I think I briefly lost consciousness looking at those...
Holy crap.

Wow
These are going to be crazy good!

Phew...I got all kinds of excited when I saw P-90 Neck / HB Bridge combo

• Then my credit card sighed in relief after seeing McCarty instead of SC 594.

+1 All other guitars are trash.

So I looked up "torrefied" and while I kinda understand what it means (sorta)...what does it mean in regards to its impact on the wood as a building material for a guitar? Is it just a "better" way to prep the wood in comparison to the typical PRS hot / drying room process....???

 

[MichaelC24]

Brian are you kidding me?!?! WHITE WASHED ICE BURST!!!!! I might be the only one on this forum that literally drools over Whitewash PRSi....
Please show us a sneak peak of what this stain is gonna look like, I can't wait that long to see the final product!
Then again maybe you shouldn't...I might take out a loan on my home for this guitar. The wife might not be ok with that.
