PRS Custom 24-08 Electric Guitar Black
Description
The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar, the iconic instrument that started it all back in 1985. The Custom 24-08 keeps many of the foundational specs as the original Custom – maple top, mahogany back and neck, 24 frets, 25” scale length, the PRS patented Gen III tremolo – but adds a new level of versatility with its 85/15 TCI pickups and intuitive switching system. Featuring two mini-toggle coil-tap switches, the Custom 24-08 has eight different pickup settings that provide an array of humbucking and single coil tones, including a dual single coil option. For classic PRS playability, reliability, and tone with ultimate flexibility, check out the Custom 24-08.
TCI Pickups and Coil-Tap Switches Unlock a World of Tonal Possibilities
The Custom 24-08 is equipped with PRS 85/15 TCI pickups, known for their clarity, articulation, and vintage character. These pickups deliver a balanced tone that's equally suited for clean rhythms and soaring leads. The addition of two mini-toggle coil-tap switches allows you to access a wide range of sounds, from classic humbucker tones to sparkling single-coil voicings. This versatility makes the Custom 24-08 a true sonic chameleon, capable of handling any genre with ease.
Pattern Thin Neck and 24-Fret Rosewood Fingerboard Offer Unparalleled Playability
The Custom 24-08 features a Pattern Thin mahogany neck, known for its comfortable feel and smooth playability. This neck profile is ideal for both fast lead work and intricate chord voicings. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard provides a warm and resonant playing surface, with excellent articulation and sustain. The combination of the Pattern Thin neck and 24-fret fingerboard makes the Custom 24-08 a joy to play, whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate beginner.
PRS Patented Gen III Tremolo System Provides Expressive Pitch Control
The Custom 24-08 is equipped with the PRS patented Gen III tremolo system, offering smooth and stable pitch control. This tremolo system allows for expressive vibrato and dive bombs, while maintaining excellent tuning stability. The Gen III tremolo is a testament to PRS's commitment to innovation and quality, providing players with a reliable and versatile tool for sonic exploration.
Updated Hardware Enhances Tone and Aesthetics
For 2024, PRS Guitars is updating the tuning machines on many of our Core guitars. While, aesthetically, our new Wing buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons all the way back in 1982. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note. This attention to detail, even in the hardware, demonstrates PRS's commitment to crafting instruments that deliver exceptional tone and performance.
