A very special birthday month of May

[ZoomP]

I've shared earlier that my lovely wife decided to get me a special guitar for my 50th Birthday. Coincidentally my local guitar store recently found a NOS PRS West St Limited that was kept in their storeroom since 2008. Though the case smells a little musky, the guitar was in brand new condition despite some tarnishing of the brass hardware.

They also informed me yesterday (which was a day after my birthday) that the only allotted Silversky Dead Spec just arrived at that store! I was able to reserve this piece when the news broke out in November last year.

So ladies and gentlemen, two very special PRS found their way into my collection since this month of May:

Instead of the usual full guitar photos, here's some macro shots of the lovely Dead Spec.

And finally... the two babes together!

So much goodness there! Congrats on two great guitars, and a great wife! My Westie will be the last to go. Love that guitar so much. Great top on yours, and I always loved how a little sunlight makes that brown finish look orange. So cool!

A NOS Westie and a Dead-spec SS? Happy F'in Birthday indeed!!

That wife just might be a keeper - of course, good luck matching this when it's your turn to reciprocate for her

OMG! So many congrats on the new axes!! KILLER pair!!! Please thank your wife for setting a proper example for other wives ;~))

 

[FragileThunder]

Amazing. Congrats!

The Dead Spec surprised me on the build. Definitely more attention paid than a regular production silver sky. Also noticed that the neck is slightly thicker and rounder shoulders. We compared with a regular silver sky at the shop.

btw, mine does not come with any whammy bar now. I think they probably realised it's useless to include a bar with the Dead Spec. The hangtag shows that it was completed in Mar '24.

Congratulations and what a wonderful wife.
