Last night this beaut popped up on Reverb. An early 2000s Custom 22 in mint condition. It checked all my boxes. 22 frets (there are a lot more 24s out there) and a wide/fat neck. His listing price was quite good... good enough that I didn't risk an offer. It's not a 10-top. But it wasn't priced like one either.
I'm not sure I'll see it before next weekend. It's coming all the way across country.
I'm stoked!

I had one the same color with 20th anniversary birds that I let go…I still miss it sometimes. Great score!

I like the color! Not too orange. I agree, some PRS finishes can be too fancy. That looks great, congrats. |

I believe it’s called violin amberburst.

I believe you are correct, bluzcat.
Tracking says the guitar will arrive 9/5. I’m quite stoked!

It’s here!
Awesome guitar - exactly as described by the seller. I LOVE the wide/fat neck.
These Dragon IIs are great too. I like them a lot!

After spending more time playing… I absolutely love this neck profile! The wide/fat with 10” radius feels so comfortable! I’m glad I held out for this profile. 😎

I loved that about mine also- I didn’t think I liked the Dragon IIs at the time- but probably would be fine with them today. I’m thrilled you are enjoying it!

I think I would like a wider neck on guitar but don’t know if that width would fit my smaller hands. After playing bass I can’t play a guitar with a narrow neck. That is the reason I decided to sell my Gibson SG Standard. |

I have what I consider average sized hands.

I have what I consider average sized hands. Is that a 2” neck width? Or 1.75” Hard for me to tell if it just looks large because of a small body or what? I can handle 1.68-1.75” Neck width |

An old friend/bandmate had one of the first PRS guitars back in the day that looked like that. I know it worth a bundle when he sold it (probably for a huge loss) to put stuff up his nose 😑
Enjoy the guitar Leftee, it's a beaut.

Thanks! I am.
Look at the COA, etc., this is actually a 10-Top.

That's a pretty guitar you got there, Leftee. In a sinister, birdy sort of way...

Dang! I've often looked at PRS's but I'm not a fan of them with open pickups, which was all I could find. I really like yours. Nice score!
