The PRS Custom 24 started out in 1985 as the core of the Paul Reed Smith line and has continued to maintain that place since. Made out of beautiful mahogany and maple, the PRS Custom 24 looks just as good as it plays, which is very splendidly. The most standout feature of the PRS Custom 24 that you can see just by looking at it is its unique style and shape. The body of the Paul Reed Smith Custom is expertly carved and crafted into a beautiful representation of all that is musical and art. The aesthetic beauty of the Custom 24 doesn't stop there though, it even continues on to the neck. The 24 fret neck is carved out of rosewood and is inlaid with Abalone Birds.
Although the PRS Custom is indeed breathtakingly beautiful, that isn't the best thing about it by far. Ask any guitar professional about the PRS Custom 24 and one of the first words out of their mouths will be “tone”. The PRS 24 has a unique custom rock sound to it that is easily identifiable, even when other guitars are playing at the same time. The sound is very clean and crisp, amazingly even when distorted! However, although most use the Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 for its unique classical rock tone, the guitar is easily manipulated into sounding like almost anything you want and yet, at the same time reserving that tone that simply is the PRS Custom.
For most guitars having quality tone and look are good enough, but not for the PRS Custom 24. PRS takes the idea of a perfect guitar one step further and adds an assortment of features that every guitar player dreams of. The first and foremost of this features is the legendary Phase II low mass locking tuners which makes the guitar incredibly easy to tune and maintain quality tone. The PRS Custom 24 also features a 5-way rotary pickup selector, but is available with the option of a 5-way blade pickup selector if you want it. Finally, PRS even manages to give their own twist on volume and tone control with custom gold knobs that really accent the unique style of the guitar.
The PRS Custom 24 is truly a work of art; aesthetically pleasing, possessing a unique and clean tone, and packed full of bonus features. This is why the PRS Custom 24 is still in high demand today and if you can get your hands on one, there is no doubt you should get it as fast as you can!
