The Custom 24-08: The Spirit of 1985, Today's Versatility

Born in 1985, the Custom 24 is the iconic instrument that launched the PRS journey. The Custom 24-08 retains the fundamentals that built its reputation (mahogany solidbody, carved maple top, mahogany neck, 24 frets, and PRS vibrato), while pushing the concept further with electronics designed to multiply tonal colors without complicating use. In this 2025 version, the EQ mini-switches provide a very musical response to refine the low end and enhance definition.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

The PRS Custom 24-08 is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an all-around electric guitar without compromising playability. Its Thin neck profile favors speed, precise runs, and smooth position shifts, while the H/H pickup configuration and 3-position selector naturally cover a wide range: rock, pop, fusion, modern metal, punchy blues, and clear pick rhythms. It's an excellent candidate if you're looking for a main guitar capable of adapting to multiple projects.

Sound

The combination of mahogany (body and neck) + maple (top) is a classic PRS formula: mahogany provides a warm foundation, solid low-mids, and generous sustain, while the maple top adds attack, precision, and extra presence in the upper spectrum. The TCI pickups (bridge and neck) emphasize balance and clarity, with a dynamic response that respects right-hand playing. The real advantage of this version lies in the two EQ mini-switches: when activated, they act as high-pass filters, reducing bass for clearer, more open, and better-defined tones, particularly useful in distortion, dense chords, or to create space in a mix.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This Custom 24-08 comes strung with 10-46 strings: if you want to maintain the original feel, choose an electric string set in this gauge. The instrument is delivered with a case, providing protection tailored to the guitar's dimensions right from the moment you open the case.
