I would post this over at Birds and Moons but they haven't activated my account yet and I know there is a lot of spill over between here and there, so I'm hoping some of you guys can help me out.
When I was 15 years old, I walked into Sam Ash in Manhattan and eyed the most beautiful guitar I had ever seen. It was a PRS CU24 with a gorgeous yellow/black burst color. Unfortunately, soon after that day I fell down the Gibson rabbit hole for a long time and never purchased a PRS guitar. I always promised myself when I was going to buy a PRS I would buy one in that color I spotted nearly 15 years ago.
Fast forward to now and I want a DGT. I've been scouring every website, looking at countless DGTs for sale, and I cannot seem to ever find the one I'm looking for. Furthermore, I can't find the color on the PRS website at all.
Here is the burst in question...
Peter from Opeth
A McCarty currently being sold in the Emporium
The gentleman who is selling the McCarty above described this color as "Blackburst" but every Blackburst I have seen on PRS's website looks nothing like this. They tend be more Black and Orange than the Black and Yellow examples above.
So my questions...
1. Is this a Blackburst color option that PRS just doesn't make any more?
2. Could I order a DGT in this color?
3. If I can order a DGT in this color will it be a substantial upcharge? ($500+)
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
