Modern Eagle production numbers?

[Brad737]

Hello all,

I remember a thread back on BAM where folks were talking about production numbers. I seem to remember that we figured there around 1000 Modern Eagles among the various incarnations...doublecut stoptails, doublecut trems , and SCTs. Also, there was discussion of the different colors. Are there any definitive numbers? Also, any ideas of the ME NOS guitars? I think I remember reading there were about 100 NOS models produced. Anyone know?

Thanks,
bs

The total quantity produced was pure speculation and PRS doesn't publish production numbers. I did run a poll to try and get a feel for percentages of each version. From roughly 100 original Modern Eagles represented, 1 in 5 were the singlecut variety. I don't recall what the percentages were for double-cut stop tail vs double-cut trem but I believe it was even.

Thanks, Hans. Do you think approximately 1000 is a good estimate?

I honestly have no clue.
