PRS's Custom 24 with Floyd Rose "Original" tremolo stands as the flagship model that launched the brand at Winter NAMM in 1985 and remains a cornerstone instrument for players who demand stability under extreme playing conditions. The pairing of a Floyd Rose double–locking system with PRS's metal pickups creates an instrument engineered for aggressive, pitch–bending work. String locking occurs at both nut and bridge, preserving tuning integrity through dive–bombs and sustained whammy explorations that would destabilise conventional tremolo setups.
The Faded Whale Blue finish wraps a bolt–on construction delivering the tonal clarity PRS has refined across decades. New Wing tuning machines replace heavier metal predecessors, reducing mass at the headstock to allow strings to vibrate longer and sustain with greater musicality–a refinement rooted in 1982 design philosophy. The Floyd Rose "Original" employs high–grade steel construction throughout, whilst the locking nut mechanism works in concert with bridge locking to achieve the precise intonation stability required for extended range work and effects–heavy applications.
This configuration serves session and touring musicians tackling modern rock, progressive, and experimental repertoires where tremolo systems face consistent demand. The hard case inclusion addresses touring logistics, protecting an investment across transport and venue changes. Players prioritising tuning stability during physically demanding performances–whether studio tracking or live stages–will recognise the engineering commitment to eliminating drift across set lengths.
