I fell in love with the PRS custom 24. Never even heard of Paul Reed Smith until I saw this guitar, and the guitar smokes! I didn't get to play the EVH art series (guitar center couldn't find one for me), but I hoped it would have sounded as good as the PRS.

That's a nice one, Scotty. I hope you really like it. Your post had me checking out some of the Custom 24s hanging in the music store I teach at today.

I think they're great. And I still love the philosophy behind a quality USA-made guitar. They just aren't that comfortable for me to play--the weight distribution and neck width, contour, finish, etc. I suppose I could get used to one over time, but I'm SO into an unfinished neck (like the Wolfgang), asymetrical shape, and 1 5/8" nut, it's hard to adapt to anything else.
Maybe someday!
Yes, yes... it is indeed a beautiful guitar to look at all googley-eyed, but PLAY THAT DAMN THING!

I played a couple of Peavy Wolfgangs when I was shopping around. I did like the Wolfgangs too. But the PRS fit me better and the sound seemed to have more range. I was playing metal to blues with a turn of a dial. If only there were more hours in the day for playing guitar!!!
I went to your website. I dig the wolfgang project you have there. Great guitar! I'm gonna have to get a wolfgang someday....
Do you use a D-tuna on your Wolfgang?Last edited by ScottyBHarris; 05.10.07 at 09:15 AM.

I own an '86 Custom 24.
It's an incredible guitar, but I have to agree with AndrewThomas.net ...
The scale length does sorta makes it feel sorta unbalanced and "long" IMO.
Still my '86 is a rare bird and I'll never part with it.
