Work of art there. I can’t imaging selling something like that! It looks like your first pic was blessed by the spirit of EVH...Well it's next in line to be sold.

That is just spectacular. My Pauls is my favorite.Thanks all. A few more (and final) pictures of the completed upgrade:

you're right.... its so damn nice looking though !!!!Well it's next in line to be sold. Probably will decide this week depending on how I feel about the Paul's 85 once I get it back repaired.
That said, do you really want a 3rd Paul's Guitar on top of having 2 MEVs ???
I can already feel the Force causing me to clear a spot on the music room wall...You're right, I didn't think about it.
I'm with you, it's a great PG. It's just that with the Paul's 85 neck fitting my hand like a glove, and there can only be one lol.

It’s a forum no-no. This is a PRS decision, and we honor it accordingly, even though it would be nice.I'm sure you'll have lots of people interested, myself included. Now whether or not I can afford it is another discussion entirely. I'd be interested to know how much you're looking for when you decide to unload it. Speaking of, is there a classifieds on this forum that I've overlooked so far, or is that a PRS forum no-no. Not offended or upset either way, just genuinely curious as I haven't spent much time looking around the forum, despite being a member (albeit not a great contributor) for quite some time now.
Exactly.
While I'm more than happy to say it might be up for grabs in the near future (that isn't guaranteed), that's as far as I will go.
Pricing discussions about new guitars, or private sales is a big no-non here as Rick said.
If you're really that curious there are plenty of ways to reach out.
That said at the moment it's not going anywhere until I get my Paul's 85 back and finally get to spend more quality time with it to assess the pros (insane tone / playability) and cons (price, lacquer that might check just looking at it, and having a Core PG that gets pretty damn close playability and tone wise).
...you should start a new tradition.
Doc Pimps my Core!
Crazy great guitar!!! That’s a do it yourself Private Stock you got there. With Sergio occupied elsewhere, and his design on a dimebag threads a distant fond memory...you should start a new tradition.
Doc Pimps my Core!
Thanks!
I like the idea lol. I should definitely document that in one place.
I even do that to my PS. In fact I'm very likely to do an Electric Tiger matching truss rod cover and backplate for my Paul's 85, I don't know if I'll go as far as putting locking tuners on it so I can add stained tuners buttons but the idea definitely crossed my mind.
This orange tiger PG turned out great, and it's a really fantastic playing and sounding guitar.
The other one that got the full treatment was my Bonnie Pink CU24:

Hmmmmmm. How much to consider making that 2 matching TRCs and backplates for a Paul’s 85? Asking for a friend....

the Paul's 85 isn't.
Edited reply: in short PRS dropped the ball on what was supposed to be a repair of shipping trauma.
