I just got the 1998 Standard 24 Maple Top Goldtop in the pics below a couple of days ago. There’s a bit of a story related to this one.
I was browsing Reverb when I saw it. It occurred to me that it looked just like one that I had traded away about 7 years ago, something that I’ve regretted ever since I did it. I was interested because it was a dead ringer for that guitar.
As I looked at the pictures in the listing I began think that the guitar for sale might actually be my old Goldtop. I had to know for sure. I messaged the seller with the serial number of my old guitar and asked him if the number of his guitar matched the number I sent. He replied pretty quickly that it matched! I was floored it was my old guitar.
Needless to say we negotiated a price and I bought it. The icing on the cake was that the guitar was only about 50 miles from me. The seller allowed me to pick it up the next day.
I didn’t really need to have another PRS so soon after getting the Autumn Sky CU22, but I just had to buy it. It is the first PRS that I ever owned. I first bought it in 2000 and the only guitar that I have ever bought twice.
Here it is:
