PRS AP P22 Trem Trampas Fade Rebuild!

[jfb]

Oooooh something PS coming your way? If so, congrats and I can't wait to see it! You have spec'd out some pretty cool stuff so far sir!

Well it's just in an idea at this stage. But it's a devilish one I must say. Can't wait to see how your axe looks when complete. The materials are drool worthy for sure.

I went and read the original story....as suggested by someone who took advantage of my email address (LOL) The additional swearing and name-calling was also quite entertaining! (LOL)


Great story. Fed Ex isn't known for the smartest drivers on the planet.

I am VERY VERY VERY impressed with PRS' offer to replace the guitar. Frankly, this is another reassurance that I (like many others here) enjoy giving them business and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Let me apologize for being a douche with my comments. I'm quite willing to take my lumps.!


Congrats on the new one that will be making its way to you soon.

Not sure I understand the first part of your post? As for PRS offering to take care of me here, yes they are indeed rather fantastic!

Glad things are coming together on this. Looking at that top and neck, signs point to pure awesome.

Yeah man it happened back in September sadly. As usual, PRS has stepped up in a big way and are taking excellent care of me! It truly is a mini-PS build for me, I actually tried to buy that original P22 AP Trampas Fade pictured above from Willcutt but while the auction was still up, it seems someone had bought it from them a few hours before I had called so I missed out. This build actually ended up making up for that loss for me completely since I'll still end up getting a Trampas Fade P22 after all, and this one is coming with the P22 trem too! :rock:

HighGain, man! that P22 in the first 4 pics, the one you barely missed from Willcutt?, I bought that one! I'd been eyeing that one for a couple of months beforel I pulled the trigger, I searched and searched for the same configuration and color on a P22 trem but never found it, this is my firs PRS ever, after 20 some years playing Jacksons and Charvels, I'm a convert, even though I do have an uncommon assortment of different guitars, I know my future guitar purchases will be PRS

I'm usually lurking around here but I had to post now, since I'm still a noob, I have to find out how to post a pic to prove it, by the way, the neck is IRW and the board is ebony on mine

:rock:

Very cool, vr6corrado!

Well you sir have great taste! Yeah I specifically wanted BRW for the fretboard on mine, that's the only thing I would have changed on the AP that you got. Congrats on that awesome guitar!

I too would love to see more pics of that baby if you don't mind!

MegaBoogie, Thank you!, let’s see if I can make it work

HighGain510, yeah, I thought you had requested the Brazzy board change, I’ve read a lot about those here but never had the chance of trying one myself, I couldn’t be happier with mine though, too bad I can’t play it as much as I’d like, I’m currently stationed in the south of Mexico for a work project and won’t be able to go back home for three more weeks :bawling:

Anyway, here’s a couple of pics I have in my iphone, I do have some more but the rest are awful

I hope this is not 100% hijacking :biggrin:





And of course the pic with the amazing forum truss rod cover (Thank you Shawn!)

 

[megaboogie]

Love the top! that's going to be my new favorite finish.:top:

No apologies necessary my good man! I LOVE that guitar, thanks for providing more pics of it! Congrats again, if mine comes out half as gorgeous as that one, I'll be a very happy guy!

I'm positive yours will be total awesomeness too, AND with a trem! :biggrin:

Highgain,

I was looking to purchase the exact same guitar from Wilcutt but it did not have a trem. I must have been looking at the guitar for weeks wondering if I really needed a trem because it looked so damn good!
Weeks went by and I decided that i do need a trem and that i was going to order a P22 AP trem. I ordered exactly the same specs you are wanting 3 months ago and i should have it in my hands next week.
I'm so pumped as the last PRS guitar (20th anniversary Custom 22) i got was about 8 years ago!

Looks like my name is up, she's done WAY early! GO GO PRS PRODUCTION TEAM! I won't have her in my hands until tomorrow but I WAS provided with some pictures to at least hold me over so I'm not sitting there in a cold sweat at the office! :rofl:

Looks like it's Christmas in November this year! I SO cannot wait to play this baby! :rock:

 

[Egads]

Hubba Hubba! That is stunning. Very cool that they were able to get that out so quickly, too. Can't wait to hear he tone report.

 

[Jose]

The first one was amazing, but this one came out even better!! And trem to boot!

 

[megaboogie]

Awesome! man that color is really growing on me!

 

[vr6corrado]

Man that is a gorgeous guitar!

kinda reminds me of mine!

Congrats!

Hahaha I wonder why?! ;p



Thanks gents! Here's a few quick cell phone shots until I get the chance to take some proper ones with my SLR this weekend:

(wish that one said "Custom Built for Matt G. Only!" due to the circumstances surrounding the build! haha)
