Thanks! I'll pass on the love to her I don't think those are part of an official run. We often get some unique pieces through my local dealer. Like my dark swampy colored custom 24, I've never seen that color anywhere else. Yes the Blue one is killer! I didn't have the cash when it showed up...

A/B'd that guitar against another 4 USA customs, I'm happy to report it's absolutely amazing! My custom 24 (the brown one I'm holding in the picture) was already quite present, bright and sustained particularly well when I bought it. This CU22 has the same sustain, slightly less low mids and...

That looks awesome! I didn't know they existed. I'll give that a try if I can get my hands on them locally (in Hong Kong), it will probably be a bit more subtle than the elastic bands.

Hi, here's my introduction. I'm Xavier, American + French nationality, currently living in Hong Kong working in the Identity Security sector. I took some classical guitar lessons at 8, dropped it because I wasn't learning anything I actually enjoyed listening to (big flaw in the musical...

Haha. Did you ever find a solution?

Hey all, I found this previous thread on the topic but id didn't have many pictures of actual solutions to the slippery knob issue: http://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/push-push-on-a-dgt.14040/page-2 Something about those fresh new knobs being quite stiff and slippery. I felt putting a rubber...

It's great that you live in an area where you have the luxury of trying guitars in your rig and returning them if necessary! I bought my first 2 Gibsons (SG Goddess & Les Paul Studio Satin) online without ever playing them before. It didn't seem shocking at the time, I lived in the south of...

Sorry about the small pix I am new at using photobucket I thought it would link to the larger ones. Need to learn to use the forum tools properly. Those are the originals, in actually pretty bright lighting (forgive the fingermarks, photos taken as soon as I brought it home the first time...

Had it on my QC leaflet! Posting the results in case anyone ever comes across this thread and is interested: CUM4F-HSI63_CC_N5-53 Model: Custom 22/24 Top Wood: Maple Frets: 24 Top Spec: Figured Maple Top Grade: Non-Ten Top Neck Wood: Mahogany Neck Carve: Pattern/Regular (Standard) Fingerboard...

So that's what that sticker on my case was... Thought it was specific to my retailer (and ugly) and threw it away :( . So weird that they put it on the outside. Will look under the pickups next time I change strings. Thanks a lot! :)

Thanks for the input! It was my closest guess as well but Black Gold Burst seemed a bit more yellow/orange online whereas mine is kinda green/brown, who knows maybe PRS got the mix wrong for the spray paint on that day haha :D

Hi Everyone, I'm new on the forum and since recently a happy owner of a 2016 PRS Custom 24. Before going to the store I watched a bunch of online reviews, pictures etc. and had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. Then I went there, tried about 7 PRS guitars back to back and fell in love with...
