Key Features

  • Pattern Thin – Comfortable and ergonomic the PRS Pattern Thin neck shape still feels like home however in a thinner package for an even more rapid feeling neck profile.
  • Phase III Locking Tuners – The perfect blend of vintage aesthetic and modern design. Utilising unplated brass shafts for unparalleled tonal transfer as well as precision gear ratios for effortless tuning the Phase III tuners are possibly the most thought-out guitar tuners.
  • Patented Tremolo Gen III – The most recent incarnation of the famed PRS Tremolo System. Meticulously designed with improved string vibration transfer for an even more defined and bigger tone with improved tuning stability.

The Coveted PRS 10-Top

This particular guitar boasts one of PRS’ famed Flamed Maple 10-Tops – a body top with a bold, consistent grain without a single blemish or imperfection. Each piece of 10-Top timber is hand-selected not only for its beautiful grain, but also for its density, resonance, and symmetry.

These striking woods are truly a sight to behold – you won’t be able to take your eyes off it!

PRS 85/15 Humbuckers

PRSs’ take on creating the perfect hybrid humbucking pickup between modern and vintage. Utilising Alnico 2 magnets the 85/15 pickups maintain all the much-loved tonal characteristics of a vintage humbucker but with the addition of a more defined higher and lower end creating a pickup with more of a full-spectrum balance and great note clarity.

Premium Construction

PRS’ Custom 24 model boasts a Mahogany body, delivering a warm sound with plenty of harmonic richness in the mid-range. Adorned with a gorgeous Figured Maple top, this instrument’s beauty is guaranteed to inspire you to pick it up and play for hours on end!

Joining the body is a Mahogany neck carved to PRS’ acclaimed “Pattern Thin” profile. Delivering a speedy yet supportive feel, the neck is also topped with a silky-smooth Rosewood fingerboard that offers a luxurious touch under the fingers. The 25″ scale length is another noteworthy detail, providing optimal string tension for superb playability.

Stuff About Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Stuff About Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Stuff About Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
