NGD #3: PRS Cu24 Wood Library Blue Fade

[technomancer]

Last but certainly not least of my late NGDs is a PRS Cu24 Wood Library Blue Fade. The guitar is part of a PRS Wood Library run done by Music 49, the Dirty Baker's Dozen. I saw the pics of this and decided I couldn't let Matt have all the fun with the PRS fades

I absolutely love this guitar, and if I could afford it I'd be picking up two of the other colors from the same run to go with it

WOAH!! I love everything about this guitar!! Like seriously! The top, the color, the neck, the headstock, the inlays.

Gorgeous man!

GOD DAMN IT!!!! not again!

 

[MetalDaze]

I guess the back of the headstock means no international buyers should you ever sell?

That fade is killer. A nice eye pleaser after seeing buttloads of bursts.

 

[Dawn of the Shred]

Congrats and hngd #3! Damn your on a roll

 

[itsallinmyh3ad]

Not helping with my PRS gas, man! Congrats!

 

[DISTORT6]

You had me at paisley case...
NICE! again

[Jake]

Holy shit! Damn that's amazing. Everyday I contemplate seeing how much the PTC would charge me to refinish my SC245 to either blue or charcoal...might do it eventually. Congrats!

 

[djpharoah]

Damn Steve... giving me gas like nothing.

 

[MFB]

You need to get a manlier case for that thing STAT.

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

You're going to have to stop posting pics of your super hot guitars. This is my third heart-attack I've got from your guitars ^_^

 

[VonKebbels]

That is an insanely pretty guitar! HNGD!

 

[HighGain510]

If I didn't already have the 408 AP in this same color I would have taken this one home, one of the best tops and fades from the run for sure! Looks great and I know first-hand that pickup config sounds badass!

 

[chassless]

stop it man, i'm already pretty broke as it is

 

[DISTORT6]

You need to get a manlier case for that thing STAT.

You just don't understand the PRS paisley case.

 

[DakiEnt]

Wow, that fade, makes me want to go swimming. HNGD!

 

[mphsc]

Maybe my fav of the three, congrats Sir.

 

[technomancer]

Thanks everybody, absolutely loving this guitar.

GOD DAMN IT!!!! not again!

I'm done for a bit... I think

I guess the back of the headstock means no international buyers should you ever sell?

Yeah CITES means brazy rosewood does not cross international borders

Holy shit! Damn that's amazing. Everyday I contemplate seeing how much the PTC would charge me to refinish my SC245 to either blue or charcoal...might do it eventually. Congrats!

WAY too much. IIRC they were charging $1k for a normal refinish, I don't even want to think about what a fade would cost. You'd probably do better checking with some of the finishers out there that are former PRS employees

You need to get a manlier case for that thing STAT.

Bah the PRS Paisley cases are awesome... though I would not turn down one in the new Black Paisley they started offering on amps

If I didn't already have the 408 AP in this same color I would have taken this one home, one of the best tops and fades from the run for sure! Looks great and I know first-hand that pickup config sounds badass!

You can't have ALL the nice fades I just wish I had the cash to grab the really sweet orange and green ones from this run

Maybe my fav of the three, congrats Sir.

There is honestly not one of these three that isn't awesome. I've been pretty much rotating between the three since I got them.
