Hi!

Can someone help identify this 2002 PRS Custom 24 guitar 10 top color?

From the lighting it looks like Vintage Yellow, or it could be a faded Tortoise. Those dyes can fade in all sorts of ways. Easiest way to tell is pull the pickups and it should be written in the cavity.

The lighting makes it tough to really see.

I'd agree with Vintage Yellow, based on that pic.

I think it’s Amber. I had a McCarty in that color.

Yep, I'm going with Amber as well.

I'll third the nomination for Amber.

Honey?

 

[BWV548]

German blue cranberry burst.

Amber....seems identical to my amber CE

Could be any of Vintage Yellow, Amber, or Honey. Or even Santana Yellow in a slightly off color-balance.

 

[garrettb]

Honey didn't exist in 2002, so that's out. The white balance does not appear to be far enough off to make me think that it's yellow.

Only way to know for sure is for someone to grab a screwdriver and take out the bridge pickup.

Too much caramel for Vintage Yellow. It’s Amber, which was also one of my favorite PRS colors when they offered it!

Amber...

It’d have to have a red back to be VY. Les called it on Thursday, Garrett agreed, and Jamie confirmed it.... Seriously all I need to know to convict.

No way I can disagree with this, but how do you know the color of the back of the guitar? In the image I see, I can't see anything of the back.

Headstock and cutaway.

Didn't they call it violin amber back in the day? They should bring that back. Makes a nice quilt top!

Has anyone said "Amber" yet?
