just thought before i point our guitarist towards another PRS wondered if this is for real or not? little put off by the guy calling it a "customer 24"?

and i thought that all the custom PRS's have birds on the frets?

I'd probably be a bit reluctant to part with that sort of cash based on a few photos that don't even show the full guitar and look like catalogue shots or something. Could be worth asking the guy for real pics+the serial number.

I managed to find a pic of a PRS custom 24 without bird inlays: [url="http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11352084/1985_Custom_24_Blue_Flametop_Paul_Reed_Smith_PRS.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.alibaba.com/catalog/11352084/1985_Custom_24_Blue_Flametop_Paul_Reed_Smith_PRS.html&h=332&w=500&sz=30&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=HBcMkY3aeMHknM:&tbnh=86&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3DPRS%2BCustom%2B24%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26sa%3DN"]http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h...ficial%26sa%3DN[/url]
But obviously I'm not 100% sure that one is real either because the site it's on looks a bit dodgy

I own a PRS Custom 24 myself, but the anniversary with birds in flight (different to the normal birds), customer is probably a mistype, infact I did it first time I typed it in this message, feels natural to put er at the end of custom as I type that more!

But no, moons are fine, not all customs come with birds, this one is a Cu24 with moons too.....

That's a good price for the one on ebay.

Looks good to me. You can ask the seller to send you a copy of the day's paper with the guitar.
