Playing This Custom 24 Is Addictive!

This PRS Custom 24 is a beautifully playable solidbody electric guitar that sounds as amazing as it looks. Feast your eyes on an exquisite maple 10-Top, paired with a comfortable lightweight mahogany body, all dressed to kill in PRS's superb high-gloss nitro over a cellulose CAB basecoat finish. You'll delight at the touch of the 24-fret mahogany neck with its satisfying Pattern Thin profile and rosewood fingerboard with signature bird inlays. And the sound of this elegant beast? Premium TCI-tuned 85/15 humbuckers and 5-way switching deploy a stunning arsenal of tone. This PRS Custom 24 solidbody electric guitar also features Phase III locking tuners and a Gen III tremolo.

A natural-feeling guitar that's incredibly fun to play

This PRS Custom 24 solidbody is one of those electric guitars that you just can't put down. PRS enjoys a well-deserved reputation for marrying sonic mojo with mouthwatering visuals and outstanding playability, and they've done their usual outstanding job with this 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.

Ear-tuned 85/15 pickups

To create the 85/15 pickups, PRS took their Standard Treble and Bass pickup designs from 1985 and update them with everything they've learned since then. The original '85 pickups were voted one of the 33 biggest pickup design innovations by Guitar Player magazine. The updated 85/15 pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity. PRS retooled these pickups to bring the sweet harmonics and chunky warmth of this classic design to your Custom 24 10-Top. Each set of pickups has been ear-tuned to perfection by Paul and his team, a process known as Tuned Capacitance and Inductance (TCI). The end result is a very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage, but updated for the modern player.

Revamped finish for classic feel

Never one to sit pat, PRS has retooled their finish process. Taking its cues from the Private Stock finish that entails high-gloss nitro over a cellulose CAB basecoat, this method gives the guitar a finish that's thin, durable, and clear. The result is an instrument that feels like a vintage guitar in your hands, with an incredible amount of resonance.

  • Mahogany body with exquisite maple 10-Top for extra clarity and killer looks

Impeccable

When I opened the case my jaw dropped. Then I plugged in and the like a listener told me, it talks. The sales engineer Talor was extremely helpful, talk to him and you wont be disappointed. Simply put old American craftsmanship of heirloom quality. Frankly I dont know how they do it for the money.

PRS Custom 24

Although I had played them a number of times, including borrowing one for a gig back in the day, I had never owned a Paul Reed Smith guitar before.

I bought this one sight unseen after discussing the purchase and getting some thoughts and perspective from Josh at Sweetwater.

It"s hard to say which was best, the custom 24"s tone, or the outstanding customer service I received from Josh.

Either way, I"m one satisfied customer.

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.
