PRS Wood Library Custom 24 10-Top Quilted Maple - Jade (Natural Back)
The PRS Custom 24 isn't just an electric guitar; it's the legendary icon that launched a brand and forever changed the landscape of modern rock and fusion. Since Paul Reed Smith introduced this masterpiece in 1985, it's been the perfect marriage of vintage feel and cutting-edge innovation. This particular Wood Library Custom 24 takes that legacy even further, featuring a breathtaking Flame Maple neck that dramatically brightens the Custom 24's voice, adding unparalleled snap and articulation to its already versatile sound.
Prepare to be mesmerized by the 10-Top Quilted Maple in a vivid Jade finish with a gorgeous natural back. The depth and three-dimensional figure of this wood is pure artistry, ensuring this guitar is as much a collector's piece as it is a working instrument. The neck, a rare find from the PRS Wood Library, is the sonic secret weapon here. While a traditional neck offers warmth, this Flame Maple delivers a sharp, immediate attack, stunning clarity, and a quick, lively response. This sonic snap perfectly complements the resonant Swamp Ash body, which provides a clear, punchy, and articulate tonal foundation with great sustain. This meticulous marriage of premium tonewoods creates a bold, open tone that is both detailed and incredibly rich.
This axe is powered by a pair of world-class PRS 58/15 humbuckers. These pickups deliver the classic vintage tone PRS is known for, offering a warm, articulate sound with exceptional clarity and a vocal quality. They excel whether you're playing crystal-clean arpeggios or pushing an amplifier into saturated, harmonically rich overdrive—especially with the flexible push/pull coil-split on the tone knob. This model’s incredible versatility and supreme playability, courtesy of the comfortable Pattern Thin neck, are why the Custom 24 has been the go-to guitar for artists across the spectrum, from progressive rock icon Alex Lifeson of Rush to modern powerhouse Mark Tremonti of Alter Bridge. This is truly a world-class instrument destined to be the crown jewel of any collection.
