Now there is a dilemma, I'm soon going to take the plunge and treat myself in my early retirement to a PRS. I have had dozens over the years and always sold them. The first one I bought was in the late 80's from Chandlers. Since then I have had several Customs 24's a handful of 22's, one Standard, two Signatures, two Artists, a Mc Carty, a Hiland, and lastly two DGT's about two years back. I have come to learn that the Custom 24 with a regular neck profile in of course Vintage Yellow is my PRS for life, and I mean life. I only want one more, keep it and forget about changing. I have had enough of lsoing money on them so this one WILL stay.
So I really like the new guitars, love the 85/15 pickups, the headstock inlay and tuners etc....but for some reason I'm drawn to the the old pre 1994 Customs. I'm not a fan of the early tuners but love the almost handmade vintage feel of them. However the last one I had about three years ago was a plain goldtop with moons but it seemed to he a little unstable and I felt like the neck joint was to blame, I guess thats why Paul lengthened them.
So what do you guys think....old or new? Has anyone got both. Please help, all advice gladly taken on board.
