Reclaimed


A pair of reclaimed wood PRS models (limited release): The CE24 as seen here...



... & a Vela. Both in a semi-hollow format which is arguably a good variation.

Making guitars from reclaimed, old, obscure wood types is at best, hype. Many if us are unfamiliar with them & they have no proven records in the music industry. However, we trust luthiers to exercise their power of association in manifesting tone. Many undiscovered/lesser known wood types out there are very similar in properties when it comes to tonal association. The thing about these kinda wood is that it allows manufacturers to mark up prices citing exclusive materials as primary considerations. Have no idea what ti expect in terms of prices should they be made available here. Chances are, it's gonna be a little higher than the standard production version.
