Ordering a cu24 specd like a Holcomb Core Model

[MikeK]

Hey guys, I am looking to do an extended scale guitar, really I love the specs on the Holcomb limited edition core model and want a CU24 with a 25.5’ scale and 20” fretboard radius. Unfortunately I am too late to the party on the limited run 2015 model and I can’t bring myself to buy the SE model. I own several core models and it’s too hard to go back. My question is, would building a guitar with the specs above and satin finish with the holcomb pickups run into private stock territory or can they be an upgraded cost on a special order core model? Any PRS employees with some thoughts? Any extended scale models being produced for the experience maybe that might be close to what I am looking for?

If it’s not currently in production, Private Stock is your only option... unless something used comes along.

Have you tried Holcomb se? You might be surprised.

I did but really like the carve top on a core model.
