collapse expand iconDescription

The Custom 24 is the original PRS¦the guitar Paul Reed Smith took to his first tradeshow in 1985. A perennial favorite with musicians, this model features a Pattern Thin mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fingerboard and 57/08 pickups wired to a redesigned 5-way blade switch, which offers a dual humbucker option for the first time (see switching positions below). In 2008, PRS introduced 57/08 pickups, which were designed to capture a vintage ˜50s humbucking tone.

Pickup Switching Positions:
Position One: Bridge humbucker
Position Two: Bridge humbucker with neck singlecoil, in parallel
Position Three: Bridge and neck humbuckers
Position Four: Neck singlecoil with bridge singlecoil, in parallel
Position Five: Neck humbucker
