SHIPPING

We put a strong emphasis on fantastic shipping practices. After learning from shipping thousands of guitars, we have come up with a few shipping rules:

  1. We only ship instruments and amps with FedEx or UPS.
  2. All shipments (besides inexpensive accessories) are shipped with a signature required, no exceptions.  
  3. Instruments are packed so there is no movement in the outer box, and/or inside the case (this is the key!).
  4. Plenty of tape!
  5. Always have shipments on the truck the same (by 2pm ET) or next day.

You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order ships. Please note: Tracking numbers usually take 24 hours before they appear in FedEx/UPS/USPS systems.  All delivery changes (hold for pickup, address change, etc.) must be requested before your purchase leaves our store, otherwise, they are the responsibility of the customer.

RETURNS

You can return an item for any reason (simply just don’t like it, etc) 5 days from receipt of the item. This does not apply to international orders nor to instruments with custom modifications completed by our tech team per the customer's request (pickup change, strap button install, etc.) You will need to pay the return shipping cost and actual outgoing shipping cost (even if “free shipping” is offered), as well as applicable restocking fees dependent on your payment method.

If an item is damaged in shipping, we will always complete a return at $0 cost to you  (we will cover return shipping, and charge no restocking fee no matter the payment method, etc) AND/OR offer a partial refund to fully cover the issue. Please notify us within 48 hours of delivery if there are issues with your instrument. 

Please review our full return policy before purchasing.

1985 PRS Custom 24 Cherry Burst 1 Piece #222 Ever Made

Wait for tech notes/certificate and condition tag. Need pics of back of pickups, cavities, electronics

An incredible example of a rare 1st year 1985 PRS Custom 24 in the iconic Cherry Burst with an EXTREMELY rare 1 piece flamed maple top.

 TRADES - LAYAWAY - 0% FINANCING 

Weight: 8.1lbs

Case: This is believed to be the original case. Although some had blue interiors, it seems that many in this era had black interiors also. Construction and materials of the case are consistent with an early PRS case.

Year: 1985

Cosmetic Condition: Very good condition. Buckle rash on back. Front has a couple dings and  very small amount of fretwear mostly on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fret. Small tarnish on all hardware. Overall very good condition for an instrument of this age with expected wear for a nearly 30 year old guitar.

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR LUTHIER

Includes rare original case candy including warranty cards, winged tuner instructions, tremolo patent, and early pickup selector layout and tonal descriptions. 

A notarized authentication report is included which address the discrepancy in color name that is written inside the pickup cavity, confirming the guitar is all original and has not been refinished. 

More photos of the internals are available upon request!

TECH NOTES: Everything seems completely original. Not a screw looks out of place, everything appears to check out. Setup to PRS spec, plays cleanly across the board, and easily. Electronics have no scratching, all soldering appears to be original. 

 Nut Width: 1.65"

12th Fret Width: 2.03"

Depth at Nut: .86"

Depth at 12th: .91"

Fretboard Radius: 10"

Truss Rod Action: Single
