You have my full approval :yesway:

if that purple one has the 57/08 pickups, those things sound phenomenal - I tried them out yesterday, wowza!

The lack of whoop whoop is, in fact, hurtful. These might warrant a pass, however.

The other thought was take that purple finish, and apply it to a 513 with all Rosewood neck. I will admit the 513 electronics facinate the shit out of me.
Won't that be a huge undertaking and cost mucho $$$? Not that you don't have that kind of money, just seems like it'd a be a whole lot spent for very little return

Whoops : mis-read that as you combining two seperate high end PRS's, not just a refinish on a different guitar :lol:

The purple one, definitely. The blue isn't quite fr00t enough, though - I've told you time and time again, you need this:



Tough to tell from that picture, but it even has the needed whoop-whoop factor. :yesway:

Hi, MFB, allow me to introduce you to Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee shits out $100 bills. :agreed:

I really like where he went with that finish. The bummer, is that everyone I have seen available in a store, didnt look that good or have the same level of clean fades and color distribution.

Read the last sentence my good chap :D "Not that you don't have the kind of money"

Trust me, I think kids in 3rd world countries who are rocking their old-as-hell Squire strats have heard of Lee's gear-whoring like some kind of myth like Bigfoot or Lochness.

hes not even tlaking refin. hes talking a rw-neck 513 in that finish, factory :lol:
Again, whole waking up/shouldn't try to talk guitars thing is kicking the shit out of me

I'll be back in like 4 hours so I can comprehend things correctly and make actual valid statements

Yeah, I was a little surprised when I googled it - this one isn't so bad:



but this looks awful:



This one is ok:



I think it really varies model by model, so if you want one of these you don't want to order it, but rather pick one our based on an actual photo.

This has a little more whoop whoop, Martin Music did a limited run of 25 Custom 24's with OFRs and they just started arriving (most of them sold as soon as pics have been posted) this past week. :)

If it had a rosewood neck I might have been tempted but the price is way steep for what it is, IMO. Nevertheless, still a sexy guitar.
