Im looking for some info on a guitar I have and hoping anyone can help maybe even Paul himselfI have a'98 CE22 that I traded up to. Its the weirdest colour. It looks like it started life as a whale blue but then faded into blueish gray. Visible on the sides and back is the original blue colour but the top is faded and there are hints of blue on certain spots on the top. I'll attach pictures.It has a beautiful top with DragonII pickups. I removed the 5way and installed 3way toggle and coil tap on the neck pickup. Wide thin neck and all other standard appointments from that era. Its a great playing and sounding guitar. Here's the weird thing. With the weird colour(faded hombre grey?) that PRS doesn't offer I was curious and had to dive deeper.Removing the pickups to inspect cavities for clues a found FSR(factory special run???) in the cavities. My questions are.
1. Did PRS do factory special runs?
2. was whale blue offered as a colour option in 1998?
3. When was the whale blue colour first offered?
4. Is it possible that the colour faded that badly?
5. What is the deal with this guitar???????
6. first post so I can't seem to post pictures not sure what's up
Any help is appreciated.
