    How unusual is my black top Custom 22 w/ McCarty-style electronics?

    The PRS book has a listing for a Standard 22 Maple Top starting in 1998. One of the options was McCarty electronics, volume, tone , and 3 way toggle. The book also lists a Standard 24 Maple Top with the same options. Chrome plated locking tuners were listed as original equipment on these guitars.

    Hi to everyone!

    I think that’s an artist package guitar, very nice! If so, it should come with a leather artist case.

    Looking for a first PRS

    I would be cautious with this one. They list the condition as fair, meaning fully functional but showing signs of heavy use.

    Was there ever a Core Custom 22 Semi-Hollow?

    In the early to mid nineties, the Artist II and Artist III models had semi hollow as an option. Necks on the Artist II were wide fat, and either wide fat or wide thin on the Artist III. This is an Artist III semi hollow

    Original catalog card about says it all, semi-hollow was an option. I also like that back then, Paul would play each Artist guitar before it went out. My Artist 2 (not semi-hollow)

    Help determining value and models of several early PRS guitars

    I don't know how anybody could put a price on that goldtop until we know exactly what it is. To my knowledge the limited edition was the first and only PRS guitar with a TOM bridge until years later. What jazzedout surmised makes sense although it doesn't seem to me something PRS would do.

    NGD '94 CE

    Thanks Brado. Definitely royal blue as hand written out under treble p/u. No modcat in early years. I'll post up a p/u cavity pic when I get a little time after cleaning it up and new strings. I stand corrected, and I prefer the look of yours with the "binding". I wish my '93 custom had it.

    Beautiful example of a first year CE22! That may be a faded Dark Blue. Royal Blue guitars generally did not have the natural "binding".

    Help Identifying This PRS Please

    I think the color is Amber. Vintage yellow guitars generally have a red back and headstock. Beautiful guitar!
