qballman Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Made by Custom guitar builder JR Guitars (I can't find a lot of info), it is a PRS copy, beautiful sunburst over flamed top, mahogany body, glued-in mahogany neck, but here is where it gets interesting. The neck is bound and has Gibson style Pearl Parallel Block Inlays. This also has real PRS Dragon II pickups. Has HSC. I am only looking for $600 obo, which is the cost of a Korean PRS and since it is a copy, though a USA made copy and from an unknown. You will not believe how it feels, sounds and plays. Please email me for pictures.[email protected] daytime[email protected] evenings/weekends
qballman Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 more info.......................Bridge strings thru like a Tele, but is in the style of a USA Hamer Sunburst model. It is also Gibson scale. Very light. The width of the neck at nut is very wide, almost like an acoustic, frets are medium Jumbo.

qballman Posted July 24, 2008 Author Posted July 24, 2008 Is there any info stating it's a USA guitar etc..?Very good question. If you could see the workmanship and hand made quality it would help. The guitar isn't perfect finish wise, the clear coat is a little sloppy and thin/bumpy in spots. The woods are all top quality and you can tell eveything was done by hand. It has real pearl inlay, all parts are top notch not cheap. Even has real PRS pickups. I have searched for this builder and can only find this if it is him:Wayne KAMP Jr Custom Guitars4806 E Michigan StIndianapolis, IN 46201-2914Phone: (317) 356-9445I tried the number and it is disconnected. I have spoke to a few people who have heard of him and his guitars saying the quality was great but that is about it. If anyone has any info please let us know. I got this from a fellow who bought it off ebay a few years ago. He said he knew it was USA but didn't have the proof as well.Maybe the PRS people had him snuffed out, because honestly this guitar is a great playing and sounding instrument. It's not a Korean or off shore copy. If someone can prove that it is I'd be relieved. The work done on the frets, fretboard, and parallel pearl block inlay is excellent. Please, if anyone has info on "JR Guitars", or "JR Custom Guitars" or "Wayne Kamp" please let me know.Or if someone can identify this as an import it would be greatly appreciated.Email me for bigger/better pictures.Sincerely,John
