Finally, my NGD!!!

[Tono]

Hi PRS'ers,

Some of you may recall my last post, where I was asking for advise as to how to deal with the anxiety of waiting for my guitar to arrive. Well, I now can tell you that the one and only way to make the waiting easier is for it to reach an end!!!

I cannot say how extremely happy I am with this guitar, and how much the time and money spent is worth it. It is simply the best guitar I have ever played, and hopefully not the last PRS.

Take a look at the photos, hope you like it as much as I do.

Best,
Tono

Beautiful quilt! Enjoy.

Woooaaahh!! That is amazing!
I just got a similar purple one arriving this coming week... I'd LOVE to have a green one to make it "apple and blackcurrant" lol...


Full spec details please! Would love to see a vid of this..

Looks like 2014 Cu24 with rosewood neck & fingerboard (or is fingerboard ebony?), green quilt with hybrid hardware..

Man I am so jealous, that is just LOVELY!!

Ah, I see the specs in your other thread:
http://prsguitars.com/forum/showthread.php?10629-What-to-do-when-this-happens-!

Got to say, even though I'm getting mine soon (http://prsguitars.com/forum/showthread.php?10891-NGD) I'm still very jealous here - the green is simply stunning!! How can PRS get better looking than this!?

 

[Tono]

Thanks Tosca, I will try to!!!

Guitarman, it is a custom24 artist package with rosewood neck but ebony fingerboard. Hybrid hardware and hfs/vb pickups.

I have uploaded a video here for my brother to listen to it - a few misses and recorded with my iPhone, so not huge quality but hopefully there will be more to come!

Thanks, I am glad you like it and hope yours looks as nice if not more!!!

 

[guitarman001]

Is it satin neck? I will check out the vid now!

 

[guitarman001]

Wow!! HFS/VB sound amazing, as does the guitar in general!
I've seen PRS selling for less because they've had those pups as opposed to 57/08s etc, but I can say that they sound amazing!
Do you play in a band because you're pretty good - what song is it (and what amp/effects etc)?

 

[Tono]

It is but not because I requested it, might be just the stock rosewood necks? Not sure, but it feels great!

 

[Tono]

By the way, only that video is mine - the rest are videos I helped with recording, so no credit at all. He is a guy that plays here in Madrid.

 

[guitarman001]

I massively prefer satin necks - nice one!!

I just noticed a similar one in the UK:

Cost a fortune though... Man, that'd go good with purple lol..

MANY congrats - hope you keep yours all your life. Looks absolutely stunning and sounds great!

That's one of the best quilts I've ever seen on a production guitar, regardless of the manufacturer.

 

[Tono]

That one looks great as well! I tried to get some burst but it was only available through private stock, so I went for the simpler jade and save that for my first PS!

Thanks again, you can rest assured that I will keep it. I have not sold any single piece of gear in my life so won't do it with this one (at least not if I can survive without doing it!)

 

[guitarman001]

Any time you want to do more vids... that's alright by me!

 

[Tono]

I have to admit that I was not much into quilt myself, it felt a bit showy to me. Now I don't regret at all, it is a great looking guitar and I just feel that I'll need to improve my playing to keep pace with it!

 

[Tono]

I'm never satisfied with them, it is so difficult to me to complete something half decent that I just keep trying and trying! That one was a quick familiar one and it is actually hidden on YouTube, not proud about it but I thought that otherwise no one would listen to this beauty.

Thanks a lot, guitarman, appreciated!!

 

[JustRob]

Incredible top! :top: Congrats!

 

[László]

Very, very sweet, and no doubt worth the wait! That one is beyond nice.

 

[Tono]

Thanks Rob! It is incredible indeed, but most of them are! everything looks perfect for me, I am so in love with this guitar!

 

[Tono]

You can really say that, Les!! I love the way your Hammer of Gods looks, that is a extraordinary look of guitar, and it sounds amazing, by the way.

Thanks!
