Paul Reed Smith
PRS Custom 24 Pattern Thin Neck - Charcoal Burst
Product Description
The PRS Custom 24 is the iconic guitar that launched Paul Reed Smith Guitars to the world at the first Winter NAMM show in 1985. Revered by professional touring artists and serious players alike, the Custom 24 remains the definitive PRS model, delivering exceptional versatility, precision craftsmanship, and unmistakable PRS tone.
Built with a maple top and mahogany back, the Custom 24 produces a balanced tonal character with articulate highs, warm mids, and excellent sustain. The mahogany Pattern Thin neck and rosewood fingerboard provide effortless playability, while the 24-fret design offers expanded range for modern lead and technical playing styles.
Equipped with PRS 85/15 pickups designed personally by Paul Reed Smith, the Custom 24 delivers remarkable clarity with extended high and low-end response. Combined with the 5-way blade switch, players can access a wide variety of tones suitable for everything from clean articulation to high-gain performance.
For 2024, the Custom 24 features updated PRS Phase III Locking Tuners with lightweight Wing Buttons, designed to enhance resonance and sustain by reducing energy loss from the vibrating strings. Paired with the PRS Gen III patented tremolo system, the result is outstanding tuning stability, musical sustain, and expressive performance capability.
