Used PRS 2003 Custom 24 10-Top - Vintage Yellow

PRS 2003 Custom 24 10-Top - Vintage Yellow

For over three decades, the PRS Custom 24 has been the cornerstone of the Paul Reed Smith brand. It was the original guitar that PRS brought to the Winter NAMM show in 1985, and it has been the company's flagship model ever since. The Custom 24 is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, offering the familiar comfort of a double-cutaway mahogany body with a stunning carved maple top, but with a unique 25-inch scale length that strikes the perfect balance between a traditional Les Paul and a Stratocaster. The result is a guitar that is both instantly familiar and distinctly its own.

This 2003 Custom 24 is a beautiful example of PRS's commitment to craftsmanship. Featuring a highly figured "10-Top" maple top in a classic Vintage Yellow finish, this guitar is as visually stunning as it is sonically rich. The mahogany body provides a warm and resonant foundation, while the HFS Treble and Vintage Bass pickups deliver a huge range of tones. From pristine cleans to high-gain aggression, these pickups offer incredible versatility. The original 5-way rotary switch allows for a variety of humbucking and single-coil tones, giving you a full palette of sounds to work with.

The Custom 24 has been the guitar of choice for countless legendary players, including Carlos Santana, who helped put PRS on the map. This guitar embodies that legacy, offering the same level of performance and inspiration that has made the Custom 24 a staple on stages and in studios worldwide. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, this pre-owned 2003 Custom 24 is a fantastic opportunity to own a piece of guitar history.
