I love the moons. My first PRS was a older Singlecut SE with moons and I loved it. Why do you think they chose regular dots over moons? Moons on a Vela would probably be cooler than birds.

I am digging these changes. One thing that always bugs me on a PRS is plain-arse dots. Give me moons, or birds. Not white plastic dots that belong on a guitar with an F company on the headstock. I wish PRS would do white outline birds, that would be cool. the black outline birds on the CE24...

cool thanks let me look at the pickup wires and see. appreciate it!

Hey there - I scored a rare covered 59/09 on Reverb a while back and want to put this into my Korina McCarty. I opened her up and it appears the stock pickups are single wire with a braid around it. How does one go about swapping the bridge pup for one with 4 wires? Would I need to upgrade to...

Is Pattern Regular thick enough for you? I saw a fair number of Wood Library runs the year or two before they went all Pattern Thin. I remember because I love the thin and was disappointed seeing such a beauty of a guitar and that one spec not hitting for me. Here is one such example. I...

Thanks dude! It's funny I am a secret and fellow Custom 24 stoptail fanatic and I always loved that build you did! I do have a Tim Mahoney SE but the more the merrier! I just don't understand what PRS's hang-up is!

Anyone know what dealer was able to get a Custom 24 Stoptail WL run? I have now seen 2 from this run come up for sale but they didn't say what dealer (just that a dealer had ordered this run, I am guessing of 10). The reason being is it is quite interesting since I asked Brian's and Ish if...

The same thing is happening with the Tim Mahoney SE, although there seems to be way less of those. For years they were $4-500 used (perhaps the baby blue color is not for everyone) but then people realized they were pretty sweet and also rare and they go over over $1k now. I think the same...

This might be a hot take, but I absolutely hate the white plastic signature on the Wood library guitars. Nothing worse when my eyes are pouring over all the details, fine woods, and materials on a $6,000 guitar and I see that white plastic on the headstock instead of abalone or the metal...

I do see a lot of wood library custom 24's with Swamp ash - seems to be the "hot setup" the past few years. Not sure why - is it cool or trendy or tone is superior? It looks cool most of the time, although aesthetically I sometimes prefer the darker back color of natural mahogany backs, and...

yea these are super hard to come by and the prices are getting HIGH. I was lucky to find one used on Guitar Center's website of all places for $300!!! When I saw it I lost my dang mind - only had Gotoh locking tuners but stock otherwise. I was thinking of upgrading to US HFS/VB at some point...

Nice thoughts everyone. Thought that would be a fun discussion. I do lament just the white dots. I am not a fan of white plastic on a PRS (dots, white birds on CE) but that is just me - why not the moon inlays instead? That would be what I would change. I was just curious more than anything...

Has there ever been a Vela with the typical Core violin carve? I feel like the Private Stocks I have seen still have the S2 carve - I have no problem with that but as a secret Vela fan I always wondered how this would look. Would it be unreal amazing, or maybe not? Would PRS do this if you...

this seems like a cool project. I had an SE Singlecut that was inexpensive enough to try something like this. I ended up selling it because I only like the thin neck profiles.

How cool is this rare bird I found? https://nemusiccenter.com/2009-prs-guitars-custom-24-daves-guitars-limited-run-03-30-faded-purple-used/ Read the description - a limited run Dave's Guitars. Never seen a Cu24 with this type of bridge, and the purple was supposedly a mistake too. Wish a...
