New World Guitars Custom 24 ‘Deep Purple’ Limited

After the huge success of our Custom 24 'Blue Fade' Limited run last year we wanted to follow up with something just as special, collectable and desirable. After talking to PRS we came up with something that is very special.

Before Jeff sold Machinehead Music in 2006, during the 23 years he had owned the shop, he had asked Paul to make a couple of very special runs of Custom 24 Anniversary guitars . Both of these models were in a one off  'Deep Purple' finish that, at the time, was exclusive to Machinehead and invented especially for Jeff. A total of 30 pieces.

Now, in 2012, PRS have offered us another WG exclusive that we are equally excited about. We wanted Custom 24's again in a colour very similar to those old Machinehead guitars. PRS have tweaked a custom colour called Armando's Amethyst and come up with an updated 'Deep Purple' especially for World Guitars. In additon to this amazing, vibrant colour we have included some awesome custom updates to the standard 2012 Custom 24. These Limiteds will have the latest 2012 59/09 pickups with the new contoured bobbins, phase III locking machineheads, V12 finish and the latest 5 way switching.....best of all though we have had all 24 of these amazing guitars updated to the beautiful Modern Eagle Bird inlays! In addition they will also have a hand signed logo on the front of the headstock, a signed back cavity plate and a Limited run certificate.

This 'one off' limited run will be available in various versions as follows

6 x Quilted '10 Tops' with Pattern Thin necks
