Am I the only one just waking up to the fact that these exist?
Wildwood wood library ce 24's

These are hot!

Ooh, those red ones…

Forget which dealer it is but there are pink ones coming….. yum.

They are misleading. Not a wood library in the terms that PRS uses. These are dealer run CEs with quilt options, something that has been done in the past. They are nowhere near the level of quality that traditional wood library quilts have carried in the past. I wonder why, all of a sudden, a few dealers are using this term so loosely now. Next will be the S2 guitars that can be found quilted with ebony boards!

My understanding is that Wood Library runs are dealers choice…..they can choose plainer woods to keep costs down, or go whole hog. One isn’t less than the other, just different. Both true Wood Library runs.

I’m pretty sure we’ve seen WL tops ranging from base, 10-Top, Artist, to PS.

The Wood Library - What Is It?

Guitars often come through our production line and out of our doors labeled as “Wood Library” guitars. But what does it all mean!? In this post, we attack…

I think it’s been common for WL runs to slot in where the Artist-level used to be, so that is kind of the impression folks have.

I really want to love the CEs, but just just can’t get beyond the cost-cutting “features”.

I didn't know they made these. If they were made to the spec of the old ones, those would be killer to have.

Truthly, I don’t think there is even a quilt option that is below 10 top now. I have a feeling these are the quilts that didn’t make the 10 top grade. At least this dealer priced them same as a regular CE. So one can’t complain. Other dealers are asking $3k now for a CE…

Oh, my... they come equipped with 57/08 humbuckers, too!

 

[Palmguy]

They may be nice guitars but they aren’t WLs.

Wonderful pickups, and some of the tops are decent for sure... If only they came with nicer looking birds than those flat white plastic ones (I mean really, the SE line has nicer birds these days)

Why not?

Preach. Something that PRS hopefully fixes in the near future. No more white plastic. Give us core level birds or heck, even moons back! I think moons are great for bolt ons. The maple fretboards look great with the black bird outlines.

Right or wrong but I feel most of the bolt on and S2 line is wood that didnt make a higher grade. That's not a bad thing, it's efficient business and good for the consumer to get Maryland wood and process at a more affordable entry point.
