I believe all PRS brazilian RW is legally sourced. The only difference being any braz guitar not intended to be sold and shipped to overseas dealers, ie meant to be sold only to domestic dealers, would never have an CITES export permit applied for it by PRS.
The CITES export permit is the only means to ship braz overseas legally. In addition the receiving party has to apply for a CITES
import permit for the guitar to legally enter their country. What a frightful mess.
But that also means it’s very likely no one henceforth can ever apply a CITES export permit for these domestic market guitars, ever, because you can no longer trace the guitar back to the original timber batch. The authorities would ask for the original timber data, and it’s not realistic to expect PRS would provide it.
Conclusion is that such guitars are stuck in the original country of manufacture permanently and it’s the same for any brand and any country. Unless you’re talking about some small boutique maker that can provide you the original timber data any given time.
Oops I’m regretting turning this thread serious. It’s.....boring I know!
