I was cruising Reverb and stumbled upon this....... very tempting

[gush]

That is cool but I'm surprised it has 5909 pickups

 

[sergiodeblanc]

These are so dope! I like this run a little better than the GC “Throwback” that came out.

The one thing that’s a little weird is the divot around the sweet switch.... it’s so precise and sharp looking in comparison to the originals.

 

[RedGuitars]

Throwback & Tribute? I didn’t know there were two separate runs.

And no sweet switch washer.

Yes so was I. I love the 59/09 pickups but thought 85/15 would be more appropriate for a throwback. But in the end I’d be fine with either. It’s a nice limited edition. Headstock signature, wings! The flame mahogany neck and headstock not to shabby either.

I definitely like this run,I also liked the Dave’s limited edition run of 30 with signature on the headstock, 59/09’s, Tune-o-Matic, and that too had that deeper recessed sweet switch.

Yeah, it’s just the way they are nowadays.

I thought there was a run of ‘85 inspired CU24s with maple headstocks and baby eagle inlays too...

I’ll have to keep my eye out for them. Aesthetically I always thought PRS should have matching headstocks with tops, like they got it “right “ with west st.... baby eagle and all

I could be wrong about that.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Very nice, love the top, quite subtle.

Some Experience models come that , Here’s an example PRS Experience 2011 Orange Tiger

Original owner here. Nice guitar. PM me for a tone report.

 

[dogrocketp]

That’s a beautiful guitar.

Throwback & Tribute? I didn’t know there were two separate runs.

I think it depended on which store had them done.

I'm just the opposite, I don't like the headstock to match the top at all.

I do like TRC and back plates to match but the headstock not so much.

I've got a set of reissue T and B pickups in my parts drawer I'm surprised they didn't use those.

I like the 5909s a lot so I would be good with those.

 

[ElrytNamrogo]

I love these, would really like to have one! I really like the interior of that case, too.

According to the listing, it's from 2010, before 85/15s existed (at least on the market)

Looks like Markie’s old one that Jizzy Jones slimed.
