The great OPAQUE PRS thread

[Going Modal]

No longer own these but had to share.

I'm curious--is that a Swamp-ash Special Narrowfield that got modified with a bridge HB, or simply a Studio model with an SAS truss-rod cover?

I liked that black sparkle run they did; it wasn't a discount to fancy tops though so didn't quite get the pricing

Winner!

it is in serious need of a good setup. I haven’t touched it in a good while. Thinking of sending it home for a real setup.

 

[DISTORT6]

maybe

White is very opaque.

Classy as heck! Also, I do believe I see some really nice figuring on that fretboard, too! I like.

Thank you! Yes it has a Ziricote fretboard with some crazy figuring. It’s an interesting mix of plain top and figuring everywhere else.

Only have the Blue one. But I think I like opaque more and more these days.

Wait....

What even is that!?!? Looks like it started life as an old CE.

There's gotta be a story there.

If I recall there’s some photo progressions of it around here.

I was wracking my brain for lack of an opaque PRS to post... and then I remembered...

It's a Swamp Ash Studio and that was the factory setup. I think they only made them for a year or two and if I recall, mine was a 2011.

A little double dipping in this thread now:

This is kindof a terrible pic, I'll have to take a better one.

 

[pac90]

This is perfect, love it!

 

[WEDGE]

That blue is so bold. I love it.

I have come to a very interesting conclusion......I actually like Opaque guitars BETTER than Flame, Quilt, and so forth....... Don't get me wrong they are GORGEOUS, I just like the Opaque better! My exception is my Reclaimed Vela. she is perfect!
