PRS Custom 24 Private Stock Flame Mango Top, Natural Fat Back
S/N 0434514. Available now at Northeast Music Center
This Private Stock Custom 24 has a Flame Mango top in a Natural finish over an African Mahogany back and middle. “Fat Back” means the body has McCarty-style thickness (it does not refer to the neck carve). Other features include a Curly Mahogany neck, Brazilian Rosewood fretboard, Paua and Select Green Abalone Original Birds, DMO pickups and Smoked Black hardware. Because of the Brazilian Rosewood, it is USA only. A PRS Black Paisley hardshell case is included.

About the Guitar
Flame Mango top. The Natural finish lets the figuring and color of the wood show. High Gloss Nitro adds depth, and the Mango theme carries through to the headstock veneer.
Fat Back. The body has the thicker depth of a McCarty rather than standard Custom 24 thickness. The rest of the Custom 24 layout is unchanged: 24 frets, 25" scale, 10" radius, Pattern Thin neck, dual humbuckers and Gen III tremolo.
African Mahogany. The back and middle are African Mahogany, and the back plates are African Mahogany too instead of plastic.
Curly Mahogany neck. The figured neck has a High Gloss Nitro finish and a Pattern Thin carve, so the body is substantial while the neck stays slim and fast.
Brazilian Rosewood. The fretboard and truss rod cover are Brazilian Rosewood, which makes this guitar USA only.
Inlays. Original Birds with outlines and the Old School Eagle. The centers are Paua and the outlines are Select Green Abalone. Side dots are ivory.
DMO pickups and controls. DMO stands for Dynamic, Musical, Open. The push/pull tone control adds split-coil sounds.
Hardware. Smoked Black hardware, black pickup rings, black nut, black wing tuner buttons and clear lampshade knobs.
