Might be different in the US. In Europe, there's not so many to choose from. Most dealers are just awaiting shipments (for months already) and buying one from the US or UK costs a fortune (25%+ more) due to customs and import taxes... Life's not fair! :D

The are currently very few core Custom 24-08s available in EU. Not the colors I want or seriously overpriced, compared to what I have ordered it for. Custom order would be the best as I could really pick every detail, but wouldn't it cost me 3 times more? :D And the waiting time, would it be...

I'm starting to understand this approach. As you are mentioning negotiations, would you please hint on what discount can one typically get for new items?

Oh my...that's terrible! I admire your patience. Hope you will be really rewarded when that day comes! :)

Hi 12manD, I was just wondering if you're enjoying your new guitar already...or the wait is not over yet. :)

Same for me, I emailed Thomann in Nov 2022 asking about the Custom 24-08 in Black gold burst and they replied "hey, we're expecting a batch of instruments in April, including this one" so I booked it. Since April, I always get all excited and ask how it looks and every month they push it to the...

I could understand this to a reasonable degree, but I have ordered the regular, standard, non-10-top Custom 24-08. Hope they'll find a spot in the production line for me. Soon. :)

I understand, my approach is the same...I wonder how long my patience will last. :D I wish you to be happy with what you get, fingers crossed!

Wow, you are waiting for more than 2 years?! That's crazy. You know, my expectation was that making a guitar is a known and predictable process, especially in a company with 40 years of history and experience. So when PRS plans the orders with their local dealers, I would expect they can miss...

I've ordered a non-10-top piece in Black gold burst (BW) color. They were expecting a shipment of ten 24-08 instruments (various colors) to arrive in April, but I think only one of them arrived so far (purple iris). I really like this color and can't find it elsewhere. I could perhaps go for...

I have ordered my guitar back in November 2022 (at Thomann.de) with delivery expected in April 2023. Since then, it's only slipping every month and now I have no clue when it's finally going to happen - the last postponement is from the beginning of August to November 2023. I want to understand...
