Sorry for the newbie question but I am hoping to order a koa Private Stock Hollowbody to celebrate my 50th birthday in September of 2023. Given that PRS customer service recently told me the current wait is about 12-24 months, I wanted to get the order process started.
I had a question for those here in the know about the choice of dealer. I have ordered custom instruments in the past (direct from small luthiers and big companies like the Build to Own Taylor program) with mixed results. I don’t expect a lot but do want a good working relationship with the dealer I choose.
Is there anything wrong with soliciting quotes and opening discussions with multiple dealers before deciding formally on one? I didn’t know if prices would vary, and deposit process, their access to PRS vault inventory, vary, etc.
For a guitar that costs that much money and is that much of a time investment I wanted to be sure I had no regrets. Or is there no difference and so I should just grab the closest official Private Stock dealer to me locally?
