I was at our local shop the other day and asked if they were going to be getting any of this model in stock; they said that the 3 they got all sold right away, but that they'd call their PRS rep to see if they could do anything.

I stopped back in yesterday to drop off some gear for consignment, and they told me that this model had sold WAY better than PRS had anticipated, and that they could get me one sometime in 2022. The only place that had it in stock was MF (so of course GC online as well; none at our local store). Even Sweetwater, Alto and CME were waiting on new shipments.

So I placed a call to MF (haven't ordered from them in years) and ordered one. My local shop said they were cool with this and that they'd setup and service it. Should be here sometime next week. Yay!

The hard part is going to be that once they are done with the setup, it goes back in the box and under the Christmas tree until Dec 25th! That's okay tho; I got my wife a new guitar too. It already arrived, so I have it stashed in my studio. It's going to drive her crazy - she'll know it's a guitar, but she's probably already forgotten about wanting the one I got for her. She'll be asking, and my answer will be, "Maybe. You'll just have to wait and see." Gonna drive her nuts!
 
Congrats, it’s a really sick colour and a pretty damn good guitar too. Just curious, what exactly are you expecting them to ‘setup’ differently than PRS do?

When my SE arrived it only needed a few tweaks to the saddles in order to get the action down a bit. The rest of it was spot on. It was even pretty much in tune (which obviously isn’t important at all, but does show that it had received ‘some’ attention prior to shipping).
 
They're saying that it will be delivered tomorrow. I find that hard to believe, but UPS is supposed to be starting Saturday deliveries according to my delivery guy, so we'll see. It is going to be a LONG wait until Christmas!

You're a nice person! Congrats on the best color PRS, Green! IMHO of course ;)
