POON TOLEX!!!

This may or may not raise my blooz lawyer status around here (I'm hoping not) BUT, this tolex looks sweet:
Would anyone know how to get it aftermarket?
PS (for background info): I don't give a shit about PRS, or whether or not that amp sounds great/shit, the tolex is for another project.
I'm thinking in the context I wanna use it, any lame factor will be eliminated.
EDIT: If this belongs in DIY, that's cool. Wasn't sure where to put it....
...TWSS.

I have a Dunwich head in my future. Tom is knocking me up....something really special (which I'm not sure if I should be discussing in the open, I want to keep it on the down low and drop it like a megaton bomb later anyway).
But, the two would certainly compliment each other.

HAHA! Actually, I was looking at this pattern in a different colour (as google had led me to some dark, TGP-like place in the image search) and some dude had one, with a matching cab.
Lo and behold, what was on the floor in front of it.....a klone.
I will admit, I thought twice after that.

Lemmy would use a cab that was the same as his boots
Gets a pass from me....

Silver was a close second...it was first choice for a while. But, the rest of the colour scheme called for orange piping. That was when I was gonna use black tolex though, this changes things. There is a lot of detail and, I think, as you do, orange may be too much.
To break up the amount of detail I was gonna put a layer of plain black on the outside of the headshell, before partitioning the middle strip (which would be the poon dog tolex) with the piping.
Gonna hafta get some swatches together and see what works.
Also gonna hafta see what I can get my hands on. Hopefully PRS don't have this shit patented/copyrighted.
Not sure if there's gonna be room for a nice woodgrain panel...but...you got me thinking....
PRS can lick my jizz off their collective design team faces. I'll own all the poon in amp town soon.
Yeah, this one has been on my radar too. I dig it. Definitely a contender.

I like it! I'd use it if I had a project for it

it's very… well gothic… who would have though I'd like anything prs would make

On the other hand having a stack cover in it make force you to buy a pinstripe suite
