Essential Information About the PRS Custom 24-08 Dark Cherry Sunburst Guitar

• Modernized PRS Icon: the spirit of the Custom 24 (born in 1985) with increased versatility for stage and studio.


• TCI Pickups + Intuitive Switching: two TCI humbuckers controlled by a 3-position selector, volume, and tone.


• Two EQ Mini-Switches: in the up position, they act as high-pass filters to gain clarity and more "musical" highs.


• Premium USA Craftsmanship: mahogany body, carved maple top, 24 frets, patented PRS Gen III vibrato, and Phase III locking tuners.

A Custom 24 at the Heart of PRS DNA, Revisited for 2025

The Custom 24 is the iconic instrument that launched the PRS adventure in 1985. This 2025 Custom 24-08 model retains the fundamentals that made the series famous (maple top, mahogany body and neck, 24 frets, 25" / 635 mm scale length, PRS Gen III vibrato), while adding a more contemporary approach to versatility thanks to the TCI pickups and its EQ mini-switches.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The PRS Custom 24-08 is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a high-end electric capable of covering many grounds without sacrificing comfort. Its Thin neck profile, 24 frets, and typically PRS ergonomics make it an excellent partner for modern rock, pop, gritty blues, fusion, and any context where quick switching between precise rhythms and expressive solos is required.

Sound

The mahogany + carved maple top duo provides a much-appreciated balance: density and sustain in the low-midrange, with a sharper attack and better definition in the upper spectrum. The TCI pickups (treble and bass) are designed for dynamic response and clear articulation, while the electronics remain intentionally straightforward (volume, tone, 3-position selector) to maintain immediate control during play.

The unique feature of this model lies in its two EQ mini-switches: once activated (up position), they function as high-pass filters by cutting some of the low frequencies. The result: increased clarity, more present highs, and a heightened sense of definition, very useful for standing out in a mix, refining a saturated tone, or brightening rich chords.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This PRS is strung with 10-46 gauge strings: to preserve the feel and balance of the craftsmanship, favor electric string sets in the 10-46 gauge format (0.010-0.046"). It is delivered with a case, ideal for daily transport and protection.
