NGD - PRS Custom 22

Picked this up at GC today. What do you think of the color? The tag said "pink", but it seems more red to me. Lets call it "Salmon" instead.

Nice looking guitar! What year is that? I notice it's a rotary 5 way switch. I've got both the rotary and a linear 5 way and don't notice the rotary being any more difficult to manipulate.

I'm not even sure. I haven't looked it up yet. My CE24 has the 5 way rotary switch also. I know a lot of people complain about it but it never bothers me personally.

Very nice. Can u do a comp between the custom and your ce? Sound? Feel? Sustain?

personally I think that is a beautiful guitar. congrats on the score.

which neck carve does it have ?

Nice!

My CE24 has the rotary switch and I'm not a huge fan. I've mulled over swapping to something like the freeway switch, but just haven't got around to it. I guess that means the rotary isn't a big deal.

I think they call it the "regular pattern". I've always been more of a Gibson guy, so I would put it somewhere between a 50's and 60's Gibson neck. It is a little thicker than my CE24's wide-thin, but not too thick.

It sounds a little thicker, but pickups in the CE are maybe a tad hotter. The neck on the custom is a little thicker. Not sure yet how I feel about the non-adjustable bridge. I know that can be changed but the adjustable ones are pretty pricey. We'll see how I feel after some good play time.

Full review coming soon... I'm so busy with work I haven't had a lot of playing time yet. Hopefully this weekend.

Love the color - not pink, more like faded cherry to me, in this shot anyway.

Is it a 10 top? What year? Why is the guitar leaning on the metal case edges!?

Looks like a mid-90s guitar to me. The uncovered coils, 5 way rotary and phase one tuners make me think it's probably a 94-95-96-97 model. On the back of the headstock, what's the first digit that stands alone? IE: X XXXXX PRS Serial numbers have a year prefix, then a few digits that indicate build number and various other things.
