I wonder if adding your own UV protective finish would make a difference and prevent fading significantly. Assuming you buy the guitar for your own personal enjoyment and don't care about potential loss in resale value. Personally I'd love a NL.
Anyone know if the Aquableux Purple Burst has the same problems. I am actually looking for something special for my 50th which comes up in 3 years and had to strike off the NL for the reasons stated previously. One of my favourite guitars is a SE Zach Myers, quite fancy one of these as an upgrade
It does and the pic you posted is already faded considerably (that happened in the span of about a year as this WL batch was from fall 2018), see a few examples in https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/northern-lights-video.40317/page-2
They also have an Indigo PS that isn't quite as blue anymore:
Note I have a NL (used to have a PS, now it's a Wood Library posted in a recent NGD thread) and keep it in the case for this reason.
At the very least I think PRS could put a note indicating the perils of leaving a guitar exposed to daylight for and extended amount of time.
