Hi,

I got the information that PRS is going to start a high level acoustic line.

I am wondering if anyone has more informations (or pics!)?

Best,
Martin

Should be interesting!
I've never heard an acoustic with 1/4" of plastic finish on it!

They hired Dana Bougeois as a consultant years ago to start up acoustics ... it never went anywhere.

Tony,


I am in contact with a person who is right now working with PRS on this new line and they just finished the part they were working on together recently - I don?t think it?s the old story.


I don?t want to name the part because then it is obvious who informed me - up to now I didn?t realise that it might not made public yet: I cannot find anything about this trying google and I did NOT get this information as confidential. I don?t want to generate problems for the person (no OLF member) who talked to me, but it seems to me for real from what I learned.


Best regards from Germany,


Martin

maybe there is no wood needed for the b+s and they install the top directly to the finish?
