Meet my 1988 Custom !

[Deft Tungsman]

Hey, folks ! Long time no see.

Yesterday, after years and years of procrastination, I finally got around to doing a quick video to present my '88 Custom.

I got it in 2007, three years after I’d gotten my first guitar from Maryland, a 1999 McCarty Hollowbody II. By the end of 2011, I'd picked up a Custom 22/12 12-string, a McCarty Soapbar, a second '88 Black Cherry Custom with Birds and an original-run 513 with the Brazilian Rosewood neck. My PRS fever evenutally broke, and as time has gone by and I've gotten ever deeper into solo acoustic guitar, I've let go of every single PRS except this Custom.

I hope the video conveys the reasons why.

Thanks for sharing that. Enjoyed it very much. I really love the old classic custom 24 guitars. My first was a 1989 signature series with a sweet switch (purchased new in January 1990) and I had a red custom 24 with a sweet switch and I had two or three others from the 90s with factory tone knobs, one of which I still have a 1992 signature series. Anyway, sweet switch was very cool and useful. T & B pickups are awesome and so were the HFS bridge and Vintage Bass neck from that time period.

A 1990 custom 24 was one of my main guitars playing in a band years ago

Not a custom 24 but a McCarty 10th anniversary 1995
