NGD - AP CU24-08

[Dormouse]

Finally NGD for me! I've been drooling over Custom 24s for at least a decade. A couple years ago I first spotted the Makena Blue finish & was similarly smitten. Earlier this year when the 24-08 became a standard production model I decided to finally make the plunge on my first PRS. In late March I put in an order for an Artist Package & began what I was told would be a year wait. Got a call a few months later that said it had been moved up to August, but that was a bust. Next estimated time was November, but then this weekend an e-mail showed up out of the blue saying it had arrived! Came home from work yesterday to this! (Control cover was from an event earlier this year) Haven't had time to properly try it out yet, but just playing it unplugged has been a treat.

I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Sun has gone down & the light inside doesn't do the guitar any favors

Yep! It's jet black. Even better than I had hoped!

Beautiful guitar! What is the neck wood?

 

[Dormouse]

What is the neck wood?

The only thing I changed from standard artist package specs was the hybrid hardware, so the neck is mahogany.
