Brazilian rosewood - accept no substitutes

As Bentleys are to the luxury car world, Brazilian rosewood isn't just the top tier of tonewoods, it's a black belt and Core Club membership rolled into one. Owning a guitar like the PRS Private Stock Custom 24 Retro #5315 means you have arrived. One look at its gorgeous Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and you'll have no doubt. And that's just the icing. Other choice tonewoods such as hand-selected mahogany body topped with stunning figured maple make the Private Stock Custom 24 Retro one of the coolest Custom 24 electrics we've ever seen.

PRS pickups vintage-flavored humbucker sound

Playing through the PRS Private Stock Custom 24 Retro's 85/15 humbucking pickups is a delightful experience. These custom pickups give you the sweet - yet articulate - sound and rich harmonic overtones you'd expect from vintage humbuckers. The PRS Private Stock Custom 24 Retro even sports a push/pull tone control to activate the Sweet switch just like the original guitars in the '80s. Take it from Sweetwater - these powerful pickups give your sound the perfect amount of warmth and brightness while packing a real sonic punch.

Pattern Regular profile neck feels great and plays smoothly

The PRS Private Stock Custom 24 Retro gives you a "pre-factory" inspired Pattern Regular-profile mahogany neck fitted with a Brazilian rosewood fretboard. A hallmark of PRS quality, neck shapes are, of course, critical to your playing experience. Perfected after years of prototyping, the Pattern Regular neck carve is based on Paul Reed Smith's original, pre-factory neck design - the same one used on instruments he built in the late '80s, at PRS's Virginia Avenue location. And with the old-school green ripple bird inlays and Private Stock Eagle headstock inlay, no one will mistake your axe for anything other than a PRS.

PRS Private Stock Custom 24 Retro #5315 Limited-edition Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • A world-class guitar with retro appointments and Private Stock tonewoods
  • Smooth-playing Private Stock mahogany neck and Brazilian rosewood fingerboard
  • McCarty thickness mahogany back and figured maple top deliver full tone and resonance
  • Comfortable "Pre-factory" Pattern Regular neck profile
  • 58/15 pickups deliver sweetened humbucker sound
  • Private Stock hardshell case included
