A Custom 24 for Shred-minded Players
The Custom 24 was the first model that Paul Reed Smith unveiled to the public back in 1985. The PRS Custom 24 "Floyd" is a high-performance version of this time-tested solidbody electric guitar that's tailor-made for metal, prog, fusion, and other shred-minded players. The Custom 24 "Floyd" is built around a resonant mahogany body, which is chock-full of warmth and sustain, and is capped by a breathtaking figured maple 10-Top. You'll love the feel of this axe, thanks to its 25-inch-scale Pattern Thin hard rock maple neck and easy-playing 24-fret Gaboon ebony fingerboard. Plug into your high-gain amplifier of choice, and you'll be pummeled by an impressive array of aggressive tones, courtesy of PRS \m/ humbuckers, with a 5-way switch that unleashes a motley assortment of scorching pickup combinations, including single-coil textures. An Original Floyd Rose tremolo gives rise to frenetic whammy abuse with rock-solid tuning stability. You also get attractive natural body binding, iconic abalone PRS Birds fingerboard inlays, and tasteful nickel hardware. A durable, spotlight-ready gloss nitrocellulose finish puts the perfect finishing touch on the PRS Custom 24 "Floyd."

Top-shelf construction
PRS built the Custom 24 "Floyd" with metal, prog, fusion, and other technical players in mind. This high-performance solidbody electric guitar is centered around a resonant mahogany body, crowned by an exquisite, figured maple 10-Top. This Custom 24's hard-rock maple neck boasts a Pattern Thin shape, an updated version of the company's traditional Wide Thin neck style. The Pattern Thin neck shape is fast and comfortable — ideal for players with smaller hands or guitarists who use classical left-hand positioning, pivoting with their thumb on the back of the neck. A 10-inch-radius, 24-fret Gaboon ebony fingerboard tops this eminently comfortable neck, guaranteed to facilitate lightning-fast fretwork.
PRS \m/ pickups deliver high-gain humbucker tones
PRS-designed \m/ (short for "metal") humbucking pickups were made for heavier music styles. Factory wound at PRS, \m/ pickups incorporate ceramic magnets, giving you full, crystalline cleans. Crank 'em, however, and their increased output serves up a heart-stopping, fat, snarling, aggressive sound with crisp note articulation. This is perfect for attaining independent string clarity through high-gain amps. PRS' \m/ pickups give the Custom 24 "Floyd" the punch and power you need to deliver high-gain sonic mayhem. The Custom 24 "Floyd" includes master tone and volume knobs and a 5-way switch that unlocks an array of ear-grabbing tones, including single-coil textures. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.
Original Floyd Rose tremolo
Quite simply, there isn't another tremolo system that is as popular or desired for pitch control and tuning stability as the Original Floyd Rose. You'll nail dive-bombs, harmonic squeals, and new phrasing options with ease. The PRS Custom 24 "Floyd" offers you the construction quality and tone detail that has made the Floyd Rose brand famous. And the addition of the Floyd only adds another top-tier appointment to an already drool-worthy instrument.
