Seeing a recent thread on a magnificent Paul’s 28 made me think about this unique specimen.
A Custom 24 Stoptail with a pernambuco neck. Wide curl chevron top in a burnt gold finish. Streaky Mexican Rosewood fingerboard lined with celtic knots and gold side dots.
Conceived as kindred to the Paul’s 28 guitars from material to adornment, right down to a set of original Paul’s 28 pickups. Except this is a standalone PS build with 24 frets instead of 22.
Hence its audacious christening as “Paul’s 24”. The inscription behind the headstock is such a sporting gesture, a one-off whim from a one-off past, no doubt.
Last but not least, tone and resonance that’s truly off the charts.
Those celtic knots could well be a metaphor for an alignment of stars. Every time I touch this guitar that famous tagline whispers out - “You don’t own me, buddy. You’re merely taking care of me for the next generation.”
