The Vintage Yellow Thread.

[Alnus Rubra]

That’s so good to hear Shawn, you guys and your families and guitars all deserve some quality time over the festive period.

Have a great Christmas with your family and your new guitar.

I’m guessing as Santa has been so good to you this year, that you must not have been on the “naughty list”?!

I'd have to agree that there is something very special about Vintage Yellow. Here is my 2008 Custom 22 10-top with a rosewood neck and natural back. Sorry for the cr@ppy iPhone pics....

And since it's that time of year....(those are Christmas lights)

And just for grins, here are a couple of family shots...

What a lovely family of PRSi.

Fantastic

I don't think I have ever had a truly yellow guitar before. Buff, amber and similar colors with yellow in it certainly, but. Might have to visit @sergiodeblanc's shake-da-can shop!

Yes, and I was struggling to find the right words. Thank you!

Please imagine Derek and Clive’s Moonlight Sonata uploaded here NSFF!

How close is Honey? I can play if it's close enough!

Love some Derek & Clive!

Thanks for the video, Shawn! That room looks like it holds some awesome stuff (which I guess we've seen at times during Experience).

Happiest of holidays to all at the factory!

You’ve seen mine already. I can’t link pics, but it’s exactly like this one.

Nonetheless, the best, most irresistible PRS color ever (for me) is Black Gold.

I hated my SY 245. It was only yellow in perfect light, brown in most lighting.

My VY245 pops in all light and is a generally fantastic looking guitar. It looks amazing in band pics.

See? I told you it was the best color.

It’s not really VY, but parts of it are yellowish

My wife tells me I prefer my emerald SC.

That looks like private stock wood, or is it an exceptional core instrument? either way, it looks wonderful.

Not private stock, but the wood was selected by Paul.

I've killed for less than the contents of that case containing the VY. The figure of that top is amazing.

I passed up the opportunity to purchase a 1988 VY CU24 a couple of months ago and this thread has made me realise I may have made a mistake. There's plenty of time yet though.

I suppose he knows a thing or two about selecting a nice top It looks great!
