Picked up a throwback PRS!

[matt3310]

Picked this up at GC today. Its a 2011 GC Throwback model. Pretty cool guitar. Been played hard! A few dings here and there. Mostly on the back. The bridge pickup ring was broke. I got her home and replaced the pickup rings with a black set.

So far it's a cool guitar. But I'm not crazy about it just yet. The sweet switch is cool. Whats the general opinion on these throwback guitars?

I have zero experience with the sweet switch, but that is a very cool guitar.

First off: Bangin’!

Has to have cream rings though. All in all I think they’re a cool homage to original Custom’s even if they’re not exact replicas, and at least they came with the good tuners.

Edit: Looks like a Mann trem on there too!

I have a sweet switch on my 30th Anni. CU24 PS. It’s a great feature. I like the throwback idea a lot.

I just realized my auto-correct changed the spelling of cream to creme and I cant fix it! Drives me nuts!

If it makes you feel better Creme is Cream in Portuguese. Which by the way, I think suits your guitar a little bit better. Both looks nice though.

I'm a cream guy on this guitar. Cool find. I didn't know anything about these. Killer!

 

[veinbuster]

Great score.
I’d stay with cream.

 

[shinksma]

Definitely cream/creme.

Old school chrome ring? Just a though.

 

[WA Paul]

Cool guitar! Cream de la cream?

Very nice Matt, congratulations!

Here she is all cleaned up! I decided to go with white rings. They seem to fit just right!
