I have tried to show it but it is hard to see as it is not through the colour coat (see last pic). Frets and neck are excellent.
Comes with OHSC and paperwork. Weighs in at 3.55 Kg or 7lbs 13ozs
I am not especially looking for trades but a CS thinline tele might be of interest if it has the right spec ( not too reliced, medium C with biggish frets) or px towards a Collings Soco
Please note: As the guitar is in Northern Ireland, there is no additional VAT or import duty for buyers in the EU or GB

Comments
I had one of these for a year or two and they really are quite special indeed!
Here’s a typical Whale Blue PRS:
And a Faded Blue Jean:
The listing at Musicstreet is still up and it is Faded according to to them.
Let's call it a desirable limited edition of Faded blue jean.
I'm guessing it's a 2019/20 model? PRS themselves list Faded Blue Jean as "Faded Blue Binding & Back" on their 2020 colours list for Paul's Guitars, so they must have changed the scheme while I wasn't looking - how very dare they?!
Slightly confusingly, they also list the spec for FBJ on everything else (i.e. Artist packs, DGTs and any gloss nitro models) that year as "Natural Binding & Back" for FBJ as well, and presumably that would be the more typical double-stained version akin to a 90s pair of 501s... helpful eh?
Goes to show, there can be quite a big difference in appearance! I had a Sapphire Smokeburst that had no apparent dark burst on the edges and the 594 I just bought was listed as Charcoal but is actually Faded Whale Blue.
Let's face it, the biggest question is always: "BUT DOES IT HAVE THE TAGS?"

All this bumpage is making me reconsider.
I have three electric and the only reason this is for sale is that my current strategy does not allow for two from the same manufacturer.
That's a stunner ^
