Who here would like to take a tour of the Paul Reed Smith factory in Annapolis?
I don't know if they charge for it, but if they do...or not...I have a proposal.
PRS will give away a defective guitar which has been cut into a couple of pieces, via bandsaw, if you take
the tour, and sometimes you don't even have to ask. But they have to have a bandsaw case on hand, of course,
which may or may not happen.
I want one of those. The challenge of reassembling one and making it look good really appeals to me.
But, PRS won't mail such an item. I know, I asked. You have to take the tour. I'm in Florida and not likely to
be in your part of the country at any time in the foreseeable future so I guess I can't take the tour.
If anyone here is near Annapolis and would like to take the PRS factory tour and pick up a bandsawed guitar for me,
I'd appreciate it and make it worth your time.
If there's any choice, I'd want a "standard" PRS double cutaway type, not one of their singlecuts, which I find to be
very unattractive....but I guess I could live with one of those, too. The challenge is the same. A nice flamed maple
top would be a serious bonus. I think I can piece it back together well enough that you'd have a hard time seeing the repairs.
Let me know if this interests you.
