PRS / Collection 5 Tonare Grand Macassar Bearclaw European Spruce Near Mint / 2012 / Guitar

In 2011 PRS introduced their Collection Series guitars which were released in sets of one electric and one acoustic. These Collection series instruments cannot be ordered directly from PRS and are only available through select dealers, this also means that finding one "out in the wild" is a rare occasion! This stunning 2012 Tonare Grand boasts a Tonare Grand Acoustic 16” wide body and a whole host of exclusive features only available on Collection series instruments. All the tonewoods used are top grade and personally selected by none other than Paul Reed Smith himself. The top of this guitar was made using AAAA or quadruple-A grade European spruce with a magnificent tight grain. A perfect match for this top was found in solid Macassar Ebony for the back and sides with some truly striking figuring. The figured maple body bindings are offset beautifully with Pink Heart Abalone and black purflings. Another prominent detail of the body is the ebony/celtic cross rosette constructed using green select abalone and 14 karat gold. The neck has a comfortable wide neck carve with 45mm (1 3/4") at the nut and 56mm (2 3/16") at the ebony bridge which has ebony bridgepins with mammoth ivory inlays. Rather than using regular mahogany for the neck, PRS went with dark Peruvian Mahogany for this one. The African blackwood fingerboard has Paua heart abalone and ebony bindings and Collection Celtic Cross fingerboard inlays made of Paua heart, 14 karat gold and mammoth ivory. The finishing touches are a PRS Acoustic System pickup built into the guitar and stunning Gotoh tuners with ivoroid buttons. Now it goes without saying that all these magnificent materials form not only a great looking, but also superbly sounding instrument. The tonal character is full, wide, refined and powerful with all the delicate detail one could wish for right at your fingertips when needed. Condition of this instrument is Near Mint. Included with the sale is the original case which is a work of art on its own and a certificate of authenticity.   Specifications Body Shape: Tonare Grand Finish: Natural Body Material: Solid Macassar Ebony Top Material: Solid AAAA European Spruce Lefty No Body Details: Figured maple body bindings, paua heart abalone/black purfling, olletion hollow celtic cross inlays of pink heart abalone, 14 karat gold, and mammoth ivery with paua heart purfling Neck Material: Dark Peruvian Mahogany Neck Profile: C Wide Profile Fingerboard Material: African Blackwood Fingerboard Radius: 16” Neck Details: PRS hand written signature and mammoth ivory "Collection" headstock inlay with paua heart purfling, collection hollow celtic cross inlays of pink heart abalone, 14 karat gold, and mammoth ivery with paua heart pufrling Nutwidth: 45 mm - 1 3/4" Scale Length: 650 mm - 25 9/16" String spacing: 56 mm - 2 3/16" Bridge: Ebony Tuners: Gotoh w/ ivoroid buttons Pickup PRS Acoustic system Condition: Near Mint Cosmetic Condition: None Modifications/ Repairs: None Tech Notes: None Travels in: Original hardshell case Accessories: Certificate of authenticity

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
