New (to me) Cu24 + new pups

[walkerjerry]

Hey all. I've been playing almost 20 years and though I've always been a fan, this is the first PRS I've actually owned. 2002 Custom 24 Stoptail. Traded my last amp (I'm a Kemper guy these days) for it recently. It needed a little TLC, but after I set it up properly, it's just fantastic. The HFS/VB set was a bit too hot for me, so I swapped in a set of Dimarzio 36th's (my favorite PAF set for overall versatility), and man does it sound great. Looks better too, I think.

New pickups:

Hi, I have your brother here in the UK, 2002 Custom 24 Artists Pack

Yeah, to be honest, I generally prefer a trem, but this is my only Humbucker guitar currently (besides Ftrons), and I find it's nice to have the versatility of this guitar on hand, as I do play a wide variety of genres. I like being able to flip through various tunings more easily. When I traded for this, I figured I'd probably sell it, but man, it's grown on me very quickly. No intentions of selling now.

Just out out of curiosity, how uncommon are cu24 stop tails? I know that they made them as an option right up until about the time this one was made.

I had one of those too. Kinda wish I had kept it. The color is Amber

Congrats

Very nice. I'm not a HFS/VB fan either.... My CU24 has 57/08s and I love it.

Man, I just love HFS/VB. If anyone wants to sell a set let me know! Great guitar, I love a "played" PRS.

Really nice!

I just sold the set I pulled out of here 2 days ago. Actually they sold in under 30 minutes of me posting them. Obviously some people love them!

Nice guitar! Don't tell me where you live, or it'll go out the window one night!

Ooh, that would be a bad idea, friend. And thanks!
