Hey everyone, I finally chose a new guitar! When I went to the store to buy it they told me it was a PRS 25 anniversary model custom 24, I played it and loved it so I bought it. I left it at the store so they could set it up, and I went home and looked up the guitar online. But I couldn't find the model I had just bought on the PRS website, mine had only one pop-up tone dial and a pickup selector switch while all the other PRS custom 24 25 anniversary editions seemed to have two tone dials. Also, mine was signed on the back and had a number (254). After some research I found out that they had just sold me a limited edition, 1 of 750 guitar made right before the 25 anniversary models were made! The number 254 was saying that it was 254 out of 750! They have the exact same specs as far as I can tell, and were the same price. Here's the PRS website announcing the limited edition run: http://www.prsguitars.com/news/2008/100808_5708.html. And the page where I finally figured out what I had just bought: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/PRS-Limited-Edition-19572008-Custom-24-Electric-guitar-?sku=531025. If anyone knows a lot more about PRS guitars than me and knows that there is a major difference between these and the new 25 anniversary models, please tell me! Otherwise, I'm really excited, the guitar sounds awesome, looks awesome, and overall is awesome.

Perfect buy my friend! Congratulations!
I still enjoy my PRS immensely and I´m sure you will be very happy with it!!

To be honest I had to look twice, because at the pictures you have taken you look like you were REALLY excited......but figured it out eventually (it´s a knee!)

NIIIIIIIIICE! Just a great looking axe. PRS makes some killer instruments. That guitar can become an heirloom. Take good care of it and it will last forever.
