Nice axe.

Artie

But its still not as nice as your avatar!

Wow! Nice! You're gonna love that thing! Every couple of years, there's a new color that becomes real popular. Around 2000, it was shades of silver. In the past few years, it's been shades of blue. Now, it seems that the 'color of the year' is shades of rootbeer. I love that color! I love my McCarties. I'm really gassing for a Les Paul Std in flamed rootbeer. I like the 2 tone nickel/gold on yours!

How much, if you don't mind me asking?

Another thing....don't be afraid to play it. You bought it, so make it your number one and use it proudly. Such a shame to see people thinking about the money spent, then saving the guitar for a presentation piece. Be careful with it, and play the heck out of it.

I fully intend on putting this thing through its paces. I'm gonna really enjoy doing it to. As for the finish color...............it's 'Tortoise Shell'. It looks abit darker in the photo than it will in person I would imagine. So, it's not quite as cool as a 'faded rootbeer' finish, but it should still be damn nice.

Schweet!!!!!!

Very nice indeed!!

Thanks all!! Hopefully she turns out to play as nice as she looks. Here's a few more pics.

HOLY CRAP,. which WOOD is in the Neck? Jacarandá?

It's Indian Rosewood. I've never played a guitar with an IRW neck, but I think I'm gonna like it.

I'd say it's the kissing cousin of mine. You will enjoy that IRW neck. I know I'm about to sell mine, but that neck just keeps calling me saying quot;Don't sell me!quot;

Haha! Beautiful guitar. That tortoise shell color is a classic. Lots of private stock PRSi are ordered with that color.

I envy you, you are now on my super bastard list Play her a lot, make clips, enjoy the hell out of it.

enjoy and play in good health .. it's really gorgeous .. i am sure she'll feel and sound as good as she looks

i only live about 30 minutes drive frmo chuck levin's i could go get her for ya and keep her here if you wanna come get her in person .. bring the girl from your avatar

cheers
t4d

Awesome guitar!!!

Wow... Congradulations! Play the living hell out of her.

My problem is there are multiple types of Rosewoods that are classified as Brazilian and Jacaranda is one of them ... from what writings I've looked at I can't tell if Jacaranda is Dalbergia Nigra or not. But if it is and the BLE stands for Brazilian Limited Edition, then the fretboard would be Jacaranda or Brazilian Rosewood

Sorry for the overspill.Oh and that's a really nice guitar

Thanks and yeah, the fretboard is Brazillian Rosewood.

I'll try to have a tone report and some clips up as soon as I can get my chubby hands on the guitar.

As is the headstock overlay. And the inlays on the headstock, signature and the word Brazillian, is done up in some awesome paua shell. The brazllian lettering is kinda green.

Then there's the birds. They're all paua as well.

When only the best will do, PRS BLE!
