Today at work, I had the treat of holding and admiring the PRS guitar pictured below. This is a Custom 22 Artist Package guitar with the beautiful quilted maple top. Not sure if this color is the Amber or Santana Yellow, but it sure is a thing of beauty. Gold-plated hardware, Paua bird fretboard inlays, locking tuners, rosewood headstock and fretboard. Really a beautiful instrument. Didn't get to play it, since it was during work hours, but at least I was able to snap a few quick photos.
It belongs to a fellow I work with who has been a prominent guitarist in the Albany NY area for about 20 years. He still gigs with his trio pretty much every weekend. He told me he's got about 50 guitars (hey, Spuds--a rival!! ), about half of which are Deans, because he has an endorsement deal with them. The rest are a mix of LP's, several Strats, 4 PRS's (this one he considers the nicest of the bunch), and a few others. He's also got a ton of amps, including 4 Marshalls, 2 Mesa Boogies, 2 high-end Fenders, 2 Madisons (never heard of them; located in CO), and a few more. Quite a bunch of gear!
