PRS Custom 24-08 Electric Guitar in Faded Whale Blue

The PRS Custom 24-08 in Faded Whale Blue is a masterclass in versatility and classic design, embodying the very essence of the iconic Custom 24 that launched PRS into the spotlight in 1985. Retaining the foundational elements that made the original a legend—such as the maple top, mahogany back and neck, 24 frets, and a 25” scale length—this model elevates the experience with innovative TCI pickups and dual EQ mini-toggle switches. These additions provide players with an expanded tonal palette, allowing for seamless transitions from spanky single-coil sounds to full, rich soapbar tones.

At the heart of the Custom 24-08 are the TCI pickups, designed to deliver a full, musical sound that captures the best qualities of both single-coil and soapbar pickups. The two EQ mini-toggle switches act as high-pass filters when engaged, removing low-end frequencies to enhance clarity and bring out sparkling highs. This feature, first introduced on the Private Stock John McLaughlin model, offers a fresh dimension of tonal control that complements the guitar’s classic playability and reliability.

Built with meticulous attention to detail, the guitar features the PRS patented Gen III tremolo system and Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons, ensuring exceptional tuning stability and superior tone transfer. The set mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard and elegant bird inlays provides a comfortable, fast-playing experience, ideal for both studio sessions and live performances. The high-gloss nitro finish in Faded Whale Blue adds a stunning visual appeal, making this guitar as beautiful as it is functional.

For players seeking a guitar that combines the timeless qualities of the PRS Custom 24 with modern innovations in tone shaping and hardware, the Custom 24-08 is a compelling choice that delivers unparalleled flexibility and performance.
