So there was a rather dirty guitar at the corner pawn shop that I almost passed over. It certainly needed a good bath. I knew it was a PRS, but at a glance it looked worse than the SE sitting next to it. It was also priced less than some of the riff raff like the nearby beat-up Jackson. Anyhow, I got home, cleaned her up, and I think I did alright for $490! It seems I got a 1993 PRS Custom 24 with moon dot inlays, an dark emerald finish over flamed maple, 5-way selector knob, and a HFS / Vintage pickup combo... with all original case + candy + tags to boot. Took me a while to realize just what I'd picked up. Glad I stop at pawn shops when possible. Take a look... I think I found a gem in the wild?

YEEEEEES!!!!

Congrats.

That's what I'm talking about.

That's a pawnshop score.

I got my '95 PRS Custom 24 Purple 10-Top for $1000 earlier this year at a local pawnshop, but that might be a little better deal. :D
 
All that and it's got stars on the case tags??? You have done well my friend...you have done well!!


Sweet top!
