PRS Custom 24-08 10 Top Electric Guitar, Faded Whale Blue

Throwing all the way back to the very beginning, we have the PRS Custom 24-08 10 Top in a cool Faded Whale Blue. The Custom 24, the quintessential PRS, was the first guitar launched by the brand in 1985. Today's Custom 24-08 retains many of the great, foundational specifications with a new level of modern versatility. Altogether, this PRS is a classic among classics.

There's an authenticity and honesty to the Custom 24-08 that cannot be scripted. Falling in line with decades of fine PRS design and musicality, the Custom 24-08 sets off. A solid mahogany body kicks off this experience paired with a violin-carved maple top. These two tonewoods, imparting a bright and balanced tone right off the bat, combine in PRS's classic double-cutaway form. Enabling smooth handling and easy playing, this masterful body is a delight on every level.

Moving from here, the Custom 24-08 features a set one-piece mahogany neck. PRS's Pattern Thin neck profile shape makes an appearance with this guitar for a seamless grip in hand. Quick maneuvers across this guitar's full scale length are the name of the game with a rosewood fingerboard featuring twenty-four frets. The modern-feeling ten-inch radius is matched with that all-important visual element of PRS authenticity: the PRS Birds inlays.

Where the Custom 24-08 differs from the Custom 24 is in its added versatility. This manifests through its electronics. Onboard, this Custom 24-08 features two PRS TCI humbucking pickups that play with incredible warmth, clarity, and power. The pickups' three-way toggle switch rolls through three pickup configurations while this guitar's secret weapon reveals itself: its two EQ mini toggle switches. With these switches, players are allowed greater control over their frequencies as they shape each pickup's low-end frequencies to enhance tone and clarity to taste.

The hardware setup on this Custom 24-08 ties everything together splendidly. A PRS Gen III patented tremolo bridge lands at the body for stability and a solid transfer of motion from strings to base. PRS Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons align at the iconic PRS headstock for a fluid and easy stringing experience. Lightweight yet sturdy, these hardware specifications are primed for performance. Speaking of performance, if you're a traveling musician, this PRS travels with an included hardshell case for moving with safety from stage to stage.

As one of PRS's standby classics, the Custom 24-08 is a beauty and a beast. Ready for just about anything, PRS has you covered time after time.
