Ripped off from Guitar World article.
If you’ve shopped for a Paul Reed Smith Singlecut in the past year or so, you’ve undoubtedly been disappointed to learn that the guitar has been unavailable since 2004. PRS ceased production of the guitar—and of all its single-cutaway guitars, including the Mark Tremonti models—while it waited out a lengthy trademark infringement suit with Gibson Guitars. If the production holdup was bothersome to PRS, it was downright unbearable for the thousands of guitarists who were deprived of these most excellent instruments. Fortunately, the long wait is over, and PRS is once again manufacturing its single-cutaway models. Not surprisingly, the temporary unavailability of the guitars may have actually increased demand for them. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
