FT - 1987 PRS Custom 24

th2017

For trade, 1987 PRS Custom 24

Original 35 year old PRS custom 24 guitar. Original virginia avenue factory guitar -Lovely Flame maple top - Brazilian fretboard with moon inlays -small neck heel - original sweet switch and pickups - original hard case

The guitar has some nicks and dings, the most noticable being on the lower side of the body, with some nicks to the front, and buckle rash to the sunken nitrocellulose to the rear.

At some point someone has fitted strap buttons to the rear and holes can be seen in the image.

Consider trades for 24.5-25" scale 22 fret guitars, twin humbucker

All brands considered but something interesting

Hard tails only, no trems

What’s the trade value?

Roland

As a reminder of the rules: You must post an asking price or ideal trades. “Something interesting” doesn’t qualify.

Apologies

preference for twin humbucker, set neck guitars without trem

eg 335 or other hollowbodies, Mira style electrics

Original this would be 3k range, would value at 2k approx trade value

That's my thread from 2020. Three years, how time passes!! 

I actually think I withdrew it from the forum and sold it elsewhere but ended up going to a member anyway. 

So tempted to have this back as it's the bargain of the decade.

Lovely weight, great feel from the neck and very rare factory pickup combo.

Yes I bought it from bgmartinsbridge.  Its priced sensibly and I'm in Northern Ireland, but happy to ship with DHL

(my preference) and can post any videos etc.

Lovely guitar, but as with so many things in life its sat on a stand looking lovely, but not played in the way it should be
