From Our Research Team:

A Classic Paul Reed Smith Custom!

The PRS Custom 24 is the original PRS, enjoying an esteemed place in the expanding PRS lineup. The 2011 version is a beautiful, playable instrument that sounds as good as it looks. It features a breathtaking carved flame maple top paired with a solid mahogany body finished in PRS's superb V12 finish, a 24-fret mahogany neck with an amazingly comfortable Pattern Thin neck carve, and a rosewood fretboard with bird inlays. 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
The PRS Custom 24 is one of those guitars you just can't put down. PRS enjoys a well-deserved reputation for marrying sonic mojo with mouth-watering visuals and outstanding playability, and they've done a their usual outstanding job with the 2011 Custom 24. Go ahead - pick it up and start playing. Just make sure you don't have anything to do for the next few days.

Eye-catching appointments make this guitar a real looker
With its flame maple top, just-right mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard with abalone bird inlays, and tone monster 59/09 humbuckers, this Custom 24 looks stunning and responds to your every creative whim. Go from mellow chord voicings to liquid fire with a twist of your pinkie. Get your musical message across with the PRS Custom 24.

PRS V12 finish feels like nitro and protects like acrylic
The PRS Custom 24 is finished in a stunning PRS V12 finish. If you're seeking vintage vibe with a sophisticated edge, your search ends here. Over a decade in the making, the PRS V12 finish blends the thin, resonance-enhancing characteristics of a nitro finish with the non-cracking reliability you expect from a modern acrylic finish. It has a classic feel all its own, and makes your axe feel like a well-worn instrument - one that will stay flawless-looking for years to come.

being the proud owner of four prs guitars, (a fifth on the way), i've become used to (and expect) the superb sound, beauty, and feel that make prs guitars one of, if not the most, desired, sought afte... read more [+]r and respected guitars of the last couple decades. once again, i am not disapointed. i love my fenders and i won't diss them. the custom 24, with it's natural feel, playability, and variaty of great sounds is among, ( if not) the best. although it' a little pricey, it's worth it, and i would put up against any guitar twice the price! i think after a point, it becomes glamour and prestigue, and thats ok. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. if you have one, you know what i mean, if you get one , you will not be disapointed. 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 [-]
