Reclaimed glory


This one got me excited when it appeared at Davis a while back. It's not an extraordinary PRS model, top of the line affair but it's limited edition, definitely. PRS used reclaimed wood to get this one going backed by some amazing stories of how the wood was salvaged & what it used to be. These are not important to me. What's important was the fact that it's the first featuring a non-gloss neck. It's a different experience & it matters. The guitar is a light player, 2 things: 1) No gloss removed weight quite considerably from the instrument 2) It's semi-hollow. Despite these features, the guitar sings & note clarity is all present, it's something that I look for in default pickups. 


It's not for fussy owners as the reclaimed wood was used in its as-is condition. Mine has insect-bored holes in them & I'm absolutely fine with this considering its background. No sweat at all.


A quick re-string, 9.5s of course.
