Description
PRS Custom 24 10-Top Electric Guitar - Purple Mist
The Custom 24 isn't just a guitar; it is the cornerstone of the PRS legacy. When Paul Reed Smith unveiled this model at the 1985 Winter NAMM show, he changed the trajectory of electric guitar manufacturing forever. At Palen Music Center, we consider the Custom 24 to be the gold standard for versatility and reliability. It has been the weapon of choice for countless legends, from the technical prowess of Dave Navarro to the soulful bends of Carlos Santana in his later years. This specific model features a stunning "10-Top," a designation PRS reserves only for maple tops with clearly defined, exceptional figuring across the entire surface, ensuring this instrument looks as incredible as it sounds.
Beneath that gorgeous Purple Mist finish lies a recipe for perfect tone: a mahogany back paired with that maple top creates a sound that is both warm and snappy, cutting through a mix without sounding harsh. The Pattern Thin mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard offer a lightning-fast playing experience that feels immediately comfortable in the hand. Whether you are playing complex jazz chords or high-gain leads, the 25-inch scale length provides the perfect string tension for effortless bending and distinct articulation.
Sonically, this Custom 24 is powered by PRS 85/15 pickups, personally designed by Paul Reed Smith to offer extended high and low-end clarity. Controlled by a 5-way blade switch, you can access everything from humbucking growl to single-coil sparkle. For 2024, PRS has also refined the Phase III locking tuners with new Wing buttons. While they look sleek, echoing the 12th fret bird inlay, their lighter weight allows the strings to vibrate more freely, helping the guitar sustain longer. It’s a modern classic that truly does it all.
