Since its debut at the 1985 Winter NAMM show, the PRS Custom 24 has remained the flagship model that launched Paul Reed Smith’s guitar empire. This quintessential instrument represents everything PRS Guitars stands for, combining innovative design with exceptional craftsmanship that has captivated players across all skill levels for nearly four decades.
The Custom 24 has earned its reputation through consistent performance in the hands of internationally touring artists, working musicians, and developing players alike. Its enduring popularity stems from a carefully balanced combination of premium features and reliable construction that makes it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
At the heart of this iconic guitar lies PRS’s patented Gen III tremolo system, paired with specially designed 85/15 pickups that Paul Reed Smith personally developed. These pickups provide remarkable clarity whilst extending both the high and low frequency response, controlled through intuitive volume and tone controls alongside a versatile 5-way blade switch configuration.
