PRS Custom 24 SE SH Piezo Vintage Sunburst

Essential Information About the PRS SE Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Piezo Vintage Sunburst Guitar

• Dual personality: PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers + Piezo LR Baggs/PRS system to switch from a modern electric range to credible "acoustic" tones.


• Semi-hollow construction in mahogany with "f" hole: more resonance, breathing, and a more organic attack than a classic solid-body.


• Stage versatility: two separate volumes (magnetic/piezo) and two jack outputs to mix or separate signals according to your setup.


• PRS ergonomics: 24 frets, 25" / 635 mm scale length, Wide Thin profile, and patented PRS vibrato for smooth and expressive playing.

A Revisited Custom 24: The PRS Spirit Since 1985, in Semi-Hollow and Piezo Version

The Custom 24 holds a special place in PRS history: first introduced in 1985, it laid the foundation of the brand's DNA with meticulous craftsmanship, modern playability, and wide sonic openness. The PRS SE Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Piezo builds on this iconic concept by adding two key ingredients: a semi-hollow body (with "f" hole) for increased resonance, and a Piezo LR Baggs/PRS to expand the palette toward more "acoustic" textures. Within the SE range, this version targets guitarists seeking an ultra-versatile Custom 24 designed for today's playing situations (studio, cover band, stage, home studio).

Who Is This PRS SE Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Piezo For?

This guitar is aimed at the intermediate to advanced musician who needs a unique instrument capable of fulfilling multiple roles. The 24 frets and Wide Thin profile suit players accustomed to fast necks: rock phrasing, fusion, modern pop, funk, gospel, R&B, as well as more "shred" lead parts while remaining comfortable for rhythm playing. The split mode (push/pull) helps achieve finer, snappier tones, while the piezo allows seamless transitions to "acoustic" parts without changing guitars, ideal for dynamic sets and rich arrangements.

Sound and Electronics: 85/15 "S" Humbuckers, Split, and LR Baggs/PRS Piezo

The tonal foundation relies on two PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers (bridge and neck), designed to deliver detailed reproduction with good chord definition and solid sustain. The push/pull tone control splits the humbuckers to achieve airier attacks, useful for arpeggios, funk rhythms, or more "single-coil like" sounds in a mix. The 3-position selector provides easy access to essentials: full bass, balanced middle position, and sharper treble.

The semi-hollow construction (mahogany body with "f" hole) adds extra resonance: you feel more "bounce" in the picking hand, with a livelier response and very pleasant musicality on clean and crunch tones. The "Shallow Violin" flamed maple top contributes to attack clarity and precision, while the overall build retains warmth thanks to the mahogany. Result: a guitar that keeps the foundation and versatility of a modern PRS while gaining a more organic character.

The highlight is the integration of the LR Baggs/PRS Piezo. You have two separate volume controls (one for the piezo, one for the magnetic pickups), allowing fine blending. On the connectivity side, two jack outputs are provided: a Mix/Piezo output and a magnetic output. You can choose a simple connection (single cable, direct mix) or advanced routing (magnetic pickups to a guitar amp, piezo to an acoustic amp or DI/mixer), ideal for a clean and immediately usable stage sound. Another practical advantage: when only the magnetic output is used, the piezo circuit is bypassed, ensuring reliability in case of a dead piezo battery (magnetic pickups continue to function).

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To fully exploit this PRS, a set of electric strings with 10-46 gauge (matching the original setup) is a safe choice to maintain tension/attack balance. A good quality 6.35 mm jack cable is recommended, and if you want to take advantage of both outputs, plan for two cables to separate piezo and magnetic pickups. Finally, plectrums suited to your attack and a stable guitar stand remain universal essentials. The guitar is delivered with a gig bag, convenient for transport.
