The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar, the one that started it all in 1985. The SE Custom 24-08 packs that same foundational design into a more accessible package while massively expanding its tonal versatility. It keeps the classic body shape and comfortable playability PRS is known for but adds new switching options to help you cover any musical style.
Tones for Days
More tones, more textures, more triumphs. A beautiful instrument is just a wall ornament if it doesn't sound spectacular when you plug it in, and thankfully, the electronics in the SE Custom 24-08 are a massive sonic boost for gigging musicians. You get the thickness of humbuckers and the spanky snap of vintage single-coils — all at your fingertips.
TCI “S” Pickups: Tuned to PRS’s precise specifications, these pickups offer a sweet, full tonal foundation. They have enough punch for heavy rhythms but retain crystal-clear articulation, so your sound never gets muddy.
Two Mini-Toggle Coil-Tap Switches: Instantly split the humbuckers into true single-coils with these dedicated mini-toggles. You'll cut through any mix without fumbling with a push-pull pot.
Eight Pickup Configurations: Combine the three-way toggle and independent coil taps to unlock eight distinct tones. From thick rock riffs to funky, chiming rhythms, you have a studio's worth of sounds in one guitar.
Playability That Pushes Your Potential
Great tone demands a great canvas. The physical feel of the PRS SE Custom 24-08 is designed to get out of your way and let your hands do the talking. Every curve and fret is calibrated for maximum comfort, allowing you to play longer, fret faster, and express yourself without fighting the wood.
Wide Thin Maple Neck: Fast, fluid, and ridiculously comfortable. This neck profile offers the best of both worlds — it’s substantial enough for grabbing chords but slim enough for those searing, high-speed solos.
25” Scale Length & 24 Frets: Welcome to the Goldilocks zone of playability. This scale length provides the perfect string tension for effortless bends and snappy, articulate runs, while 24 frets give you two full octaves of prime real estate on that smooth rosewood fretboard.
PRS Patented Molded Tremolo: Go wild with your whammy bar. Dive-bomb, flutter, and shimmer with total confidence. This meticulously designed bridge offers exceptional player comfort and tonal transfer, all while maintaining rock-solid tuning stability, no matter how much you sweat.
Classic Looks, Built to Last
Let’s be honest: looks matter on stage. This guitar doesn’t just sound like a million bucks; it looks the part, too. PRS pairs premium tonewoods with eye-catching hardware to ensure you command attention before you even play a single note. Wood and wire working in perfect harmony.
Maple Top and Mahogany Back: This classic tonewood combination delivers the best of both worlds. A rich, resonant mahogany back provides warmth and sustain, while the maple top adds crisp high-end bite and visual flair.
Signature Bird Inlays: The iconic "Old School" bird inlays soaring across the fretboard are an unmistakable mark of PRS quality and craftsmanship that other musicians will instantly recognize.
Road-Ready Hardware: Equipped with precise PRS-designed tuners and shipped in a rugged PRS gig bag, this guitar is built to withstand the rigors of the road, the studio, and everywhere in between.
Your Workhorse Has Arrived
When relentless innovation meets a respected legacy, you get the PRS SE Custom 24-08. This guitar captures the soul of a time-tested classic while delivering the versatility of a modern rig. It's a reliable workhorse ready to conquer any stage, handle any session, and elevate your playing.
