Where can one find/purchase the exotic wood SE 277s?

I'm particularly interested in a Spalted Maple or a Zebrawood one, but I don't see them for sale anywhere in the US or online. What's the deal?

Thanks

They were a Europe-only run.

OK. That's fine, I'll chase one down from over there even if it's a used one.

Any idea how many of each were made?

I'm not sure PRS ever declared the numbers...

There are still a few kicking about at retail though and they pop up secondhand all the time so as long as you find a seller willing to deal with the CITES malarkey then it should be no problem to get one.

I had an ebony-topped 277 for a while, was a nice guitar.
