PRS SC-J THINLINE GUITAR
Bigsby, PRS Smoke Finish
EXCELLENT, LIKE-NEW CONDITION
SOLD
Here is a very special guitar - a Paul Reed Smith SC-J Thinline, with Bigsby, in rare PRS Smoke Finish!!!
The combination of the Flame Maple top & back, Smoke Finish, and Gold Hardware make this an exquisitely gorgeous guitar!
This SC-J Thinline has seen very little play and is in excellent, like-new condition. In fact, when you open the case, you are greeted with that brand-new guitar smell. The guitar has been well-maintained and kept in its original factory case, in a smoke-free guitar room. The only blemish is a very small (1/16") ding on the back, that escaped the camera's eye.
Historically, the SC-J Thinline was only available from Paul Reed Smith through their build-to-order, Private Stock program. Such a guitar typically cost well 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 of them all and is my all-time favorite hollowbody electric.
We love these PRS SC-J Thinline guitars so much, we own several of them. We hate to see this one go, but we have to thin the herd and raise funds for our new studio.
