I was patient. I became aware that these were a thing about 2 years ago. At which point they were sold out or I didn’t like the few stragglers that were available
It finally came: straight from euro
And I friggin love it. Gorgeous satin finish on the entire guitar. I was not aware of this. Almost all my PRS are satin! Coincidence? The feel of the swamp ash grain is great. I know this is very much not your average pretty flame/quilted PRS, but I love it.
Now of course I pimped this baby out!
I did upgrade the pickups by reusing some bare knuckles peacemakers and added black pickup covers to them. I installed a brass MannMade block. Initially I had a steel block but I realized I prefer the sustain and warmth of brass. Locking tuners were a must. As was replacing the electronics to USA grade.
I’ve had SE, S2, CE, and Core custom 24s. This is easily my favorite of the crew. It really feels special. I wish PRS did more blacked out looks on their regular lines. Seems to me you only find them on signature lines.
