The guitar that made PRS an icon.
The Custom 24 is the guitar that first made Paul Reed Smith's reputation when it debuted in 1985, and it's become an icon of the modern luthier's art in the decades since. Always boasting premium tonewoods, immaculate craftsmanship for incredible fit and finish, and innovative electronics and hardware like the Gen III tremolo system, Phase III locking tuners and clear, extended range 85/15 humbuckers, the Custom 24 is a dream instrument for many guitarists who refuse to settle for anything less.
