I have had mine for a few years now and I use it a ton. Absolutely ridiculous guitar.
Here is a take on Comfortably numb with it!

Wow, maple board even! Is this a limited run? I wold love to have one with a maple board! I bet you it is really Strat-like.Love mine , it's the swiss army knife of tone
Very nice! Korina back?I was just playing mine last night, not much it can’t do!
Thanks!Nice!
Nope this one is swamp ash.Very nice! Korina back?
Now I see it! Sweet!Nope this one is swamp ash.
Very nice. I absolutelylove those Single cut Hollowbodies. Is it a Single cut hollow body II with a maple back?I feel I’m blessed to have picked up a number of special PRS guitars over the years, and my 2018 Special Semi-Hollow with the 58/15MTs is absolutely one of them. Wonderful guitar; a treasure.
Intersting point. My 1999 Archtop II has a Brazilian Rosewood board. I am pretty sure that guitar would work great with an ebony board.I made the mistake of buying an Artist version with an ebony fretboard. It didn't have the warmth of tone I was looking for. I was my own fault. I knew I was taking a risk, since I don't love ebony fretboards on a solid or semi-hollow guitar. They're fine for me on a big hollowbody.
A Special with a rosewood fretboard is on my 2024 Get List.
I had a couple of Collings acoustics; they're super nice guitars! Mine were SJs.Intersting point. My 1999 Archtop II has a Brazilian Rosewood board. I am pretty sure that guitar would work great with an ebony board.
My 2012 Collings Eastside has a light Rosewood board, the first one I played had an ebon board. A friend who used to work for Collings said he always proffered the Eastside with the ebony board. The early ones(including mine) are also X-Braced, and come with a single Dollar High wind humbucker. They since then switched to parallel bracing and a Humbucker Sized Lollar Charlie Christian Pickup.(My "15 Eastside Jazz has those specs.).The Collings CL which is the same size as the Eastside jazz, but with a carved spruce top and mahogany back, 25.5 scale and a Lollar floating mini humbucker (The new ones are parallel braced). It has a ebony board which fits.
Bottom line is there are so many variables when it comes o guitars, there could be other factors in the guitars that made it not as warm sounding as you hoped for. Another guitar with identical specs (iIncluding the ebony board) could end up super warm..
