My first PRS- what did I have?

[mojo1fan]

I've been reminiscing lately about my first PRS. I worked in a music store back in the early-mid 90s. We weren't a PRS dealer, but we were able to do a swap with a shop in Dallas. I then got to purchase it at my employee discount (cost plus 10%). Retail at the time (1993-94 thereabouts) was $2400, so I got it for $1330. The specs-

Flame maple top
Dark cherry sunburst
24 frets
MOON inlays
Small neck heel
5 way rotary switch

so, what model was this? I thought it was a Standard, but ones I look up are the non-maple top models. Customs, as I recall, had bird inlays. So what did I have?

Custom(24)

It could have been a Custom 24 or a CE24. Do you remember what the neck wood was? Or if it was a set neck or bolt-on?

If they were moons and not dots it’d be a Custom(24)

Could have been...

Sorry... yeah... maybe... but yeah... prolly a C24

Def a Custom, back in those days, birds were an extra option.

And a maple topped Standard would’ve been opaque.

Cool, thanks for the info guys.

Wish I still had it.
