I was gifted a guitar. A very special one for that matter.
It was the guitar of a young cousin of mine who passed away at the age of 18 years old.
He was one of the most beautiful human beings I have ever met and to be gifted his guitar (which he won at a ghost pepper eating competition) is one of the few worldly possessions that I hold very dear to my heart.
I'm insanely curious to know everything about the guitar, yet when I reached out to PRS, they didn't have all the information I was looking for. They gave me some of the specs but apparently it was a limited edition that was released overseas. I'll post below what one of the representatives at PRS told me, however any additional information would be more than welcomed. Honestly I have yet to find one EXACTLY like it. There are similar looking ones, but the headstock color isn't the same. If anyone has ANY information on the origins of this guitar. Please let me know.
All the very best,
Erik

"I do not have a specific model name for this guitar. It’s a Custom 24 with a quilt maple veneer top, which was likely built for an overseas market, which is why you’re having a hard time finding information on it. Unfortunately, my records do not indicate what the intended market for this guitar was. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!"
"It looks like an Aqua, or Blue Matteo. Unfortunately, my records for these SE Guitars aren’t fully detailed, so I cannot confirm. I hope this is helpful!"
"This looks like a limited run of SE Custom 24’s from 2018. It featured a maple top with a quilted veneer, mahogany back, maple neck with bound East Indian Rosewood fretboard, quilted headstock veneer, with 85/15 “S” pickups and a tremolo."
