Sound Pure's Take

What a looker!  This extra clean, hardly played Ten-Top speaks for itself, from feel to finish to the five-way road to tonal glory offered by Paul's famous 85/15 pickups.  Our luthier needed to tweak the tremolo setup just a bit for maximum response and correct intonation but, aside from that, there just isn't anything we'd change about this beauty.  The touches of gold hardware contrast with the Charcoal Purple Burst for an effect that's nothing short of royal.

From Paul Reed Smith Guitars

The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar. This iconic instrument was the first model that Paul Reed Smith brought to the public at PRS Guitars’ first Winter NAMM show in 1985 and has been a top seller ever since. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the Custom 24 features PRS’s patented Gen III tremolo system and PRS 85/15 pickups with volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade switch. 85/15 pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith to offer remarkable clarity and extended high and low end.

The Custom 24 is the original PRS. Since its introduction, it has offered a unique tonal option for serious players and defined PRS tone and playability.
