Moons over birds......

Interesting.

The new PRS SE DGT comes in two finishes. The tobacco sunburst finish with flamed maple and bird inlays. That model is in stock at most retail locations.

The second finish is a gold top with moon inlays. That finish is sold out everywhere, and one retailer is estimating their queue is to the point that if you get in line now you will get one in November. Nine freaking months.

I guess I am not the only person who will not buy a guitar with bird inlays.

BTW - I am seeing a few selling used for about a $200 - $300 markup over the new selling price.
 
A nine month wait for a guitar made in Asia is crazy. I guess Cort just can’t build factories fast enough.

The SEs are made in Indonesia now. I don't think Cort are involved, but I'm not sure who is making them. Only that PRS basically have their own section of the factory with their own materials and QC.

Still built by Cort in a dedicated facility in Indonesia. At least that’s what they said in the 2022 factory tour.

There is a music store near me that’s has a huge PRS inventory. I was there last week thinking, if they had some non flamey, non bird guitars, I might get one. They had one satin finished guitar with moons that I would have considered, but the rest were too over the top for me.
