Shawn's 15 Year Employee Guitar, Start To Finish

[JMintzer]

I don't think so. I shipped it around to several members after Sergio passed it to me. It made an appearance at the last Experience, and then went quiet.

It needs to make trip to the Southeast and through the South.

I have it...

I'll bring it next week...

Hi @Shawn@PRS How is Mike’s 30 year old employee build developing?

Just asking for some friends?

Mike's guitar is still in process. It was sent out of the factory for some special acoutrement

Beautiful guitar, Shawn. You deserve it!

What a beautiful guitar! Thanks so much for the inside look on this stunning build and all the hard working people that make it happen. You could just see the laser focus and attention to detail by everybody that puts their hands on the guitar. Really amazing!

Thank you. Today marks my 18th anniversary with PRS Guitars, so now I'm only two years away from beginning my 20 Year Employee guitar!

Santana or GTFO.

I wanted a Santana for my two year employee guitar, but it was off the table at that time. For 20 years I'm going for a 594 Hollowbody. I don't have any Hollowbodies and I absolutely love that model!

 

[Shawn@PRS]

I'm leaning towards the Mosaic birds and Purple Mist finish.

Good choice...awesome model...

May I make a switching recommendation?

594 scale hollowbody santana with three 57/08s.

i don’t know... i see room for a couple more knobs. knob-actuated motorized b-bender?

If I could get a Koa top, I'd jump on it. Unfortunately figured Koa is scarce and it is only available to paying customers.

Awww man...I was only referring to the electronics not the Koa top...now I feel like a jerk.

(FWIW I think Paul should let you make a koa one...you’ve earned it!)

Congrats! 18 years with the same company, in this day and age, is quite an accomplishment.
