Hi everyone, just joined, first post.
I bought my first les paul after owning strats for 25 years and after a few months with it, its going to be sold for a PRS custom 24. The neck is slightly too thick (traditional model), I hate where the selector switch is located and its unbalanced and uncomfortable to play. So I want to get some info before I start shopping and I would appreciate any help. Sorry for all the questions!
1) How is the market for prs right now? Are they still selling well? If I need to sell this PRS that I am buying is it a long wait? I just sold an old strat and it took me a week. Obviously I intend to keep it but I like to know that I can sell it in a cash emergency.
2) Which neck would you recommend? I will be trying them in the store but its nice to know what to look for. I like the fender soft v and the chunky c necks work too. Anything bigger or smaller doesnt feel right to me. Trying to see what is a similar fit in PRS land.
3) what finishes would you recommend? I am pretty open here on the color, the flame pattern is more important to me than the color. Just curious what is popular.
4) Id like a used one but I prefer the selector switch in the newer models. Is it better then to get a new one and get the warranty than something a year or two old, gently used? Its hard for me to get a feel for what they sell for. Id just like a 10 top, no artist or private stock.
Any other info would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have a favorite store that sell PRS in the DC area or online please let me know.
