A PRS Icon Revisited for 2025

Born in 1985, the Custom 24 is the founding model that defined PRS's DNA: high-end finishes, refined ergonomics, and formidable sonic balance. This Custom 24-08 retains the fundamentals that made it famous (24 frets, carved maple top, mahogany, PRS vibrato) and adds a more contemporary approach thanks to the TCI pickups and switching designed to multiply tonal colors without complicating playing. On this 2025 version, the EQ mini-switches provide immediate control over brightness and definition.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

The PRS Custom 24-08 is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an electric guitar capable of covering a wide range: modern rock, pop, funk, fusion, prog, gritty blues, and all stage or studio situations where you quickly switch from a full sound to a more cutting register. The Thin profile favors fast runs, clean bends, and access to the upper frets, while the 24 frets will appeal to both soloists and demanding rhythm players.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany body and maple top is a PRS classic: mahogany provides body, sustain, and rich warmth in the mids, while maple adds attack, precision, and a more sculpted high end. The TCI pickups aim for a balance between power and articulation, allowing definition to be maintained in both chords and lead playing. The 3-position selector offers clear and effective foundations, and the 2 EQ mini-switches (high-pass filters when activated) lighten the low end to gain sharpness, clarity, and more "musical" treble depending on your amp and mix. Finally, the PRS Gen III vibrato contributes to stability and comfort while maintaining a smooth feel for subtle nuances as well as more pronounced effects.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This guitar is strung with 10-46 strings: you can therefore plan a replacement set with the same gauge to preserve the original feel and balance. It is delivered with a case, ideal for daily transport and protection.
