PRS Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 10-Top Guitar Faded Whale Blue Pattern Thin Hybrid Hardware - 2016

Music Store Live is proud to present this beautiful PRS Custom 24 finished in a Faded Whale Blue over a heavily figured flame maple 10-Top! Flawless playability - that's a pretty good way to describe this Custom 24. The set up is, well, perfect. The action is low, the neck is straight, the intonation is right on the money and this guitar plays like butter on hot toast in every position. The Pattern Thin neck is as fast as they come and the laser beam accurate fretwork makes any style of music a joy to play. This axe can cut any gig in the world. Period. The tremolo system is to die for and you can get some of the most desirable sounds you can think of with the different pickup configurations so you can get the most out of the 85/15 pickups. The dark rosewood fretboard on this one will give you a warm and round tone and feels great under your hands and the hybrid hardware is reliable and a nice aesthetic touch. Another nice new touch for 2017 is an update to the awesome tremolo system that PRS has always used. They've always been extremely reliable and stable, but the new third generation PRS tremolo allows you to have the versatility and flexibility of a tremolo system while still having the sustain and intonation of a stop-tail. It's really quite impressive. This Custom 24 is for the player who wants to be inspired every time they pick up their instrument.

The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar. This iconic instrument was the first model that Paul Reed Smith brought to the public at PRS Guitars’ first Winter NAMM show in 1985 and has been a top seller ever since. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the Custom 24 features PRS’s patented tremolo system and PRS 85/15 treble and bass pickups with volume and tone controls and a 3-way pickup selector switch with push/pull tone control for coil-splitting. 85/15 pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith for PRS’s 30th Anniversary. They offer remarkable clarity and extended high and low end.

The Custom 24 is the original PRS. Since its introduction, it has offered a unique tonal option for serious players and defined PRS tone and playability.
