I'd be surprised if there was. There are plenty of guitar companies which incorporate some of the PRS design elements into their guitars. I doubt you'd get a fretboard with bird inlays though.Quote:

Pitbull used to have some PRS style kits although they've disappeared off the website. Although they didnt have a particularly deep top carve like a PRS. If they did bring it back and you wanted the birds you could always try out these stickers (https://www.inlaystickers.com/produc...s-fret-markers).
I do recall Pit Bull dipping their toe in the water with a semi-hollow PRS style guitar with over sized F holes and cross inlays on the neck, which maybe didn't sell so well. There are a heap of others out there though:
etc, you get the idea.
- Bolt on/Set neck
- Solid/Semi-hollow
- Different control configurations
- Basswood/Mahogany
- Maple/dark fretboard
- different inlay options
- Quilt/Flame/Spalt veneers
The basic PRS body shape is a popular one, so I would have thought some of the less unique designs might sell well. It might not be a straight swap for a LP, but it might fill the gap in sales the missing LPs have left behind. They have a similar appeal.
They have a pretty iconic body and head stock shape which is missing from the Pit Bull catalogue, which begged the question.
I agree. One of my favourite looking guitars. The headstock shape I like so much (significantly more than the fender headstocks) that I'm using it for my Thinline Tele build.
Our main supplier only offers the PRS-1TS and PRS-1S kits, which were very slow sellers. They were kinda-loosely-based-on a shape that was reminiscent of PRS.
I'm working with a new supplier who can make much more authentic PRS Style kits, whilst avoiding any trademark issues.
We should see these kit around June/July.
That sounds good. I'll keep my eye out for them.Quote:
