Custom Spec’d by Sweetwater for All-out Tonal Aggression
It’s always exciting when a new PRS Wood Library guitar rolls through Sweetwater’s doors — there’s nothing more gratifying than providing our customers with a Sweetwater-spec instrument you simply can’t get anywhere else. This PRS Wood Library Custom 24 was spec’d by our guitar experts to offer a particularly aggressive take on the classic Custom 24. It's loaded with a pair of aptly titled PRS \m/ humbuckers to give you a high-output, metal-ready arsenal of tones to choose from. An ebony-topped figured torrefied maple neck in a Pattern Thin profile solidifies this guitar’s metal-minded design with a lightning-fast feel that’s sure to inspire ferocious fretwork. You also get PRS Phase III locking tuners and a Gen III tremolo for maximum tuning stability and versatile vibrato. Finally, the PRS Wood Library Custom 24’s warm-sounding mahogany body and carved figured quilt maple 10-Top hail from PRS’ world-renowned Wood Library stash, putting some of the finest tonewoods on the planet straight into your hands.

Metal-ready \m/ humbucking pickups
A far cry from the traditionally voiced and vintage-inspired humbuckers found on many PRS instruments, this Wood Library Custom 24’s \m/ pickups are voiced for all-out humbucker aggression. \m/ humbuckers are designed to provide metal players with a sound that splits the difference between high-gain brutality and PRS’ tonal dedication to dynamics and crystal-clear clarity. By using a combination of alnico magnets, ceramic magnets, and a hot wind, \m/ pickups give you a remarkably defined and focused response that effortlessly accommodates everything from ultra-high-gain riffage to shimmering cleans.
Ultra-fast PRS Pattern Thin profile
One of the speediest neck profiles you’ll find on a PRS instrument, the Pattern Thin shape is a modernized version of the original PRS Wide Thin profile. This shape forms the perfect fretboard foundation for blazing-fast riffing and high-gain drenched technicality — a perfect match for this Wood Library Custom 24’s modern metal M.O. Plus, the Pattern Thin shape is by no means strictly for shredders — Sweetwater guitarists of all styles and background have come to favor the Pattern Thin profile for its lightning-fast feel and comfortable grip.
Only a 10-Top will do
Curl, flame, quilt, and spalt: even in the early days of Paul Reed Smith’s guitar-building career, the company had a reputation for the sheer quality of figuring on their maple tops, with dazzling lines and grain patterns that make any plain top pale in comparison. Naturally, customers began to call in and request that their instruments be built with “a nice-looking top” — far too vague a term for the tonewood scientists in Stevensville, Maryland. Thus, the 10-Top designation was born: a lofty status that requires a “clearly defined figure across the entire top,” leaving no doubt that the guitar will arrive capped with a superlative piece of timber.
