NGD...and need some help.

[Lightningflash]

My buddy says he has a couple sets of PRS pickups and possibly a nut for it, he just needs to dig them up. He lives a few states away but if I can get them cheap, I might have myself a $500 PRS Custom 24.

Dang!! That's a stellar score!!

Standard humbucker spacing.

When did the Custom 24 come with J birds??

How about a pic of the back of the headstock?


Sweet top!

Here ya go.

 

[sergiodeblanc]

And a 10 top to boot!!!!!

Well, he says he can't find them. So if anyone has some pickups they are looking to sell, let me know.

How much is it to do that?

Just a guess $750 for pickups installed and a full set up.
best to just contact PTC

OR
I have played Brian C custom 24s for a few years now and I've got to say the Suhr Aldrich set just work in the CU24 get a new Nut from most any PRS dealer ( for parts John Mann seems to always have them ) if your able to do it yourself you would only be in for $250 ish

 

[CyFan4036]

So jealous!! I’d have some pups custom wound for that.

Wow. That deal is mental. Congrats on the score. Yeah, I'd probably send it to PTC and let them work their magic.

Funny you should say this.....because I just happen to have a set of Aldrich's sitting around new in the box waiting for a guitar to go into....but they're zebra's so I'm not sure how they'd look in this guitar.

Zebras would look great in that!

Put a P90-Humbucker in the bridge and something like a goldfoil/filtertron/dynasonic/Gretsch-y thing in the neck.

Look for some cool knobs for it (I'm not a fan of 'speed knobs').

I'll toss out another vote for the Aldrich. Rider1260 installed a set in the KL-33 I used to have. They were KILLER in that guitar. And, I can also say that they sound great in BrianC's Cu24s

 

[WA Paul]

Here ya go.

Wow, deal of the century!

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Nice score!

I would have fun choosing pickups for that and spanking the heck out of it!

Fixed

 

[Beery Swine]

I bought it for $380 + tax.

I saw the pics before reading that. Holy Jesus, they may as well have just given it to you. Good God, man, you got a great deal.

 

[John Beef]

Man! I wish more guitars were sold just like that (and with that price to boot)!

 

[Lightningflash]

Well, I found a guy who lives about an hour from me who had a set of PRS Dragon II's. I ended-up getting the set for $120 but then he had a bunch of other pickups as well. I bought the PRS pickups, 2 Gibson Classic 57's, a Gibson PAF (he wasn't sure the exact model) and a Seymour Duncan Antiquity from him for $310.

The great thing is was that the guy lived 1.5 miles away from my luthier, so he was able to deliver the pickups to my luthier for me. I figured I can sell most of the other pickups and make enough that the PRS pickups would be free, at the least.

I think I'm going to have my wife run the guitar down to my luthier, have him wire in the pickups, put a new Tusq nut in it, clean-up some of the ends of the frets, and have it all set-up for me by next week.

I'll post some pics when she's done.

 

[gush]

That is a fabulous deal. If it were mine, I'd put 5310s in it and make it a quatro.

I have 3 sets of 5310s so that would be easier for me.

So, that's where they all went.

You got the deal of a lifetime. I hope you love the pickups and the guitar. Please post pictures when it's done.
