Rep Sample?

[that_brianm_guy]

Hey all,

Recently looked in the bridge pickup cavity of a new to me SC245, and written on the top of the MODCAT sticker is "Rep Sample"

[I've tried to insert a pic, but to no avail]

I emailed PRS, and they said "Rep sample would just indicate a guitar that was given to one of our sales reps to showcase to dealers in their area."

Anyone else run across this?

Thoughts?

Makes sense. Not sure if there's any provenance or distinction regards this, though. Perhaps once given to a sales rep who was allowed to keep the piece and eventually sold it. Makes for a good story, though, if you could track down who the sales rep was...
