Since 1985, the PRS Custom 24 has stood as the definitive expression of Paul Reed Smith’s vision, establishing itself as the cornerstone model that launched PRS Guitars into the spotlight at their inaugural Winter NAMM show. This iconic instrument continues to be a top seller, trusted by internationally touring artists, working musicians, and developing players who demand exceptional quality and versatility.
The Custom 24 showcases PRS’s patented Gen III tremolo system alongside the specially crafted 85/15 pickups, which Paul Reed Smith personally designed to provide outstanding clarity with extended high and low frequency response. The guitar features intuitive volume and tone controls paired with a 5–way blade switch, offering comprehensive tonal flexibility for any musical situation.
As the original PRS model, the Custom 24 has consistently provided serious players with a distinctive tonal character that defines the PRS sound. Its combination of innovative design, superior playability, and unique sonic qualities has made it an enduring favourite that continues to set the standard for modern electric guitars.
