PRS "Brazilian" Custom 24

[rnodern]

Came across this on ebay. Looks interesting. The one thing that troubles me, is that i've never seen a PRS with the word "BRAZILIAN" on the head stock. Is this legit, or after market or possibly even a scam? if it's a fake it is VERY good.

Legit. I love mine!

Looks legit to me, and very close to home too! I don't see enough PRS around Melbourne - you're going to have to buy this and help me spread the word

Also to note, pretty cool to have an old piece of Braz RW out in Australia. Especially with CITES issues.

Somebody should jump on that.

just chatting to the seller.. can't hurt trying to knock a bit off
3500 AUD is around 2600 USD.

Worth it?

I also have a custom 24 in identical colour and similar vintage.. better top too, IMO

Unfortunately the cost of postage to Adelaide will rule me out

No need to negotiate ..... pop it in your cart, use the discount code and get 5% off the bat. That's a saving upfront of $175 ..... no excuses now!

There are now 17 watches - I would guess most from this forum so the seller may think there is inflated interest.

Yours looks hot! As for whether it's worth $2600 US, I'd say yes. Seems like a pretty good price. Lower would be better though!

I got mine for $2000 from a pawn shop in Colorado

Definitely! My best find ever while trolling pawn shops. Blue Matteo, quilted top, and natural back. I chased that exact guitar for a looooooooong time until I could finally afford it. That one is never leaving my possession.

Great guitars. I have 3 of the Brazilian series. Two Custom 22s and a McCarty that sounds killer.
