Anyway, big thanks to Doug for making a very fair deal and getting it across the pond so quickly.
Off the chart, and IMHO every bit as stunning as my PS version! Plus that neck...Just killer. Enjoy it!
I'll say this about my 30th Anniversary CU24 - it's become my go-to, and I'm using it for all kinds of projects. It's nice that they're pretty, but they are just so great to play, especially with these new pickups.
We all know that the CU24 was developed to be an "all 'rounder" kind of instrument, and I think PRS has only improved on that with this model.
Awesome, I bought it's bench mate in Blood Orange - you'll love it.
Wild West says they got 5 guitars in this wood library run with quilt tops, birdseye necks and African Blackwood boards. Your honey, my blood orange, a killer charcoal (which has sold) a whale blue and a vintage sunburst. I don't know if the last two have already sold, or if they haven't gotten them in yet. I sure would like to get a look at the last two.
Here is your guitar's twin brother if you're interested:

These 30th Anniversary models in general blow away all previous CU24s they've ever done. I think every single one of them looks hawt, I think the 85/15s are arguably their crowning achievement in pickup winding and all in all they just really have a mojo that I've never ever felt before with this model, despite it appealing to me on paper and then never really scoring in the flesh. It just doesn't sound like any other CU24 I've ever played.
Don't look now, but Wild West has no. 4 of our nearly identical quintuplets in stock now. Vintage sunburst quilt, birdseye neck, and African Blackwood board. I just wish I could have bought the whole set of five...........
