Within the PRS family, the Custom 24 holds a special place: a model designed to be modern, ergonomic, and musical. The SE Custom 24-08 follows this philosophy by adding a major advantage for stage and studio: two mini switches that allow each humbucker to be split independently. The result: you retain the PRS humbucker tone while accessing airier and more incisive sounds when needed.
This PRS SE is particularly aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a single electric guitar capable of covering multiple genres without compromise. Comfortable in pop, rock, funk, blues, and modern metal, it handles both clean, percussive rhythms and dense distortions equally well. The Wide Thin profile and 24 frets encourage fluid playing, ideal for fast runs, extended chords, and solos in the upper register.
The combination of mahogany (warmth, low mids, sustain) and maple (attack, definition, brightness) provides a balanced, precise, and expressive foundation. The TCI "S" humbuckers deliver a tight and powerful sound in double-coil mode, with controlled lows and clear highs, perfect for crunch and modern distortion. In split mode, the response becomes clearer and more percussive, useful for open arpeggios, funk chops, or detailed cleans. The 3-position selector combined with the two mini switches turns the guitar into a true sonic Swiss Army knife, while the molded PRS vibrato offers a smooth feel and appreciated stability for nuances and effects.
To complement this solidbody electric guitar, you can choose a 6.35 mm jack cable (straight or angled depending on your use), a standard strap, and a stand suitable for electric guitars for safe storage. A tuner (pedal or clip-on) and a selection of picks are also relevant choices to fully exploit the versatility of the SE Custom 24-08.
