Paul's Guitar USA Ten-Top purchased from Soundpure North Carolina one year ago. Basically sat in the case humidified for most of the past 10 months. Played a single indoor gig with this instrument.

Frets have almost no wear. Not a single weird spot on the instrument or buzzing. Just absolutely stunning fretwork. Action and relief set really nicely.

This Instrument looks absolutely great. It shines like crazy and I attached a video with sound clip.

10-top Paul's Guitar New is about $5900 from Chuck Levinson's for reference.
And I'm convinced it's more than just aesthetics and that more effort it put into these instruments compared to a standard USA. Call me superstitious.

Brass Thumbscrews have some scratching on bridge.
There may be some light scratches throughout the guitar, but nothing that I could visibly see on my camera.
Back of the neck isn't sticky because the gloss was taken down slightly with some steel wool.
If you like it sticky I can polish the neck back up to a shine for you.

Soundpure's description:

Historically, the Paul’s Guitar (like the Modern Eagle before it) has been a realization of Paul Reed Smith’s latest discoveries surrounding tone. Paul specified every appointment of this instrument from the wood selection and inlay design to the pickups. This revamped model represents Paul’s vision not only as a guitar maker but as a guitar player who needs versatile stage - and studio-ready gear that can achieve all the right tones. As a man who has every option available to him, Paul’s personal design choices include mahogany bodies with maple tops, Honduran rosewood fretboards, Nitrocellulose finishes, “Brushstroke” bird inlays, and narrow pickup bobbins. The Paul’s Guitar model also includes PRS’s TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) treble and bass pickups with two mini-toggle switches that allow players to put either or both pickups in either humbucking or single coil mode.

For 2024, PRS Guitars is updating the tuning machines on many of our Core guitars. While, aesthetically, our new Wing buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons all the way back in 1982. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note. The removal of the tuner’s locking feature on non-tremolo-equipped guitars further decreases their weight.
