Ebony top in Private Stock?

**themike** · 10-09-2012, 09:04 AM

I've noticed a lot of luthiers have been using more and more ebony as tops in private builds and I was wondering if PRS had ever done one? I can't recall ever seeing one.

Below is an example of ebony toped guitar:

To the best of my knowledge there has been one done Mike. It went to Japan IIRC.........

Markie has a badass P22 with an ebony back.

Wild West Guitars is having a way cool Ebony topped Hollow body PS guitar made. It should be done in a couple of months. During my last trip to the Wood Library there was some nice ebony available for tops, or backs.

Now THAT sounds like something unique! I gotta keep my eyes peeled.

That Tremonti PRS tour video posted the other day shows him drooling over an ebony top PS. It starts at about 5:26 in the video.
