Time to fess up - I have a PRS Private Stock on order...

[Twinfan]

Ha ha - nice one Keith!

Yep, this is going to be my #1 live guitar when it arrives.  I love my Modern Eagle to death, but it's irreplaceable.  I only know of one of the same spec for sale in the UK, but it's not a blue one and I'm sure it wouldn't feel the same.  I can't even get the Private Stock team to build one to my spec as there are no more Brazilian Rosewood neck blanks, even if they could export it to the UK (which they can't).

Also, the split coil tones aren't the greatest they're a bit thin sounding.  Not that I use them much (I tend to use the middle position of both 'buckers instead) but it would be nice to have a better option.

The Sig Ltd can be replaced if required, plus it will have better sounding split coil tones.  Perfect for gigging, and that's what I'm buying it for.

I reckon the first ding might sting a bit, but after that it should wear in nicely  :lol:

Phew ..... for a minute there, as you've got a new super job and have said you were leaving YC/DC and possibly your other band, I thought you'd become the "stereotyped" PRS owner ( "investment lawyers and bankers who hang them on the wall")  :D :D

[Twinfan]

:lol:

Not a chance!  I'm hoping to continue with my current covers band  :)

"A bit" ?  :x  :lol:

yada yada, heard it all before ;) ;)

seriously though - congrats

[Twinfan]

I'm hoping this Sig Ltd will be an ME "+", but we'll see when it lands I guess!

[plastercaster]

Congratulations!

And I'm impressed that it'll be your number one- guitars are for playing, no matter how expensive

[Twinfan]

It took me a while to come to that position though, the first few gigs with me Modern Eagle were a touch nerve racking!

PRS collectors wouldn't touch it with a bargepole now, but I love the fact it's wearing in nicely  :lol:

Dave - given the numbers of them you have owned, I find it mildy ironic that you disassociate yourself from the negative term 'PRS collectors'

Anyway.
When's it ready?

[FELINEGUITARS]

Lets hope PRS dont get raided for illegal wood imports the way that Gibson have......

There is a lot of discussion of it over at Birds and Moons forum.

Unless PRS have been naughty over paperwork I can't see it happening

[Twinfan]

Ha ha!  I've never been a true PRS collector, other guitars yes.

The estimate I have at the moment is end Sept build complete, mid October delivery...

[Twinfan]

A quick update on my PS.  It's in build at the minute and nearing completion, it should be heading over here on the next UK shipment from the factory  :o  Rumour has it, it's the last PS Signature Limited to be built which is kinda cool.

Due to the shell inlays etc it'll take a little while to get though Fisheries and Customs on both the US and UK sides, but it should be landing in mid-October.

Just in time for a gig at the end of October - marvellous!

So #100/100, in theory?  :)

[Twinfan]

Not quite - the number got allocated when the original order was put in.  It'll be #37/100, but the last built...

It's a lovely colour Dave. I hope its a keeper for you.
