PRS 24 fret fixed bridge core series

[huseyin isbilir]

Guys does anybody have any idea if ever PRS is going to release a fixed bridge 24 fret Core Series guitar? If not I think I have to start working for a private stock .

The old Core Mira (not the S2 version) was.

The KL1812 was another.

The original (special edition or whatever) P24 was a fixed bridge.

So there are a few out there.

If you want new...well, perhaps not.

EDIT: example of a stoptail P24 on Reverb (sold, so don't get your hopes up):

Hmm, it seems I need to search backwards in time. I did not know that a model like KL1812 existed.

The stoptail was an option on the CU24 late 90's - early 00's. Not common, but they show up occasionally. Rarer are some early 90's Customs with tune-o-matic.

Core Mira is a rockin' guitar.

You could always buy a vibrato equipped guitar and block it.

Im waiting for a Custom 24 string through with the hipshot style bridge thats on the Holcomb model, but PRS doesn't seem like they are getting enough interest from the consumer to produce more of the modern style stuff, so i think ill be waiting for quite a while.

I am not a fan of hipshot bridge, it looks cool on the pictures and I ordered it on a Kiesel custom and I did not like it, because it has sharp corners. But I see that PRS has upgraded that type of bridge on the Holcomb guitar. It has rounder edges compared to the hipshot. I really like the simplistic design of the Prs stoptail bridge.

Yes I can block it with a piece of wood but it is not the same thing , according to my sick opinion it makes something more imperfect than it already is . But if I cannot find something and the private stock price turns out more than what I expect than that is what I am going to do. Which is buying a custom 24 wood library with rosewood neck and then block the tremolo..

Besides the aforementioned Miras and P24s, there have been others over the years... I owned a Standard 24 with a stoptail for a few years about ten years ago... Great guitar; I miss it frequently...

It was very gold.

(sry the pics are so small... I had a state of the art 3 Megapixel!!! digital camera, and carefully reduced the size of all my pictures to save harddrive space... cuz I'm an idiot...)

That's pretty cool and not a bad price for a rare prototype guitar!
