Belated NGD: I bought a PRS S2 Standard 24 Surf Green w/ Dot Inlays

[shinksma]

i know the available colors, the question is if they can do it specifically for customer.

AFAIK, they won't make it for you in that color - "Production" guitars are available only in the listed colors, with no customization - especially the S2 line (the core line has the Artist Package to allow the full range of available colors, and there are special dealer runs, plus you can always go Private Stock...).

However, as drdoom8793 stated, you could buy the guitar, and then for an additional fee (probably $400 to $500, but I'm just guessing, could be a lot more, I can't see it being much less) the PTC will re-finish it for you.

Hey, congrats to your new guitar!

I'm eyeballing the Standard 24 myself.
Just a quick question since you already have pulled the pickguard: How is the routing of the pickups and electronics cavities?
I'm asking because it would be cool to make a H/S/H version which would be easy if it's more of a "swimming pool" route already...

 

[honeyiscool]

It's a standard HH route, and not particularly deep ones either. I had to drill a tiny amount of wood out for my height adjustment screws. Yeah, I could have shortened them, but I believe that guitars are meant to be worked on, not to be afraid of.

That's what I thought...thanks!

With a little woodwork underneath the pickguard it's still possible I guess...

You are one smart cookie. I don’t really know squat about my babies. If I do have a problem I can take it to a guy that I honestly would trust with my life. This guy knows how to treat a guitar right.

I know how to do the basics and that’s it. Change strings you say. Of course I could do that blind folded. Lol

I was more interested in playing then anything else.

Someone should maybe contact a mod to check for a gas leak on the forum.

I’ll light a match and then distribute calendars.

It was interesting rereading this. My luthier used to work at the factory. He told me that the shielding was intentionally left out of the cavities. There is a difference in sound when you shield the guitar. We have tried it on a couple of my PRSi, and you can hear the difference. This was a reminder to me that anything that isn’t “standard” is considered wrong by some people.

You do what you want to YOUR guitar. I never listen to anyone unless i think it’s sound advice, I have done my homework and if it pertains to my particular guitars. You bought it, you paid for it. Do what you want to it.
