NGD: PRS Wood Library Custom 24 Floyd Rose

[TedintheShed]

Well, once again Gearfest strikes again! The deals are just too good, and with the outstanding customer service you just can't beat them. Last Year I walked away with a Violet PRS Custom 24 Floyd Rose as a graduation gift for when my daughter gets her bachelor's degree. This year, I walked away with something...special.

This PRS Wood Library Custom 24 Floyd Rose has a satin finished quilted "10 top" Grey Black Fade, the hardware is smoked black chrome (something I've never seen on a PRS) and a solid rosewood neck. The fret board is ebony with Paua 2008 outline Bird inlays. The mahogany body is extremely light for that wood, and very, very resonant.

When Mr. Smith signed my guitar on the back of the head stock, he pulled a couple members of his staff over and said "look how beautiful the mahogany is on this guitar" and after they ogled it he handed the guitar back to me with a smiled and said "You are a lucky man.".

"Yes Mr. Smith, I am."

For now, all I have is the stock Sweetwater photos. Those are usually better than mine anyway.

Really can't stand Floyds, but DAMN SON. Good looking guitar from every angle that neck says "play me!"

Love those inlays on ebony, and I'm a huge fan of rosewood/ebony necks on PRS.

Nice dude, you beat me to that one by about an hour. I had talked to my Sweetwater rep about that one, got them talked down on the price by a lot and told him I’d call back after thinking about it. Called 2 hours later and it was gone lol. Sweet one though it worked out a bit better for me as a purple one with rosewood neck and ebony board just popped up that I’m about to snag!

Lovely specimen.

Been seeing this finish more and more and really digging it. Did they just start doing it, or just more?

Another WOW. Love that guitar!!! I’ve looked for a PRS Floyd to play for years and haven’t seen one. (Yes, I like Floyds and would LOVE one on a PRS! ).

And, you’re a genius... I never thought about buying myself a guitar when my daughter graduated from college. You PRS forum guys know ALL the tricks!
