Went to an event this morning at Chicago Music Exchange and met Mr. Paul Reed Smith

Was spit between two guitars so he was nice enough to help me figure out which one best fit the music I play. So I bought it and he signed the back of the headstock

Had my wife take pics of me and him but her cheap camera made me look flat

so I ain't postin those

:
The one I took home is referred to as "Paul's Guitar" because it's an exact duplicate of the one he himself plays. Very similar to the new 408 with slightly different pickups
But here's a few shots of the axe and the case it came in, NEVER have I seen a case like this before!!
