It sounds crazy, but during Guitar Show 2026, Jack Higginbotham came up to me and said, “I built this one, and it’s exactly identical to my 1986 guitar!” What can I say, of course I had him autograph it!

As usual, I always try to offer rare pieces in incredible condition!

This Standard looks like it just came out of a time machine: 40 years old, guys!

It sounds absolutely killer!

1987 means Brazilian rosewood — and we love that!

This is not just a guitar — it’s a piece of early PRS Guitars history.

The golden early years in Annapolis; this Standard 24 represents everything that made PRS legendary: craftsmanship, tone, and vision.

The Standard features a solid mahogany body, giving it a warmer, woodier, more focused midrange voice — incredibly resonant and alive in your hands. Plugged in, it delivers that unmistakable late-’80s PRS character: clarity, punch, and sustain for days.

The early T & B pickups paired with the classic 5-way rotary switch offer a wide tonal palette, from articulate cleans to thick, singing lead tones. Whether you’re chasing vintage rock, fusion, or expressive high-gain sounds, this guitar responds effortlessly!

Completely untouched, even the electronics are original, and it comes with the original case!

**The guitar can be safely shipped worldwide with express shipment: ask for info and costs for your country before place offers or orders: insuring a shipment will cost 1% of the instrument’s value.

Please check the pictures and check all lightwear sratches, dings, scuffs, buckle belt rush, ecc.. , read the description with care and ask me everything before placing the order: I'm not a store but a private collector and seller.

Feel free to ask for other pics and questions. 

Be aware that humidity, temperature, and handling can affect guitars such that adjustments to the instrument might be needed post-shipment. 

If tweaking action, intonation, etc. or having the instrument set up to your specs is not something you are comfortable with doing yourself, you will need the help of a local-to-you tech/ professional. Note that any associated fees incurred for their time and labor will be your responsibility.
The item you receive will function as written in the description, include all the parts/accessories as written in the description, and will be the same item that is photographed.

Because I deal with many vintage instruments, there can always be a chance that the playability and cosmetic condition are not exactly what you were hoping for: it is your responsibility to contact me with any questions or concerns before purchasing.

Most of my items have an inspection sheet included with the photos. If I made an error in my description and you are not satisfied with the item, then contact me within 48 hours of receipt and get it back to me 7 days after receipt. You will have to pay for return shipping. If the item is in the same condition that I shipped it in, I will grant you a full refund of the original purchase price only.

I do not give partial refunds: I do my best to describe and photo each item.

All items are sold as-is.

Ask all questions beforehand.

I love gear and I'm musician and love that each piece has a story behind it. I treat these like works of art. I love my customers. Seriously, I love learning more about you and your creative ventures. Let me know more about yourself!

I ship FAST! And by fast, I mean sometimes the same day of of the sale, most commonly within the next one or two business days: I buy stuff too, and I know what it's like to want to get your hands on your new gear!
