Just got my first PRS! A 1997 Custom 24
After looking at a bunch I was going to get an S2, then came across this and it was quite a bit less expensive than most others I had seen so I jumped on it. I was quite nervous about the Wide Thin neck since there were no PRSs in town to try out, but I don't find it to be all that wide at all, or too thin.
Bridge pickup has been replaced with a SD '59. So far it's doing okay, I may look at swapping it, I usually play metal or hard rock.
The different switching options sound very good clean, and I'm still experimenting with them with gain. I have very little single coil experience and was surprised to see the switch positions weren't just a split coil by themselves like on a coil tapped Les Paul.
I am also wondering if you guys would know what the neck pickup would be. I believe it's original.
I'm also wondering what the official color name is, the seller called it purple, and it looks kind of wine red.
Well I feel like I'm rambling but so far I am thrilled with it. It's very comfortable and 2lbs lighter than my Heritage H-157 (Les Paul Custom style.)
I didn't get bird inlays like I wanted but the moons are a very nice touch.
And I like the trem, I've never had one with with springs.
