The One That Started It All
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 Gen III tremolo system and PRS 85/15 pickups with volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade switch. 85/15 pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith to 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.
For 2024, PRS Guitars is updating the tuning machines on many of our Core guitars. While, aesthetically, our new Wing buttons are designed to echo the 12th fret bird wingspan design, they were first and foremost designed for tonal reasons all the way back in 1982. Because these buttons are lighter weight than their metal predecessors, they are subtracting less energy from the vibrating strings, thus helping the guitar ring longer and at a more musical note.

About the Seller
Product Overview
The Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 is the company's flagship model – the first guitar that Paul brought to Winter NAMM in 1985 and still among PRS' best-selling instruments. The Custom 24's beautifully carved maple top comes in a range of finishes, from three-dimensional "10 Tops" to more understated, subtle flame and back again. This top is paired a mahogany back, mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard, creating a truly balanced sound. The neck can come with one of a couple different shapes to suit most any player, from Tom Johnston of the Doobie Brothers to modern shredders like Mark Holcomb of Periphery. More recent Custom 24s come with the PRS-designed 85/15 bridge and neck pickups and five-way switching with coil-tapping, producing a bewildering amount of tones that have made these guitars the go-to favorites of touring artists and studio guitarists for more than three decades.
