Streamlined construction
When PRS designed the S2 Custom 24-08, they endeavored to strike the perfect balance between price and performance. This streamlined solidbody electric guitar is built around a resonant mahogany body, which is capped by an asymmetric bevel-cut maple top. The S2 Custom 24-08's mahogany neck boasts a Pattern Thin shape, which is 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. This insanely comfortable neck is topped with a 10-inch-radius, 24-fret rosewood fingerboard that's guaranteed to facilitate lightning-fast fretwork.
PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups
The PRS S2 Custom 24-08 comes equipped with Paul Reed Smith-designed 85/15 "S" humbuckers. An update on PRS's original humbuckers, 85/15 "S" pickups are designed to sound terrific, whether used in humbucking or single-coil modes. From shimmering cleans to blistering high-gain tones, the clarity and extended tonal range provided by these pickups make the S2 Custom 24-08 the ideal workhorse guitar. Two independent coil-splitting mini toggles further fortify your sonic arsenal with a range of spanky single-coil tones, taking the total number of pickup combinations to eight. Guitarists at Sweetwater love the sweetened, vintage-inspired sound of these pickups. You will, too.
