Iconic PRS Tone and Feel

The PRS SE Custom 24 solidbody electric guitar puts the sound, playability, and gorgeous looks of the Custom line into a more affordable instrument. The SE Custom 24's mahogany body and maple top now feature a more traditional "violin" body carve, giving it the feel of top-level Custom 24 guitars. A pair of 85/15 "S" pickups delivers a wealth of superb humbucking or single-coil tones. Its maple neck features a Pattern Thin shape for comfortably fast playability, and the ebony fretboard is adorned with old school Birds inlays for that iconic PRS look. This guitar is an authentic PRS through and through, and a time-tested favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater!

Exceptional components

The combination of a mahogany body and maple top gives the SE Custom 24 a perfect balance of rich midrange and bright snap — plus, the beautiful quilt maple top veneer helps make this instrument a real looker. Add a pair of PRS-designed humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions, and you've got a recipe for thick, sustaining tones. Pull up on the tone pot, and you'll access chiming, bell-like single-coil sounds. And the SE Custom 24's maple neck has a Pattern Thin carve, making it very fast and playable.

PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups

This SE Custom 24 is loaded with PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups. An update on PRS's original humbuckers, the 85/15 "S" sounds terrific whether used in humbucking or single-coil modes. They offer you plenty of output for driving your amp hard while sounding clear and detailed when you want. These SE humbuckers closely resemble the tones of the US-made versions found in the solidbody electric guitars.

PRS quality in every guitar

All PRS guitars are designed for performance, right out of the case — and the SE Custom 24 is no exception. Constructed from high-quality tonewoods and components, PRS instruments carry on a commitment to quality that's been the brand's hallmark since 1985, when Paul Smith began crafting guitars for some of the most elite players in the world. In fact, you'll often see a PRS SE in the touring rigs of the most well-respected PRS artists in the world.

  • Full-featured Paul Reed Smith at a great price
  • Legendary PRS quality and playability

Follow up review

After having my PRS SE Custom 24 awhile I wanted to write a follow up review. The 85/15 pickups are voiced bright which to my under standing what PRS was going for. While it's not a bad thing it's just not my cup of tea as the saying goes. A great alternative is the Seymour Duncan SH 2 & 4. My choice is the SD Whole Lotta Humbucker which I think will suit me better. As for the candy and big shout out to my sales rep Colton and the shipping department for all the candy. You folks definitely rock.

SE Custom 24

Amazing instrument, out of the box perfect. So pleased with everything. Sweetwater, you guys are the best!!
Rated 5/5

5 Star

Wow - really wonderful instrument. This has NYXL .09-.46 strings which are SO nice. The overall tone can be adjusted via the knobs on the guitar body, as well as that pop-up feature on the tone control. It is lightweight. Really seems to respond very well tone adjustments. Plays like butter - just a great feel.

Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Quilted maple top

The setup and action are both perfect right out of the box. After a little tuning adjustment the guitar was ready to go. No high frets or sharp edges, fit and finish is perfect, sound is great, all tuners and sound pots and switches work perfectly. All guitar brands should be set up and delivered with this attention to detail. Some are, unfortunately some are not. It's worth paying a couple extra dollars on most guitars. PRS guitars seem to have their act together on setups and build quality. My new PRS Custom is now my main guitar ( I have 37) I also have several Martin an Taylor guitars but I'm thinking I may need a PRS acoustic just because of the build quality I find in this brand. I have never been sorry that I bought the best I could afford, but have been disappointed a few times when I tried to skimp on price and let quality suffer.

Great Guitar

I purchased this guitar from the local music store in town. I immediately sent it to a local guitar luthier to have it set up. This guitar plays better than any higher priced Gibsons I have owned to date. I have a couple of SE PRS guitars and they are all great. I'm now looking at the S2 594 single cut to add to my collection. The thing I greatly appreciate about the PRS SE and S2, they are quality guitars that I can take to the clubs I play and I don't have to worry about babysitting a $4,000 Gibson so it doesn't get stolen.
Music background: Play live gigs

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
