PRS Custom 24 Birds

Manufacturing USA.
A great handle 24 cases, fine and fast
Two microphones of the brand, with a huge potential 5-way switch.
The volume and tone knobs are very reactive and sensitive guitar playing to different intensities

9/10 because perfection does not exist

UTILIZATION

I repeat round of thunder. Access to acute is qu'aisé.
The guitar is quite heavy but very well balanced.
The sound palette is huge, hard to not find something, whatever the style attack. From blues to metal, anything goes.

Even 9/10 to stop the body that shears a little forearm at the beginning ... then, adjusting its position and it passes.

SOUNDS

It suits my style of music, from classic rock to metal close.
The sounds are warm (mahogany forces), and the power of microphones is very good (I have a Lag with active pickup, it is far from having the same power and much less the quality of the PRS .... although LA is already a good scratch)

I only play on the pedal (no pedals) and if possible analog. HT distortion dual tube, Vox Night Train amp head and as a Marshall 1912 cabinet.

I love all the sounds with this guitar ... I have 4 years, it's always a pleasure to play with .... I raves whenever I take!

OVERALL OPINION

Before I had a BC Rich Warlock, a Ibanez JS1200 ... I currently have a Fender American California and Lag Roxanne. I wanted to complete my chain in 2009 with a small versatile guitar ... budget € 600. Unfortunately, the seller made me try the PRS Custom 24 .... love at first touch. I tested during week long many other guitar but the damage was done, it was this one and not another .... € 2,000 more than expected (on a model expo) ... no regrets, a real treat!

Bought second hand almost new
U.S. guitar, 24 frets, neck thin enough, 1 tone, 1 volume, 5 positions rotocontacteur
HFS bridge pickups in vintage bass neck,
prs bridge in 2 directions, very nice translucent red appear leaving the wood, rosewood fingerboard, mahogany body, maple neck maple glued.
The frets seem to wear out less quickly than the EC22
the box is made to adjust with all the guitar parts and more small, very well seen.
Beautiful silver fittings a little sensitive to moisture and corrosion,
at this price it's not pretty nice of them.
A point less Patatrac

UTILIZATION

The handle is excellent but a little thin for my big hands hands
as the EC 22, everything is obvious, it seems to have a watch movement, perfect finish, not too heavy, balanced, I have had many guitars but none made me such a print, I bought another PRS and a Music Man, since I preferred the handle of the EC22 or godin, but it's still a treat with super low action
A touch of luxury when small sparrows is wonderful!
good access to acute

Two small flats,
1) The rotocontacteur death, but you get used to it's very difficult to ever know visually what position you are, it takes a little practice, you turn one goes to fund and back positions, as one sequential gearbox lol, but after a while nothing's ear we know where we are, in short, you get used to.
2) The volume you can touch playing with the right hand and is very loose, so be careful (good for violoning on the other hand).

The locking system of ropes was revised compared to earlier models and is perfect
least one point for the handle tight but we made it, and rotobidule

SOUNDS

As for the EC22 cu24 is a versatile guitar, fender gibson mix but with a personality PRS what more she can do anything, jazz, rock, metal, country, musette, rumba,
5 sounds more personal than the EC22 dragons are more neutral and goes everywhere HSF and vintage bass pickups what mama mia!
1 micro Rons serious enough known to be jazzy, excellent in rock and hyper precise, stands whatever the level of saturation. more aggressive than the dragons, but what a beauty, a great character without invasive low
February 1st his fender highly crystalline
3 two doubles plus comes in, sustain excellentissime
4 sound via fender (without breath) and 10 times better saturated, accurate and balanced. No loss of level as on other guitars splitted (eg musicman)
5 the bridge pickup even more beautiful than angry dragon sustain a beautiful, outgoing lot more. everything is natural on this guitar even hyper saturated it does not lose any defined
No significant drop in level between sounds, no breath;

I forgot the button tone, very progressive, from the stifled crystalline well
As the volume, even if it turns a little easier and a little in the way of my right hand
it is a model of its kind, is set on the amp saturation is going to sound clear saturated with nothing but the sound volume without sagging, in short everything was on hand, we forget the amp, all is there.

nothing to throw everything is excellent at whatever level, saturation, sustain is, its accuracy is amazing.

OVERALL OPINION

used for 3 years, this is my guitar, which makes the concerts, the one in whom I trust the brief darling.
It sounds beautifully, has character, it is versatile, not a vague sinking split sound, it is beautiful and a perfect finish, excellent sustain (set neck) (better than the EC22 is a treat
In case it is a secondhand, given its quality. The price in France is expensive but it is a good piece of high quality. a great personality.
Everything seems clear on this guitar.
I buy a day if I could afford it.
For those who hesitate EC22 is excellent and the most happening everywhere, cu 24 is most excellent and beautiful as (the birds are very successful).
Neither one nor the other are in their box.
