So folks it's been a long day so don't mind me if I doze off in the middle of this.
As you know , I got a Modern Eagle V not too long ago, which as you can imagine has sent me down a rabbit hole of guitars with 408 pickups (Paul's , 408s, Signature Limited etc).
There had been two guitars that had always been on the one day to buy list. An original run Signature Limited , with the controversial 'Sinker' mahogany necks, ideally one of the 100 PS versions. And an original run 2013 PRS Paul's Guitar.
Well, a recent check in the local classifieds found them both. Same gentleman. Both had insane quilt tops (We have talked before in this forum about how rare good quilt tops are getting, even in Private Stock).
We talked a price which was fair to him but gave me some benefit of picking both up together. He came over to show the guitars as well as check out my 513s. I inspected his guitars and the deal was done.
Below is a very quick and dirty video. Better videos will follow. The guitars are
Guitar 1: 2011 PRS Private Stock Signature Limited #63-100 in Glacier Blue. I don't know if the colour has faded because I see lots of variations of the colour including a couple which look exactly the same as this. What I do is that the top resembles pearls inside ice, if that makes any sense. My video does no justice. More on this front soon
Guitar 2: 2013 Paul's Guitar Artist Pack. Not sure what colour this is? Can anyone enlighten me? But again, a top like none other. I wouldn't call it Artist grade, it feels Private Stock Grade to me.
A bit crazy to pick this up so soon, but then often the guitars we are looking for don't find us at the right moments and we are never able to find them again. So it had be done.
Of course I am chuffed. And very tired. Goodnight! Or rather good morning to you fine folks on the other side of the world.
