I've just never bonded with my 2004 Custom 24/ Blue Matteo/ Really tight Quilted Artist Package/ Standard Neck Carve. She weighs in at 7 lbs 14 oz.(According to a digital fishing scale).
She's "as new" as they come. Others call her mint, but I don’t use that term. A solid 9.8-9.9 of 10. I have some gold/abalone knobs on her & will include original knobs, some gold pickup rings & all case candy in the special Presentation leather case. Never gigged & probably has less than 10 hours on her. I'm starting to get a stiffy for some other guitars & can't see having this & not playing it. I ordered & bought her new myself, when the retail was about $4,880 with the quilt artist pack costing $1680.
I’m thinking that by posting it on this & a couple other forums, thinking I might actually get a fair price for it I've attached some lousy pics to give you an idea just how pretty she is. I WILL consider trades & trades plus cash to me. I can’t afford to add any cash at this time. I’m particularly interested in a 513(Maple top or possibly a Swamp Ash), 408, even a CE or 2 plus cash or some other special PRS. Other brands will be considered, but I do have a taste for the unusual & the beautiful…yes, I can be shallow, hehe! Surprise me! You never know, but serious offers/questions only, OK? I’m not desperate & don’t need to sell. I’d just rather have something I’d use more. $2250 is the asking price & trade value. I have plenty of references too!
The preferred contact method is email to :
1sleepingtiger@gmail.com . PMs will be answered, but email is faster!
Just to clarify, I'm leaning towards another PRS, but all reasonable offers will be considered. Preferences are Korina, swamp ash or mahogany W/ maple body, double cutaway, nickel/chrome hardware, trem preferred, but you never know what will grab me!

Thanks-in-Advance,
Tony
PS – I LOVE KORINA & I’ve got a hankering for something purple!!!
