02 amber custom 24 finish issue cutaway horn becoming cloudy

[truetoprssince89]

Any body ever had "cloudy finish" issues with a PRS, I have been playing these guys since '89 never had an issue with finishes. Issue is on a custom I recently purchased , its a 2002 custom 24 all original in mint condition other than the horn clouding , which has slowly happened over the past few years per the original owner, issue was how I got the guitar at such a great deal , I can live with it but figured it was worth a try to see if anyone else has felt this pain before.

Nope. 40+ PRS’s and have never experienced anything like it. Lucky so far?

I’ve rolled through more than 40 PRS guitars, from an ‘89 CE to the 2020 Exp MEV. I’ve had one with some clouding. There are some older threads on near about it, and it comes up every once in awhile. I seem to recall it being more of an issue in humid areas. Also, may be attributed to moisture trapped under the clear coat.

Someone who knows more, please chime in!
