Score!
There aren’t many pernambuco acoustics out there. They sound great.

Koa is much closer to mahogany than it is to rosewood.

Saturday will seem like forever.
Folks I have to give a BIG THANK YOU for helping me on this journey , your insight and clips made it worthwhile and while I'd contemplated many other instruments , I think I lucked into if nothing else a piece of valuable history . I got to meet Ricky at the Ryman about 25 years ago , we were touring it with Family up there, he was very sweet and asked us if we wanted to come to the show that night , how many of us were there? I felt embarassed as we had a Big crew , I smiled and said we are a big clan Sir there are 14 of us ... No problem .. free tickets .. I'll never forget that show , the only one I ever enjoyed with my late folks.

The sound of that PRS Tonare really stood out to me from that selection! After scrolling, I see that Greywolf opted for a very similar model!! Thanks for sharing that clip Veinbuster!!!
OMG .. I think I may have died and gone to heaven .. built for Ricky Skaggs ... it is just TOO special to pass up , so I pulled the trigger , Got it for $315 off asking .same price as the McManus I was looking at ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY Greywolf!!!

You Mr Greywolf, have assembled a dream collection of PRSi here! Congrats on a great choice/score!! As I mentioned above, I watched Veinbuster's clip and I thought, wow, that Tonare with the Pernambuco is the ONE, and as I scroll, I see that is what you opted for. The clip that you posted of this git being played reinforces what I believe, that you have made a very Dreamy sound decision!!!
Thanks Moondog . The tough part about being a collector and luthier is , at my age ( 68 next month) it's hard to find something I don't have or can't build . Each aquisition makes the task that much harder and ... more expensive . Thankfully my Son and grandsons realize that these are Family investments and heirlooms to be cherished for the next 2 generations at least. While I find it hard to imagine something more delicious than my K26CE I'm waiting to retire that sweetheart now.

Damn, great vid, that dude could make a Sears Roebuck guitar sound great! Love those 10sec clips, great to hear the comparison one after another. PRS acoustics are amazing and underrated.
