PRS Custom 24 SE Quilt Teal Black

The Essentials to Know About the PRS SE Custom 24 Quilt Teal Black Guitar

• PRS DNA in SE format: instantly recognizable Custom 24 silhouette, "Shallow Violin" carved maple top with spectacular quilted veneer, extending to the matching headstock.


• A true "Swiss Army knife" guitar: two PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers, 3-position selector, and coil split via push/pull to switch from modern heavy tones to clearer, snappier attacks.


• Comfort and speed: Wide Thin neck profile, 24 frets, and 25" / 635 mm scale length for a smooth feel and natural access to the upper frets without straining the hand.


• Stable tuning and musical vibrato: patented PRS vibrato and PRS tuners designed to handle bends, vibrato returns, and long sessions without drifting.

From the original Custom 24 to the SE Quilt: the "modern classic" spirit

The Custom 24 holds a special place in the PRS universe: a model that has become a benchmark for its versatility, ergonomics, and ability to remain clear even with gain. This PRS SE Custom 24 Quilt Teal Black version carries the strong markers that built the shape's reputation (carved top, 24 frets, stage/studio-oriented electronics), while offering a high-end visual finish. The "Quilt Teal Black" color highlights the quilted pattern with a depth that catches the light, giving the instrument an immediate presence on stage and in display.

Within the SE range, the goal is clear: to offer a reliable, consistent, and enjoyable guitar for everyday use, designed for rehearsals, recording, and concerts. It features a coherent construction (mahogany body, maple top) and a modern pickup configuration to cover a wide range of tones without multiplying instruments.

A PRS SE built to progress... and to play "pro"

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an instrument capable of switching styles and settings effortlessly, as well as ambitious beginners seeking a serious and durable foundation. The Wide Thin profile favors fast playing: it suits tight riffs as well as legato phrasing, while remaining comfortable for chords and rhythm playing.

In terms of styles, the SE Custom 24 Quilt excels in pop/rock, alternative rock, progressive rock, and modern metal: the humbuckers provide the density and control needed for distortion while maintaining useful definition in the mix. In coil split, the guitar gains bite and snap, practical for funk, indie colors, or more open arpeggios. In the studio, this versatility allows layering complementary takes without changing instruments; on stage, it helps transition from a crystalline verse to a heavier chorus with minimal effort.

A balanced tonal character: warmth, attack, and definition

The combination of mahogany body and maple top is a classic for a simple reason: it naturally balances the frequency ranges. Mahogany adds roundness, a sense of "body" in the midrange, and generous sustain that highlights held notes and solos. Maple enhances attack and clarity, with brightness that helps chords remain distinct when stacking distortion or effects.

The two PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers are designed for this modern approach: tight and controlled lows, present mids, airy highs, with a response that stays articulate when played hard. The 3-position selector provides essential basics (neck, mix, bridge), and the push/pull opens finer nuances: in split mode, you get more "single-coil" style tones with a more percussive attack, useful for rhythms that need to stand out or defined arpeggios. The PRS vibrato, smooth and precise, completes the picture: it allows musical inflections and expressive vibratos while maintaining a stable feel and good overall resonance.

Recommended compatible accessories

To preserve the original feel, choose a set of electric strings in 9-42 gauge (original setup). A standard format strap and a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable are enough to be ready for rehearsal or stage. Included gig bag for daily transport and protection.
