You Are The Newest PRS Signature Artist - Let's Talk!

[Alnus Rubra]

As the least likely PRS Signature Artist I’ll get my coat!

 

[Steve's addiction]

I would have them spec out my 89 ce top to bottom. Use the same woods and hardware, electronics, and make sure the action is the same as current action (super low almost buzzing). I would like the phase 3 tuners unless it somehow affects the sound. It would be 100% Maryland made, not like the current one. Should also come with 9's instead of 10's.

As the only new PRS Signature Artist with an SE… don’t smell me, because I’m filthy stinking rich!

Darn.

My dog will be disappointed.

"You don't have a dog."

"I have a dog costume."

You were in Warrant???

"You don't have a dog."

How much you want for that dog costume?

You can’t prove that.

I'll see what they're going for on Perverb and get back to you.

Good topic, I'll play. But, instead of limiting the game to what's sure to be well-represented here - the more exotic . . . I'd add another category, something much more basic - S2 but nicer:
Standard S2 shape in solid mahogany with grain at least as striking as my Cherry Bomb.
58/15 LT tuned pups with Core level electronics throughout.
True Vintage (that would be the catalog name) custom locking tunners that look identical to the current vintage tuners, except they lock from the back side. Now, you've got a guitar head that looks vintage from top and sides.
Ebony fretboard and stainless steel frets.
And finally, made on the Core side, with absolute quality control that guarantees 100% built to spec. I'm picky when spending my hard-earned money, so if this special guitar is being sold to the public under my name (it's Brado) it's gotta be perfect out of the box all the time. So, the bridge saddle radius would match perfectly with the neck radius. Nuts would be cut and filed by machine with tight QC measures so each and every nut height is exact.

Nothing fancy, just a very well-built guitar made for the working musician who takes it out frequently to gig - - - or the bedroom enthusiast. Just anyone who wants top quality, but not just as highly priced as the rest of the top models.

It is your signature guitar, have it your way. Thanks for the thread compliments. I try not to pick bad things to talk about.

I'm exceptionally greedy, so I'd need at least an initial three versions of my own take on the SS:

1) lightweight alder body in a three-tone sunburst, a bolt-on birds eye maple neck with "veneer" dark rosewood board, and three single coils on an ivory-coloured laminated pickguard. 10-inch radius on the fingerboard, and 6105 fretwire for the 22 frets.

2) As number 1 above, but with a lowish-output splittable humbucker in the bridge position to go with the remaining two s/c pickups.

3) lightweight figured ash body in a two-tone sunburst, a bolt-on solid birds eye maple neck (w/dark skunk stripe), and three single coils on a white single-ply guard. 10-inch radius, and 6105 fretwire for the 22 frets.


Headstock back to the "right" way up, and unpainted, i.e. just clear nitro. More varied colour options turning up each year, of course.....

and have it artificially made in ‘89 - that was some year.

1689.

Might as well have Stradivari make it.

You could probably turn a profit off that!

That'd be killer. Mostly, I'd just want one of each, lol.

Maybe every couple of years offer some variations. Different pickups, colors, configurations....

I do see it as a valid production model with potential.

 

[GuitarJammin]

SC250
57/08 Neck and bridge
Korina neck and Body
