SHOW YOUR PROTOTYPE

I have one of the 20 305 prototypes. None of them were marked in the traditional way.

As always, I got nuthin'!!!

Does an AR McCarty Singlecut count, just a little maybe?
 
Here's my 1993 McCarty prototype with vibrato. I literally chased this guitar for 20 years before I purchased it. An incredible playing and sounding guitar through my rig. I completely now understand why David Grissom played his similar gold top for so many years.

I can think of two that I've seen but never owned.

Here is Nicky's Sig Ltd Standard prototype from the Dallas 2011 show:

And here is a Custom 22 semi-hollow Standard prototype that tempted me greatly - birds would have sealed my fate. I think this one was at Brian's:

Are those NF prototypes? Very interesting!

That what it was sold to me as, PRS customer service couldn't confirm though. They sound a fair bit different to NFs to me, but that could be the body shape, 24 fret thang. They prob aren't wound with 57/08 wire as well (as the NFs are) :)
