Premium 59/09 Treble and Bass pickups and 5-way switching let you elicit a stunning array of classic tones out of the luscious Custom 24.

A natural-feeling guitar that's incredibly fun to play

I have a 2008 model with the rotary switch system in this color setup and has the HFS and Vintage Bass pickups...and WOW!!! AWSOME guitar!

Anyway, great guitar, my others are a Taylor Solidbody Classic, a Taylor T5-S1 Maple Top, and a Taylor 314ce. I'm a total Taylor and PRS fanboy, they are the two finest guitar makers on the planet. Custom 24 is iconic and wonderful, highly recommend them!!! Does Praise & Worship all the way to hardcore metal with no problem...near-perfect axe. Love them. Get one!!! close [-]

Fantastic!

Music Background:
I bought one of these a few weeks ago and I am totally happy with it. It has excellent clear acoustic sounds, rock rhythms, and with the proper effects an intense Santana like lead tone that I love. I... read more [+]t arrived perfectly set up with great action. It stays in tune and is perfectly balanced. No hums or noise problems. Its much more fun to play than my Strat. The 24 frets are very helpful- I was afraid the really high notes would be too squeaky but they are not. Two full octaves provides more playing room and makes the whole guitar more comfortable. I ordered it on a Thursday morning and Sweetwater shipped it that afternoon. It arrived the following Tuesday. It looks exactly like the picture- I thought the colors might different but they are not. I was apprehensive about spending so much money to buy a guitar that I had never played, but it worked out perfeclty. I am really glad I did it. close [-]
