Lets see those PRS's

Theres an hb spruce locally i can get but i wouldnt use it enough to justify the expense. Nice guitar.

I have my first custom 24 i need to dig up. I think thats it for core? Had 4 se’s and my s2 as well.

This is my Custom 24 Piezo. I liked it when I got it, but now that I’ve had it for a few months and done some recording with it, it’s becoming my number one. I have a couple SEs too, which are nothing to write home about, but this thing’s pretty stupendous.
 
As an Opeth fan in high school, this was my white whale. My S2 was a nicer guitar in weight, playability and tone so I sold it.

Bought and sold a 1/100 build for under $3k CAD... wish the sale didnt fund a transmission replacement on my car...

I'll play along... I loved when GC would take boudoir photos of their 'Platinum' gear, back when that was a thing.

Had this since 2013, as a present to myself for when I passed my licensure exam for my career. Notta 10-Top.

1987 pre-production Paul Reed Smith CE24

In 1987, Paul Reed Smith built a limited number of market test guitars at the Annapolis, MD facility, to gauge how marketable a bolt-on neck PRS guitar might be. I assume they sold well because the CE24 followed very soon after. This one is serial number 87. I bought it new at a friends music store in Northern Virginia within hours of its arrival, and I've been playing it ever since.

There's a brief mention of these guitars in a 'History of Paul reed Smith Guitars' book that I have, but not a lot of information was provided. A call to PRS in the mid-2000's didn't yield much more. Records pertaining to them were lost in a fire at the Annapolis facility long ago.
