NGD SE Custom 24 35th Anniversary

[Jim Halinda]

It finally arrived! Purchased online from Cosmo Music in Toronto, Canada. Before shipping they give the guitar an inspection and setup, and it arrived in perfect condition and plays like a dream!

Once I learned about (and heard clips of) TCI pickups, I knew it was finally time to get a PRS. I had always liked the features of the Custom 24 and was thrilled when I saw the 35th anniversary SE had TCI pickups.

Sound-wise, it is everything I was hoping for after listening to every demo clip I could find. Smooth and sweet, the pickups give this guitar a beautiful vocal quality. Like the voice of a crooner!

Playing-wise, it feels wonderful! I have always been one who believes a guitar should be easy to play, I don't want to have to fight it, and playing this guitar is a breeze!

I've read a few threads about Indonesian SEs that had quality control issues, and I was worried, but this one is fantastic!

Regards,

Jim

Bought mine from fleet sound in Ottawa
I have the black gold version
Quality is spot on and plays great.

I ordered the locking tuners and installed them as well.
That said I didn’t have any tuning issues but it does make it more stable and easier to fine tine due to the gear ratio.

wonderful guitar . A bit more cost than the normal se custom 24 but worth every penny.

Mine is also black gold, and Cosmo had pictures of each one in their inventory, so I got to choose the one I wanted online. That was nice as I could pick the top I liked best, and it did not disappoint!

Tuning seems stable on mine as well but I will be tempted to get the locking tuners as I like the convenience of them.

May also get black pickup rings and switch tip as I would like that look better.
