For the real PRS collectors out there, here is a unicorn if there was ever one! This is an "award series" number 2 out of 20 from 1990 custom 24. It is so rare it even had PRS stumped! But here's what I know about it:

  • looks like a limited edition from that same time period with a gold tune o matic bridge
  • maple neck! serial number is unorthodox as it starts with a 7, as that is usually seen on CE models at the time, but I believe now means "maple neck"
  • moon inlays
  • most likely Brazlilian Rosewood fretboard but can't be 100 percent 
  • chambered mahogany body
  • five way rotary switch
  • tone knob instead of sweet switch
  • flame maple top (can't be 100 percent as the limited editions used all kinds of top woods)? 
  • limited edition pickups
  • PRS hand signed headstock logo (just like the limited editions)
  • most likely a small run to dealers for superior sales, and honestly it appears to be a one off run 
  • final check was done by John Ingram!
So there were around 300 limited edition models made during that time period, there were only 20 of these! And I haven't seen another one.

The guitar is in excellent condition and you may find a blemish here or there but it will be hard. Frets are 100 percent.
Weighs 7 lbs. 6 oz.
It plays and sounds KILLER, setup with NYXL 10-46BT right now and I can't believe how good it sounds.

If you want one of the rarest PRS guitars from the Virginia Ave. factory this is it!
