So I was pondering where this putative JM Sig "Son of a DC3" might fit into the line-up, both marketing-wise and price-point-wise.
It is a bolt-on. So I will start with where the current CE24 sits. Marketing-wise that makes for a nice comparison, and the two very different options might mean no cannibalism of the CE24 sales.
The body shape is simpler, so costs should be lower. The body doesn't have the fancy-ish tops of figured maple, so maybe that also cuts costs - just a single slab of alder/ash to shape. So some cost savings there, lowering the price.
Hardware could be the equivalent of an upgrade from the Import version to the US-made versions, so a cost increase there (I believe the CE uses the same trem as the SE line, IIRC). IMHO it should come in a hardshell case instead of the gig bag (even though I happily use gig bags for many of my PRSi!), so that also adds to cost. JM may get a piece of the pie, so perhaps that is an added cost.
Not sure about the pickups - PRS has the single coils from the 509, or maybe JM has a particular 3rd-party-branded set he prefers. Could go either way.
So overall, maybe about the same price point as the CE24.
Alternatively I could see it placing with the S2 line. That would fit in with the "working guitarist's guitar", no fancy top, but a quality USA-built instrument. It is kinda similar to an S2 Standard 22 but with birds on the neck, and a different pickup configuration on the pickguard. So it could slot in a bit higher than that price range too, around the same as a S2 Custom 22.
Third possibility, it might have a highly-figured maple top, with figured (flame) rock maple neck, gold-trimmed bird inlays, and a piezo built into the bridge, resulting in dual outputs a la the P24 (Custom 24 Piezo), not quite as extreme as the Super Eagle II, but driving the price well into Core territory or beyond.
or...
What do I know?
