NGD: 2003 PRS Artist Custom 24

[LPMojoGL]

I just did one of these rare "NGD" with a Suhr Thornley Roughneck. I wanted that guitar for a good while, and was sooooo stoked to get it.
In the process of selling guitars to recoup $ and space after purchasing the Suhr, I ended up acquiring this guitar.
I never ever would've looked to buy this guitar. Not even a blip on the radar. Ended up grabbing it in a trade deal. Figured, why not, easy flip.
Duuuuude, I LOVE this guitar!!! Hate to say it, but more than the Suhr. It's me, to a T.
I feel like the universe has granted me a gift. I paid $$$ for it. But I'm bonding with it so hard. Ever have that instant "this guitar is mine" moment? Can't believe it's a freaking PRS. Ugh. Whatever, I love it.
I have the notion to put jumbo frets on it and keep it forever.

lol come on man, you love it but you want to rip the frets out?

 

[LPMojoGL]

Well, I did say, have the notion. It doesn't need it.

I did it to my #1 forever, 02 LP Classic. And I really like how it turned out. I imagine it would make this guitar even more badass.

Congrats on a sweet axe LP!!!! Living my dream! What kinda pickups you got in that puppy? It's got some bite!!!! I'd love to hear that neck pickup too!!!!

 

[SgtThump]

I have a Custom 24 that rocks too! Congrats!

 

[LPMojoGL]

I believe they're the HFS/VB set. Def has some chonk.
The neck pup is delightful. Lots of folks dont like the HFS for whatever reason, but love for the VB is unanimous.

I have a Custom 24 that rocks too! Congrats!

Thanks man!

 

[VonBonfire]

Thanks man!

I've been debating between an SE Custom 24 or a 594.....no money, so lots of time to decide!!!

Super happy for you brother! May you long enjoy it in good health!

Congrats!!!

Thanks for making a vid, always nice to hear the gear.

Just made this to compare with the Suhr Thornley Roughneck. PRS has dead strings, but still sounds good, I think.

Those both sound fantastic. Looks like you made some good choices on your recent purchases!

Congrats Bobby!!

Whenever you find a piece of gear that has 'it', it's a great day indeed.

Those are actually my favorite pickups they've ever made, and I've had all of them. They nailed it pretty much out of the gate.

I'm digging em. No plans to change em, for now.
Restrung and set it up last night. Previous owner had the trem slammed/decked. Took some finessing to get it dialed in, but now it plays slick, like melted butter!

Thank you sir! It really was an unexpected great score. Crazy how things work out sometimes.

That's what happened to me! Was doing some guitar flipping and originally was going to keep it going with a PRS I got for a crazy deal and then..... I knew I couldnt let it go - especially for the small amount I had invested out-of-pocket due to the prior flipping. I have never bonded with a PRS, but this one was instant.
