Private Stock Friday

What kind of fretboard is on the PS with the sword inlay? It is unusual looking in that it is extremely open grained and porous. Not at all like Brazilian, and I rarely even see Indian that looks like that.

If you guys want video, here is one of me choosing the top. I had narrowed it down to these three tops (#7, #8 and #9). I finally chose #9

If you guys want video.......

The answer to that question is always yes.... haha

Great stuff again, Shawn! We really appreciate that you can step back in for Hunter, who stepped into your role!

And:

This. Is. Awesome. If one of these or similar is available at the PRSExperience next summer, I may just exercise all the credit limit on my credit card!

It's impossible to look at this thread each week and not want another PS.

Such awesomeness there is.

I think I'm going to answer my own question. With the open pores, line pattern and slightly purple color of the sword fretboard---is that a paduak neck?

I’m the guy in the comments who wanted #8

Unfortunately, I don't know what kind of wood was used for that one.

I think that was a good choice. The flame stood out more and it was a bit more wavy

I guess I should start another thread instead of sullying the PS Friday thread. But anyway, I decided on a different top altogether. Check it out!

If he says blue I won't share my boozy popsicle recipe with him.

I can see why!

I'm still undecided on the color, it's a toss up between Solana Burst and Violet

For reasons unknown, I see you as a Solana Burst type of guy.

 

[g.wizz]

But he might turn the tables completely
