The PRS That Started It All
Introduced at the Winter NAMM in 1985, the Custom 24 defined PRS's sound, ergonomics, and aesthetics. A true flagship of the "Core" range, it embodies the brand's craftsmanship: a rare balance between high-end luthiery, road reliability, and an immediately recognizable sonic identity.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Designed for demanding guitarists, from intermediate to professional, the PRS Custom 24 covers a wide spectrum: rock, pop, fusion, funk, prog, and melodic metal. The 24 frets and 25" scale length facilitate solos in the high register, while the PRS Gen III tremolo and locking tuners ensure impeccable tuning stability, even with intensive use of the vibrato.
Sound Characteristics
The mahogany/maple carved top combination brings warmth, precise attack, and sustain. The PRS 85/15 humbuckers deliver a highly articulate response, with airy highs and deep lows. The 5-position selector and volume/tone controls offer textures ranging from full, tight humbucker tones to brighter single-coil-like combinations, ideal for switching between punchy rhythms and singing leads without adjusting the amp.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
- PRS Signature 10-46 string sets (identical to the original setup) to preserve tension and intonation.
- Standard 2-point guitar strap (traditional PRS strap buttons).
- Curved capo suitable for electric guitars with a 10" radius.
