I recently picked up this 1995 Custom 24 a few weeks ago. When I got it I knew it had issues but that the bones were solid overall. I gave it a good setup and deep cleaning, etc. and it seems to be really great.
Some of the issues are:
- The 5 way rotary dial/ Some positions don't work very well (if at all), it cuts out intermittently. I was ultimately just expecting to swap to a 3 way toggle.
- At one point, a previous owner added a synth pickup. It is now long gone but the holes remain. Is there any way to fill these holes and make them disappear?
- The rest of the body looks rough, even after a few rounds of scratch remover, polish, etc. Some dents and dings are just too much.
- The frets need some work, I can see some dead spots.
- There are holes from a previous owner's decision to add some different tuners.
Overall, my question seems to be, is this guitar within the realm of saving at a decent cost? If I have to spend the cost of another PRS to fix this one, I may just leave it as is or try repairs myself.
