Description
The Custom 24 is the original PRS guitar that put the brand on the map back in 1985. Fast forward to today, and the Custom 24-08 takes everything we love about the OG and cranks up the versatility!
You still get all those legendary specs: a stunning Maple top, solid Mahogany back and neck, 24 frets, a 25” scale length, the PRS Gen III tremolo, plus Phase III locking tuners with those classy wing buttons. But here’s where it gets exciting — PRS have added their TCI pickups and a pair of EQ mini-toggle switches for tonal flexibility that’ll blow your mind.
TCI pickups & clever switching
The dual TCI pickups deliver a rich, musical tone that captures the vibe of classic single-coils and soapbars — perfect for players who want it all. Flick those mini-toggles up, and you’re engaging tuned high-pass filters that trim the low-end and let those sparkling highs shine through. It’s clarity, definition and pure PRS magic at your fingertips.
Paul Reed Smith on the Custom 24-08
“The EQ switches were developed with and first featured on the Private Stock John McLaughlin model in 2023. Both John and I felt that they offered a different, but just as versatile, sound that played a significant role in the musicality of that guitar. I am happy that we are now extending this feature into more models.” — Paul Reed Smith
Premium tonewoods & hardware
