First of all, I apologize for doing whatever is making this post get taken down. I originally posted it as a reply in a thread about a Vela review, but maybe hijacking that thread isn't appropriate. I'm just really excited about this guitar and wanted to share with everyone because I think it's one of the most beautiful and unusual guitars that I've seen from PRS. I would think that date wants you to be able to see it too but that doesn't seem to be the case. Moderators, there is something wrong with this post please contact me so that I can fix it and share this guitar with the forum
Maybe my story isn't 100% accurate? But this is what was told to me by the dealer and they are a very reputable PRS dealer. I've done my due diligence on the story of this special run and everything checks out. These guitars were special ordered over a year ago - they were ordered by a dealer local to me called Axe Palace, and luckily for me, one person backed out because he didn't want to wait any longer. What's special about these guitars is that two of them are custom finishes and all of them have white birds on an ebony fingerboard versus the dots on a rose gold fingerboard. The white birds on an ebony fretboard look phenomenal! I think they should do this more often
The special run was five each of five different guitars. There was a frost blue metallic, a frost green metallic, a purple metallic, and this silverburst.
The serial number shows a model year of 2022, but the build date on the tag is 01/23/23. Smells fresh!
I feel very lucky to have walked into this tiny guitar store on exactly the right day - within days of when the guitar came in for the buyer backed out.
These pictures are pictures that were taken by the dealer except for the last one which was a pretty bad quic snap I took as proof of life because I had to come into the hospital for surgery. But I'm including it so you know that it's a guitar not just some mock-up that I did. I apologize for the quality.
