PRS Custom 24 - USA 2004

Few guitars have made as much of an impact on the modern electric market as the PRS Custom 24. Originally introduced in 1985 as the flagship model of Paul Reed Smith’s rapidly growing brand, the Custom 24 quickly became a favourite among professional musicians for its effortless playability, versatile tone, and exceptional craftsmanship. Built to bridge the gap between vintage warmth and modern precision, the Custom 24 is the guitar that put PRS on the map, combining elegant aesthetics with rock-solid reliability and innovation.

This 2004 PRS Custom 24, serial number 485515, is a prime example of what makes these guitars so special. Finished in a stunning Cherry Burst, it showcases PRS’s impeccable attention to detail, from the beautifully carved maple top to the flawless set-neck construction. This example is all original and in excellent condition, with only a few minor marks visible. The PRS Phase II locking tuners keep tuning rock-solid, while the HFS (Hot, Fat, Screams) treble pickup and Vintage bass pickup deliver the unmistakable PRS clarity, sustain, and power. Whether you’re after singing leads, tight rhythm tones, or pristine cleans, this Custom 24 does it all with style.

Playability is second to none, with PRS’s signature Wide Thin neck profile providing effortless access across all 24 frets. The patented PRS tremolo system adds versatility without compromising tuning stability, making it equally at home in the studio or on stage. Renowned for their consistency, PRS guitars have been a go-to for players who demand perfection from their instruments. This 2004 Custom 24 is no exception – a beautifully crafted, sonically versatile guitar that lives up to PRS’s world-class reputation.
