A Custom 24 Designed for 2025: PRS Tradition with Added Options

Born in 1985, the Custom 24 is the iconic model that defined PRS's identity: an elegant solidbody, ultra-playable and designed for both stage and studio. This Custom 24-08 version retains the fundamentals (carved maple top on mahogany, mahogany neck, 24 frets, PRS tremolo) while adding a more comprehensive switching system, designed to multiply tonal colors without complicating use.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The PRS Custom 24-08 targets intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a premium electric capable of covering a wide range of genres: modern rock, pop, fusion, funk, edgy blues, up to more saturated tones. The Thin neck profile favors speed, bends, and technical playing, while the electronics allow quick shifts from a dense sound to a sharper, more defined texture in a band setting.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany body and neck provides a warm foundation rich in mids with sustain, while the carved maple top enhances attack and definition, useful for maintaining precision with gain. The TCI pickups offer a balanced spectrum, from thick, singing humbucker tones to finer sounds via switching. The EQ mini-switches, designed as high-pass filters, remove some low frequencies when activated: ideal for brightening a saturated tone, improving note separation, and achieving more "musical" highs without harshness.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a case and is strung with 10-46 strings; you may want to have a spare set of 10-46 strings if you wish to maintain the original feel and balance.
