PRS Custom 24 Floyd 10-Top Electric Guitar, Purple Mist

The PRS Custom 24 Floyd 10-Top exists at the intersection of high-performance hardware and the design DNA that has defined PRS since the late ’80s. The original Custom 24 was the flagship model Paul Reed Smith introduced in 1985, combining refined aesthetics with modern electronics and ergonomic improvements over traditional electric designs. This version, equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo system and a locking nut, leans even further into contemporary territory—built to handle the demands of precision players who aren’t shy about expressive pitch control.

The body is built around a carved 10-Top figured maple cap selected for its clearly defined figuring, set over a mahogany back for tonal density and visual depth. The neck follows PRS’s wide thin profile—built for speed without sacrificing comfort—joined to the body with a traditional set-neck construction. A 14" radius ebony fingerboard offers a flat and fast playing surface, housing 24 frets and marked with the brand’s iconic bird inlays.

Electronics are anchored by a pair of 85/15 “S” pickups voiced for extended highs and lows while retaining articulation under gain. Coil-tap functionality via a push/pull tone control and a 3-way blade switch adds flexibility without cluttering the layout. The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking system, paired with a PR-11 locking nut, ensures reliable tuning stability under the most aggressive vibrato use—critical for players pushing both pitch and dynamics.

Finished in Purple Mist and shipped in a PRS-branded gig bag, this model isn’t trying to chase vintage tone myths. It’s designed to be precise, expressive, and dependable—an unapologetic performance tool in the skin of a Custom 24.
