They’re a good hunt for sure. The core ones at least.

Hi all thanks, however I think I'm sending it back.
I'll decide on Friday after speaking to Tony Edwards.
As far as I can make out it's had a piece of wood let into the left hand side of the heel. It's very faint but it looks like the wood was cut to fit joining a shade under the top of the guitar. A tidy job but something what makes me believe it's had a real accident.
There is also a wierd marking along the neck which is visible from the photos I have. Now im thinking that is part of a repair not the markings of the wood. I can't believe PRS sent it out of the factory with the neck with a chunk of wood replaced.
The old 9 gauge strings and I think to little relief don't help.
I'm leaving it to acclimatise until Friday.
I also see what people say about the pickups, however a proper setup and new strings may make it spins better. To me it lacks a balanced sound and the bridge pickup seems to not be a good sound.

If it is, they did a great job.
It matches mine.

I totally missed this (small?) niche of the PRS universe in the early 2000s...
I had Singlecuts (01 and 04), SC250, Starlas, and Singlecut Soapbard Standard...but never came across a "standard" Singlecut Standard until today.

My son was born when these came out. That kept me busy.
Totally forgot about them until one popped up on Reverb a few years ago.
It slots in nicely with my other OG Singlecuts.
I didn't notice any signs of it being modified there. But I believe the guitar has been repaired and the repaire to the heel makes me wonder if the neck had to be removed. It has resonance but it's nothing like the Mcarty I had. That I regret having to sell, it wasn't flash but wow what a guitar.
I have decided to keep the guitar after getting it looked at. Tony Edwards is sure it's not been repaired. It's had a setup and the frets crowned just waiting for the custom Clausen pickups to be made. Will be 2 volume controls and neck coil split option. If I need a tone control option I'll have a preset switchable option probably just on the bridge pickup to round the treble off a little maybe using push pull on that volume control.
Now just waiting to see if next weekend is NGD.

I finally got the guitar home last weekend.
The pickups help the clarity and the coil split on the neck pickup gives a great mid position sound. I think the bridge pickup could be a tad more powerful but thats it. The 2 volumes increase the versatility. I'll take some pictures later this week as I've bee playing alot. Now I'm wondering do I move my Yamaha SG1820 on and get another single cut but with a maple top and the traditional 2 volume 2 tone setup or go for an early 2000s or late 90s Mcarty like I used to have. I think those options would complement the Singlecut satin. I'd forgotten how rock solid the Cores are and the little extra neck thickness and width help.
Has anyone got the maple topped singlecut or a early Mcarty.

Maybe beyond your timeline, but have a look at the early 2010's Stripped 58 (my #1)
