Another NGD

[Elgravos]

Custom 24 made it here at last, courtesy of John Mann's Guitar Vault. Custom ordered Artist series with rosewood neck with ebony board - blue matteo finish - 85/15s. Pretty spectacular. As always, the pictures don't do it justice. Plays beautifully and sounds incredible. The only downside is they use a very strong smelling lemon oil polish on the rosewood neck - apparently some kind of boat wax according to John. I was wondering if they put anything on the neck and now I know, there's a very strong smell of pledge in the room! Small price to pay all things considered!

For those who are wondering about current wait times: I ordered it on April 5th and it arrived at the dealer's on Sept 2, so just shy of 5 months. Obviously: YMMV.

Spectacular reminds of the moment when i got my AP 513 after a 4 months wait.
Enjoy it in good health

Thanks, I think the Pledge is the PRS Rosewood equivalent to "new car smell". I will miss it when it's gone!

Surely everyone should have at least one blue PRS. IMHO "Blue Matteo" is their equivalent of Ferrari Red / Racing Green... that's the color I've had in mind for as long as I can remember!

Fortunately you can buy your own and get that smell back any time if you want to.

Nice guitar too! We do have our resident blue guitar hater, but a lot of us like 'em.

Damn, that's a sweet looking guitar ! Play it in good health.

Nice piece!!!, And FYI, lemon oil is one of the best products to keep your fretboard in good shape. I've been using it since the 80s.

Oh that is a keeper! I really like the grain pattern. Very well matched and I really like blue guitars, and green ones and purple ones, and yellow ones....As long as they have PRS on the headstock.
