PRS Electric

[Hans]

I bought pretty old Paul Reed Smith guitar. It is a so called PRS Electric and that is the name on the headstock. Must be produced end of the 80th or 1990/91.. That must be the model that PRS offered before they came up with the CE model.
Does anybody have some more informations about this guitar?

There's not an awful lot to go on can you post some pics (the serial number might help as well) so the knowledgeable can see what it is?

I would like to post a pic/jpg, but I don´t find any way to post it here. Any idea?

I REALLY want an '88 in white. Alder body, 1-piece trem, not wide-thin neck...

You found a keeper. The alder body is unique for PRS. The PRS electric logo was changed after the first year or so because of a trademark dispute with Peavey who had trademarked the "Classic" name for it's line of amps. They are great guitars. Congrats!

To post pictures you must upload them to a third-party website like Photobucket or Flickr. The you link them in your post.

Exactly what I own by myself
A Classic Electric from 1988, 24fret, white, Tremolo, not wide-thin neck. A really great instrument, the best I've ever hold in my hands. I bought in in the early 90s.
