One advantage of not being able to consider anything BRW I guess!
I know a guy who's overhead just drastically reduced, there must be something you could sell?
No wait! I think I just caught the fever! How's that West St. of yours doin'? No don't tell me! didn't I just get a new guitar?! but seriously..... how's it doin'?
All this talk of the Trem's, not for me, if I get one of these it would be with a Stoptail!
(Which is an option on this run.)

No, I didn't remember that! Funny, I assumed that was standard on all PRS bridges, and was one of the "Artist Tweaks" that has been incorporated into later models. Assumptions...
That's a great photo by the way!
Is it going to look like this?
Or this:
Or maybe this:
Except mine has the standard stoptail. BUT, I figure it was good enough for Paul.
