In collaboration with John Mayer, PRS officially releases information of the Private Stock Super Eagle II. Mayer has toured with this guitar with the Dead & Company for a few shows prior to the official release. I really like the "hemp green" color and love the flamed maple. I'm always a sucker for the flame maple. I'm not sure on the price tag though... $11,000 USD. A little rich for my blood and kind of puts me off in a way. Limited production run of 120 also. I've bene thinking of building a PRS Super Eagle inspired guitar by ordering a VIP hollow body to my specifications from Warmoth. Would be easy to customize to add split coil taps and they would route out the humbucker-minihumbucker-humbucker for you as well. Bolt on neck to 25.5" scale length too so it would be a strat-feel and similar string tension. Anyway.. here is the lowdown on the new Super Eagle II.
