After owning and loving an S2 Cu22 Semi-Hollow for years, I've always wanted to add a Core model to my guitar arsenal, but have never been able to find one that I loved enough to finally swallow the cost. But on a regular Reverb hunt I found a 2003 Custom 24 that absolutely spoke to me and had enough visual imperfections that it was at a palatable price point. Had the 5 way rotary I was looking for, a wide thin neck, and most importantly that core carve. The finish on the back at the heel is quite cloudy, but that does nothing to affect the sound or playability of this beast. I fear this may be a slippery slope though...
