PRS SE Custom 24 - 7-String

[EdSevered]

First, other than posting it to this thread, I have no affiliation to the Reverb link, below. Nor do I have any designs on purchasing that axe. I have enough trouble with six strings. So, as far I am concerned, if it tickles your fancy, go for it.

Now, I am no expert, but this PRS SE Custom 24, 7-String seems like it could be a pretty rare bird. Rare enough, in my mind, to throw it out here for all to see and discuss, if desired. I don’t recall anyone ever mentioning this model.

Flawless 7 string with bare knuckle pickups and a push pull tone knob. Comes with the original pickups and original hardware. The only cosmetic issues is some very light clear coat scratching that could get buffed out. This guitar plays like a gem and needs nothing

I would’ve posted the pictures only, but it’s too big a hassle to bother. Especially with how cheap digital storage is these days. It’s my own little protest.

Not that rare, was replaced in the line by the Holcomb 7 I think.

Yeah, I figured that out since posting. And here I thought I was pretty observant. Huh.

Not that rare. It was actually replaced by the SVN, and then the Holcomb SVN came along as a variation. I have the original and the Holcomb, but I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen an SVN.

The SE 7 sting is interesting. What made it not as popular was the short (for a seven string) scale length of 25’, same as standard PRS. I used to be a skeptic of that scale length till I purchased a PS 7 string with the same scale length accidentally (I thought it was a 26.5) and had no idea until I tried to tune it to drop G (the whole story is documented on a thread here somewhere )
Net net if my other se SVNs are anything to go by, quality will be great . The 25’ scale length is perfectly fine for drop A and if anything the rest of the guitar is less compromised by having a longer scale length .
Highly recommend
