Redefine your tone with the iconic PRS Custom 24.
The PRS Custom 24 electric guitar provides serious musicians with a versatile instrument built for tone and playability. Since 1985, the Custom 24 has offered a unique voice and feel that has defined the PRS sound. With its 85/15 pickups, Gen III tremolo bridge and figured maple top, this guitar gives you remarkable clarity and sustain to shape your own signature tone.
Premium Maple Top
The figured maple top gives the Custom 24 a stunning appearance with a quilt or flame maple veneer. More importantly, the maple top helps produce a balanced tone that is articulate yet warm. Maple provides a tight, focused low end and shimmering highs that complement the 85/15 pickups. With its blend of sustain, clarity and visual beauty, the maple top contributes greatly to this guitar's allure.
Superior Playability
The Custom 24's maple neck provides a smooth playing experience. Its oval profile offers comfortable contours, while the rosewood fingerboard's medium jumbo frets make it easy to articulate notes and chords. A 10" fingerboard radius and 25" scale length give this guitar a familiar feel for most players. The PRS Phase III locking tuners keep this guitar in tune through heavy use, ensuring you can focus on your playing.
Legendary 85/15 Pickups
The 85/15 pickups were designed by Paul Reed Smith himself to deliver pristine highs, robust lows and rich harmonics. Combined with a 5-way blade switch, the pickups provide a wide range of tones from bright and crisp to warm and punchy. The clarity of these pickups allows your technique and musicality to shine through for an inspiring playing experience.
Stable and Expressive Gen III Tremolo Bridge
The Gen III tremolo bridge offers precise tuning stability and fluttering tremolo effects. With a turn of the tremolo arm, you can subtly enhance your tone or dramatically bend notes. The bridge's knife-edge and stud mount design maximizes energy transfer for sustain while keeping the guitar in tune. Express yourself with the responsive and reliable Gen III tremolo bridge.
