ONLY PLAYED FOR CELEBRITY PERFORMANCES AT THE 2010 DALLAS INTERNATIONAL GUITAR FESTIVAL!
You're looking at a 2010 PRS McCarty "Shootout" Tone Quest, Limited Edition, # 16 of only 50 made for last month's Dallas Show. This is an amazing axe, loaded with full and colorful Abalone birds, Nitro finish and the awesome 1957/2008 pickups! If you were one of the fortunate ones, who made it to last month's Dallas Guitar Festival, you probably saw this guitar on stage, as it was played over the weekend by various celebrity guests. PRS introduced this limited model at the 2010 NAMM show, with 6 pieces... Then they made this Edition of 50 guitars for this Dallas Show... each with "2010 Dallas International Guitar Festival xx/50" written on the back of the headstock. This one happens to be the very low # 16! You will not find these anywhere, as they all sold out at the show. I happen to have two of them; this one and also # 4 of the run. If you're looking for a unique and collectable piece, with a cool story behind it, this is the ticket right here! She's 100% original and ready for action!
Here's the lowdown on the features:
- Highly Figured Maple Flamed Top ~ Smokin!

She was born just one month ago, on April 9th, 2010, and (as mentioned above) has only been played during the DIGF by various celebrity performers. There are no nicks or dings to be found. There are merely a few very light scratches on the plastic back plate. Otherwise, the neck is straight with no cracks or repairs... The frets are perfect with their entire life ahead of them, and the sound is just awesome! Also included is the original and very cool PRS Paisely case (same as used for the Modern Eagle II's) and even includes all of the case candy and bird tag certificate! Whoever wins this sweet axe is is going to be completely STOKED!!
