Frequently Asked Questions

The Pattern Vintage neck is a bit thicker than a typical '59 Strat, but retains a similar feel with a comfortable rounded back.
It's a carefully applied finish designed to mimic the look of age and wear, not a true relic job; it’s a consistent aesthetic.
Limited editions from PRS often see increased value over time, but that's not guaranteed and depends on market trends.
