Control cavity back plate autographed by Paul Reed Smith, dated November 1989. In 1989, the planned three hundred piece run of highly figured cedar/redwood top guitars was ended by the fact that much of the set-aside timber had split through the stringent drying process. Consequently, only a small number were released
