The One That Started It All
PRS Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition
Private Stock Color – Faded Indigo over Exceptional Flamed Maple
Some guitars capture your attention immediately. Others reveal their character gradually, rewarding every glance and every note with something new. This PRS Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition, finished in Private Stock Color Faded Indigo over an exceptional flamed maple top, is unmistakably one of the latter.
The Custom 24 has always represented the heart of the PRS lineup, and the Semi-Hollow version adds an unmistakable sense of openness and musicality to an already iconic design. Its voice is lively and expressive, offering remarkable resonance and harmonic bloom while retaining the precision, balance, and versatility that have defined the Custom 24 for generations of players.
For this Limited Edition, PRS has paired that celebrated platform with one of the most sophisticated finishes from its renowned Private Stock color palette. Faded Indigo flows effortlessly across the carved maple top, allowing the exceptional flame beneath to become part of the finish itself. As the light moves across the instrument, the maple seems to come alive, revealing long, perfectly defined ribbons of figure that shift between brilliant sapphire highlights and deep indigo shadows. It is an elegant presentation—never overstated, yet impossible to overlook.
This is not a Private Stock instrument. Rather, it is a Core Series Limited Edition distinguished by an exclusive Private Stock Color, offering players the opportunity to enjoy one of PRS's most sought-after finishes on one of the world's most respected production guitars. It is a combination that celebrates everything the Core Series represents while borrowing a touch of the artistry that has made the Private Stock program legendary.
After 31 years as a PRS Signature Dealer, we've had the privilege of watching the PRS story unfold through decades of remarkable instruments. We've seen Limited Editions come and go, Artist Packages evolve, and countless extraordinary tops pass through our showroom. Time has taught us that the instruments collectors remember aren't necessarily the most elaborate—they're the ones where every detail feels intentional.
This guitar embodies that philosophy.
The exceptional flamed maple top possesses the kind of symmetry and definition that has long been a hallmark of the finest PRS instruments. Combined with the graceful elegance of the semi-hollow construction and the understated sophistication of Faded Indigo, the result is a guitar that feels refined in every sense of the word. Nothing about it asks for attention, yet everything about it earns admiration.
At our dealership, we've always believed that the finest guitars reveal their greatness over time. The excitement of discovering an extraordinary finish is only the beginning. What truly matters is the experience every time you lift the guitar from its case, wrap your hand around the neck, and play the first chord. The finest PRS instruments continue to inspire long after the newness has faded, and this Limited Edition is exactly that kind of guitar.
Some Limited Editions become footnotes in the history of PRS. Others become benchmarks that enthusiasts remember years later. With its exceptional flamed maple top, exclusive Private Stock Color, and timeless Custom 24 Semi-Hollow platform, we believe this Faded Indigo Limited Edition belongs firmly in the latter category—a guitar that reflects not only the artistry of PRS, but also the enduring pursuit of excellence that has defined the brand from the very beginning.
The Custom 24 is the original PRS. Since its introduction, it has offered a unique option for serious players and defined PRS tone and playability.
Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the Custom 24 features a figured maple top and mahogany back with a 24-fret, 25” scale length mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard. Anchored by PRS’s patented Gen III tremolo and Phase III tuners with wing buttons the Custom 24 is known for its playability, versatility, and tuning stability.
The Custom 24 is outfitted with PRS DMO treble and bass pickups with volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade switch. DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS New Products Engineering team. From our own hands-on research into coveted vintage pickup models to advancements in signal analyzation and “tuning” technology, these pickups incorporate every detail of pickup knowledge PRS has gained in recent years of R&D.
PRS DMO pickups have a “wide open” sound with vocal character, meaning they deliver clear, pleasant-sounding tones across a wide range of frequencies (bass to treble) in each pickup.
The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar. This iconic instrument was the first model that Paul Reed Smith brought to the public at PRS Guitars’ first Winter NAMM show in 1985 and has been a top seller ever since. One of our PRS favorites here at Northeast Music Center!
