This PRS wood library Custom 24 is for sale locally in a shop. It is a blue satin quilt finish, pattern thin neck, 58/15 pickups. Honduran mahogany body, Brazilian figured rosewood board, flame maple neck, quilt maple top. Wife really likes the Whale Blue color. I'm going to go test it out at the shop sometime next week.

I know this one is going to rattle some cages, but here comes a quilty 10 top with some gold/brass hardware. :) It isn't subtle, that is for sure. I like that it looks like water.

Interesting. I had a Custom 24 years ago and never noticed anything. Anyway, I'll be sure to investigate this when I check it out.

Here's an Artist I had years ago. Had a horrible problem with wolf tones, ghost notes, whatever you want to call them. No way to totally eliminate them that I know of. Paul knew of this problem and tried to address it by making the heel bigger. It met with some limited success I think. BTW this occurs only on some of the 24 fret trem double cutaway models.

Here's a comparison of the two heels

Definitely check out the unwound strings above the ninth fret for any weirdness. Problems show up better with some higher gain sounds.

That's an exceptionally perfectly built example of a guitar that I would love someone I care for to own, although I don't want it myself. Too much bling for me, but if you like it go for it.
 
Close, but no bikini clad Vegas prostitutes. Also, probably not a poorly made import guitar "customized" with a new headstock veneer and a maple cap like Ed was selling.
I was going to make a joke about needing a bikini chick's ass as a guitar stand, but I was afraid it wasn't topical enough with Ed being dead so long. Then again, who of us can forget him?
