Flame Maple 10 Top • Ziricote Fretboard • TCI Pickups • Smoked Black Hardware • PRS D1 Molded Hardshell Case
This is an exceptional Custom 24-08.
Finished in a gorgeous Private Stock Indigo color, serial number 0425217 combines a flame maple 10 Top with a stained figured maple neck, Ziricote fretboard and headstock veneer, Old School Outline Bird inlays and smoked-black hardware.
It's a striking combination that takes the iconic Custom 24 platform into much more exclusive territory.
Underneath those premium appointments is the latest evolution of the USA-made PRS Custom 24-08, featuring TCI pickups, independent EQ mini-toggle switches, 24 frets, Pattern Thin neck, Gen III tremolo and Phase III locking tuners.
This individual guitar is available now at Northeast Music Center and includes its PRS D1 molded hardshell case.
The visual centerpiece is the flame maple 10 Top finished in Private Stock Indigo.
Indigo gives the maple a deep blue-violet character that changes considerably depending on the lighting and viewing angle, while still allowing the flame figure to remain prominent.
The stained figured maple neck extends that visual theme beyond the body, while the naturally dramatic grain of the Ziricote fretboard and matching headstock veneer adds another layer of character.
Finish it with Old School Outline Birds and smoked-black hardware, and this becomes a Custom 24-08 that looks distinctly different from a standard Core production guitar.
The current Custom 24-08 uses PRS TCI Treble and Bass pickups paired with a master Volume, Tone, 3-way toggle and two independent EQ mini switches.
These mini toggles are different from conventional coil taps.
Mini Toggle Down: Flat EQ / High-Pass Filter Off
Mini Toggle Up: High-Pass Filter Engaged
Engaging the high-pass filter shelves low frequencies while allowing more high-frequency information through, creating additional clarity and a more open response.
Because each pickup has its own EQ switch, the neck and bridge can be adjusted independently.
The result is expanded tonal flexibility without turning the guitar into a complicated switching exercise.
This guitar's figured maple neck is carved to PRS's Pattern Thin profile and stained to complement the Indigo finish.
Paired with the Ziricote fretboard, it gives this particular Custom 24-08 a very different wood combination from the traditional mahogany-neck/rosewood-board Custom 24.
The familiar PRS geometry remains:
It's the fast, comfortable Custom 24 playing platform with a considerably more exotic specification.
The PRS Patented Gen III Tremolo provides the smooth feel, tuning stability and excellent vibration transfer expected from the USA Core platform.
At the headstock are PRS Phase III locking tuners with Wing buttons, combining secure tuning and quick string changes with PRS's lightweight tuner-button design.
The smoked-black hardware is particularly effective against the Indigo finish, giving the entire guitar a darker, more contemporary appearance.
