I was hitting some pawn shops searching for audio gear yesterday and this 2006 PRS Custom 24 followed me home! I wasn't really in the market for a new guitar but when the deal presents itself I had to jump.
First the good: One piece top!, Frets show little wear, that color!!!
Now the bad: The back has lots of buckle rash and a couple nice chunks taken out. The guitar was in BAD need of a proper set up. The wiggle stick is missing. She's not a 10
top but damn if I care, that top still looks amazing. And lastly it has the moon inlays not the birds. I like the moons but understandably the bird necks command more money.
They had this tagged at $1,300.00 which isn't a horrible price. I asked if they could do any better and the manager said to make an offer. I came in with what I thought was a silly low number of $800.00. He said sold!
I'm pretty good at setting up guitars and must say this one came out perfect!! She plays and sounds as nice as she looks.....hence the wear, the good ones tend to get played, a lot.
I used to own a 1990 Custom 24 with all the bells and whistles but sold it in a fit of stupidity in 1998. I'm glad to have another.
