Dear PRS Forum, I never thought this would happen to me...

[Furtive]

Folks, the ish just got real out here at Castillo Furtivo. Finally pulled the trigger on my first core model, a Standard. It's an older one, no longer minty fresh, and appears to have some kind of rash, but that's how I was able to afford it.

SN# 61508

Nice! Congrats !

Nice... a 1986 pre Standard?

 

[veinbuster]

Excellent.
Winged tuners rock.
Pull the strings snug when you change them out so the wings line up nice.

Yep, seller told me this one was at 1986 NAMM. Will get the full details later today.

Happy for you!
That "total black" really makes the silhouette of the guitar shine ... and it's clearly the best guitar shape ever possible (apart from the headstock .. there is one which is better than that)

Congrats! You're going to need more Oak Floor space.

 

[GTinSpanishFort]

Nice!

 

[Jimi D]

That's sweet... Congrats!

(one day, I'll have a Standard with a sweet switch and winged tuners too!)

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

Nice! I really miss my Standard, they are great guitars!

 

[László]

Enjoy it!

 

[Furtive]

So I'm digging around the web for pics of the 1986 NAMM show, and found this one. Same guitar? I wonder how many guitars PRS brought to that show.
