A versatile modern classic with vintage PRS tone and playability.
The PRS Custom 24-08 is a modern take on the iconic guitar that sparked the PRS revolution back in 1985. Retaining the foundational specs that made the original a classic, the Custom 24-08 adds new levels of tonal versatility through an ingenious switching system. Whether you crave warm, vintage-inspired tones or scorching modern outputs, this guitar delivers the quintessential PRS experience with unmatched flexibility.
Timeless Tone Wood Construction
At its core, the Custom 24-08 carries on PRS's esteemed tradition of premium tone wood construction. The guitar's foundation is a resonant mahogany body attentively carved and paired with a gorgeous maple top. The Pattern Thin mahogany neck and fingerboard provide a smooth, familiar playing feel. This iconic tonewood recipe produces balanced, articulate tone with plenty of warmth and sustain. You'll immediately recognize the Custom's signature voice.
Eight Pickup Voices at Your Command
While the Custom 24-08 maintains PRS's revered dual 85/15 "S" pickups, it takes tonal versatility to new heights. Mini-toggle coil tap switches let you access eight unique pickup combinations on the fly. Blend the full humbucker voices for rich, singing lead tones. Tap them for brighter, more percussive single-coil biting bite. Mix and match settings to craft the perfect voice for any genre or playing style. From sparkling cleans to heavy overdrive, the Custom 24-08 inspires you to explore new sonic territory.
PRS Playability and Sustain
Beyond its genre-defying tones, the Custom 24-08 delivers the renowned playability that made PRS a legend. The 24-fret, 25" scale length imparts a familiar playing feel for effortless chording and lead work. The Gen III tremolo bridge provides smooth, responsive pitch shifting while maintaining tuning stability. Newly revised for increased sustain, this double-locking system makes wildest string bends sing. With its comfortable Pattern Thin neck profile, the Custom 24-08 plays like a dream.
Timeless Looks, New-Found Versatility
While the Custom 24-08 incorporates modern switching, its aesthetic remains an exercise in vintage elegance. The Black Gold Wrap Burst finish glows with three-dimensional depth across the carved maple top. Iconic PRS bird inlays and signature headstock shape complete the unmistakable look. Yet for all its vintage vibe, the Custom 24—08 is engineered to inspire new musical expression through its innovative coil taps.
