How much is too much? Custom 24 stoptail

[bigbang]

I let a beat one go on evilbay awhile back. Very rough, nothing special about the top, and shipped with no case.

There's a clean 1994 10 top up for grabs. He's asking 3700. Seems a bit of stretch to me, but I've not seen a clean one from that era for sale, so maybe he's not far off???

I'm a player not a collector, so it would see club use. Are there collectors paying a premium for not so common combinations?

Thoughts?

That's pretty pricey. Goofy used prices during (and since) Covid. I bought a cherry '95 Custom 24 in 2019 for $1,900.

There are a few priced less than the one you are asking about on Reverb.

Stoptail Cu24‘s are hard to come by.
$3700 for one that’s going to be played hard seems too steep.
Keep hunting.

What he said. I would bet that guitar will sit unsold for a long time. Maybe make an offer?

I wouldn’t expect that much for me 2009 artist CU24...I would take it, but wouldn’t expect it.

Way overpriced.

Thats what i thought.

But when's the last time u saw a stock 24 stoptail? For sale. Not beat.

Bodia- u got me all excited. No stoptails there except for one that's been jacked over.

They’re ultra-hard to find.
And if you’re like me, a blocked trem is NOT the same and ain’t gonna do the thing.
Easiest PRS to find with 24 frets and a stoptail would be a Mira. KILLER guitars for sure (got one myself), but still, not the same.

The used prices have come WAY DOWN. Not everyone has gotten the memo.

BTW, if anyone see a Custom 24 in Leprechaun Tooth for sale, let me know.

Nice! Once the wings are fixed…

 

[Tony M.]

Price has dropped to $2,250.00
That's way more reasonable.

 

[bigbang]

Definitely. Waiting on info in the refret.

 

[AP515]

I found my "95 AP for way less. The $2,250 is better of course. At least it's in the ballpark of mine but mine was about 10 years ago so there is that.

Ap515 - Whoa, that's sweet

If I were in the market for a stoptail 24… I’d hold out for a KL1812.

I had one. IMO the Cu24 stoptail is better. The KL1812 is brighter, and less powerful. I put 59/09's in my Cu24 and just smile every time it peels the paint off the wall.

I Wish They Made Custom 24's With Fixed Bridges And A Fat Neck As A Regular Option. I Know I Am Not The Only Person Desiring Said Guitar.

I think it depends on the pups in the KL1812, I highly modified mine with the PTC Team's help, and this thing rips.

Mahogany vs Korina ONEs?

I was thinking more like Death in the Sandman books: Man, I got a pile of those in a trade back in the late 90’s, never could get into ‘em. I wonder if they’re worth anything?

If this is the one on reverb I was seeing it has Dragons which in my opinion add to its worth. Killer guitar.
