Back to the Future Guitars

Re: One of the rarest you will find

My curiosity is that PRS is based in the New England area I thought. The story I know is the bird inlays he now does are a bird local to where the factory is and the fretboard mocks how it dives into the water.

They would have only been in business for a couple of years, and even then they would have been competing with the big dogs, and to get into a movie that ended up being timeless just makes me wonder.

That was hard negotiation skills of Clay Evans.
He was VP of PRS guitars from 1989-1991, but was business manager of the company from 87-89.

He is credited with the negotiation to include PRS guitars in the cafe and at Marty's home.

No back then PRS was based in Annapolis Md.

I knew him back then and trust me he would make you anything you wanted.

They are still in the Maryland area.

Re: One of the rarest you will find

Yeah but it would have had to begun in 87 or 88 right, shooting pre production stuff.

Probably xD! Maybe that scene in the future is one of the very last scene they shot though xD

Here is the PRS that hung in the Cafe 80's on the wall:

There are 2 PRS hang on the wall in the Cafe 80's. That PRS in the link but also the very same guitar that marty was playing in the "you're fired" scene xD

Ok.... What about this option since most don't want to drop $2,000+ on a PRS guitar.
There is a company that sells replica kits and you must order a minimum of six.
They have it marked $100-150 each but to call for current price.
A little blue accurate paint and maybe a few accurate accessories and this could be pretty darn good.
Maybe even possible to keep cost under $200.00.
The only issue is it would need to be a group effort of six.

you can pick up used PRS guitars for 6-800 if you look hard enuff - but they couldnt hold a candle to my esteban set !! LOL

Where are you lucky to be looking? Unless they are the "Santana" cheapo model, I've never seen one that low.
