Here's a quick pic I snapped on my phone yesterday:



It has a small ding on the front, and the rear of the headstock is a little messy where the machine heads have been replaced, but after a string swap and a slight setup to the way I like things, I think it'll be a great guitar :)

Looks good!   :)

I don't think I've ever seen a PRS that colour before.  It looks almost like the ultra-faded sunburst on the Peter Green/Gary Moore LP, but with a hint of "tea" colour as well.

The pic does give that impression, but in person it's more of a Dark 'Gibson' Amber colour, if that makes any sense? All the PRS' I find that are Amber look Orange, and all the Gibson DC LPs I can find in Amber look the same as this does in person.

This is the nearest I can find: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-PRS-USA-Custom-22-guitar-Amber-near-10-top-birds_W0QQitemZ230246456126QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230246456126&_trkparms=72%3A984|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 Maybe not quite as Orange as this 1, but near enough :)

That's a nice buy Brow, congratulations. The only problem for me is that it's given me GAS for a PRS Custom to complement my Singlecuts, just when I though I was GAS-free. Dammit. :wink:

Does look really nice, I always prefer the more "understated" look on prs guitars, if they have too much bling and plasticcy finishes I think they're hideous but ones like these are cool :)

Thanks :)

Sorry for the GAS, glad to be of use though ;)

Me too really.

I do like some of the fancier 1s too, but nothing OTT like the Dragon Guitars etc  :lol:

Welcome to the PRS club! Looks like a nice one.

I had a Cu22 AP stoptail with 3 way and PRS RP pickups... great sounding guitar but didn't quite mix with my playing style. Currently have a Cu24 AP rosewood neck (in need of a setup) with zebra Cold Sweats.

Cold Sweats in a Cu24 =  ^^

I really like it! I like the subtle finish too, the dark, flamed jobbies do nothing for me at all. Good score!

Eventually (when I can afford it) I think I'm going to put either a set of Crawlers or a set of Abraxas in it.

The 1s in it atm are ok, but a bit bland on clean tones
