Scorching PRS tone
Punch. Drive. Exceptional clarity. That's exactly what you get with the Custom 24. Because PRS have loaded it with a pair of custom 85/15 humbuckers to ensure you hit the heights of performance. A breakthrough in pickup design at the time, the hailed treble and bass pickups were originally crafted in 1985 to get single-coil tones out of a noise-cancelling humbucker. And they still flourish to this day. Renowned for their distinctive modern-vintage sound, the PRS 85/15s kick out anything from sparkling cleans to all-out distortion, whilst maintaining astonishing clarity and note definition.
It meets the demands of the modern musician. Featuring a five-way selector, tone, and volume controls, players have the freedom to sculpt their tone to get the exact sound they want. So you can easily switch up your guitar's voice to excel in any genre you wish and it'll continue to maintain that hallmark PRS character. To top it off, there are two options for coil split within the pickup selection to offer even more versatility in your playing, ensuring your creativity bears no restriction.
Play without limits
Ultimately, a guitar should spark creativity – not restrict it. Which is why every aspect of the Custom 24 is constructed with playability in mind. Experience easy transitions across the entirety of the fretboard thanks to an ultra-smooth rosewood surface. It's combined with a sleek mahogany neck that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, entailing endless hours of comfortable practice and performance. Enjoy effortless access to the upper frets with an ergonomic, dual-cutaway body design. So, whether you're shredding up high or unleashing fat, low-end riffs – the 24 offers a feel that's tailored for the player.
Innovate your sound
It doesn't stop at playability, though. A classic PRS Gen III Tremolo bridge opens up a new world of sonic possibilities. Dive bombs, vibrato – you name it. The Custom 24 can do it all. And, thanks to its meticulous design, you can have confidence that your strings will return to their original tuning after you're done hammering your riffs away. Because PRS know what's required for world-class performance, and they've delivered just that.
True individual style
It demands audience attention. With a finish so eye-catching and unique, how could it not? A flame top provides a breathtaking aesthetic, showcasing the Custom's sumptuous grain pattern. But its elegant design isn't just limited to the body. The iconic PRS bird inlays dance across the silky-smooth fretboard for even more individual flair. Topped off with a striking fire red finish, the Custom 24 simply radiates one-of-a-kind style. So, whether you're rehearsing, or playing live – it's all eyes on you.

PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups
PRS 85/15 "S" pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet — yet articulate — sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 85/15 "S" set packs a real sonic punch, from chimey cleans to full shred. The pickups are treated to PRS’s TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, which means the team at PRS has used their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The end result is a very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage, but updated for the modern player. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.
Advanced switching for eight distinct tones
The "-08" in this model's moniker refers to the eight distinct tones you can conjure. With the 3-way blade switch you can access the pickup positions you'd expect from a dual-humbucker guitar — neck only, neck plus bridge, and bridge only. The two mini-toggle switches allow you to explore five more combinations — each switch engages a coil tap for each pickup, giving you access to snappy, articulate single-coil tones.
PRS quality in every guitar
All Paul Reed Smith guitars are designed for performance, right out of the case — and the SE Custom 24-08 is no exception. Constructed from high-quality tonewoods and components, PRS instruments carry on a commitment to quality that's been the brand's hallmark since 1985, when Paul Smith began crafting guitars for some of the most elite players in the world. In fact, you'll often see a PRS SE in the touring rigs of the most well-respected PRS artists in the world.
With the PRS SE Custom 24-08 solidbody electric guitar, PRS brings one of their most sonically versatile guitars to their most affordable line of instruments. It's loaded with a pair of TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) humbucking pickups and advanced switching options to yield every type of tone a modern guitarist could ask for. Two mini toggle switches serve as coil taps for each pickup, allowing you to switch between fat humbucking tones and chiming single-coil tones instantly — there's even a "dual single-coil" mode unique to this model. Complete with PRS's Pattern Wide Thin neck profile for comfortably fast playability, there's a lifetime of musical exploration that's yours for the taking with the PRS SE Custom 24-08.
