The One That Started It All

The PRS Custom 24 is the quintessential instrument that started it all for Paul Reed Smith Guitars, defining core tone and playability since its legendary debut at the 1985 Winter NAMM show. This limited-edition iteration elevates the iconic solid body platform with a visually spectacular, violin-carved Artist Grade Quilted Maple top finished in a striking high-gloss nitrocellulose Faded Indigo. Built with a resonant mahogany back and a one-piece mahogany neck, this guitar is engineered to offer serious players an unparalleled combination of balanced frequency response, mid-range punch, and natural acoustic sustain.

Designed for effortless ergonomics, the mahogany neck features the lightning-fast Pattern Thin profile paired with a premium 10-inch radius ebony fingerboard and striking, old-school Awabi Bird inlays. Sonically, the Custom 24 is driven by a calibrated set of proprietary DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) treble and bass pickups. Personally designed by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS engineering team, these pickups deliver a wide-open sound with a distinct vocal character that remains clear across all frequencies. Anchored by top-tier hardware, including the patented Gen III tremolo and Phase III locking tuners with lightweight wing buttons, this masterpiece provides rock-solid tuning stability, maximized tone transfer, and elite versatility for the stage or studio.
