OK, OK, my work computer clearly does not like my visiting this forum.

Photo of my Paul's 408 top. Yeah, I still think of it as 'his'.

So, eastern, european, firewood? What did Paul pick...

Here is the closest photo I have. I did read a while back that Paul's favorite top wood was Eastern Flame maple w/ a tight flame pattern.

To quote Jimmy Buffet, I haven't a clue. But, after seeing a number of Paul's former guitars, much like Donald Trump's wives, there are common traits. Amber stain, nice flame tops, stop tails, etc...

I have the one Paul played for part of 2012. I think it was a prototype for the new Paul's Guitar, as well maybe the Collection VI. He brought it to a PRS night last fall at Brian's Guitars in...

Pray tell, how did the story go? All i know is the ending :>)

Pernambuco with a coco (I think) fingerboard. An amazing sounding guitar with a cool history. A serious addition to my stable.

This one (the one on his leg) is waiting for me to pick up at my dealer after a successful negotiation that wrested it from Paul. I heard it played by both Paul and Nicky Moroch through a bunch of...

That set of quilts from Tim was certainly humbling.

Good show!
