Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 - Purple Mist with Hard Shell Case

The Paul Reed Smith Custom 24: The Original Icon, Refined to Perfection

Legendary Tonewoods and Craftsmanship

The Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 in Purple Mist embodies the elegance, precision, and sonic authority that made PRS a household name among serious players. With a carved maple top paired to a mahogany back and finished in high-gloss nitro, this guitar combines visual drama with tonal richness. The violin top carve adds both aesthetic flair and ergonomic contouring, ensuring this instrument feels just as luxurious as it looks.

Fast Neck with Impeccable Playability

At the heart of the Custom 24's exceptional feel is its one-piece mahogany neck featuring the Pattern Thin profile, delivering speed and comfort in equal measure. The rosewood fretboard with the signature PRS bird inlays and a 10-inch radius provides a silky surface for articulate bends and effortless movement across all 24 frets. Whether you're digging into solos or holding down complex chord voicings, this neck responds with precision and ease.

85/15 Pickups with Expansive Tonal Range

Equipped with PRS’s own 85/15 pickups, this guitar delivers stunning clarity and an extended frequency range, designed by Paul Reed Smith himself for versatility across genres. The five-way blade switch, paired with master volume and tone controls, lets you sculpt everything from crystalline cleans to punchy, modern high-gain tones. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the Custom 24 ensures your voice comes through loud and clear.

Gen III Tremolo and Wing Locking Tuners

The PRS Patented Tremolo (Gen III) paired with Phase III Locking Tuners featuring new Wing buttons offers stability, reliability, and elegance. These lightweight tuning machines are not just visually striking—they contribute to increased sustain and tonal fidelity by minimizing energy loss from string vibration. The result is a louder, more musical note that rings with authority.

Purpose-Built for the Demanding Musician

As the original model introduced at PRS’s debut NAMM show in 1985, the Custom 24 is the foundation of the PRS sound. This 2024 model includes tonal enhancements and refined ergonomics that make it suitable for both touring professionals and studio aficionados. With premium appointments, a resonant core, and flawless construction, it’s a guitar built to inspire.
