The PRS Private Stock Custom 24 is the kind of guitar that stops you in your tracks—an instrument where artistry, tone and craftsmanship converge at the highest level. Its curly maple top and African mahogany body create a resonant and articulate foundation, offering sustain that blooms effortlessly under the fingers. A pattern regular mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a fast, confident feel across all 24 frets, making expressive bends, fluid legato and technical passages feel natural and controlled. Powered by a pair of 85/15 uncovered humbuckers, this Custom 24 moves easily between crystalline cleans, detailed mid-gain textures and bold modern drive.

85/15 Pickups Deliver Precision and Clarity
Uncovered 85/15 humbuckers give this Custom 24 a remarkably broad tonal palette, balancing vintage sweetness with modern articulation. Designed for definition across the frequency spectrum, they retain clarity under gain and respond dynamically to changes in pick attack. From tight, singing lead work to open, shimmering cleans, these pickups offer expressive range that suits players who need a guitar capable of moving fluidly between genres and styles.
Thoughtful Controls Enable Seamless Sound Shaping
A familiar combination of volume and tone controls pairs with a 5-way blade switch to unlock the Custom 24’s full tonal versatility. This intuitive layout lets players shift effortlessly between full humbucking power, nuanced split-coil textures and everything in between—ideal for live performers who need quick transitions or studio musicians shaping intricate layers. Each position feels deliberate and musical, supporting a wide variety of voices without complication.
Exquisite Craftsmanship Enhances Durability and Style
Every detail reflects the Private Stock team’s elevated approach. The Bahamian Blue high-gloss nitro finish illuminates the curly maple top’s dimensional figuring, while the African mahogany body keeps the instrument lightweight and resonant. Hybrid hardware—including the PRS patented tremolo and Phase III locking tuners—ensures tuning stability and long-term reliability. Natural body binding, a bone nut and carefully matched components showcase the precision and aesthetic intent behind the build.
Premium Neck and Fingerboard for Smooth Playability
A figured mahogany neck carved to PRS’s pattern regular profile provides a balanced, inviting feel suited for both chordal playing and fast lead work. The 25" scale and ebony fingerboard with a 10" radius deliver smooth, controlled action across narrow frets, supporting expressive vibrato and articulate phrasing. Maple-resin bird inlays offer a modern, elegant touch, and the high-gloss nitro finish enhances the neck’s luxurious feel without hindering speed.
