[Tony M.]

Someone was looking for a Vela if I recall correctly?

For that amount of money, you figure they'd stain it. Cutting corners again, I see.

yeah, I have a 97 Custom 22 they did the same thing on. As much as I LOVE the artistic stain work they can do, my "natural" Custom 22 is a BEAUTIFUL guitar.

That is such a beauty.. although I love my 2017 satin black Vela, I guess I would do a straight swap if they asked me ......

For THAT money I’ll keep my “ Reclaimed Wood “ forever!!!!!!!

 

[Boogie]

Beauty. I’m still a fan of the Vela bridge.

Please do not remind me that the reclaimed wood Vela's were ever a thing... I have to deny their existence to resist a constant urge to search one out

“Vela!”

PS book matching????

Another change in PRS PS pricing structure. Used to be that non-carved top PS models had a lower base price; not anymore.

That's a stupid amount of $$$, especially for something that butt-ugly...
The back looks a lot better, except the cavity cover doesn't even match.....
But just maybe there's someone out there lonely enough to love it...

That’s why they make more that one model and offer different paints. I don’t thinks it’s ugly by any stretch, but that’s subjective opinion. I’m a huge fan of natural maple.
However, I do agree about the price.

I’d rock that, but not for that price.

I like the scratchplate and the it’s a fine piece of maple!
