2003 Paul Reed Smith PRS Custom 24 10 Top Brazilian Limited #58 of 500 ~ Purple

Some guitars are built to be played. Some are built to be collected. And then there are guitars like this one… built to make grown PRS enthusiasts suddenly forget whatever sensible financial plan they had five minutes ago.

You are looking at a ridiculously cool 2003 PRS Custom 24 Brazilian Limited Edition, with a signed and numbered back-plate, #58 of only 500 made worldwide, dressed in a jaw-dropping Purple gloss finish over a gorgeous quilted maple 10-Top. Add in the Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay, abalone birds, hybrid gold/nickel hardware, and a weight of only 7.3 lbs… and you’ve got the kind of guitar that causes PRS fans to start speaking in serial numbers and production dates.

This one has all the right ingredients: the coveted Brazilian Limited designation, original hang tag, original paperwork, original leather Artist case, and enough visual appeal to make lesser guitars nervously scoot farther back on the guitar stand.

Condition:

She was born on September 9th, 2003. Old enough to order a drink, but still considerably better looking than most of us. 😎🎸This guitar is in excellent condition and has clearly been well cared for over the years.

There is some finish clouding/milky appearance present, most noticeably in the cutaway area, which is common on PRS finishes from this era. There is also a tiny light nick on the maple edge of the body. Neither issue affects playability whatsoever, but we always prefer to disclose everything accurately.

A fresh set of 10-46 strings has just been installed, so she’s cleaned up, dialed in, and ready for her next adventure.

Includes the original PRS Leather Artist case, original hang tag, original paperwork, tremolo arm, and case candy shown in the photos. The leather handle has been reinforced with some tape to prevent further unwrapping, because apparently even legendary PRS cases eventually decide they want a little maintenance.

If you’ve been searching for a Brazilian Limited that you can actually play without feeling guilty every time you breathe near it, this may be your opportunity. Finding one with the original paperwork, original case, and this much visual attitude isn’t getting any easier.

Whoever brings this baby home is gonna be STOKED!!
