About the Guitar
Faded Whale Blue top. The blue lets the figuring of the 10 Top show, and the stained neck carries the color through the whole guitar.
Black Limba back. Replaces the mahogany back normally found on a Custom 24, giving this run a different wood package from the standard model.
Figured Maple neck. Stained to match the top, with the Pattern Thin profile that keeps the familiar Custom 24 feel.
Ziricote. The dark fretboard and matching headstock veneer contrast with Faded Whale Blue and the stained maple.
Inlays. Old School Birds with Mother of Pearl outlines and Green Select centers. The green pairs well with the blue.
Electronics. DMO Treble and Bass pickups with volume, tone and a 5-way blade selector.
Stoptail. The PRS Stoptail with Brass Inserts replaces the usual tremolo. It suits players who want the 24-fret Custom 24 with the simplicity and direct feel of a fixed bridge.

PRS Expertise at Northeast Music Center
With 30 years of Jack Gretz selling PRS guitars and 15 years of Northeast Music Center representing PRS, we have worked with production Core instruments, limited editions, Wood Library builds, unusual dealer specifications and Private Stock guitars. We don’t judge a limited release only by how many were produced. We look at whether the woods, hardware, electronics, finish and concept give the guitar a real reason to exist alongside the standard model. This one does: the Figured Maple 10 Top, Black Limba back, stained neck, Ziricote and stoptail give it a clear identity. Serial number 0429704 is one of only 100 in Faded Whale Blue.
Available now at Northeast Music Center with its PRS D1 molded hardshell case.
