PRS Custom 24 10-Top Electric Guitar, Purple Mist

Sometimes, simple and elegant ticks all the boxes, take this PRS Custom 24 10-Top for example. Debuted in 1985 at the Winter NAMM show by Paul Reed Smith himself, the Custom 24 is the definitive PRS model. The years have been kind to the Custom 24, seeing multiple tweaks and refinements over the decades, but here we have the 2025 model that we're pretty excited about. 

The Custom 24 features a tone wood pairing that is timeless - a mahogany body paired with a flame maple top. The grain on this model is extremely expressive and is further amplified with the Purple Mist finish. The body sports a double-cutaway design for easy access to the upper frets and displays it's expertly crafted, signature violin top carve. 

Following tradition of a set-neck design, a 1-piece mahogany neck is attached to the body at and they meet at the 22nd fret. A premium rosewood board crowns the mahogany neck and is inlayed with the signature "Birds" inlay for fret markers. A pattern thin neck profile works together with the 25-inch scale length, 10-inch radius, and 24 frets to create a comfortable and expressive playing experience. 

To amplify this Custom 24's voice, PRS DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) humbucking pickups have been called to action. Personally designed by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS New Products Engineering team, the DMO pickups have a wide open sound with clarity across both neck and bridge positions. Tone can be refined further using the 5-way blade switch and volume/tone controls.

High quality hardware adds tuning stability, longevity, and reliability. The PRS Patented Tremolo Gen III bridge allows for expressive pitch control and string security. From there, the strings make contact with the nut before being tuned to pitch using the PRS Phase III Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons.

Complete with a PRS hard shell case, it is easy to see why the Custom 24 has been played for decades by touring artists and aspiring musicians.
