From the 1985 PRS icon to the modernized Custom 24-08 (2025 model)

Launched in 1985, the Custom 24 is the emblematic instrument that defined PRS's DNA. This Custom 24-08 retains the fundamentals that made it famous (maple/mahogany construction, 24 frets, PRS vibrato) and pushes versatility further thanks to electronics designed to cover more nuances. On this 2025 model, the EQ mini-switches add a very musical approach to brighten the sound without making it harsh.

For which guitarists and styles?

The PRS Custom 24-08 is aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want a high-end electric capable of handling various contexts: studio, stage, intensive rehearsals. Its playground is wide: rock, pop, fusion, modern blues, and anything requiring detailed clean tones as well as articulate overdrives, with a "performance"-oriented playability.

Sound

The combination of a mahogany body and a carved maple top is a PRS classic: mahogany provides a warm base rich in mids, while maple enhances attack, definition, and chord clarity. The 25" / 635 mm scale length sits between "soft" and "tight" feels, offering a very comfortable balance for bending, intonation, and sustain.

The two TCI pickups are designed to deliver a precise and usable spectrum, from bright cleans to dense drive. The 3-position selector allows quick tone changes, and the two EQ mini-switches (high-pass filters in the up position) reduce low frequencies to gain clarity and more musical highs: ideal for "cleaning" an overdrive, brightening a neck tone, or making a rhythm part stand out in a mix.

Recommended compatible accessories

To maintain the original feel, opt for electric guitar strings gauge 10-46 (same gauge as factory setup). The instrument comes with a case, so you are ready for safe transport right out of the box.
