PRS Guitars is proud to announce a limited release of 100 Golden Eagle guitars modeled upon the very first maple top guitar Paul Smith ever built. This historic PRS instrument became Howard Leese's number one guitar for more than 15 years. And oddly enough, the maple top for this guitar actually came from a dresser drawer given to Paul by a friend. Howard and his guitar were recently featured on the cover of Vintage Guitar magazine, and the guitar itself was on display at NAMM. The limited run of Golden Eagle guitars are being built by the Private Stock team and each will have its own private stock number. Authentic features include an East Coast curly maple top with a filled in drawer hole like the original, a Santana type body shape modified like Howard's, old style mother of pearl birds with modified wings, Vintage Yellow/Amber stain that matches Howards guitar, high gloss nitro finish and a pre-factory Santana headstock shape among other details that carefully make this guitar a classic reproduction of the original. The case is even modeled after Howard’s case...a green flight case with a purple lining.
