Members Aske Posted February 24, 2011 Members Share Posted February 24, 2011 Cool guitar. I've never owned a Standard - always went for the flashier 10 tops, but I bet it plays great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MattACaster Posted February 24, 2011 Members Share Posted February 24, 2011 Love the simplicity of it. I'd really like to get a Custom 22 at some point. My buddy has one that I'm totally in love with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HumanFuseBen Posted February 24, 2011 Members Share Posted February 24, 2011 yum, very nice! now clean that nasty fretboard up : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chriscnb Posted February 24, 2011 Members Share Posted February 24, 2011 Very nice, I've never played a Standard. Are they basically CUs without the bling? My old 94 CE 24 was my favorite guitar I've played. Oh and clean that fretboard lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members snoz65 Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 Oh snap! Mines an '89 model with moons and the old school sweet switch. Very nice player. Yes, like a CU without the bling, so a bit darker due to the lack of maple top. All mahogany. I love the PRS trems, very stable and they feel great to me.

Members Johansolo Posted February 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 yeah the fretboard needas good clean, plus a restring/setup.i got it late last night, so only got to play with it amped up for about 15mins before i had to play unplugged ill give it a good clean tonight. im not a fan of fancy pants flame/quilt tops...ive owned a guitar like that before and i just couldnt enjoy it(i like playing my guitars not being so careful with them) but the ineveitable eventually does happens...and when it dings/ it hurts soo much more the standard 24 i got is in near mint ocndition for a 17year old guitar.my CE24 is (which you cant tell from the pics) is a well played/worn out beat up whore both are small heels and similiar necks so im stoked as ! im not too sure about hte hfs pickup thou...(which i replaced in the CE24 with a custom 5) i never was a fan of ceramic magnets.

Members StevePage Posted February 25, 2011 Members Share Posted February 25, 2011 I used to own a 1990 Standard 24 in the same colour. I too didn't really like the HFS too much and I never found a good replacement before I sold it on, though the Bareknuckle Miracle Man came close. Great guitars, wish I didn't sell mine.

I hear ya, the HFS is good for hot searing cutting high gain and not much else. I currently have a Duncan JB in my Navarro and that sounds great.

Members Johansolo Posted February 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 26, 2011 RE the dirty fretboardheres a disgusting "before pic" its was pretty bad, but my CE24 was worse when i rescued it...the frets looked like it had green/mould on it, same with my american deluxe strat, which i also rescued from some punk rocker...luckily maple fretboard was easier to clean after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members snoz65 Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 Nice work HP. You gotta wonder why anybody would sell a guitar with the fret board scummed up like that.I love the old winged tuners too. I have had two of them break in the past though. replacements aren't cheap for what they are. ....oh and straplocks FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrelusive Posted February 27, 2011 Members Share Posted February 27, 2011 I have an old Yamaha with a similarly nasty fretboard. What method did you use to clean it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Johansolo Posted February 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2011 I have an old Yamaha with a similarly nasty fretboard. What method did you use to clean it? sprayed some lemon oil on a cloth and SEVERAl scrubs (like about 1 hours worth)i should have taken a picture of the cloth after the clean...the cloth was bright yellow before...adn after it was just disgusting. ive heard bad things about lemon oil on fretboard for long term effects...but i think thats a result of people spraying it directly onto the fretboard and letting it soak in?
