Default NUGD holy grail

I fell in love with this one the moment I saw it and it was first posted for sale 7 months ago . If I was to order a Private Stock it would be identical. There is no production model like it . The "provenance" of this one makes it even more special:

This guitar was ordered in 2010 by Christie Woodard to be completed to celebrate 7 years with the company. Christie is the Director of HR at PRS Guitars and is a good friend of Northeast Music Center.

This guitar currently remains at PRS and upon purchase will be shipped from the PRS factory in Stevensville, Maryland.

The sound is flat out amazing , clean it is like a 335 on steroids due to the hotter pickups and the rodsewood neck just sparkles.

Add as much gain as you want , it's a Santana . .and it nails the infinite creamy sustain with little effort .

Despite the limited controls it is capable of a wide variety of tones.

I've been fortunate to play some outstanding instruments as a 41 year luthier, some of my colleagues have made some absolute masterpieces, I'll gladly put this against any of them .
