I really like the look of this guitar. What wood is the top?

That is sweet, enjoy!

Custom 24 Wood Library, all satin with a killer neck

D*mn that's nice. Gorgeous in front and the flame maple satin neck must feel as good as it looks.

Congrats!

 

[Black Dog]

Very nice congrats.

I thank you all for your kind words about my new Wood LIbrary PRS.

Hi, I really don't know. It does not say in the build sheet that has a cryptic text that says "WL 1019 CU24 Satin CC10Q" I have no idea what that means. Sorry. Maybe someone knows better?

The top is a single peice of figured maple. They are relatively rare among a rare selection of wood.

Ah, thanks a lot for your input and knowledge. Appreciate it.

The decode of the cryptic text as I understand it would be as follows:
WL (Wood Library)
1019 (Wood Library run number - dealers place WL runs and they are of 10 guitars at a time of same specs/build with 2 color variations - so 5 of each color)
CU24 (guitar model)
Satin (guitar finish)
CC10Q (guessing a bit on this one, but I would say "Custom Color" "10 top" and I wanna say "Quilt" but it is not really what I would call a quilted top)

Plenty of folk here who know a whole lot more than me, so some may correct this stuff ;~))

Wow, htanks a lot. That really helped. For the "quilt", I agree, but what would you call it if not that? Is it some sort of "burl"? For the neck, it says "ST/FL MAP NECK FB 58/15"?

There is a gray area in terminology. I'd say it is closer to quilt than flame. You might call it fugured.

But does it matter? It looks phenomenal.

 

[Andrew Paul]

Ohhhhh…. HELL YEAH!!! that’s just tasty!

Congrats!!

 

[Captainwave]

Thanks, but you know what, the neck is the real killer here, but I can't find a way to publish images. The sugggested sites does not support European users. I've taken photos myself but have no idea how to publish them...

The neck is a Stained Flamed Maple, your guitar has 58/15 pickups.

No idea what "FB" means.

The color of the guitar is a Black Gold (maybe smokeburst?) Wrap. The Wrap means they didn't leave the maple cap with "scraped binding". In most PRS with maple tops, they leave the edge natural to create a bound look.

It's definitely not burl. That would have pockets where the wood has "rotted" and may, or may not, have been filled.

My take on the rest is:
ST/FL Map Neck - Stained Flamed Maple Neck
FB - Fat back - meaning the body is thicker than the normal Custom 24
58/15 - the model of the pick ups.


Here's an example of a burl top (photo from the PSF thread)

Ah yes, Fatback! Good call!! I was mulling over that for a while and came up with nothing ;~((

I think it's still a quilted top, but the quilt bubbles that we normally associate with a quilted top are large. The bubbles on your guitar look elongated and skinny. That's what makes it so unique. That piece of wood must have been phenomenal.
