Hello I'm Scott, new PRS forum member. I recently privately purchased a 93 PRS CE-24 Dark Blue . I live in NJ but found none in my area, after a larger search I found the guitar on Craigslist in central Maine I was specifically looking for the Alder body, arch top , wide thin neck with small heel. I also loved the Dark Blue color which was the final deciding factor. After a series of e-mails an 800 mile/30 hrs of no sleep round trip drive I am the third owner of this beautiful pre-stevensville PRS. Unfortunately the first owner regretfully removed the original tuning pegs and pickups and replaced them with locking tuners ( cannot make out the brand) and Dimarzio Pickups. I wish to restore this guitar to its original specs. Schaller M6 wing collar tuners and the original Vintage bass and HFS pickups. Any ideas on whether this is good idea, where to find parts, suggestions etc ... Any help or insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
Also upon removal of the pickups I found the original matching serial number to the neck, Dark Blue color Id, & WT ( for wide thin ) and an RF which I'm not sure what this abbreviation means.. Any help with that abbreviation would be helpful too. I looked everywhere in searches and couldn't find it. Would add some pics but not sure how just yet ..
Thank you
Scott
