Brent Rowan & Gary Grainger in the PRS booth

Info: Brent Rowan and Gary Grainger recording live tracks at AES in San Francisco. Rowan has appeared on over 10 thousand recordings which have sold over 150 million copies. Gary Grainger has done countless recordings, TV appearances and performances with such notable artists as John Scofield, Dennis Chambers, Nancy Wilson, Roger Daltrey, Rod Stewart, Nick Lowe, George Duke and Eric Marienthal. PRS guitars are nice.


NOTE **This is NOT a SAS. For one thing, the body isn't made of Swamp Ash. You can clearly see it has a Maple top. Most likely it's a McCarty Trem model with a SD pickup in the middle... kinda like a SAS. ***

Thanks for all the speculation though.

The 5-way blade switch is necessary for a 3 pickup guitar as 3-way toggle wouldn't allow you to use more than one pickup.

i've had swamp ash's .....they're BOLT ONs

no maple top. But, I must say never seen other PRS models with a middle single

[incubust]

The 12 string has a middle pickup and so does the PRS Studios. I still think this is a PS McCarty Trem w/ SAS appointments.

[incubust]

Not a SAS (Swamp Ash Special) boys and girls. I know this because of one fundamental reason: The body has a maple top. SAS's are made of Swamp Ash, not Maple. :)

Couldnt it be a private stock sas because it has the same configuration. I know you can use whattever wood you want on a private stock so couldnt they do that, just a little speculation

[incubust]

It's true. You can choose whatever wood you want in the Private Stock program, but if you make a guitar out of Maple and Mahogany, how can you say it is a SAS based guitar? So to modify on your comment, I would say it is a Private Stock McCarty with SAS treatments (pickups etc).

[writeitlefty]

Everyone can hear the original version with Rich Herring (Little River Band) playing acoustic and Brent Mason (guitar genius) playing lead. There are also lyrics there for people that have requested them. It all lives on my MySpace page and should be pretty ez to find. (billydavismusic)
