Hello everyone.
For folks that have been here too long (like me) the thought of a forum guitar brings back memories of endless spec revisions and ultimately no guitar...although some of the ideas for this were truly awesome. About a month ago...a thread about the 509 model started a conversation between a few of us about specs we would like for a Wood library 509. Fortunately enough of us agreed, so this run is going to happen! (Thanks to one of our most excellent PRS dealers here...initials BG).
The basic idea was a run of 509s with maple necks and swamp ash bodies...and some cool colors.
The final specs look like this:
Model 509
Neck: Satin Artist figured maple
Fingerboard: Artist figured maple
Top: Artist grade Flame or Quilt Maple...to be selected by dealer based on best tops available.
Body: Swamp Ash (3 piece)
Inlays: Black Corian outline, Sparkle MOP Centers
Hardware: Smoked Black w Nickel mounting screws
Case: Black Paisley Artist
There are still some available...so thought we'd throw it open to the group to see if anyone else wants to join us. There is still the opportunity to possibly pick the color (from core or artist package list) of your choice (definitely if two people want the same color). Let me know if you're interested and I'll PM you the details.
