Does anyone have a photo of Private Stock #299 they can share/post?

I'm looking for a good photo of this rare Private Stock PRS mandolin. It's one of perhaps a handful of mandolins PRS has made So darn elusive. This one has an incredible purple finish.

thx,
JTSC

The right hand or bottom picture in this link may be what you are looking for. Can't tell for sure: http://www.emando.com/builders_active/Paul_Reed_Smith.htm





Upon closer inspection, I think they are all 3 Private Stock.....

Markie, I appreciate. None of those are #299 but beauties none the less and indeed Private Stock or prototypes/one offs. One of those in your pic from emando.com may be owned by Mark Tremonti. What I love about the elusive Private Stock #299 is that it is a crazy over the top purple - just a stunning example of a "throw it in your face" mandolin.

I thank you for your reply!

All I could find is that it's November in the 2004 Private Stock Calendar. So if you can find one of those...

Kinda fuzzy but I did find this pic of a PRS Mandolin though:

Just saw you posted a different thread about the calendar. Sorry about that. You do know the pic in the calendar is the back of the Mandolin? Not sure if there are other pics of it or not.

fsjeter, yes that's the one (November 2004 calendar image) - and I have never seen the inside of the calendar so I don't know if the top is visible in any other photos. But that's what I want to see (the golden ticket)! I'm hoping someone has an image of this mandolin, #299, from the top/front. I am considering a Private Stock build and before I commit to the price and work, I'd really like to see how this one in particular turned out. I appreciate your post.
