PRS Custom 24 Wood Library Quilt Maple PS Dirty Blonde Stained Neck (s/n:3445)

Available Now at Northeast Music Center!

PRS Custom 24 Wood Library 10 Top Quilted Maple PS Dirty Blonde Stained Neck WL 02818 (s/n:0433445)! Guitar comes with PRS D1 Molded Hardcase!

This is a really well put together Custom 24.

Part of our WL 02818 Wood Library run, this guitar starts with a 10 Top Quilt Maple top in PS Dirty Blonde over a Mahogany back. The Dirty Blonde finish over this exceptional 10 Top Quilted Maple really allows for the figuring to show thru, and PRS carried the look onto the Figured Maple neck with a matching stain. Paired with the Ebony fretboard and headstock veneer, it makes for a great looking guitar from front to back.

The build gets even more interesting when you get into the details. We went with a Pattern Thin Figured Maple neck, Ebony fretboard, J-Birds, McCarty III pickups and the PRS Gen III tremolo. It's a combination that gives this Wood Library its own character without getting too far away from what makes a Custom 24 such a versatile guitar in the first place.

The J-Birds are particularly nice on this one, with Green Select Abalone outlines and Paua centers against the dark Ebony board. Black pickup rings, switch tip and tuner buttons tie in nicely with the Ebony without making the guitar overly busy.

McCarty III Pickups

We chose covered McCarty III pickups with a simple Volume, Push/Pull Tone and 3-Way Toggle arrangement.

It's an easy control layout to live with, and the push/pull tone adds another layer of flexibility without covering the guitar in switches. Between that electronics package, the 24-fret layout, Pattern Thin neck and Gen III tremolo, this is a Custom 24 that's very much meant to be played—not just admired for the Wood Library spec.

A Small Detail That Means a Lot to Us

You'll also notice something on this guitar that you won't find on a standard Custom 24: the Jack Gretz / Northeast Music Center & PRS Guitars 30/15 Anniversary truss rod cover.

2026 marks 30 years of Jack Gretz selling PRS guitars and 15 years of Northeast Music Center representing PRS. We've watched PRS evolve through a lot of guitars during that time, and Wood Library has become one of our favorite parts of the relationship because it gives us the opportunity to put together instruments like this one.

It's a small detail on the guitar, but a pretty meaningful one for us.

Northeast Music Center

Wood Library guitars have become a big part of what we do at Northeast Music Center, but we still look at them the same way we always have: the specs have to make sense together and the finished guitar has to be something we'd be excited to own ourselves.

This Dirty Blonde Custom 24 checks those boxes. The quilt, stained Figured Maple neck and Ebony work beautifully together, while the Pattern Thin carve, McCarty III pickups and Gen III tremolo make it a very usable Custom 24 underneath all of the Wood Library appointments.

If you're considering serial number 0433445 and want to know more about the guitar, give us a call at Northeast Music Center. We're happy to talk through the build, compare it with another PRS we have in stock, or take additional photos of anything you'd like to see.
