Just purchased this with the intent on keeping it. Tied of buying and selling. This is a fatback Custom 24 PRS.

If I could only have one guitar, it would be my #1 PRS Custom 22, no question.
Had it over 20 years and it's one of the best guitars I've ever played.

I had one of the USA PRS bolt-on models that was nearly as great as my ESP Mirage Custom. If I could only own one, I'd have a hard time deciding. My USA Jackson Soloist was great, but it didn't have the sound of the Mirage.
 
Past = Custom Shop KV1 (korina) I had built in early 2000 but had to sell
Always Wanted = Ken Lawrence Explorer
 
I can't decide between the custom Spector basses I had built. It would be between the fretted or the fretless. How important are frets, really?

Thats a tough one when you own a bunch of masterbuilts and custom shops.Not an easy decision.Having said that,I could live with this custom select, it covers a lot of tonal ground..one guitar..one hard decision

My Norlin 1976 Les Paul Custom. 10.7 lbs and it makes my 2019 standard sound like a toy.

Fully refretted with Jescar jumbo and it plays like butter.

I’ve got a 1980’s Duncan Custom going in the bridge soon with an OEM Gibson gold cover I plan to install to it after it gets scraped and scuffed up a bit to match the current T-top bridge. I’m keeping the T top neck pickup.

I love my current guitars, had several for a while. But I guess I’d have to say my Ibanez PGM301, I’ve had it the longest, almost 20 years I guess. It just fits like a glove, plays like butter and I’ll never let it go.

Your '76 Custom has a maple neck, same as my '78 Custom did. I've owned many mahogany and maple neck guitars over the years, and all of my favorites had a maple neck. I recently sold two Wildwood Spec R7's and a '00 GT Deluxe... Nice guitars, no balls.
 
I've been rocking this one for almost 20 years now. My first guitar was a used 1974 Les Paul Custom. So without a doubt I would take a Les Paul.

I had to send the '87 ESP Mirage Custom back to the seller. He didn't pack it properly, which resulted in damage to the headstock. :mad:
