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.

PRS SE Custom 24 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Full-featured Paul Reed Smith at a great price
  • Legendary PRS quality and playability
  • Beautiful flame top with quilt maple veneer to give this guitar an elegant look
  • Mahogany body for punchy tone and long sustain

A beautiful guitar!!

Hard to believe but this guitar sounds better than it looks!!
The ebony fretboard is smooth as silk! This is my 3rd SE and it won't be my last!!

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.
