Spotlight - 2008 PRS CU24

[RVA]

This is my Artist Package PRS Custom 24 with HFS/VB pickups. It is wired with separate push pulls for series/split and I ditched the 5-way rotary for a 3-way toggle like the PRS McCarty line has. I was bored, so I included a boring sound sample, although I am very happy with the nice spice the subtle slapback from my new Flashback adds to the mix (thanks again Big Daddy!).

Also, as you can see in some shots, I went wireless recently. I will save that for another thread.

VERY adjustable. Separate push-pulls and everything

 

[Tony M.]

That guitar is very pretty.

 

[Tony M.]

By the way, I like that you make your sound clips with a clean sound
so we can hear the actual sound of your guitars instead of the sound
of some dirt pedal or some overdriven amplifier. Way to go Ray!

Thats a really nice looking geetar there RVA. Always loved the bird fret inlays.

 

[RVA]

Thanks Tony and Johnny. It is a nice player. Ebony FB and what PRS calls a "Wide Thin" neck.

I do. I re-planed the fretboard and re-fretted that one myself. It even has gold PRS McCarty Archtop pups in it. What you got?

 

[eSGEe]

Nothing that fancy--- hell the pups are worth more than I spend on a whole guitar lol

I will add it to your section of the will.

Ebony FB...

I guess the camera flash highlights the ebony's pores and faint reddish striping, to the point that it looks like rosewood to me.

Beautiful guitar. Outlined bird inlays are super cool...

 

[eSGEe]

I would offer a Peavey----(EXP style not a USA) but you "F" Peavey any way ---so----the WILL ---will have to do

 

[Tony M.]

Both of my Miras have dots.
I like the birds but the dot miras
played too good to not buy them.

Mira's are solid guitars. I would have liked to get a guitar with "moons", but at the time, birds were the corky preference and I bought in hook, line and sinker!

 

[Tony M.]

Yes.
You have way too many birds.
What you need is an EBMM guitar and a Supro amplifier,
neither of which you have in your armory at this time.

That's a real beauty guitar RVA! I take it that's an ebony fret board...that's a bonus. I love the feel of an ebony FB which I have on my Gibson SG. I've always liked PRS guitars and their design. Carlos Santana sure put the PRS guitars on the map in the 80's. I have a vinyl sound sheet I got from a guitar magazine back in the late 1980's of Santana playing a song called "Blues For Salvador" which he plays on a PRS. He sure gets great tone from that guitar.

Thanks! They are pretty awesome. I think Paul reed Smith snuck into a show and stuck one in Santana's hands and the rest is history

Very nice. I dig that a lot.
