PRS 2023 Custom 24 Gold Top

[jdag]

I am considering a used PRS 2023 Custom 24 Gold Top. I am looking to this board for advice as I've never seen a Gold Top Custom 24 before. I am not questioning legitimacy of the guitar. I am wondering if they are more common than I am thinking. Or, is this likely to have been a dealer custom order? Etc. Anything I might be missing? Thanks, John

They are out there. You don't see a huge number of them but they are not a super rare thing.

Yep, this.

I don’t see gold listed in the catalog so maybe for sure a rarer finish on that model https://eu.prsguitars.com/electrics/model/custom_24_2023

Looks beautiful to be fair although I’m not a gold top fan

So when does it arrive?

If it had a Pattern regular I would be a player on that one.
Love solid color PRS and a Gold Top is a bonus.

That is sweet! I sure have not seen many gold top 24s!! Seems like a fair price as well for a core in minty condition!!! Grab it ;~))

Thanks for the guidance, everyone. I am considering. I am only a home player, with little (zero) need for such a guitar, let alone 2. But I already have a LP Standard and would sell that if I were to get the PRS.

I am partial to them.

I have the last Santana retro in gold that left the factory unless you go PS, this was confirmed by Jack Gretz, who I ordered from. Many of the colors are off the board, the Craftman is correct. Colors that PRS is producing now are the most requested colors. It should be noted that mine took some time because PRS felt the ones that were made did not pass the quality standard. I did not mind waiting for quality. Jack is the best, what a great experience!

That is so gorgeous.

Like your cat too. My daughter has a ginger cat called Loki and he lives up to his name. I call him GT - Ginger Terror.

not a 2023 but much better pricing

2016 PRS Custom 24 Gold Top | Reverb

Up for sale is a gently used 2016 PRS Custom 24. Guitar has been seldomly played in the first few years of ownership and has been a case queen for the last two years. The finish still looks amazing but there are a few dings that I tried to capture in the pictures. The pickup rings were changed to...

Nice find on that 2016.

1 of the (many) things that appeals to me about the 2023 I mentioned above is that the seller happens to be local, ~25 min from me.

But I am 99% sure I am going to pass on it, at least at this time.

 

[Greywolf]

There will be one when you are ready .. or better still a gold top DGT ...

Here’s one like mine.
