Since 1985, the Custom 24 has stood as the flagship model that launched PRS Guitars into the spotlight at their debut Winter NAMM show. This quintessential instrument represents the original vision of Paul Reed Smith and continues to be one of the company’s most popular guitars among professional touring musicians, working players, and dedicated enthusiasts alike.
The Custom 24 showcases PRS’s innovative Gen III tremolo system alongside the specially crafted 85/15 pickups, which Paul Reed Smith personally designed to achieve exceptional clarity with extended frequency response across both high and low ranges. The guitar’s electronics feature straightforward volume and tone controls paired with a versatile 5-way blade switch for comprehensive tonal options.
As the original PRS model, the Custom 24 has consistently provided serious players with a distinctive tonal character that has come to define the PRS sound and playing feel. This iconic instrument remains a cornerstone of the PRS lineup, maintaining its reputation for quality and performance across decades of musical evolution.
