Is anyone else GAS'g for this Private Stock?

[MusiquedeReve]

I just came across this on Reverb

I have only been on these forums for a couple of days, only received my first PRS the day I joined and I am already GAS'g - thanks to all of you lol

The GAS for private stock is a never ending thing.

85/15 LT pickups would seem to be something new.

 

[MusiquedeReve]

Do the 85/15LT's have less clarity since they are low turn?

 

[Going Modal]

They should call that purple top the “bowling ball,” ‘cause that’s what it kinda reminds me of. Sweet guitar, overall, though.

And yeah, what’s up with those “85/15 LT” pickups? A private-stock thing, or just a typo? I would guess it’s a typo, but they are the uncovered squabbins like the 85/15, so… I dunno. Why do a low-wind version of those pickups, though? Seems odd.

I’m only gas’g for crackwood.

I am brand new to PRS and this forum so please excuse my ignorance when I ask: What is crackwood?

It’s a colloquialism for rosewood, in particular rosewood necked guitars.

A-ha -- much obliged

Stunning guitar. That neck! Oh my.

And of course purple is the best colour

Originally intended for Brazilian rosewood necked guitars. Somehow it became all types of rosewood.

Oooooo ... purple velvet. No GAS here, none at all, not even a little bit, not even a teeny tiny bit













Nope still not GAS'ing ... gahhhhhhhhhh

Do PRS purples fade as fast as the blues?

 

[Silvertree]

I would have purchased this guitar months ago if the neck was a matte finish.

I owned multiple PRS guitars....and when I saw a private stock almost 100% identical to my dream build (the only difference being the inlay material, but the one it had was BETTER than what i wanted, I just didn't know it existed)....I did not hesitate....Best move I ever made!

The key to keeping them from fading is to case when not in use. There is lots of info in this thread.

Cool guitar but I don't do purple. I'm safe for now.

Nope I'm not GASing for that one, and most aren't either (it's been in the shop for a while):
- gloss on a roasted maple neck is almost criminal.
- the purple is so dark you can hardly see the burl top's figure.

And remember that this back cap means no tummy cut: it feels a bit like a Tele digging into your ribs (I learnt the hard way as my first PS had a back maple cap; fantastic looks but I preferred the comfort w/o it).

Hate to be the bearer of bad news: purple = blue+red
Might look actually better in red once it fades.

Nah, it’s all yours.

After gassing for 8 years, I’m glad to say mine has become a highly refined and rarified gas. It’s gas that knows what it wants, is patient on the stalk but silent and deadly on the pounce.
