What's up with my SE 245

[MilenkoFett]

Greetings all.
I am new to the forums. I'm here to get any information that I can find regarding my SE245. I picked it up at a pawn shop for a great price...200 bucks. But it has this face skin. It a red monkey and the text says Hype: Hear No Evil. I just wanted to know if anyone knows the significance of it. Once I figure out how to post a pic I will.

I saw that too, but it's not the same. It's just Hype, and not a violent great ape. But thank you.

$200.00 is a great price for an SE series SC245.

Can we see some pics?

Once I have a couple more posts I can put a few up, but my profile pic is the 245 in question.

So I figured out the HYPE skin on my PRS. It's from a defunct branch of a record label. I can't find any artists from that label. The trademark for the image was only in effect for one year and was abandoned due to failure to respond to the US Trademark and Patent office. I guess my next question would be... Do I peel it off and polish it back to a standard black w maple binding or keep the skin?

I’d peel and polish.

Depends whether its a toneskin or not.

I'd try to find some ex-employees of Hype and sell it to them as a rare collectible -- a memento from their work life.

I’d peel and polish.
