Pete was never afraid of trying his hand at unusual and distinctive reworks of classic shapes and this PRS-style guitar with custom paintwork is a fantastic example - a true one off. It may be a bit "out-there" for some people's tastes (mine included), but you can't argue with the originality and the flamboyance of the piece. Apart from the paint job the rest looks fairly standard - rosewood fingerboard, wilkinson humbuckers and a Gibson-style tune-o-matic bridge. Definitely a collectable piece, whatever you may think of it. Date-wise i'm not exactly sure where it would fit in without seeing the headstock, but my guess is this is a more recent piece given the condition - within the last 10-15 years.
