Newer PRS Finish Type?
I got a 09 PRS in the shop with a finish chip on its side. Was wondering if anyone knows what kind of finish they use or what you have used as a good fix.
Thanks!

From the PRS website:
"6. What kind of finish does PRS use?
In our history, most of our instruments have been finished with a polyester basecoat and acrylic urethane topcoat. We feel acrylic urethane looks and feels the close to the old nitrocellulose finishes but avoided the issue of future finish checking. Several PRS models, including our Sunburst, Satin, Modern Eagles, and DGT models use a nitrocellulose finish in order to provide the classic feel and tone of vintage instruments.
In 2010, PRS Guitars introduced its new V12 finish. This finish was developed over 12 years, and it is intended as a midpoint between nitro and acrylic with a classic feel all its own. V12 is extremely thin to allow the guitar to resonate, but it is still incredibly durable with no risk of reacting to leather or guitar stands in a negative way."
GOOGLE is your friend. Try it next time. If more info is needed, do what the rest of us do and CALL or e-mail PRS.
