PSA - Paul's "Actual" Guitar for Sale

[EdSevered]

For those PRS fanbois with the deeper pockets...

That is one beautiful axe, very unique color. It seems to me a little odd that a PRSh personal guitar has a stamped serial #, whereas those that are sold get a hand-painted serial.

It's not a PRSh-personal thing vs. the Paul's Guitar production model thing--it's actually because of the rosewood neck. ALL PRS rosewood necks get their serial numbers stamped-in and not handwritten, since rosewood necks don't get the typical finish applied to them (rosewood doesn't need it; they're basically unfinished/raw wood).

The production Paul's Guitar has a mahogany neck with standard finish on it, so they hand-write in paint-marker over that. I guess one could ask "why not hand-write in gold paint marker over the dark rosewood, too?" And I suppose that's still a good question. But personally I suspect that they hand-write the # and then apply one more clear-coat over it (?).

Please, someone buy it so he doesn't frame it.

 

[Serious Poo]

I hope whoever buys it uses the guitar to write and record some interesting music. Guitars like that shouldn’t be just hung up and stared at, IMHO.

 

[Ovibos]

Bah, doesn't even come with the beat up SE gig bag he used to transport it. Pass.

$4,995.20 price drop lol

Looks like an Indian Rosewood neck, not Brazilian. What do you guys think?

The story behind it implies that it's a regular-production guitar that Paul then snatched back from a dealer. And it's also apparently a Modern Eagle II. So, knowing those things (not custom, and being MEII) it would have to be Indian Rosewood because that's what was on the MEII guitars.

I know inflation has started to pop up again, but not that much!
How many guitars were Paul’s over the year? How many does Tonart own?

 

[Black Plaid]

That's not a unique color, there are many guitars with that color that were made. It was in fact, a production color for that line of production guitars.

Whomever is selling that is delusional. That's already dropped $5k shows that no one has any interested in some random guitar Paul played for a little bit at that price.

Is it cool to have a guitar that Paul played and liked? Yes. Is it worth 4x the price of what the guitar would otherwise cost? Nah.

How many guitars were Paul’s over the year?

Not a lot. He has never kept many for himself and some he played for a couple of years. He has played PRS guitars that weren’t his at appearances, and sometimes those are sold.

I would speculate guitars that would be considered his would be in the 17-25 range.

That’s the range I would guess as well based on what I’ve read over the years.

I was merely suggesting the asking price for this particular listing is...rather generous

I agree on the price. Sometimes you just have to throw a number out and see what happens.

Heartily agree - why bid against yourself?

Ahhh yes...the old "spaghetti against the wall" method.

$17-25k?!

I think he’s speculating “number of”, not cost.
