    New CU24, Ridge in lacquer on maple top

    Hi! Recently purchased a new cu24(2021 model). I immediately noticed a small ridge in the lacquer following the entire seam in the maple top. Not a big thing but noticeable when looking closely. I have a 2021 DGT and have also had several custom 24's and 594's in the past. I have never seen this...

    Thoughts on the new 594

    I have the same experience regarding the weight distribution. I have had two 594's where the center of mass made the guitar slide backwards when playing seated. Ended up trading them. I recently found a 2018 model at app.3.5 kg that feels perfect when playing seated.

    Buying my first PRS

    Thanks for all help, i will try to get the MODCAT and decode it. I am hoping they have made a mistake and it's actually mahogany. I don't want a brighter sounding guitar. Would mahogany make the guitar less expensive ?

    Buying my first PRS

    I am considering to buy my first PRS. The quality and workmanship seems outstanding. The actual guitar is a custom 24 30.th anniversary. However this guitar has Maple neck and Korina body. The dealer also claims the fretboard is brazilian rosewood. I can clearly see that the neck is Maple...
