The Custom 24 is the guitar that put PRS on the map back in 1985 and has become an icon. Fast forward to today, and the Custom 24-08 takes that legendary formula and cranks it up a notch — giving you even more tonal flexibility without losing any of the magic that made the original so special.

Just like its Core Series big brother, the more accessible PRS SE Custom 24-08 comes loaded with two mini-toggle coil-tap switches. These let you split each humbucker individually, unlocking a whopping eight pickup combinations in total! From fat, roaring humbuckers to sparkling single-coil tones, this guitar covers all the bases.

TCI “S” pickups

Designed in-house by PRS, these TCI (Tuned Capacitance Inductance) “S” pickups are absolute tone monsters. They deliver the perfect blend of vintage warmth and modern punch, making them ideal for any style. Humbuckers? Thick and powerful. Coil-tapped single-coils? Bright, glassy and ready to cut through any mix.

PRS quality, player-friendly price

PRS guitars are renowned for their craftsmanship, playability and tone. The SE Series brings that same DNA to a more affordable platform, so you can experience PRS magic at an affordable price.

Key Features

  • Mahogany body, Maple neck: This classic tonewood pairing gives you the best of both worlds: the warmth and resonance of Mahogany combined with the brightness of Maple.
  • Wide Thin neck profile: PRS’s most popular carve for modern players. It’s slim enough for lightning-fast runs but still has enough substance for comfortable chord work.
  • TCI “S” humbuckers: These pickups are pure musical magic — versatile, dynamic and ready to handle anything from smooth cleans to roaring gain.
  • 3-way toggle pickup switch: Flick to the bridge for punchy aggression, the neck for creamy leads or the middle position for a blend that’s pure tonal gold.
  • Coil-tap mini toggle switches: Eight pickup configurations at your fingertips! Flip from humbuckers to single-coils (and everything in between) in seconds. Maximum versatility, zero fuss.
  • PRS patented tremolo: The trem that made PRS famous back in the ’80s. Buttery-smooth vibrato, rock-solid tuning stability and sustain for days. Dive bombs? No problem.
  • Included PRS SE gig bag: Perfect for keeping your new pride and joy safe at home or hauling it to rehearsals and gigs in style.

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.

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.

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.
