UTILIZATION

PRS handle very nice, the guitar is fairly light and access to acute is easy.
The mechanics are very well thought since we have a mix of mechanical lifts wraps and bath oil, therefore, very good performance tuning, easy to make changes ropes and longevity of mechanical time a treat!
A downside to the switch PRS wants inventive and discreet, this is a volume knob or tone has notched five positions that can disrupt early but not worth point less because it is very well placed and once mastered, much more reliable than other types of selectors.

SOUNDS

Very versatile, Pop, Jazz, Rock, Metal (my main use), blues or variety, it covers all styles by igniting other fenders and gibsons the way.
The pickups are hot, while maintaining clarity, precision and aggression, which gives them this versatile side.
Drop in or tuning down, microphones do not lose precision.
Electronics very well cared for (hopefully for the price) guaranteed no hiss or buzz!
I stopped there on the sound as it is praise of PRS, it's upscale, it is no surprise especially, this is THE best guitar that I could play!
Maintenance tuning vibrato perfectly in all situations. I also was impressed by the speed of the vibrato setting after changing the strings AND the shooting, about 5 minutes flat. (Many guitarists will agree to say that it is a nightmare to change pulling a guitar vibrato ...).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one full month but I would have to post an opinion because it is excellent!
I tested many (many) guitar models, all brands, all ranges without comparison.
I use a combo of Spider IV 75 and line 6 in ... MIRACLE! My problem with repeated feedback that I had with my gibson SG disappeared. I also have a Mesa Single Rectifier Rect-O-Verb Mesa Roadking Cab with, what delight!

=> No I would not put the price in the negative because the price is indeed justified (even if the quality costs an arm ...)

To redo this choice, I would have no longer have this guitar in my possession now, I do not sell it one day.

Prs Custom 24 - 25th anniversary in 2010.
Floyd floating in PRS. 57/08 pickups.
Set Mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard. One piece mahogany body.
24 frets, one volume knob, one tone, a micro rotary selector 5 positions!

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, got used to it pretty fast even if you're used to the sleeves flat and fast (like Ibanez or Jackson), which was my case.
Very good gameplay, access to the last fret is pretty easy.
And in regard to its "must see". It is a very versatile guitar, we get a big sound very punchy pickups in acute, as sound clean or less clean on other positions, there is something for all tastes.
The only downside: the rotary knob, you really have time to get used to it, it is less pleasant than the conventional switch, hence the 9 / 10.

SOUNDS

Making progressive rock-metal, this guitar fills my needs well. I use a Mesa Boogie Triaxis home. I appreciate very distos particular, it is both defined and very powerful, the microphones on acute low compression. Sounds clean and level, the hardest .... is the choice of pickups (they all sound so good ^ ^).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a year, I tested many guitars of the same caliber in the U.S. (it's so cheap there!) Old Gibson, and PRS musicmann mainly. I train but without a shadow of regret, I chose it!
Level quality / price ratio, I find it sad in France ... 4200 euros in the store, it's very, very bad, we must not abuse even if it's beautiful machine! No choice if we want the U.S. must be tested and buy there, in addition, it takes you ...

It is a PRS Custom 24 25th Anniversary, this guitar is really well done a perfect violin really impressive definition as regards the micro 57/08 was a sound ranging from fender to gibson.

UTILIZATION

What impressed me is the lightness of this guitar, access to treble is really perfect

SOUNDS

Plug the guitar on a fender twin reverb and you get amazing sound clarity of strength to add a little chorus and there you escape the planet Mars .... Plug in a 100 amp Soldano herd it turns into a beast of metal .........

OVERALL OPINION

I think it is a compromise between the fender banging and highly crystalline and very powerful sound gibson ..... A great lady of the guitar

OVERALL OPINION

SUPERB guitar, I thought in the past that the PRS was overrated reputation not to mention the prices!
But now, Happy privileged possessor of the precious, I must say that there is guitar and guitar.

We just have to go look on the table to enjoy every finish, every detail, you realize very quickly the high quality and great care taken in manufacturing in PRS.

What about the grip, the handle is fine, slippery and soft key states, the table a bit unbalanced because of the 24 carcasses (things that recently when playing seated only).
The tuners are flexible and precise, not to mention the beautiful curves of the table as shiny as a mirror.

The mail is not left you can do everything on this guitar (the little flat the 5-position rotary switch impractical for a quick change of micro to take a shot, no doubt)
Between the various distinct positions and control the volume and tone found necessarily very nice combination that transports us to unknown directories.

Professors come and join this marvelous complement to another goddess in my rope Start over.

I miss him now more than 20 years of experience on the CE24 to appreciate the investment.

Professors are elitist guitars that costs € 4200 (I found mine at the rate of 3400 € by negotiating without too)
But I see now my decision is not overdone.
Like all instruments of the passion PRS guitars are exceptional guitars luthier with a "soul".
