Hi all! I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been presented with the opportunity to own and cherish an exquisite specimen of an early PRS Studio guitar, particularly in the rarer and captivating maple version. The guitar has retained its originality and integrity in full, showcasing the remarkable craftsmanship and attention to detail that PRS is renowned for. Notably, the distinctive Liny Fralin pickups remain nestled within, a testament to the guitar's rich history and character, preserved over the passage of time.
Despite the years that have gracefully passed, this guitar remains largely untouched, a true testament to the care and reverence it has received from its previous owners. It's an intriguing experience for me, especially considering my familiarity with winged guitars in the past. Yet, curiously, I find myself in a bit of a puzzle, still endeavoring to master the delicate art of adjusting the wings to achieve that perfect aesthetic appeal, a feat I've tackled before with other winged guitars and failed.
While this might not be classified as a "Ten Top" model, it carries a unique charm that sets it apart. The inclusion of an ink stamp serves as a mark of authenticity, a subtle signature that resonates with the essence of this instrument. This guitar has effortlessly claimed the throne as my number one choice, Its distinctive sound, historical significance, and visual allure have firmly established it as the centrepiece of my collection.
