One of the Guitar’s I always wanted to get, The limited Edition 300 Series with a one piece Cedar top!
This guitar was very lightly played and owned by a collector who rarely took it out of the case. I am excited to own this instrument ive saving up quite a while to get this and was almost derailed last weekend with that mystery Award series Unicorn PRS. Has a few little dents and dings but nothing major. For your viewing pleasure here are some photos.

Hawt damn! That’s like....looking into the surface of Jupiter’s red spot, man!
 
This f@ckin’ rules!! I too have always wanted one of these, and after playing Bodia’s... hot damn! The whole thing about PRS making better guitars now then they did before is bullish!t marketing. These guitars KILL!


..... and.... Bangin’!

Thanks! I really like the newer guitars (have a couple) but I really LOVE those pre 93’s. I discovered PRS Guitars in 1989 bought my first in early 1990. Haven’t looked back. I’m fortunate to play such awesome instruments.
 
It’s spectacular. How does the tone of the cedar top compare to maple?
Hard to compare here's why. The pickups are not the standard T&B or HFS&VB they are VB LTD treble position and VB LTD. I believe the winds may be different. The VB LTD in treble position is quit different. I'm going to do some comparisons this weekend to my other CU24's and my Santana which has 59/09 in neck and Santana Bridge PUPS. The VB LTB pickup is very a single coilish sound in full humbucker, reminds me of 59/09 but still need to do side by side comparison.

My CU24 with Redwood top sporting HFS and VB definitely sounds different than my other CU24 with maple tops and same PUPS, Redwood sound "warmer". So I imagine this Cedar top would have an influence on the sound and overtones if it have same PUPS as my other CU24's. I'm sure the Tunematic bridge and tail piece effects tone compared to my Trems.

Nevertheless this guitar sound beautiful!
