2009 PRS Standard 22 Employee Satin Vinatge Mahagony

2009 PRS Standard 22 Employee Satin Vintage Mahogany Employee - a PRS made for a PRS company employee. This is not a production-line PRS and it cannot be ordered; sometimes factory workers sell their guitars, which is the only way to buy an Employee model. As you can understand, the workers get the best wood, all available options including those from Private Stock, etc., etc. This guitar is in a satin finish. The body and neck are made of figured selected solid mahogany (very beautiful selected wood grain), the fretboard is of selected Indian rosewood with Outline Abalone Birds - natural abalone birds along the edge. The guitar also features a stoptail bridge and nickel hardware. The neck profile is a custom thin one (!) - such a profile is not available for this model (wide thin). Pickups are the classics - Dragon 2 pickups with a three-way selector switch, push-pull for humbucker coil-splitting on the tone control, and a volume knob. Color: Vintage Mahogany. The guitar sounds open, the wood breathes and resonates perfectly. I really love wood without lacquer; a guitar with such a finish sounds somehow special, tasty, and possesses expensive tonal delicacies. The Standard has a very juicy low end and midrange, a sound with guts! Resilient, with a moderate attack. The guitar is definitely made and sounds better than production-line standards (I have tried about 10 of them), leaning towards Private Stock quality, yet I am selling it for pennies. The guitar is one of a kind in the world; the name of the person for whom the guitar was made is written on the back of the headstock, and there is also a Paul Reed Smith signature (confirmed by the documents). As for a guitar without lacquer, it has been preserved in good condition, there is some wear, but nothing brutal. Comes with the original case, documents, adjustment tools, and spare parts. Unfortunately, there is no analogue and there will not be; I will provide an example of how a regular standard sounds, or you can google it yourself. The guitar is located in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on high-quality tube equipment of your choice — Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl…. I will ship to any point in the world
