A Guitar That Defined PRS Tone and Playability

Remarkable Tone with PRS 85/15 Pickups
The PRS 85/15 pickups, personally designed by Paul Reed Smith, are a hallmark of this model. These uncovered pickups deliver crystal-clear highs, articulate mids, and extended low end, perfect for both vintage tones and modern applications.

Precision Hardware for Ultimate Performance
The PRS Patented Gen III Tremolo bridge ensures exceptional tuning stability and player comfort, even during heavy use. Updated for 2024, the lightweight PRS Phase III locking tuners with Wing buttons promote greater tone transfer and resonance while adding a touch of vintage elegance. These features combine to provide unmatched reliability and performance, whether in the studio or on stage.

Crafted with a carved maple top and solid mahogany body, the Custom 24 offers a blend of tonal warmth and brightness.
