2014 PRS P24 Trem Leprechaun Tooth NEW

2014 PRS P24 Trem Leprechaun Tooth NEW History: I have already written everywhere about how PRS came to the P22 model, what happened, and which models were made specifically; I will not repeat myself – read my previous articles =) In 2012, along with the P22, they made a limited edition P24 with a fixed bridge, and in the following year, 2013, when people liked the model, it began to be developed by adding the PRS P24 Trem to the series – a model with a tremolo. In 2014, the series was embellished with a variety of beautiful colors – in particular Leprechaun Tooth, which was my choice. Specifications: Top Wood Carved Figure Maple (Flame or Quilt) Back Wood Mahogany Number of Frets 24 Scale Length 25″ Neck Wood Mahogany Fretboard Wood Rosewood Fretboard Inlays Birds Headstock Inlay Rosewood Headstock Veneer with Inlaid Signature Neck Shape Pattern Thin or Pattern Regular Bridge PRS Piezo Tremolo Tuners PRS Phase III Locking Tuners Hardware Type Nickel Treble Pickup PRS 57/08 Treble Bass Pickup PRS 57/08 Bass Controls Volume and Tone Control with 5-Way Blade Switch and PRS/LR Baggs Piezo Appearance: Externally, the guitar is, of course, very beautiful. I had only seen the Leprechaun color in pictures, and I liked it veeeery much, but in person, the guitar turned out to be even more beautiful. Like all recent PRSs – birds made of abalone, with ivory along the edges. Nothing superfluous, everything strictly in style. Hardware and functionality: comparing it with the Artist 5 – everything is absolutely the same, the same tuners that hold tuning perfectly, a tremolo that does not cause tuning slips. Pickups are open – the documents say P22, the website says 57/08, and I was surprised because there is no hint of vintage sound there; it seems the covers affect the sound quite a bit after all. But I will talk about the sound separately. The guitar is more diverse in functionality than any other, of course, thanks to the piezo, two outputs, and the added tremolo system and 24 frets. No matter how you look at it, this is the MOST UNIVERSAL guitar today. Just like in the P22, there are 2 separate outputs here – piezo and mix, you can play through both simultaneously, as well as record. 5-way switch, tone, volume, knob for blending the piezo with the pickups, and actually a 3-way piezo switch – top is only piezo, center is mix of pickups and piezo, bottom is only pickups. Moreover, you can mix the piezo even with the 5-way switch simultaneously, for example, blending 50% of the piezo sound with 50% of the split-coil sound on the neck! That is just brilliant. It is distinguished by greater versatility compared to the P22 – 24 frets and a tremolo. Lovers of working with the tremolo arm, and I know many of them, will be very pleased with this. In essence, it turned out to be something between a Custom 24 with a tremolo and a P22. Sound: In my subjective opinion, the P24 does not differ in sound from the P22 at all, I did not notice any difference whatsoever. For those who have not read about the P22 – I described the piezo above, these are the same LR Baggs, when recording directly to the sound card from the piezo output – you simply will not distinguish the sound from a recorded acoustic guitar – that is the phenomenon – it was not for nothing that the model was developed for 10 years. The sound of the pickups themselves – middle and highs, I would say, are on par, lows are a little lower. Quite a sharp, meaty sound on overdrive, on clean, softness can only be achieved in the neck or in the bridge by rolling off the tone a bit. The instrument is quite evil in its character and modern in sound. Here, in conclusion, I will say that a guitarist who has heard the PRS P22 and liked it, but does not know what the P24 sounds like and wants a tremolo and 24 frets – can safely look for and buy a P24, it sounds the same. Satisfaction – 100%. This guitar is absolutely new, it still smells of freshness, America, and the PRS factory)) Includes tremolo arm, case, all documents, papers, envelopes, etc. Review The guitar is in Dnipropetrovsk! You can listen to it on good tube equipment of your choice – Mesa Boogie, Marshall, Engl…. I will deliver to any point in the world
