PS Tree of Life CU22

This showed up in my inbox today via Wild West Guitars and I felt compelled to share.

Should I ever get to bring a private stock dream to fruition, this inlay motif is currently #1 on my lust list as it's some of the finest attention to detail I've ever seen on a fingerboard.

What an awesome build. Please feel free to join me in drooling.

Stunning, very similar to the 1996 Rosewood Ltd.

I like that they finished it in a way that is similar to the Rosewood limited. Different inlay, but similar spirit.

I had a Gibson Super SJ 250, which was a special one-off I had built in Kalamazoo in the 1970's. I had a complete recreation of an 1890 Mauer vine from an original 1890's Mauer guitar done for that guitar.

As much as I truly love the pearl, abalone, and other artwork on these guitars, I could never find my place around the neck, even with the side dots. The necks were just a wee bit too busy for me.

Now, as I look closely at this PRS, I see where the fret spaces which would have a bird or a moon do have a flower, and the next fret has some leaves. If the space on the fret where there is just a leaf was less cluttered, I would love to have one of these guitars.

This thread may interest you (read blow your mind). Apart from the usual and natural expresssions of 'mine is best', there are truly spectacular examples posted. Watch out for the 'guitar of the gods'.

Fantastic. Thanks for the link!
