PAUL REED SMITH SC-J THINLINE GUITAR
Extraordinary Flame Maple Top & Back!
Vintage Natural, Bigsby
EXCELLENT, LIKE-NEW CONDITION
SOLD
Here is a very special and gorgeous guitar - a Paul Reed Smith SC-J Thinline, with Bigsby, in PRS Vintage Natural finish!
This guitar has an extraordinary Flame Maple top & back - the finest we've seen on an SC-J Thinline! One would expect such Flame Maple on a PRS Private Stock guitar!
This SC-J Thinline has seen minimal, if any, play and is in excellent, like-new condition. The guitar has been well-maintained and kept in its original factory hardshell case, in a smoke-free guitar room.
Historically, the SC-J Thinline was only available from Paul Reed Smith through their build-to-order, Private Stock program. Typical cost is over $15,000.
However, in 2008, PRS built a special run of SC-J Thinline guitars, limited to a total world distribution of only 300 guitars. These guitars had a retail price of $8,000. While certainly not cheap, the price definitely reflected the "get-what-you-pay-for" quality of a such a PRS limited production guitar.
If you have not played a PRS SC-J Thinline, you are in for a real treat! The playability, tone, and balance of the instrument are incredible!
The Bigsby is an especially wonderful addition to the SC-J. It noticeably adds tone and sustain to the instrument, beyond those SC-J models with the fixed tailpiece. Even if you don't normally play a vibrato, you will very much appreciate the tone and sustain provided by the Bigsby.
Bigsby fans, prepare to enter guitar heaven!
I have owned and played a lot of guitars over the past 40+ years - including some very expensive, one-of-a-kind guitars. Without a doubt, the PRS SC-J Thinline with Bigsby is among the finest and is my all-time favorite hollowbody electric.
This particular PRS SC-J Thinline is, by far, the finest of all the SC-J Thinline guitars we have owned (and we've owned quite a few). We hate to sell this beauty, but we have to thin the herd and raise funds for our new studio.
