Sold PRS Semi-Hollow Vela Reclaimed £1350

This is an I might change my mind listing. 
Very very rare - under 500 made. A bit of a PRS holy grail and the best vela ever made. For those who don’t like PRS, there’s no bling, it’s got a lovely feel from the wood, which is super super thin nitro. Superb Gretsch sounding pickups.
This is an utter fretboard bargain (as I’d like this to stay in the community). They sell for upto £2500 and I’m putting it here at what I paid a few years back.
To be aware- it’s been gigged and used. There’s some buckle rash and you can see some surface scratches to the top in the right light. The bridge pickup is a USA Starla, not the original Far Eastern. Sounds way better but the original owner had put a standard humbucker, which misses the point.

£1350 cleared funds. Postage at buyers cost. Collection welcome from Chatham, Kent. No trades, no offers.

    Thanks. It’s fair to say I’ve put it on well below market price

    As a fellow owner, I don't know whether to congratulate you on a successful sale or forewarn of seller's remorse?

    The figure of 600 worldwide was for all Reclaimed Series guitars. Both shapes. The exact production figures for each will have been determined by the order book.
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.
