I am offering a PRS Custom 24 Fatback Wood Library 10-Top from 2015, a handcrafted in raised Stevensville, Maryland (USA), luxury version of the Custom 24 as a Wood Library option with a lightweight fatback swamp ash body (weighing 3.54kg in total!), beautifully figured 10-top flamed maple top, set-in “Artist Grade” flamed maple neck with standing annual rings and Pattern Thin neck profile, selected Gaboon ebony fingerboard with old-school crushed bird mother-of-pearl inlays including paua borders (!), versatile hot HH pickup configuration with a PRS 57/08 MT Bass at the neck and a PRS 59/09 MT Treble at the bridge, PRS USA Gen III tremolo bridge and PRS Phase III locking tuners in a brilliant purple blue fade high-gloss finish with hybrid gold/nickel hardware in excellent condition, including PRS Black Paisley luxury hard case, all manufacturer's papers, and professional setup with 10-gauge Elixir strings.

This PRS Custom 24 Fatback Wood Library is a dream instrument in every respect: perfect workmanship, breathtaking looks, outstanding playability, and a distinctive sound characterize this guitar.

The basis of this wonderful instrument is the selected woods from the PRS Wood Library program. Similar to the Private Stock category, models can be customized individually and independently of the wood combination typically used for a particular model.

This special Fatback 24 accordingly comes with a body made of hand-selected swamp ash, which produces more volume and sustain due to its deeper old-school body dimensions, while remaining incredibly lightweight at 3.54kg. Combined with a richly grained 10-top flamed maple top, which is perfectly showcased by the striking Custom Purple Blue Fade high-gloss finish, and a set-in flamed maple neck with standing annual rings in “Artist Grade” quality, the guitar offers a welcome visual and tonal change from standard mahogany, which already gives the guitar great acoustic resonance and amplifies an extremely clear, sparkling tone.

The selected pickup configuration, with a PRS 57/08 in the neck and a PRS 59/09 in the bridge, tends to be more geared towards vintage sounds, but also responds obediently and clearly to harder styles when the amp is cranked up.

A sound sample of a similar model (only with different tonewoods) can be found above at the end of the photo gallery.

The playing experience is absolutely flattering thanks to the thin pattern neck profile, Gaboon ebony fingerboard with a 10" radius, and 42.9mm nut width.
