2009 PRS SC-J Bigsby Natural Singlecut Jumbo Archtop SCJ Thinline Limited Edition

2009 PRS SC-J Bigsby Natural Singlecut Jumbo Archtop SCJ Thinline Limited Edition To say that this guitar is beautiful is an understatement. This is the MOST beautiful hollowbody I have ever seen and owned to date. Even my personal PRS Hollowbody went for a smoke break... The fantastic flame on both sides of the guitar is mesmerizing; in person, the guitar looks like a million dollars, and it sounds like two! But these are all emotions... now for the facts... The guitar was released in a limited edition of 300 units in various colors; this color is one of the rarest, while sunburst was common. The retail price of the guitar was $8000 — the original price tag is preserved on the document inside (included with the guitar). Currently, such a guitar costs about $5600-6000 in the USA without shipping http://www.ebay.com/itm/2009-PRS-SCJ-in-Vintage-Natural-with-Bigsby-/252342978110 The guitar is really large; it seemed to me that its diameter is even larger than my Gretsch White Falcon, but its weight is small for such a surface area. If I were to give it a name, it would definitely be Montserrat Caballé — a big woman with a velvet, unique, operatic, expensive voice! Specifications: Color: Vintage Amber Sunburst Body: Figured select-grade maple top and back, mahogany middle Neck: Mahogany, Wide Fat neck carve, 10" radius Scale length: 25.12" No. of frets: 22 Fingerboard: Macassar ebony Inlays: Gold MOP "New" birds, PRS signature Hardware: Gold Tailpiece: Bigsby Tuning machines: Grover Imperial Pickups: Archtop Treble and Bass Electronics: Volume, Tone, and 3-way toggle The mahogany neck with a Macassar ebony fretboard decides everything; those who know my custom shop model know it has the same neck, which is the best combination, in my opinion, for excellent attack and good sustain. The archtop pickups are veeery rare and sound quite versatile, so you can play not only jazz, blues, rockabilly, and rock-n-roll on this hollowbody, as usual, but also some rock and even alternative if you wish. I played on many of my tube heads: Marshall AFD100, Soldano Avenger Custom 100, DV Mark Triple 6, Mesa Boogie Nomad 100 EQ, Mesa Boogie Rect-O-Verb... everything sounds simply divine! All frequencies are balanced... the clean is crystal clear, deep, enveloping; I fell in love with the neck pickup sound. Regarding the exterior — the color combines perfectly with the gold hardware. The top is simply mesmerizing in its beauty, both on the front and back. All the guitar's details, as always, are polished to perfection; the unusual, expensive Grover Imperial tuning machines hold the tuning perfectly. The Bigsby itself is also perfect, even with active use — everything is precise, the tuning does not sag, everything sounds and resonates! Regarding the condition — the guitar is in perfect 5/5 condition. All documents, receipts, papers, original case, everything is included as from the factory. In conclusion, I will say that the guitar is of Private Stock quality and also has collectible value; it will appreciate in value every year. Believe me, it is worth its money and even more than 8k. This is how such a guitar sounds The guitar is located in Kyiv! You can listen to it on high-quality tube equipment of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl... I will ship anywhere in the world
