Let's roll our clocks back and get back to where we started from – the PRS Custom 24 in a Black Gold Wraparound Burst finish. As arguably the quintessential PRS guitar, this model was the first debuted by Paul Reed Smith at the 1985 Winter NAMM Show. This bona fide trendsetter of a guitar has retained a fan-favorite status ever since its release among world-renowned players, aspiring musicians and everyone else in between. As influential today as it was in 1985, the Custom 24 embodies decades of stellar musicality for the players of today to carry on in.

The Custom 24 lays it out at its essence with a solid body brought together by a mahogany back and maple top. Shaped finely with a violin top carve, this combination of woods makes for an effortless instrument to maneuver in hand and a captivating visual piece under its high-gloss nitrocellulose finish. This PRS bears an instantly-recognizable double cutaway shape and is carefully contoured for easy sliding under the arm. A mahogany neck shaped in a PRS Pattern Thin profile extends from the classic double cutaway shape to inspire fast moves from higher to lower registers.

This playing experience across the palm is matched on the fingers with a rosewood fingerboard lined with twenty-four frets. Measuring with a ten-inch radius, this board is effortlessly fretted and articulately played. That required element of PRS style is fulfilled with the board's PRS Birds fret inlays, dropping in an iconic visual motif.

For its knockout voice, PRS equips the Custom 24 with two PRS 85/15 humbucking pickups. These expressive and powerful pickups are fitted with a five-way blade pickup selector switch to roll and click through a colorful spectrum of tones – perfect for hitting creative highs and finding new musical trails to trek.

The sonic experience of this PRS gets an extra push with a number of fine hardware specifications. Onboard, strings are grounded with a PRS Patented Tremolo Gen III tremolo bridge that allows for deep and expressive vibrato bends in playing. At the Custom 24's headstock, six PRS Phase III Locking tuners with wing buttons appear to stabilize strings with modern locking technology and vintage elegance. These tuning machines are designed to be a lighter weight and promote tone transfer for a louder and more resonant instrument. Finally, this PRS classic comes with a PRS hardshell case to make sure this true-blue original travels safely.

A guitar you can trace the entire PRS legacy back to, the Custom 24 carries with it all the style and sound you've come to expect from the name. Perfectly balancing several generations of modernity, this electric icon has it all.
