2024 PRS Custom 24 10-Top Electric Guitar - Faded Whale Blue

When Paul Reed Smith rolled into the 1985 NAMM show with the Custom 24, he wasn't just showing off a new guitar; he was changing the landscape of modern luthiery. This is the "Goldilocks" of electric guitars, sitting perfectly between the snap of a bolt-on and the sustain of a set-neck powerhouse. With its stunning 10-Top maple cap over a rich mahogany body, this Faded Whale Blue beauty offers a visual depth that matches its legendary tonal complexity.

Under the hood, you’ll find the 85/15 humbuckers—pickups Paul himself spent years perfecting. They deliver a massive frequency range, offering crystal-clear highs that never bite too hard and a low end that stays tight even when you’re pushing a high-gain stack. It’s no wonder this model has been the go-to for icons like Carlos Santana and Dave Navarro. Whether you’re chasing jazz fusion textures or arena-rock power, the Custom 24 provides the playability and reliability that have made it a staple on stages worldwide for over four decades.
