Paul Reed Smith Private Stock Custom 24 - Aqua Violet with Hard Shell Case

The Paul Reed Smith Private Stock Custom 24 – Built to Transcend

Hand-selected tonewoods and Private Stock craftsmanship

This Private Stock Custom 24 is a showcase of the very best PRS has to offer, from its visually arresting Aqua Violet stain to the deeply resonant tonewoods chosen by the team in Stevensville. The Curly Maple top dances under the High Gloss Nitro finish, revealing a depth and movement to the flame that seems almost alive. Paired with an African Mahogany back and neck, this guitar offers a blend of warmth, clarity, and sustain that’s as bold as it is refined. Every detail has been considered. From the carved contours to the bone nut to the ebony headstock veneer, this guitar has been built and engineered to perfection.

Premium playability with the Pattern Thin carve

The neck is carved to PRS’s Pattern Thin profile, offering a sleek and effortless feel. The ebony fingerboard is smooth and articulate under the fingers, accentuated by stunning sparkle resin bird inlays outlined in White Mother of Pearl. That same combination graces the Private Stock Eagle inlay on the headstock, creating a continuous thread of elegance from nut to tuning pegs. 

Expressive tone with 85/15 pickups and 5-way switching

At the heart of this guitar’s voice are a matched pair of PRS 85/15 humbuckers, delivering a broad tonal spectrum that stays articulate across all five blade positions. From crystalline cleans to searing high-gain leads, these pickups translate the guitar’s natural resonance with exceptional clarity and dynamic range. The intuitive control layout lets you shape your sound on the fly without breaking your flow.

Smoked black hardware and refined finishing touches

Every element of this instrument has been elevated to Private Stock standards. The smoked black PRS plate-style bridge and Phase III locking tuners with ebony buttons maintain tuning stability while contributing to the guitar’s stealthy elegance. Even the backplate and truss rod cover are rendered in African Mahogany and ebony, they complete the visual harmony. This is a player’s guitar, no question, but also an heirloom piece, meant to be admired as much as it is played.

A complete package with signature PRS extras

This guitar includes a Private Stock Black Paisley hardshell case and an official spec sheet hand-signed by Paul Reed Smith, both visible in the listing photos. These aren't just accessories, they're part of the experience. Owning a Private Stock means more than just getting an elite-level instrument. It means you're holding a piece of the PRS story, made with care, precision, and passion from start to finish.
