    More valuable? 2012 Custom 24 10 top with Paul’s signature or 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top?

    Thanks again for the reply. I came of age during the 70s with Led Zep, ZZ Top, Peter Frampton style Marshall crunch and I play in a classic rock band, but we also play some 80s and grunge stuff and more modern music so a versatile guitar like the PRS comes in very handy. From what you've said...

    More valuable? 2012 Custom 24 10 top with Paul’s signature or 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top?

    Thanks so much to everyone for your help and guidance. I picked up the 2012 Charcoal Burst this evening. She sounded amazing at the seller's house and she sounds fantastic acoustically - I won't get to play her through my amp until tomorrow at the earliest. She's absolutely gorgeous and plays...

    More valuable? 2012 Custom 24 10 top with Paul’s signature or 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top?

    Thanks for this comment. I've been searching the web for 59/09, 85/15 comparisons and so far it seems most people prefer the brighter, more articulate 85/15 which also sounds a bit more scooped, over the 59/09 which apparently has more mids - some say the 59/09 is more of a metal pickup while...

    Had to do it

    Gorgeous guitar!

    And to further complicate things, a fellow selling another 30th Anniversary non-10 top Custom 24 finally responded to my many emails - this guitar is $600 less than the 10 top. :)

    More valuable? 2012 Custom 24 10 top with Paul’s signature or 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top?

    So the Anniversary models with the purfling and flight pattern inlays, those aren't any more valuable than the Core Custom 24s?

    More valuable? 2012 Custom 24 10 top with Paul’s signature or 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top?

    Thanks very much for all the replies. I guess I should've been more specific - the seller says it's got Paul's signature on the front of the headstock instead of the inlayed or painted signature logo. He says Paul sometimes signs guitars when a new finish comes out. Would this be more...

    Excellent idea! :) Is that your Black Gold Burst guitar in your avatar? That's the finish of one of the guitars! Jesse

    More valuable? 2012 Custom 24 10 top with Paul’s signature or 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top?

    I have a line on two different PRS Core Custom 24s, a 2012 10 top with Paul’s signature on the headstock in one of my favorite finishes, and a 2015 30th Anniversary non-10 top in a finish I’m gradually getting to like. Both are in near-mint condition although I’d say the 2012 is a little...

    2017 Custom 24 with pickup covers???

    Thanks for all the replies. Yes, the seller didn't really know what he has. He says he looked into it a bit more and believes the guitar has the USA Metal pickups on it. I looked at the photos and I don't see the characteristic '\m/' marks on the pickups covers but maybe PRS made them without...

    2017 Custom 24 with pickup covers???

    I'm going to have to pass. I asked if he could send me pictures of the underside of the pickups and he got upset and said 'I'm not taking the guitar apart!' Ah well .. it wasn't meant to be.

    Newer vs. Older Custom 24 Pickup Settings

    I've owned a few '90s Custom 24s (and one '86 PRS model) with the rotary pickup selector switch so I'm very familiar with and happy with the position - is it the 4th position? - that sounds like a Strat with the pickup selector switch in between the first and second (or second and third)...

    2017 Custom 24 with pickup covers???

    Thanks very much for those links. I notice in the newer guitar it has gold pickup screws like an uncovered newer 85/15, but this one has chrome screws. I do have a picture of the hang tag (not sure how to upload photos in this forum) but it's very small. For pickups they both say 85/15 but...

    2017 Custom 24 with pickup covers???

    Also, it looks in the photos that the pickup screws are chrome, not gold as I believe they're supposed to be. Does this means they're replacement pickups? I would love to ask the seller to remove the pickup covers but I doubt he would.

    2017 Custom 24 with pickup covers???

    I have a line on a beautiful 2017 Custom 24 that looks completely legit, with two-tone hardware, blade pickup selector, volume and tone knobs, etc. But it has nickel pickup covers. The seller says most top-end PRS guitars come with pickup covers but I know it's not that simple. It seems there...
