A PRS Legend: The Custom 24, the Brand's Cornerstone

The PRS Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar. Introduced to the public in 1985 at PRS Guitars' first Winter NAMM show, it defined the brand's DNA: a high-end solidbody, versatile and designed for both stage and studio. This 2025 model version continues the original spirit while integrating modern updates, including the PRS Gen III tremolo and DMO pickups, engineered to deliver a wide and musical range.

Who Is This PRS Custom 24 For?

The Custom 24 is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a central guitar capable of shifting from detailed cleans to dense saturations without losing definition. Thanks to its 5-position selector and dual humbuckers, it excels in rock, pop, fusion, modern funk, gritty blues, and melodic metal. Its Thin neck profile and 24 frets promote speed and soloing, while remaining comfortable for rhythm playing.

The Sound

The combination of a mahogany body and carved maple top provides a highly sought-after balance: rich and singing mids, a solid low-end foundation, and a sharper attack in the highs. The PRS DMO pickups emphasize an open and expressive output with a vocal character that remains pleasant across the entire frequency spectrum. The wiring with volume, tone, and 5-position selector allows for multiple tonal signatures: full and powerful sounds for leads, as well as finer, more articulated textures for complex chords. The PRS Gen III vibrato completes the setup with precise response, ideal for adding movement to notes without sacrificing stability.
