NICE!! Gorgeous guitar, stunning top. You'll love it.

22 fret DC stoptails are my favourite PRS design.

I was pretty surprised it lasted 2 months on Reverb, but the initial price was fairly high compared to the other CU22 Stoptails. The seller lowered it, but then when I watched it I got sent an automatic offer for 15% off and I couldn't possibly pass it up. If I was going to order a Private Stock, this would pretty much be the options I'd get.

Nice! Congrats! My first PRS is a 1996 whale blue CU22. My buddy bought an emerald green CU24 around the same time. Both great guitars.

My first was a mid-90s CU24, purple. I bought it new, but I don't remember exactly when - some time between '94 and '96. The only pic I have of it any more is not a great pic of the guitar itself:

Are you saying that I’ve aged in the 30 years since that photo was taken?

I love the winged tuners, I just can’t see the groove the string sits in very well. Even with my glasses & a bright light I’m changing the strings by feel. Getting old sucks.
