Hello PRS forum, I've been searching used SE Custom 22 & 24 models to potentially buy my first PRS. Background, play mostly P&W music for my church but also like to play 70s type classic rock tones as well as Mayer-ish realm bluesy stuff. I've mostly only used guitars with Fender scale length and never could get along with the weight of an LP (I'm a slim female and it's just too heavy).
I am hoping for possible recommendations as well as anything to avoid. Been hunting in the Guitar Center used section off and on for a couple weeks and found a guitar labeled by them as a "CM4TS SE Custom 24," but haven't been able to find anything out about what that means. Also haven't exactly figured out PRS serials (this one is N19022) to try to date this particular guitar. Can't post a link until I have 3 posts here but if anyone is able to chime in on if $429 is a fair price or very overpriced, I would sure appreciate the input.
Oh yes, and I'm looking used cause at least for the next several months until after holidays, budget would be very strictly under $500, maybe stretch to $600 tops. So anything new is out of the question.
