Hello,
After spending many hours contacting the Merchants, Duty and enviromental Authorities,
I have to decide between two Core standards. There are several Pro´s an Cons, and maybe some
of the expierienced Forum Folks can help me a bit to face decision.
After Calculation of all Costs including shipping, taxes and so on both guitarshave nearly the same price about 2600 US-Dollar. Its still a fair price here in Europe for US-Instruments.
The first one is a renewed 22 Standard from 2008 in Europe. The condition is excellent.
But owning already a 24 Custom Mc Carty and a 22 Singlecut , I generally prefer more the 24 Fretboard.
The second Con on the 22 Standard are the Pickups. Those are Dragon II, which are in my opinion gently said not the best in the PRS-Pickup Family.
That means, that I would definitely want to rechange them for other PRS Core Pickups or BKP´s. Including the fixture here in Europe it means
additional costs about 400-600 USD for me.
The 24 Standard is a limited wood library from 2014 from Japan. It has HFS Pick ups, which seem a good deal for me, cause I like to play a lot of aggressive Rock and Metal stuff.
The Con here is: On my request the Merchant has send me some photos.
According to him: "The scratch was not noticeable and it was difficult to take a picture.Because it is a dark color, it is actually inconspicuous."
Well, I thought I would post some pictures of boh Guitars. The 22 is surely photoshopped but the 24. I dont know..Just make your own opinion on the pictures.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
