About the Guitar
Purple Mist top. The purple finish leaves the maple figuring visible. The stained neck carries the color through the whole guitar.
Black Limba back. A change from the traditional Custom 24 recipe. Its grain contrasts with the Purple Mist top and stained neck.
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 the Purple Mist maple.
Inlays. Old School Birds with Mother of Pearl outlines and Green Select centers.
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 a fixed bridge, and it leaves more of the top uninterrupted.

PRS Experience at Northeast Music Center
With 30 years of Jack Gretz selling PRS guitars and 15 years of Northeast Music Center representing PRS, our experience spans Core instruments, limited releases, special dealer runs, Wood Library guitars and Private Stock. We think a limited-production number should complement a strong specification, and this guitar’s materials work together: the Purple Mist top, matching stained neck, Black Limba back and Ziricote. For the PRS player or collector who wants a Custom 24 that departs from the standard formula, serial number 0429257 combines one-of-100 scarcity with exceptional woods and the simplicity of a stoptail.
Available now at Northeast Music Center with its PRS D1 molded hardshell case.
