PRS Custom 24 Electric Guitar (Cobalt Smokeburst Finish) Hardshell Case Included

The One That Started It All

The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar. This iconic instrument was the first model that Paul Reed Smith brought to the public at PRS Guitars’ first Winter NAMM show in 1985 and has been a top seller ever since. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the Custom 24 features PRS’s patented Gen III tremolo system and PRS 85/15 pickups with volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade switch. 85/15 pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith to offer remarkable clarity and extended high and low end.

The Custom 24 is the original PRS. Since its introduction, it has offered a unique tonal option for serious players and defined PRS tone and playability.

For 2024, PRS Guitars is updating the tuning machines on many of our Core guitars. While, aesthetically, our new Wing buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons all the way back in 1982. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note.

Features:

• Mahogany body provides a warm and resonant tonal foundation
• Maple 10-Top supplies tonal brightness and visual appeal
• Pattern Thin mahogany neck offers slick playability
• 24 nickel frets and rosewood fingerboard play like a dream right out of the case
• 85-15 pickups and a 5-way switch give you plenty of tones to choose from
• Phase III tuning machines improve stability
• PRS patented tremolo offers expressive playing options
