[DinoMikeSr]

I don’t find it all that pretty. I think it’s fairly ugly. I would like to try that pickup configuration though.

 

[Dexter Inferno]

Nice looking wood.
The rest - way too much of everything. Not unusual with the more pricy/exclusive PRS guitars though, to be honest.

 

[Flamencology]

Birds and moons don’t fuck.

 

[Chicken Man]

Not just a lawyer guitar, but for a lawyer who works in an especially ethically fraught area of the law. A lawyer-who-helps-set-up-offshore-accounts guitar.

 

[BlockInlay]

Way too PRSy

 

[bsman]

Y'all are nuts. That thing is beyond gorgeous - particularly for a PRS. No horrible green or blue or watermelon or whatever burst they normally apply, just some incredible woods...

 

[Aahzz]

I like it!

 

[wok]

I think it’s gorgeous

 

[wok]

Birds and moons don’t fuck.

tell that to all the seagulls that are nesting in my neighbourhood

 

[jelloman]

GEORGE!

 

[frunobulax]

Yes, please!

 

[dodgechargerfan]

That pic of the edge of the guitar is why burst finishes were invented.

I don’t like it much at all.

 

[baimun]

I knew when I sent this to TR that it was going to be polarizing. Most of you know how much I love Koa, and I would sell a kidney to get a Koa PRS Hollowbody…. That said, I would want regular PRS amber knobs, and I could do without the over-the-top ornate bindings and birds. I do love wood in wood inlays for fingerboards, but if I could afford a Private Stock, it would be a single bird at the 12th or something subtle like the Anniversary Birds. Gorgeous construction though.

 

[Monson]

If I were collecting Victorian furniture and custom-built Italian shotguns, and casually served my 50 year old scotch from a decanter, that might be a thing for me.

 

[Denverdave]

A spectacular guitar that encompasses almost everything I dislike in electric guitars in one instrument.

 

[Lerxst]

Perfect for my gig at that French Quarter whorehouse.

 

[Honkridge]

lolololl...no

 

[PunkKitty]

I like it... as furniture.

 

[mongooz]

there are similar ones on reverb, and all are in excess of $12,000
so......no, i don't think so, Tim.
