Looking for new-to-mint PRS Swamp Ash Special. Need to know color, whether
gold hardware, birds and condition.

Good luck, man. I ordered one yesterday (finally picked my color and
decided to go birdless), and they can't even qive an ETA on them. I
suggest checking Washington Music Center. They have a big PRS
inventory, and I think they have some in stock (just not the way I
wanted it: grey-black with a stop tailpiece).

I talked to Brian Meader, and he was extremely cool to deal with. H
took the time to talk to em, and let me in on the production situation.
He even *almost* got me to accept Relics as coolish. :)

"Groovy Guitar" in New Jersey has one, last time is checked.
You can find their ad in Vintage Guitar magazine.

Must be an east coast thing. There's been a natural (blonde) one at Gelb
Music in Redwood City, CA for about 6 months. I thought it was a great
guitar but I hate the look of the routed hole in the middle for the
single coil. Makes it look like an 80's shred machine. Also, the blonde
doesn't look so cool next to the amazing gretch orange one (no offense
SFSTRAT).

None taken! :-)

Personally, I LOVE natural. My Ultra is, too.

It's not there anymore--I just bought it. Great guitar--I don't
mind the single-coil routing, but I wish they had made it a little
neater. The rough edges around the coil just aren't up to the
normal PRS standard of workmanship. But, I can live with a
small cosmetic flaw--this is the best sounding and playing guitar
I've ever owned!
