A Modernized PRS Icon: the Custom 24-08, the Logical Evolution of the Founding Model

Born in 1985, the Custom 24 is PRS's iconic guitar, the one that laid the foundation of the brand: smooth playability, meticulous craftsmanship, and versatility. This 2025 Custom 24-08 model retains the fundamentals that made it successful (carved maple, mahogany, 24 frets, PRS vibrato) and pushes expressiveness further thanks to a switching system designed to shift registers without losing the PRS character.

Who Is the PRS Custom 24-08 For, and In Which Styles Does It Excel?

The PRS Custom 24-08 is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an instrument capable of delivering dense rhythm parts, precise leads, and more airy textures without multiplying guitars. It feels at home in rock, pop, fusion, funk, modern blues, and studio contexts where definition and versatility are essential.

Sound

The combination of mahogany body and neck provides a warm foundation with present mids and natural sustain, while the carved maple top adds attack, precision, and a clearer high end. The TCI pickups are designed to deliver a balanced and musical sound, maintaining dynamics both clean and overdriven.

The real highlight of this Custom 24-08 lies in its EQ mini-switches: once activated (up position), they act as high-pass filters that reduce bass and emphasize treble to gain clarity and brightness. Ideal for refining a crunch, cleaning up a saturated tone, or making a chord stand out in the mix. The PRS Gen III vibrato completes the package with a smooth and expressive response, suited for subtle vibratos as well as more pronounced effects.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes factory-equipped with 10-46 strings: to maintain the feel and tension balance, prefer a set of electric 10-46 strings when replacing them.
