Special NGD! A gift from my wife!

[Andrew Paul]

LOVE it! Congrats on an awesome wife.



Yeah, the guitar is pretty cool, too!

LOL. Thanks brother

But I just couldn't justify snagging it at the time (or even now, frankly).

I take it you don’t like this model very much. Opinions vary, it works for me very well.

 

[Andrew Paul]

Outstanding!
I wouldn’t change a thing.
Enjoy.

Wow. Thats crazy cool. Your one lucky dood.

Thank you for your kind reply’s

There was one of these guitars at GC, used, listed poorly so it flew under the radar, going for a really good price (compared to MAP and other current used listings). But I just couldn't justify snagging it at the time (or even now, frankly).

Oh no, quite the opposite. I am totally enamoured with the idea of getting a Paul's Guitar. It's just that I have a SC594SH on back order, and I keep finding ways to spend what little extra dough I have (like the SC HB II I snagged recently), and I'd really like a Paul's in a finish other than Black Gold Wrap - it is a nice finish, but I have a P24 in Black Gold Wrap, and I like diversity in the color palette of my instruments. I "double dip" finishes only when the model is super-rare in availability and I find one for a ree-donk-u-lous price.

Like that SC HB II which is in Charcoal Burst - I have a PRS in Charcoal (my SE 277SH), so the "burst" variation is a little different, and it looks quite different in execution (the SC HBII has brown undertones from the wood). But SC HB IIs are not too terribly common, and I got it for a very nice price (IMHO). If it had been a higher price, I wouldn't have skipped over it.

Also, I promised myself I would buy fewer guitars this year, after a really good year for acquisitions in 2018, and I think I'm still doing OK.

If they come out with a Semi-Hollow Paul's at Experience 2020, my wallet / credit card will leave a super-heated trail burning through the atmosphere getting whipped out of my pocket so fast.

I could see why you slow down LOL the P 24 is definitely on my bucket list. Do you have it stop tail or with tremolo? I was looking for the “right one”, like you I don’t wanna double up on finish colors too much if I can help it. This 2018 Paul’s guitar LTD is my first black old finish. But these TCI pick ups are incredible. I wonder how the new 594 with the 5815 LT TCI pickups are.

Not to tempt you but there is a 2019 Paul’s guitar at Sweetwater, their demo guitar for a reduced price with some blemishes finished in copper with an awesome flame top. Only reason why I didn’t want my wife to get me that one was because I wanted one of the LTD models that was limited to 100.

I have the trem version. It is shown in my current avatar.

Thanks for the link - looks pretty nice - but I shall avoid temptation until well after the holidays!
