A used 2021 PRS S2 Custom 24. Color is Whale Blue. Weight is 7.2 lbs. Neck is a little slimmer than a Gibson 50's - similar to a Fender 60's I'd guess. It's called Pattern Regular. Fretwork is flawess.

I had a thread last week about a PRS S2 Starla - that went back to the original owner after I used it for a few weeks. I decided if I was to get a PRS I wanted the Custom 24 - the original. Got an S2. I like that they are made in Maryland USA to a high standard and that you can get one that looks nice, but isn't overly showy. This one plays great and sounds even better - I've only played it with an Origin 5 through a Celestion G12H-75 fitted 1x12.

Got a reasonable deal from a LaCrosse WI guitar shop - about $700 less than a new one. Very good condition - just a little play wear. The flamed top is pretty and subtle due to the dark color, but it really pops in the sunlight seen in the last pic. This is about as flashy as I would want in a guitar.

I like that very much!
I'm not the biggest PRS Fan, but mainly because some of them are too flashy and colorful for my taste. That's not putting down the playability or the sound, I'm not too keen on the look.
Like you have said, dark blue looks really classy!
Enjoy that beauty in good health!
