Provisionally sold: PRS Swamp Ash Special *price drop*
What's Hot
PRS Swamp Ash Special 1999. Now £1450 I'd take £1400 if anyone can collect it from Suffolk.
Beautiful Birdseye maple neck. Plays like a dream. Has the earlier sought after 'round edged' McCarty pickups.
3 way switch upgraded to a Freeway 6 way switch to allow lots of extra sounds (original switch included).
One bank is the usual bridge, bridge and neck, neck, and the other bank is bridge and middle, middle, and middle and neck, and then the push pull splits the coils which have had the DGT spec resistors added in to avoid the volume drop.
It is genuinely the most versatile PRS you will ever play capable of very stratty sounds but also typical double humbucker sounds as well and every combination between.
Only selling because I have another Swamp ash special in blue.
Trades:
PRS Custom 22.
PRS Silver Sky USA
Xotic XSC
Feel free to try me with anything else similar, especially PRS.
Based in Suffolk near Ipswich. Collection very much preferred but may be willing to travel or ship it if you arrange the courier.
Comes with original PRS hard case and hang tag.
Not a case Queen with some little dings here and there when you get up close but as you can see from the pictures nothing that looks awful once you're a meter from the guitar!
Pics!
UPDATE: A comment was made below about the neck/strings being slightly misaligned. This is a common easily resolved issue with bolt on guitars and it simply need the neck slackening off and tweaking over and retightening as detailed below. See the 'After' photos to see it's been resolved.

The slight misalignment looks worse in the pictures than in person and I suspect that as this is a bolt on neck that It simply needs the neck screws loosening and the neck nudging over and retightening. I've seen the same thing with other bolt on guitars after the neck has been removed during a set up and reinstalled. There is no problem with the guitar.
I'll have a proper look when I get a free evening but I'd be amazed if its anything more than needing a slight adjustment.

Just looking on YouTube there are many videos about this very thing and it's a common simple adjustment that needs making with bolt on neck guitars (even high end guitars).
TBH I'd have preferred it if @daisie_guitar could have private messaged me about it rather than put everyone off my listing when there's nothing wrong with the guitar.

There are multiple possible reason for a misalignment like that, could have been a shrunk neck pocket gripping it tightly (has happened to me!), or even worse, a sideways neck bow, which is very difficult to fix if possible at all. To me this was a huge red flag.
If noone else noticed it and let you know about it in a private message, then the added bonus of the public discussion is knowledge sharing within the community.
