The PRS GAS struck again! 2018 CU24

[Jbyrd78]

We will just call this one an early 45th birthday present! Lol. She's a 2018 in Black Gold Burst Wrap. Here's some glamour shots along side my 2022 model I purchased last month. The only mods I did on both of them was install Phase III faux bone tuners. Now I just need to decide if I should keep the stock 85/15's in her, or if I should drop in the set of 59/09's I have laying around in her

Nice! They look great together.
A little too close to the cat tower, though.

someone said that last night. I only took the pic there b/c of the lighting angle.

What are the differences between the 59/09's and the 85/15's?

The 8515 are more modern. The 5909 is probably my favorite PRS bridge.

So if I'm tuning down to drop C, or drop C# then I would probably want to keep the 85/15's in there?

Try the 8515, ifyou like em keep em. Good news is you already have the 5909 if you want to test drive those, too.

Beautiful guitar! I’d live with the stock pickups a while and see if you like them… you might be surprised! You’ve always got the 59/09s in reserve, and you know they’ll sound great.

Does your 2022 have 85/15? If so, swap in the 59/09's for variety. Or send them to me, I have a CU24 and a CU24 piezo both with 85/15 and would love to try out 59/09 in one of them.....

Killer guitars BTW!

Love that color.
