They really need to up the image limit per post, this takes quite a bit longer having to separate all the pics out to 4-5 posts!

This one sounds and plays amazing as usual! The specs are this one are pretty unique, I haven't seen another out there that has Bonnie Pink stain on the top with natural back AND the flamed maple neck with ebony fretboard combo which is exactly what I wanted. Spec-wise, this is my ideal CU24! There was the Wood Library CU24 that I had recently with similar wood specs (but with a BRW fretboard instead of ebony) that would have been perfect but the neck carve was a Pattern Thin and apparently on the maple necks, that varies a bit and usually ends up on the thinner side for some reason according to a few dealers I talked to after I received it. This one has the "Pattern Regular" carve on it which is much more comfortable on my joints since I am still dealing with the rheumatoid arthritis issues in conjunction with the Crohn's Disease stuff it seems I have to be much more picky about neck carves these days unfortunately. Pattern Regular on a PRS maple neck feels FANTASTIC!!!

Pure awesome! I love that flamey maple neck. Is the hybrid hardware an artist package feature?

Thanks guys! Despite some cosmetic stuff I noticed on this one upon arrival that wasn't disclosed previously by the dealer, I am totally in love with her! The pickups are the perfect set for the mahogany body + maple neck + ebony fretboard combo! The 57/08's in this one are a little warmer so they smooth out what could be a little too much high end, absolutely LOVE the tone! The satin finish PRS puts on their maple necks these days is just superb too!

Pure awesome! I love that flamey maple neck. Is the hybrid hardware an artist package feature?

Yessir, hybrid hardware is one of the options on the Artist Package. I think you could order it without the hybrid hardware if you didn't want it, but I love it and it is one of the options of going AP. Looks killer, adds a nice bit of contrast IMO!
