Could be my PS

[xarkon]

I'd love to find a Custom 24-08, Charcoal Cherry Burst, pattern thin. Held off on a couple that were available in May thinking "yeah, I'm going to Experience." But nothing there. (Came home with a guitar anyway. )

I've got searches going on various sites, but haven't seen one.

Which leads to the PS...

I keep thinking the ideal guitar would be a Cu24-08 with piezo and the DGT control setup; and possibly a fatback. I'm assuming that puts me into a PS order. Thoughts?

Where are all the 24-08s?

I've had one on order for 7 months; still 4 more months to go. I've been surprised by the lack of 24-08s in the market.

Yup, puts you into PS, since the DGT setup and piezo aren’t native to that model.

However, it sounds like it’d be a pretty darn cool guitar with the DGT control layout, and in truth, it’s hard to go wrong with a PS guitar. They’re just SO NICE!!

Wonder if the 24-08s are a successful hit or overlooked by the Silver Sky and now the Special Semi-Hollow Limited.

I don't think the PRS piezo bridge is compatible with two volume controls. Even with PS, I think they'll have to use a different piezo system to use the DGT control setup. I vaguely remember a thread on this several years ago.

I was thinking there would be four pots: one for the piezo; one for bridge volume; one for neck volume; one for tone.

Which raises a question: wouldn't it be possible to re-create the 24-08 switching by adding push-pull pots to a Cu24 with 58/15s? If so, I may have another (and much less expensive) way to get what I'm looking for...

Hello, this might be what your looking for. Looks like it won’t arrive for awhile though.

Thanks. AMS has a similar listing.

I'm open to considering piezo models as well, given my previous post.

Did they have the one then?

24-08, not in Charcoal Cherry Sunburst, actually a more awesome color that I have not seen before. Pics when it arrives.

Thanks for the links!! Interesting that all of them are either WL or PS. The only other cache of 24-08s I've seen are in Germany.

There are a couple at Wild West that are close to what I ordered: Artist Package in Copperhead Burst with a rosewood neck. I ordered it this past December.

 

[Dead&Co]

Any thoughts on 85/15 vs 58/15s? The 58/15s are only available on the WL. Is one having a cover the only difference between the two?

 

[xarkon]

There's this, which I believe was in another forum post. However, the 24/08 has the 58/15 MT (multi-tap) version. No idea what other differences might exist.

Just opened the case. Cu24-08 Wood Library in gray/black fade, mahogany back and flame maple neck in natural, Braz fretboard.
