Custom 24
it felt too long and 'flexy' to me
guitar is not up to scratch it literally gets sawed in half
the lower price will result in some missing elements
larger neck heel on the Custom 22
Pattern Thin is obviously a bit thinner
loss of hundreds of dollars off the instruments value is something
maple cap
maple neck
and a mahogany body
The neck pickup never gets muddy
PRS guitars are expensive
The price-tag is definately not for the wallet-
sales guy pulled down this Custom 22 with a stop-tail
The tuners are a bit fiddly
PRS guitars are not for everyone
scarf-jointed headstock and a heel stack
fingerboard edges lightly rolled
these guitars cover an awful lot of ground
The Santana sounds a little flappy and less distinct
neither guitar has a coil-split function
No sustain was lost in the creation of this monster either
It may not display this or other websites correctly
It does not store any personal data
the tone still lacks a bit of brightness and character
neck is slightly wider than in most electric guitars
the balance is a little bit on the modern rock's side
some lower strings below the 15th fret are a little bit hard to reach especially
