An Emblematic PRS, at the Heart of the Custom Range

The PRS Custom 24 is the quintessential "signature" guitar: the very first model Paul Reed Smith presented to the public in 1985, and since then, a standard adopted by both international artists and touring musicians. In this 2025 version, it retains the Custom DNA (carved maple top, 24 frets, PRS vibrato) while integrating key evolutions such as the Gen III tremolo and DMO pickups for a more open and contemporary response.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This Custom 24 is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists who want an electric guitar capable of everything without compromise: rock, pop, fusion, modern metal, funk, or session work. Its solidbody ergonomics, easy access to the upper frets thanks to the 24 frets, and simple electronics (volume, tone, 5 positions) make it an excellent stage and studio guitar, designed for quick register changes.

The Sound

The combination of a mahogany body and a carved maple top delivers a very PRS-balanced tone: full mids, a solid foundation, and a more precise attack with increased definition. The PRS DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) pickups are designed to provide an open and expressive sound with a "vocal" character: clear lows, rich mids, and present highs without harshness. The 5-position selector expands the palette by offering several useful combinations to go from a full and powerful sound to clearer, more articulated textures, while maintaining sustain thanks to the craftsmanship and glued-in neck.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar is strung with 10-46 gauge strings, and you can keep this gauge to preserve the vibrato balance and original feel. It is delivered with a case, ideal for transport and daily protection.
