Just checked the PRS site, it is indeed a modern eagle.

Don't like the blue, or the flamed top, but i'm sure its a very nice guitar.

I can certainly see why Dave . :D

I just happen to love the colour blue - and those inlays on neck and headstock look 'just right' on that guitar. Almost a summer sky body - with birds flying back from a darker cloud  theme going on there. The 'whisp' on the headstock contributes to this rather 'arty' illusion.    The whole neck looks wonderfully oiled and close grained.  Clever how the blue also cosmetically 'blends' the gold knobs with the nickel pickups and tailpiece.. I like the simplicity of the controls and wraparound  tailpiece contrasted by the rich look of the neck.

Again, it looks very warm and inviting to play, because of the neck qualities.  :)

My goodness!

You must be seriously good in your job, TF!

Congrats!

Guess with one of these you can just sit and watch. Playing not necessary.

If you stopped smoking cigars, you could have the cash for one too  ;)

I love the McRosie to bits, it's my main guitar for Doppelganger (and 'DC backup).  The Modern Eagle is something else though - it's just got more of everything.  More clarity, more harmonics, more flame(!) - everything!

That is a SERIOUS guitar.

Too right Phil - it's incredible.  The neck is unbelievable - sooooooooooooo smooth and shiny but there's no finish on it!

Just checked the PRS site, it is indeed a modern eagle.

Just to confirm, this is one of the original Modern Eagles.  Soild Brazilian rosewood neck with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and one of the last couple of brand new ones for sale in the UK.  I've wanted one of these since I first saw one in the flesh, just after they came out.  With Braz no longer available, and almost impossible to import into the UK, I decided to bite the bullet and get my dream guitar while I can.  Lots of things are for sale in Seconds Out to fund it, plus I traded in my two Miras.

It's worth every last penny and I'm an incredibly fortunate guy to be able to own one.  I'd just like to say that I have an amazing and understanding wife, plus I must thank her for egging me on to buy it  :)
