NGD: PRS Collection V. That's it, game over.

[Ian Price]

I bet the guys in the shop get a hard on when you walk through the door thinking of the cash you might drop on a guitar :lol:

Maybe not anymore! I think once you've got your dream guitar it would be hard to find something to top it (and maybe hard to find the £s too)

I'm still not sure what my dream guitar is. Mabe I'll need to do a Dave style quest to figure it out (although my money would be on some sort of tele or strat)

Problem is Dave seems to have lots of dreams  :lol:

Next time it will probably be the wife's kidney up for sale  :lol:

[Ian Price]

Kidney? Are you suggesting a singular kidney?

[Johnny Mac]

I've not been in for a few weeks. I come back and Dave has bought another PRS. It looks stunning Dave. How much?

[richard]

You play pub gigs with that ? I'd be terrified to take it out of the house.

[Twinfan]

No pub for this one! One of my Private Stocks and a regular production PRS cover gig duties...

It's a moving target really though isn't it?

But I suppose there's no harm in dreaming!  :lol:

[Ian Price]

A moving target indeed.

A man can have many dreams in a lifetime.  :D

I still couldn't find now what the hell is a "pernambuco" neck
pernambuco is the name of a brazilian state
what you call "brazilian rosewood" is our "jacarandá-da-bahia" (and Bahia is the state that I live in)
does anyone know the species name of the pernambuco wood?

my favorite looking PRS is that Daniel John's old weird green custom 24
couldn't find out the exact finish name
I saw one on ebay a year ago and couldn't close the page for days

The ceaseless exploitation of brazilwood (caesalpinia echinata Lam., known in the bow business as Pernambuco wood) on the coast of Brazil between 1501 and 1857 was responsible not only for the name given to the land and its people. But it also was determining factor in the foundation of many population centers in colonial times, and consequently, in the genocide of indigenous nations who previously inhabit this land. The extractive economic model, based initially on cheap native labor and then later utilizing African slaves until the middle of the imperial period, was responsible for the enrichment of many European countries and a decisive factor in the devastation of immense tracts of Atlantic forest.The scarcity of historical and botanical information about brazilwood (also known as Pernambuco wood) has created an air of mystery concerning the original geographic distribution of this important species. The pioneer role which Pernambuco wood played in the Portuguese colonization of the new world also added to the mainly of the 16th and 17th century, contains data that, even today are difficult to prove scientifically.

The predatory exploration that brought this species to the brink of extinction has, without a doubt, been the main obstacle in precisely evaluating available historical and botanical information. This is an opportune moment, therefore, to present more precise information, in order to emphasize the degree to which this rare example of the Brazilian flora is threatened and to promote the need for its preservation. Several protective measure have already been taken, although in most cases these effort lack sufficient criteria which would guarantee these species survival in the natural population and effective conservation of its gene bank.

So have you got us a full team shot yet??????

I haven't got the space to get a decent shot of all my guitars, but here is "Team 408" - I absolutely love these pickups, and the guitars they're attached to!
