They won't sell a logo- too many fakes out there. Email a pic to their cs or contact their ptc and see what they'll do.

Not only am I digging the finish, but I'm also liking the new wrap around bridge! That logo on the headstock is classy!

Can't believe I forgot to mention, the high res pics weren't taken by me. They were taken by a friend of mine, Jason Kessenich. Here's a link to his website: http://aepoc.com/ There's links to his work there...talented guy.

The color I had him use a base to get an idea of what I was after was a Ford 2010 color called white platinum metallic tri-color. I had him use a smaller flake than the Ford color and combine with a blue cast & pearl clear coat. I told him to go from there and tweak to what he thought would be cool. He done a bunch of pearl white variations so I figured he'd have good judgement. Told him I wanted it to be more of a normal white in not bright lighting but then have the pearl and metallic look under bright lights so it would "pop" on stage...and not too over the top blingy looking. Essentially wanted it to change how it looked in different types of light.

I have a ford 150 platinum edition in that color, it looks great on the guitar and i think prs look great in white. your guitar came out awsome.

Wow that color is absolutely outstanding

Not sure what it would be to just do a body - best 2 just shoot him an email(in 1st post). Tell him I referred you please.

Looks amazing! I've been thinking of doing a similar blue over white effect on a Warmoth project I'm working on, and House of Kolor makes a paint with that effect. Dunno that I'll go a white type color though, but it's still in consideration!

Looks nice, even caught the effect on the pics, which is hard I think.

Hey that adjustable tailpiece you got there, is it a PRS one or a different brand? How did it affect the tone?

Yeah tough to catch the effect, gotta get the right angle or hit the light just right.
It's the PRS one. I haven't heard any negative side effects using from them. Paul prefers the 1 piece because it's solid he feels the tone and/or sustain are better, I've never tried to do an a/b test or anything. PRS has gone to the point of making the pole pieces on the bridge and the point string contacts on their tuners unplated brass because they believe it improves the tone - that's getting Eric Johnson picky
I have have them on all my gigging guitars cause I'm detuned and use 11-60 strings, so it's just something I need. Just my custom 22 which is tuned to Eb with a normal set of 11's has the 1 piece bridge.
