Was thinking about this today...
Seems most of my fleet is comprised of guitars that PRS no longer makes.

In order of acquisition, mine are:

2009 SE One
2009 305
2008 Core Mira
2012 P22
2018 594 Soapbar
2000 Singlecut
2019 594 Singlecut Semihollow

Survivors are:

2001 McCarty
2018 Silversky
2017 WL 594
2021 594 Hollowbody

Seven to four. Hmmm...
How about you?
 
Here's my PRS Archtop II from 1999. They only made these for about 18 months, I think. I added 53/10 pickups, now unobtainium.

Bought it in 2009 from SeriousPoo here. My bitter joke at the time, as the economy went over a cliff and with it my savings, is that I felt better about buying this guitar than adding to my plummeting 401k.

Landmark guitar, and PRS seems to have no interest in ever reissuing it.

This is not, by the way, a 10-top. Despite the figuring, it was not what PRS considered a 10, back then.

Stunner!
 
All of them:

SE's:
Bernie Marsden - 1 of first 12 made
EG
SE Soapy 2
Rosewood Angelus

Cores:
1988 CE24
1992 CE24
1995 Cu24 AP Stoptail
2000 SC
2003 CU22 Standard
2004 McSoapy
2005 SC AP 20th Anni
2006 Cu24 AP
2007 Cu22 - Rosewood neck once owned by PRSH
2009 Core Mira
2010 HB1 SC

So I'm definitely old school... They still have a version of the CU24 and the CE24, but they are not AP's and not the same CE's.

For out of production I've got:

'02 CE 22
'10 Mira
'08 HB2 (without the piezo, so a smaller bridge block was still used. Weighs 4.5lbs!)
'12 NF3
'10 Special 22
'96 CE 24 Standard Stoptail
'12 Signature Limited

The only US PRS I've got that's still currently made is a '21 Silver Sky.

There's a pretty good list of out of production PRSs that I want to buy as they come available and I've got the funds. There's nothing in the current lineup that I want, though. Closest is an SSH Limited or WL (I want one with the 58/15 MTs).

I started keeping a spreadsheet of what I've got, when I got it, what I paid, and what I've sold things for. Of the seven I no longer have, only one is still in production ('21 CE 24).

Excellent list, and a window into what I was getting at.
Thing is that all of these are kickbutt guitars.
Amazing.
