DescriptionPAUL REED SMITH SET NECK GUITAR. 1985. SN: 5-0380 RARE WHITE. FIRST YEAR OF MANUFACTURE. ONLY 400 BUILT IN 1985. FROM MY PERSONAL PRS COLLECTION. Short of owning a “pre-factory” Paul Reed Smith, a SET NECK guitar from the first year of production, 1985, are among the most collectible of all PRS guitars. PRS purists may argue otherwise but within the historic parameters of factors determining the collectability value of a guitar, earliest pieces always carry a trump card. THE GUITAR. 1. All original. 2. Mahogany body and neck. 3. White Opaque Nitro Finish. 4. Brazilian Rosewood Fretboard. 5. PRS stock pickups. 6. “Moon” inlays. 7. PRS locking tuners. 8. Case appears to be original black but cannot guarantee that. CONDITION. Overall, this guitar is in VERY GOOD condition. The finish shows the usual scratches and dings that come from having been played. The frets are dimpled as shown in the photos. That is a mismatch with the rest of the guitar which actually shows much less signs of wear-maybe the player wore a surgical gown when he/she played it. And, to me the finish was starting to yellow a bit around the knobs and top curve of the body. Now, that is really cool. Can you imagine a PRS showing the signs of “vintage yellowing” of its finish?

Once buyer receives this guitar, she/he, has 48 hours to inspect it and report any problems or concerns to us.

Please look at my other listings for more guitars from my private collection of over 1,500 custom and vintage guitars. I only bought the best so I only sell the best.

About Us ABOUT TUNEYOURSOUND. Tune Your Sound Sound Your Tune Guitars make Sounds ! Guitar players make Tunes. But which guitar makes your Tune best?The beginning point in making a tune is You. The music in your head goes to your hands which form chords and notes. The end point is the Tune heard by those listening created by the Sounds of the instruments in between. Our job at TuneYourSound.com (TYS) is to fill in the middle. Or, in other words, "complete the chain". We are guitar players and collectors at TuneYourSound.com. Collectively we have personally owned and played over 1800 guitars. And we have seen guitar players play-from Jimi using his teeth to Jimmy using his bow. And now, we want to tell you what we have learned over the years and under the stages. First: There should be two primary guitars in your life. The one you start with (by choice or coincidence) and the one you finish with (once you find it, you'll know it and keep it). But of course, humans are acquisitive by nature, so we are prone to own more than we need-but a guitar player must have what he really needs. Two: Sometimes it's better for a guitar to be heard than seen and other times it's better for a guitar to be seen than heard. So, play it both ways. Buy a guitar that does both. Three: Avoid the hype. Especially now with the Internet overloading us with data. Buy a guitar that you trust from someone you trust. Four: Make it personal. Establish a relationship with your seller. That way you will never be disappointed-nor abandoned. After all, it is still about money-your money. And you deserve to get more than you give. At TuneYourSound.com, we have the answer!
