The 58/15 pickups blended with the piezo give the most heavenly clean tone ever!

2013 408 in Whale Blue. Sad story with this one... This was the first PRS I got Rockshop to bring in specially for me and Matt phoned me to tell me it had arrived about 12 hours after my wife died of cancer. Not quite the phone call he expected (sorry Matt). And the emotional connection became too much, I couldn't keep it.

I think I recall you saying you girls encouraged you to get the Private Stock, flame neck one? That's really cool.

The guitar itself isn't, obviously. ;-)
