First ever spalted maple top PRS

[Herr Squid]

Trendsetter!

(And y'know for some idiotic reason I never realized that was a bird TRC...).

I gotta go see where mine is. I remember taking if off my Classic Electric before I sold it (the guitar) and it needs to be on a guitar again.

Also the first 24 fret PRS with 11 “birds” on the neck?

 

[Moondog Wily]

11 tops the birds! Tremendous hunk of beauty!! Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[Uncle Bob]

Wow! Being super picky I would have liked to see a veneered headstock too, but it’s a stunning guitar.

 

[bodia]

That’s really cool, Steve. How many did you have them build with your wood?

 

[ScottR]

THAT...is friggin killer!

 

[CrimesAgainstMusic]

Wow Awesome finish ...Almost looks like marble !

You got them wacky tuners on there, don't ya ?

I don’t really know Jim, but I’d estimate 30 +/-. Some were contributions like this PS Starla with only my birdseye pick guard and fret board since they didn’t have any.



Or this exhibition grade claro back. I supplied a lot of walnut before they stocked any.

 

[alantig]

I think that’s the new design to replace all those birds.

Nah, it's just another bird from a different book.

It would be fun to hear that Starla in action!

 

[beckstriad]

Beautiful!

 

[NazgulUK]

What a stunning collection, and super cool to be using your own wood

I’ve only seen it behind glass. You know, the Museum of Natural Finishes in BF Indiana.

 

[Silvertree]

What a neat guitar. That has to be special to submit your own wood like that.

 

[vchizzle]

Excellent!

BF Indiana, BF Michigan, I'd like to go where it's not BF, but I'm not sure where that is.

It seems to be an accurate generalization of 85% of the state. Funny enough, I’ve never seen a sign for Bumfook. Maybe I’m spelling it wrong?

You have to look at the back of the sign.

Huh, didn’t believe 26 years was enough to develop mold on a guitar top? I kiid, I kiid

A beauty to be sure
