That's a pricey one! I wonder who it was built for.

I think that it was for Billy Gibbons.

 

[GuitarT]

Yes, I believe it for Billy Gibbons too.

$175,000.00 but he's willing to take offers.

 

[mrfiftyfour]

Yeah, I thought of Gibbons as well.
The guy has a warehouse full of guitars, why wouldn't he just keep it?
I would love to get the backstory on this guitar.

I find that unlikely. When has BG ever played a guitar with scalloped frets, and no tone knob?

He’s been known to run lots of guitars with just a bridge pickup and a volume pot.

Just right click the image on Reverb and select "copy image" then paste it here.

And I don’t think the fretboard is scalloped....if you look real close,it looks like the paint on the fretboard runs right up onto the frets,with just the playing surface cleaned of paint.
Gibbons also had a couple white custom explorers in the 80’s...One with a single humbucker and white painted fretboard,and the other was the one covered in white fake fur....remember that one from the video where he spins it around on the strap pin that’s cantered in the back of the guitar?

I'm not sure about those scalloped frets, or even if they're on that guitar, but the dude has a warehouse full of guitars.
Are you so sure about what he has and hasn't played?

 

[mrfiftyfour]

Excellent detective work!

Need to use a gif for these. lol.

Before assuming things you should check the facts first. I have seen that guitar several times and being a bit of a PRS fan boy I can tell you that was indeed a one of a kind made for Billy Gibbons. Billy has had thousands of guitars over the years and a lot of them one of a kind custom builds. He's got worse GAS than any of use, rumor has it Mr. Gibbons may even have an original Gibson Moderne in his collection, but that's a whole other can of worms!
