What's for sale?

Here we have a 100% brand new PRS Custom 24 1957 / 2008 guitar. The guitar comes with PRS hard case and is a genuine Made in the USA limited edition, numbered 223 and signed by Mr Paul Reed Smith on the back electronics plate. This guitars is nothing short of AMAZING. The tone is the BEST I have ever heard and features a 10 Top that would not look out of place on any Private Stock guitar.

We've been a PRS main dealer for years and ALL our guitars are legitimate and official UK supplied models NOT to be confused with knock off / grey import / chinese copies that many many many sellers try and fob you off with using words like "Ex Demo" or "Ex Display", unless it says it's NEW then it's second hand so make sure you pay secondhand prices for them ! PRS will NOT supply any spares or honour any warranty for any guitar purchased outside of the official UK main dealers. Pictures shown here are those of the actual guitar. BUY IN CONFIDENCE we have 100.0000% positive feedback with over 1600+ sales since 2001 and that's just on ebay...

ENHANCED SECURITY CHECKS:
It's a sad sign of the times but credit card fraud is on the increase. If you are paying by credit card please do not be offended if we ask rather probing security questions. We employ a variety of anti-fraud measures for our MUTUAL security and you may be asked to fax / email us some documents. Your lack of co-operation will slow down the dispatch. Alternatively you can visit us in store for hassle free cash / chip & pin transaction.
We always report suspects to their local police anti fraud unit.

3) PAYMENT must be received within 3 days.

ii) Faulty goods, additional note: Guitars with interpretational / subjective issues like action, tone, grain of wood, colour etc are not faults as such and therefore excluded from our Faulty Goods policy and will not be exchanged, fixed or replaced. (We could spend all day discussing the merits of high / low action. For example too low action = great for light pickers and fast players but maybe no good for other styles.
