Members nesto Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Just bought a MINT JSX Head from a buddy of mine for 600$ Turns out, he sold the JSX head and 2 of his guitars to get 1 of the 2 known Neil Schon PRS guitars ever made. Says he's gonna get it signed by Neil Himself. Anyone heard of these 2 guitars that are out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I don't know of any specific Schon PRS model but I do recall pics of him playing one that was modded with a Floyd. EDiT: It looks like he had three of them. Two with Floyds and all three with Sustainers. http://www.nsblues.com/gear/ns_gearprs.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Karma1 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I've never heard about a Neil Schon PRS model, although it could exist. However, there is a music store in the town where I live called Bananas At Large, where Neil buys and sells a lot of his gear. Their website has a page devoted to that: http://www.bananasmusic.com/productlist.asp/searchstring_Neal-Schon Right now it's mostly amps, but from time to time they have some of his guitars in the store. I've seen from 6 to 10 of them in there at a time. I almost bought his red Fernandes Strat a few years ago but didn't have enough cash. I saw Neil there a few weeks ago at an event where his son Miles (who is also an awesome guitarist) was playing in a band, and Neil sat in with them playing his signature model Les Paul goldtop.

Members nesto Posted March 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Well my buddy did mention that his had a Floyd Rose, so it has got to be one of the 2 (obviously). This guy man.....makes me soooo envious. But then again he's a chiropractor in his 40's and I'm a paper salesman in my 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nesto Posted March 20, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'll be definitely playing on one of Neil Schon's 2 PRS's with Floyd Roses next time in Charleston, SC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members evh1984 Posted March 21, 2010 Members Share Posted March 21, 2010 Seems like ol' Neil is selling a lot of his stuff of late. Financial woes? Drug habit? Gambling problems? Let's start a rumor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clay sails Posted March 21, 2010 Members Share Posted March 21, 2010 Tell your boy *not* to get it signed by Schon. It will likely wreck some of the value. Better for him to get Schon to sign-off that it was actually the guitar he used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norcal_GIT_r Posted March 21, 2010 Members Share Posted March 21, 2010 These were custom made for Neil Schon. They were never offered as models.He sold these a few years ago. I think Bananas took care of selling them originally. I think he sold them because he got a Gibson deal but I'm not 100% on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
