PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24: Four Decades of Excellence
To celebrate 40 years of innovation, PRS introduces the Custom 24 Satin Limited Edition—a rare masterpiece limited to just 500 instruments worldwide. This anniversary model pairs the legendary Custom 24 platform with exclusive new appointments, most notably a stunning flamed mango top. Mango wood offers a unique visual texture, often described as a softer, "quilted" flame, while delivering tonal properties similar to traditional maple but with a distinct, warm character. The thin satin nitrocellulose finish in Fire Smokeburst enhances the wood's natural resonance and provides a smooth, fast feel.
DMO Pickups and Professional Hardware
This limited run features the specially developed DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) pickups. These humbuckers are voiced to provide a vocal quality and an expansive soundstage, perfectly complementing the mahogany body and ebony fretboard. With the Pattern Thin neck profile and the classic 25" scale length, the playability is quintessentially PRS—precise, comfortable, and fast across all 24 frets. Aesthetic touches like the "Old School" bird inlays and the pre-factory small eagle logo on the headstock celebrate the heritage of Paul Reed Smith's vision.
