Drink in this guitar's smooth, clear vintage voice
When you plug the Custom 24 Piezo into your favorite amp, you will be enveloped in a rich and decidedly vintage tone. This is the warm and clear sonic elixir that propelled PRS 58/15 pickups to the top of many guitarists' favorite PAF-style humbucker lists. That's because Paul Smith himself designed the 58/15 pickups to give you the sweet sound of real vintage humbuckers. If you want to replicate the best, you should go right to the source. That's just what PRS did when they bought the same coil wire manufacturing machine that '50s-era guitar makers used to create some of the most iconic-sounding pickups in history.
PRS retooled these pickups to bring the sweet harmonics and chunky warmth of this classic design to your Custom 24. 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.From jazz to rock to fusion; from chimey rhythm parts to blistering leads — and everything in between — the PRS Custom 24 Piezo delivers.
PRS piezo pickup system for organic acoustic tones
The PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system on this guitar delivers the natural acoustic sound of the guitar. A control knob lets you blend in the sound of this pickup with the sound of the onboard humbuckers for an organic-sounding hybrid tone that combines the woody airiness of an acoustic guitar with the punch and sustain of an electric. The guitar's electronics setup gives you independent control of magnetic and piezo pickup volume and a master tone, while a 5-way blade switch plus 3-way mini-toggle arrangement gives you access to any pickup configuration. The Custom 24 Piezo features a separate piezo output positioned next to the guitar's magnetic pickup output, giving you the flexibility to route the signals to separate destinations for processing or amplification, should you so desire.
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.
