A sonically flexible Custom electric guitar with enhanced playability for inspired performance.
The PRS Custom 24-08 electric guitar provides versatile tone and premium playability for the discerning musician. Since 1985, the Custom 24 has been PRS Guitars' flagship model, combining a maple top with mahogany back and neck for resonant tone. The Custom 24-08 builds on this foundation with innovative TCI pickups and an intuitive switching system that unlocks eight distinct pickup combinations from punchy single-coils to powerful humbuckers for a diverse sonic palette.
Playability and Craftsmanship
Like all PRS guitars, the Custom 24-08 exhibits meticulous craftsmanship and premium components for outstanding playability. Its mahogany neck has a comfortably rounded profile, while the rosewood fingerboard has 24 frets and bird inlays. PRS's patented Gen III tremolo system delivers tuning stability and sustain. Phase III locking tuners with lightweight wing buttons provide precision tuning and enhanced resonance. Overall, the Custom 24-08 feels like an extension of your hands, ready to express your musical voice.
Premium Pickups for Versatile Tone
The Custom 24-08's TCI pickups utilize PRS's 35 years of pickup design experience to deliver articulate, musical tone. Coil-tap switches on the pickups' volume knobs activate the guitar's single-coil tones, allowing you to go from rocking humbuckers to spanky Strat-like tones with the flick of a switch. With eight pickup combinations, you can find the perfect tone for any song or style.
Intuitive Controls for Sonic Exploration
Two mini-toggle switches and a 5-way blade switch give you intuitive control over the Custom 24-08's tonal palette. The blade switch selects between bridge, bridge and middle, middle, middle and neck or neck pickups. The mini-toggles activate the coil-taps for single-coil tones. With some experimentation, you'll be crafting unique tones in no time. The volume and tone knobs provide further tonal shaping for each pickup.
Premium Appointments
The PRS patented Gen III tremolo and Phase III locking tuners keep the Custom 24-08 in tune through heavy use. PRS's meticulous craftsmanship gives this guitar a luxurious feel with details like the signature bird inlays. The 25" scale length and slim "speed" neck profile make lead playing fast and comfortable.
