You'll either love it or hate it, but this is going to stand out from the crowd.

Have a look at the fingerboard as well  ......  :o

The inlays (if it is an inlay) on the body and fingerboard are just horrendous.

But even ignoring those, it's far too much bling.  Although it is a nice piece of wood.

i really dislike that stain black, sand back and stain yellow look which seems to leave things with a sickly green tinge... luckily it doesnt look like that in the other photo so its possibly just the light.

Great piece of wood, but that body inlay does resemble a sticker.... a sticker on a PRS!!!

The wood is beautiful; the grain is wonderful but I don't really like the finish or the fingerboard.

i think it's a special edition, commemorating the launch of the corvette z06 .. which makes the gutiar even uglier
if you read the authenticy letter, it says the corvette logo is inlaid

with an ebony board and a blue finish however.. now that would be pretty

Whilst that is clearly a fine piece of wood/workmanship, I find the overall effect to be not at all pleasant. I think the colour is not doing it for me. That sticker looks naff. Maybe she looks better in real life-maybe the lighting is too much.

If you're gonna make a Corvette inspired guitar, do it like this:

ditch the inlay and i might consider it.. or, do the corvette logo inlay on the 12th, that would fly aswell

They're pretty rare and expensive. They came in blue and red with white or black and silver. Custom inlays and engraved pickups and back covers.

On the neck pickup it had the '283' logo and on the bridge pickup the 'fuel injection' logo. The circular Corvette logo was engraved in the chrome switch cover.
