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.   The Pattern Thin neck has a slim profile that will be easy to play all nicght long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 85\/15 pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith to offer remarkable clarity and extended high and low end.  These uncovered pickups provide remarkable clarity and extended high and low end, perfect for more modern applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2024, PRS Guitars updated the tuning machines on many of the Core guitars. While, aesthetically, the 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular guitar is one of the coolest looking Custom 24's we've had here - the finish is called Purple Mist, and it's stunning.  The wood grain comes through quite nicely, and it's obviously that PRS picked a winner of a flame maple top for this one.  We were blown away when it landed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.  \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePickup Switching Positions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePosition One: Bridge humbucker\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePosition Two: Bridge humbucker with neck singlecoil, in parallel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePosition Three: Bridge and neck humbuckers\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePosition Four: Neck singlecoil with bridge singlecoil, in parallel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePosition Five: Neck humbucker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSPECIFICATIONS  \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBODY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTop Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eCarved Figured Maple\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBack Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNECK\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e25\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eMahogany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape: \u003c\/b\u003ePattern Thin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Wood: \u003c\/b\u003eRosewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Inlay: \u003c\/b\u003eBirds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHARDWARE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBridge: \u003c\/b\u003ePRS Patented Tremolo, Gen III\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTuners: \u003c\/b\u003ePRS Phase III Locking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardware Type: \u003c\/b\u003eNickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrings: \u003c\/b\u003e10's\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eELECTRONICS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTreble Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003e85\/15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBass Pickup: \u003c\/b\u003e85\/15\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eControls: \u003c\/b\u003eVolume and Tone Control with 5-Way Blade Switch\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart #\u003c\/strong\u003e 112786::PT:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/eFW8-usE-Tk\" height=\"200\" width=\"380\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41230982938805,"sku":"00PRS230","price":3990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2433\/files\/FenLRG_eccc4f42-d5ff-402a-b78b-c6fe2c449e03.jpg?v=1740201228","url":"https:\/\/www.truetonemusic.mom\/products\/prs-core-custom-24-purple-mist","provider":"Truetone Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
