USED PAUL REED SMITH / 1995 ARTIST II Semi-Hollow #391 Indigo [05]

Rare model ARTIST II Semi-Hollow by Paul Reed Smith is now in stock.

ARTIST" was born in 1991 as a later model of the Signature series. The model in stock is "Artist II," the second model in the Artist series.
Only 500 pieces were produced during the production period from 1993 to 1995, and there are several different specifications of this model.

The ARTIST II in stock this time is one of the few semi-hollow models.
It is a semi-hollow model with no f-holes and is made in the chamber style, which makes the most of the beautiful wood grain that is the characteristic and the most attractive feature of the company.

The top of the body is made of the finest flame maple, and the back and neck are made of mahogany. Rosewood is used for the fingerboard and head top.
The ARTIST II also features maple purfling on the head top, truss rod, and fingerboard, making it the first model in the company's history to be built to this specification.

The pickups on this model are "DRAGON" pickups, while most of the other models have "ARTIST" pickups.
The "DRAGON" pickups are not the "DRAGON II" pickups often seen on PRS models, but the DRAGON pickups, the predecessor model, are rare and rarely seen on the market today.

The front pickup has "22.AS.WT" written inside the cavity, which stands for 22-fret, artist, wide-thin.
The rear pickup is marked "24.188", "INDIGO ART,SER,II", and 22FSWT, which stands for 24188, 22 frets, semi-hollow, and wide thin, the same as the serial number on the back of the head.

As for the neck, the upper part of the neck has been painted black from around the 3rd fret and the neck has been repaired. The original color remains under the pegs. It is likely that the serial number has been rewritten.

The guitar has some scratches and dents, but it has been checked and adjusted by a professional repair person after arrival, and is in good playing condition.

The ARTIST II is a page in the history of Paul Reed Smith.
It is also a rare example of the semi-hollow style that was used in the Limited Edition that existed before the ARTIST series.
