PRS Custom 24 10-Top Electric Guitar in Aurora Borealis

Please note: The images currently on this listing are of the standard Custom 24 model to demonstrate the finish colour only.

The Custom 24 is the definitive PRS guitar. Unveiled at the 1985 NAMM Show, this stellar six-string was PRS’ very first production model and it remains their most popular instrument even today. Distinctive for its flying bird fingerboard inlays, dual humbuckers, 24 frets and ergonomic contours — the Custom 24 is considered a modern classic among guitarists.

Key Features

• Pattern Thin - Comfortable and ergonomic the PRS Pattern Thin neck shape still feels like home however in a thinner package for an even more rapid feeling neck profile.
• Phase III Locking Tuners - The perfect blend of vintage aesthetic and modern design. Utilising unplated brass shafts for unparalleled tonal transfer as well as precision gear ratios for effortless tuning the Phase III tuners are possibly the most thought-out guitar tuners.
• Patented Tremolo Gen III - The most recent incarnation of the famed PRS Tremolo System. Meticulously designed with improved string vibration transfer for an even more defined and bigger tone with improved tuning stability.

The Coveted PRS 10-Top

This particular guitar boasts one of PRS' famed Flamed Maple 10-Tops – a body top with a bold, consistent grain without a single blemish or imperfection. Each piece of 10-Top timber is hand-selected not only for its beautiful grain, but also for its density, resonance, and symmetry.

These striking woods are truly a sight to behold – you won’t be able to take your eyes off it!
