THIS IS ONE OF THE FIRST ONES MADE! BORN ON NOVEMBER 1ST, 2007!
You are looking at a 2007 PRS 1980 West Street Limited Edition with a Vintage Cherry finish on a beautiful quilted Sapele top and a gorgeous Brazilian Rosewood fretboard! The West Street Limited is a faithful replica of the guitars Paul made in the original West Street shop with the addition of an exotic Sapele top. This guitar features a mahogany neck and back, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and an unplated brass tremolo bridge. The original headstock shape is decorated with an eagle inlay and an OM symbol on the truss rod cover. The dragon inlay design on the body is taken directly from some of Paul's first guitars. Think of this as kind of a "Pre-Santana". The guitar is a true work of art! She's plays, sounds and looks fantastic! No disappointments here... She's 100% original and ready to rock!

She was born on November 1st, 2007 and has been totally babied! This was a one-owner guitar and only played a few times gently in a smoke-free home.

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 huge!!

Whoever wins this auction is going to be completely STOKED!!
