Not something to rejoice or despair but not unexpected. My concern had been focused on the employees v. the guitars as I have more to to play than I have time (at least for now).
Doubt if there will be more than a handful of "custom" orders due to the cost.
So, now we are going to have a diminishing supply (some damage, some will not be resold for a decade or more). I can't see a diminishing demand.
The OFC get-togethers, etc., drive some of the demand as someone can actually get a chance to play a textured top. |

However, the -2 reissue looks even better than the pictures!!
Workmanship was perfect. True reissue of the early ones in the late 70's.
Even if you aren't buying, check out Al's website...doesn't hurt to window shop. |

PS Audio PWT Perfect Wave Transport
Amazing concept and based on some other PS Audio products I own it should live up to the hype it has received (I have 30 days to decide if I am keeping it or not).
Anyway, I am busting my brain trying to figure out how to score one of these from Al before they all disappear. What a deal! |

Paul, I am a lot more generous than you. I'd be willing to turn over my full $20 monthly allowance, but I already offered it to someone else. |
