A rather rare beast, this one - not to be confused with the Swamp Ash Special. These were available for a very short time. As per PRS' press release:
"Like the acclaimed Studio model, the Swamp Ash Studio is an updated take on a traditional single-single-hum guitar with PRS’s proprietary 57/07 Narrowfield® pickups in the middle and bass positions in conjunction with a 57/08 humbucking bridge pickup. This pickup combination in conjunction with a 5-way blade pickup selector makes this guitar extremely versatile. The addition here of the swamp ash body helps provide clear bell-like highs, pronounced mids, and strong lows, and the bolt-on figured maple neck is lightly sealed for a natural, comfortable feel. The Stripped 58 and Swamp Ash Studio Limited Edition models will not be limited to a specific quantity, but to a limited order window (ending October 14)."
It has a Pattern Regular neck which is slimmer than I like but, more than anything, I've other similar guitars ahead of it. In excellent condition with some blemishes around the edge which I understand are lacquer faults rather than dings but barely noticeable.
Comes with original hard case, tags and case candy.

Mojo pickups Humbucker and P90 combo. Mahogany neck and body. Rosewood fretboard.
The neck is pretty chunky but not as big as, say, a Nik Huber Krautster II (loved it but the neck was just a little too big). The neck was originally an open pore acrylic finish but I felt it became a bit sticky, so sent it back to PJE to have it stripped and oiled. It feels great.

Super spec on this and hand built by Haydn Williams of Williams Guitars, a one-man show, who builds these from bare timbers (i.e. not a partscaster!).
- Birdseye maple neck and fretboard;
- Alder body with maple cap;
- Neck profile in the realms of PRS wide-fat;
- 25" scale length;
- 22-frets;
- 10-14" compound radius;
- Gotoh 510 bridge;
- Gotoh SG360 locking tuners;
- Fralin Vintage Hot pickups;
- 5-way selector;
- Neck master mini-toggle (switching below);
- Series/parallel mini-toggle (switching below).
There's no point pretending otherwise - this was a bit of a vanity project on my part, believing firmly I needed an S-type and that it should be a custom build, as it was bound to be a 'keeper'. Well, I've learned that no guitar fits that bill for me. Hence, I enjoy trades!This is pretty much immaculate and comes in a Hiscox Lite Flite hard case.

Made in China but far outperforms many guitars much more expensive. I sold this, having owned it before, and bought it back. In the interim period, I've become much more fond of fatter necks and this is just a touch too thin for me.
£350. Due to being a bolt-on neck, this is postable without a case at minimal cost.

GLWS my friend.
Rare PRS McCarty trem model, with 'wood library' woods, including a rosewood neck, satin figured maple 10-top, 58/15MT pickups with coil tap, etc. Absolute stunner of a guitar that comes with a black paisley 'Artist' case. Includes certificate of spec, case candy - but no swing tag.
£3,500.

However, as a veteran I could never have a guitar with "SAS" on the headstock.
I'd be called a 'Walt' for life.

Taken in trade, with the thought, 'well, I've never had a 335'. Itch scratched and just not for me.
In excellent condition with a couple of marks you can see in the headstock shot, just above the nut. Comes with case, certificate, etc. and the original nylon-saddled bridge (it has an upgrade one which is, I believe, TonePros).
£3,200.
