dem00n Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Cool and all but near the bottom of the guitar the quilt gets to big and kinda ruin the burst. Just what i think.
69 Son Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Thyat is gorgeous. I had a highly-flamed 1995 Custom 24 (wide-thin) w/ birds in that color that I sold in 1999. Traded a Martin D-28 for it. Here locally PRS guitasrs are selling dirt cheap recently, regular Customs on CL can be had for $1200-1500.
NeoConMan Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Beautiful RM! Yeah, PRS isn't really moving in the Phoenix area from what I see over the last two years. I dunno.
ChanMan Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Sorry man... I've only seen one charcoal guitar that I cared for. Mostly they look like someone varnished a piece of burnt wood to my eye. Glad you found a guitar that strikes your fancy, though!
Jeff-7 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I like it, PRS has always seemed to have a very low resale value (compared to original purchase price) for some reason.
sparky scott 29 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Get yourselves some black lighting, and sit back dude...
pippy Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I know I'll be very much in the minority on this but I think that guitar looks utterly horrible. There is absolutely nothing about that top and finish I like. I'm certain it will be a wonderful player, though... P.
daveinspain Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 The burst is too chunky for me. I'm more for the R9 type bursts, subtle beauty...
EVOL! Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I know I'll be very much in the minority on this but I think that guitar looks utterly horrible. There is absolutely nothing about that top and finish I like. I agree. Not a fan of quilted tops or fancy bursts. But, hey, to each his own.
Californiaman Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I for one like quilt tops, flamey necks, and beautiful paint jobs.
Witmer Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I like the wood and finish... but are those gold pickup covers?
rocketman Posted January 25, 2011 Author Posted January 25, 2011 I like the wood and finish... but are those gold pickup covers? Yep, they are brushed gold plated pickup covers. I always like to hear everyone's opinions. Thanks for the comments. Interesting set of tastes here...
NeoConMan Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 When I ordered my 20th Anniversary, I deleted the gold. Pics in link below. WARNING - The quilted Maple top has been known to make drunks in the audience dizzy. (Women have asked me if it was "real" wood...)
Tim Plains Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I always like to hear everyone's opinions. Thanks for the comments. Interesting set of tastes here... Are you considering buying it or is this just a general opinions thread? It's the exact same as the one you already have and there's no point in owning two of the same guitar. I owned a Charcoalburst SC245 for a while and it's a really strange colour in person. The natural colour of the maple comes through the black finish at times and looks almost fleshy. That's a beautiful quilt top but I wouldn't buy another guitar in that finish if given the choice. I still like mine better.
Wildkat57 Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 PRS = Waaay over priced in my book... I tried a bunch of them a year ago - could not find one that felt good or sounded right. I will stick to my Les Paul. But I hope you will enjoy it.
bluzhammer Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I have a Custom 24 and never could adjust to the 5 way rotary knob. I had it replaced with a push pull pot , worked much better for me.
NeoConMan Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 I have a Custom 24 and never could adjust to the 5 way rotary knob. I had it replaced with a push pull pot , worked much better for me. Factory-installed McCarty switching on mine...
rocketman Posted January 26, 2011 Author Posted January 26, 2011 Are you considering buying it or is this just a general opinions thread? I'm not considering buying it. I just loved the way it looks and wanted to share. The responses have been fun. I like yours too...
