PRS SC245 | Goldtop (Pre-Owned)

There’s something truly timeless about a Goldtop. Instantly recognizable and steeped in history, it’s one of the most iconic finishes in the guitar world—and for good reason. It’s elegant. It’s classic. And it always turns heads.

Pair that with the equally enduring singlecut shape and you’ve got a guitar that embodies the golden era of electric tone with modern precision. The single-cutaway solidbody design has certainly proven itself over the last sixty years. Paul Reed Smith’s take on the formula stays true to its roots, with a mahogany back, carved maple top, and set-neck construction.

Little details, like the recessed control knobs and moon inlays, highlight the care and craftsmanship that PRS is known for. At under 8lbs, this one feels incredibly balanced and alive in the hands. Whether you’re chasing rich sustain, vintage bite, or silky clean tones, the SC245 delivers in spades.

If you're after a modern classic that blends tradition and innovation, this Goldtop is it.

Notes: This 2007 SC245 is in excellent condition for its
age, showing only light, honest playwear. There are a few scattered dings throughout, as you'd expect from a well-loved instrument. There is also some cosmetic clouding in the clear coat along the top edge of the mahogany body—purely visual and typical for a guitar of this era.
