PRS Private Stock Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar in Sub-Zero Glow

The Custom 24 is the original PRS guitar that put the brand on the map back in 1985. Fast forward to today, and the Custom 24-08 takes everything players love about that classic design and adds a whole new level of versatility.

This Private Stock example is something truly special, featuring an exotic Curly Maple top and neck with a Black Limba body and Ziricote fingerboard, finished in a stunning Sub-Zero Glow.

Legendary Custom 24 design, expanded

You still get all the hallmarks that made the Custom 24 iconic: 24 frets, a 25” scale length, PRS’s rock-solid Gen III tremolo and Phase III locking tuners. The difference lies in the electronics — PRS have added a pair of EQ mini-toggle switches that open up an impressive range of additional tones without sacrificing the guitar’s core voice.

TCI pickups & clever EQ switching

The dual TCI pickups deliver a rich, musical tone that captures the vibe of classic single-coils and soapbars — perfect for players who want it all. Engage the EQ mini-toggles and you’ll activate tuned high-pass filters that subtly reduce low-end content, allowing shimmering highs and enhanced definition to shine through. It’s a powerful, musically voiced alternative to traditional coil-splitting.

Paul Reed Smith on the Custom 24-08

“The EQ switches were developed with and first featured on the Private Stock John McLaughlin model in 2023. Both John and I felt that they offered a different, but just as versatile, sound that played a significant role in the musicality of that guitar. I am happy that we are now extending this feature into more models.” — Paul Reed Smith
