Black Back Custom 24 35th

[3524]

Bought this beautiful guitar yesterday and can't seem to find any others with black back and sides. Is it just me?

The guitar you found seems to be very black.
None more black.


I've been jonesing for a solid gloss black CU24-08 for a while but they are not easy to find because PRS usually makes guitars with transparent finishes which reveal the wood figuring.

I didn't explain the guitar. It has a wonderful maple top in blue. It's gorgeous. The back and sides are black. Dummy me.

That isn’t uncommon. A couple of mine have black back and sides.

Ok. Thanks.

Black back/neck is the norm with Whale Blue and Faded Whale Blue (and some others).

Can confirm, common:

I have two black back 594s, with black tops too Impossible to keep clean, but beautiful nonetheless. The only wood showing is the natural flamed binding around the top. Most of the black topped PRS guitars I’ve seen have translucent back finishes. While not “rare” they seem more unusual in 99.9% black.

My 25th anniversary CU22 Limited semi hollow is a 10 top in sapphire blue. Absolutely beautiful. And it’s a Smokeburst... meaning that beautiful top fades to black at the edges, the sides and back are all black.
