PRS SE Custom 24

The Custom 24 is the definitive PRS guitar. Unveiled at the 1985 NAMM Show, this stellar six-string was PRS’ very first production model and it remains their most popular instrument even today. Distinctive for its flying bird fingerboard inlays, dual humbuckers, 24 frets, 25" scale and ergonomic contours — the Custom 24 is considered a modern classic among guitarists.

This affordable SE version of the iconic Custom 24 possesses all of those signature features, with the addition of a Floyd Rose tremolo system that ensures rock-solid tuning stability. Finished in a gorgeous Charcoal Burst colour, this instrument's versatile sonics and remarkable playability makes it suitable for all styles.

The PRS SE Custom 24 Floyd sports a Mahogany body, delivering a warm sound with plenty of harmonic richness in the mid-range. Adorned with an amazing Flamed Maple top veneer 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 bright-sounding Maple neck shaped to PRS' contemporary "Wide Thin" profile. While the material adds plenty of top-end snap to give notes more immediacy, the unique neck carve provides an incredibly modern and playable feel. The neck is also topped with a silky smooth Ebony fingerboard that offers a luxurious touch under the fingers.

The pickups in this guitar are based on the acclaimed 85/15 humbuckers that have recently been used in PRS' US-made "Core" Custom 24 models. Paul Reed Smith famously said that these would have been the perfect pickups back in 1985 because they're hot enough to give you all of the punchy high-gain tones you'd ever need, but they clean up beautifully too. Crystal-clear and articulate — without any top-end harshness!

Although this particular model may be a part of the budget-friendly SE line, PRS spared no expense when it came to the instrument's hardware appointments. The Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo allows you to pull off divebombs, flutters and any whammy bar acrobatics you desire — without losing tune! At the other end of the guitar you’ll find a set of PRS-designed machine heads, made from high-quality materials that'll provide a lifetime of reliable use.
