I got the blues.... x2

[sloanthebone]

I don't know what it is about blue guitars but I am drawn to the them like a moth to a flame.

First up is Miss January (and cover girl) from the 2015 PRS PS calendar. I figured since my wife's name is January, it was the perfect excuse to buy this one (she didn't buy the "good excuse"). I was looking for a singlecut to round out my 6 guitar collection and I had my eye on this one since I saw it 2 years ago and have been tracking it since it came up for sale. Worked out a deal (thanks Goof!) and now she is mine. I love the wraparound bridges on these guitars.

You do have a talent for accumulating some exceptional quilt there.

Incredible quilts! That 594 is outrageous!

 

[László]

Gorgeous guitars, truly. All three are incredible.

 

[MA Pete]

Sweet 594!!

 

[sergiodeblanc]

Hot damn! I knew you were selling a guitar or two to go PS but two of 'em?!?! Well done, my man.

 

[vchizzle]

Oh gawd, you got that 245?! I saw it go up on Brian's and almost shat myself. I nearly called Brian immediately. My mistake is your gain. One of my favorite SC's to grace the earth for sure. That other one ain't to shabby either. Congrats!

Couple-a great new axes there! Congrats! We all know blue is better!

We certainly do

 

[Bill SAS 513]

Just...HOLY CRAP!!! Gorgeous!!!! Congrats, and enjoy.

 

[g.wizz]

Sensory overload
That's a double hitter for sure

 

[andy474x]

594 Trem, well played sir! Wonder if those will ever make it to core...

 

[BrianC]

[django49]

Korina AND korina AND ebony.....Now THAT is a winning formula!

 

[Spikedog007]

Gorgeous! Both of em!

Really happy to see my guitar has found a good home and along side one of Pete's "seconds"... ;-)

Hey...you had your chance as the guitar was on consignment at Brian's for over 6 months!!! You could always start the "dibs" line...just sayin'

 

[dogrocketp]

I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want I want! (To quote my 5 year old great niece). Let me get in the dibs line for either one. Those are some fine instruments!
