Whats your favorite PRS/best of the herd??

It is very special: pernambuco.
THAT is special. Only in Paul et al’s minds could an endangered wood listed in CITES Appendix II and traditionally used for violin bows become a guitar neck.

Love it. How long have you had this one? And how did I not know about it or forget?

Since 2001(one owner, me), it originally was tortoise color but after more than a decade of use I had to get some work done, so while it was at the PTC I decided to refin to charcoal, it was only a couple hundred more than the work it needed so that worked out. Neck, weight, ergo profile, it's THE MOST comfortable gtr I've ever owned, and most versatile I own. I've also had the thing refretted by Gary Brawer, he did a stellar job, it plays so new right now I try not to bend notes as not to wear down the frets faster.:p
 
For me, it's my 1990 EG. I love the neck and the guitar is super resonant. I really dig the Rio Grande pickup set a previous owner installed. It's getting close to overdue for a fret dressing, but otherwise no current issues. I just worry about the neck pocket cracking as the wood is so thin there and the super-thin neck plate they used on the Series I has warped inward on the corners a bit.
 
I don't think I'll ever be able to do the finish justice with pictures but I keep trying!

Here's a video of it in action. It's just a phone recording but at the 2:25 mark I go a bit crazy on the tremolo and it holds tune beautifully.

Lively thread!

Here’s one of the favorites in my stable. Photos are from it’s time during production.

In real life (What happens in Stevensville is fantasy):

Look at this guitar upside down and you’ll see a goofy Yeti-Sasquatch with arms by the side relieving himself into the f-hole, staring right at you for invasion of privacy. I am grateful it only appears upside down.
You're getting a lot of love over this axe .................. and it's well deserved, it'd be my fav too.
