I've lusted after these guitars since the early 90's, but since guitar is purely a hobby for me and already own some nice guitars, wasn't able to justify the expense previously. I was raising two kids and; well you all know how life goes.
Any-who, seeing as though I turned 61 in the year PRS turned 30, figure I'm not getting any younger and so impressed with what this company is doing for its Ann; bought my Custom 24. Only played it for 1/2 hour so far as I need to get some work done before I log off; but in love. From a cosmetic point of view; this is a masterpiece, no other way to put it; far more beautiful and flattering in-person than the pictures at the dealer could reveal.
On a side note, I must of changed my mind about which finish I wanted about a dozen times; but thrilled with landing on blood orange.
Wasn't sure about the "Normal Pattern" neck I selected, but turned out to be the best choice for me. As it is, the neck seems smaller than the 54' Strat neck I'm used to and it's great; any smaller for me (I have fairly big hands) would have been too thin I think.
Not quite getting the sustain I hoped for, but that may very well just be me so far. I haven't played really loud or with any over drive; just expected it to naturally hold the note for 6-7-seconds about; and seem to be only getting 3-4--secs, but we'll see.
She genuinely plays like a dream. Feels perfect in my hands; neck is great and the sound is over the top; really compliments the Strat sound I already have from my; uh doh, Strat ;p I'm going to get years; actually the rest of my life of enjoyment from this guitar. I love it and surely, what I'm feeling right now must be what this company was aiming for in the first place and has been doing for 30-years; making guitarists hearts healthier. Thank you PRS !!
