NGD.....Have You Ever Been Experienced????

[Tosca]

Ok, I just got this back from the guy I bought it from:

I bought it used from Brian’s Guitars in Cheshire CT. It was one that someone bought and later traded back to the shop in unplayed condition according to the guy that I talked to.

So, I am saying I have your old Exp Ltd, and you have the serial wrong! Small world!

Yup. No doubt. Enjoy it my friend...excellent guitar!

WOW!

This thread is really not helping my Paul's GAS!

 

[Hotspur]

Man that is possibly the prettiest guitar I have ever seen.

This thread is really not helping my Paul's GAS!

Paul’s gas is good. Embrace it.

Paul’s gas is good. Embrace it.

Breathe it in, relish in its pungency.

Well, I (now) have!


I was on the lookout for a fall guitar purchase. I alerted The Pusher that I was accepting links. My head was towards a Santana Retro, specifically from 2020 as I wanted to check out the TCI pickups and Nitro finish, or a 2020 Paul's Guitar, for the same reasons. Maybe toss the 594 HB or an old HB Spruce into the hunt. I was in no hurry, thinking a late September purchase would be prudent.

Of course, then I stumble across this hot 2018 Experience Limited, on Reverb, early last week. I added it to my watch list. Checked the listing several times a day. I was going to let it go over the weekend, but as I was shutting down Friday afternoon, I decided to throw caution to the wind. It was listed substantially lower than the others I have seen listed, or what those have sold for in the past. It was too good of a deal to pass up.


Here are the specs:

• Top wood: Private Stock Carved Figured Maple
• Back wood: Mahogany
• Neck wood: Mahogany (some nice figuring in it, too)
• Neck shape: Pattern
• Fretboard wood: Ziricote
• Fretboard inlay: Brushstroke Birds and "Pre-Factory" Small Eagle Headstock Inlay
• Fretboard radius: 10"
• Scale length: 25"
• Number of frets: 22
• Bridge: PRS Stoptail with brass inserts
• Tuners: PRS Phase III Locking Tuners
• Treble pickup: TCI Treble
• Bass pickup: TCI Bass
• Controls: Volume and Tone Controls w/ 3-way Toggle Pickup Switch and Two Mini-Toggle Coil Tap Switches
• Hybrid hardware
• PS High Gloss Nitro - Black Gold
• 1 of 100 made

Glad that one went to you, that thing is Da Bomb!!!

I love the massive fake-out of them putting it in a Fender box!
