Just bought a 2001 SC245

[Mixstar]

I just got my sticky fingers on this 2001 SC245 Dark Cherry Sunburst Quilt #7 pick ups and with a wide fat 24.5" scale neck. It's immaculate and, of course, sounds wonderful.

The price was good tooroud:

Edit: This guitar is a singlecut (not an SC245/250) with a 25" scale - I've got the nomenclature correct now, I think, thanks to PRS BB members.

B-e-a-utiful! Enjoy the heck out of that baby.

Nice. Very Nice!

Aha! Congrats. That used to be my guitar. I bought it in 2001 on my trip to the Birds & Moons members meeting. The excellent Brian Meader (then of Chuck Levins) pulled some strings for me to get it before I returned to the UK.

Here is a photo from my trip to the factory

Its the guitar at the end of the rack just on its way to the buffing room.

Nice one!!
Was there a 245 in 2001??
Isn't this a 250?

Congrats on your score. Great color / pattern.

I've got it's history as well now, thanks.

Was there a 245 in 2001??

I'm being told it's a 245 and there seem to be 245's from 2001 on the interweb.

Edit: Looking at the ad again it does say 25" scale so . . .

Edit again: Link removed

24.5 or 250, it`s beautiful. And I bet it sounds great! Enjoy.

Wow nice axe, so cool you've got a factory pic now of it!

It would just be a "Singlecut" by the way, the SC245/250 naming didn't come until later on I'm pretty sure. If you want to confirm the scale length, just measure it

 

[BMiller]

Wow! That's a beautiful guitar man! Congrats!!!

Sweeter than caramel and honey

Congrats, rock her to your heart's content

That's the coolest part!:wink:

Ok, that's something new for me, just an SC it is, I'm happy either way. Thanks for all the input folks.

Congrats! :top:
The original Singlecuts are my favorite PRSi.

 

[garrettb]

Nice early Singlecut.

I'll confirm the 25" scale. The 24.5" versions didn't come until after the Gibson lawsuit was settled ('07-ish?). That's when the SC245 and SC250 names started.

 

[Mixstar]

Thanks:top:

It's presently sat in it's hard case in the room next door to my office and I have to keep going in to look at it. It's truly immaculate and looks like it came out of PRS yesterday.

Gorgeous guitar! Enjoy it and rock on!

 

[vchizzle]

Sweet! The factory pic is super cool!

 

[Mixstar]

Hmm, how coincidental is this? The guitar I just bought, as above, is serial #1 54655 the one in the ad is serial #1 54656! I find that spooky especially as that's a 10 top and mine isn't

The factory pic is super cool!

It's brilliant, I was well pleased.

Guitar looks cool! Congrats and enjoy. Very interesting top.
