PRS Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Electric Guitar – Faded Whale Blue/Natural Back

A New Twist on a Classic – The PRS Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Electric Guitar in Faded Whale Blue/Natural Back

The 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Limited Edition celebrates four
decades of PRS Guitars by bringing some new and noteworthy features to
the model that started it all. Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, this special
edition uniquely features a mango top, ebony fretboard, satin nitro finish,
and smoked black hardware for a new twist on a classic.

Most notably, this limited edition exchanges the Custom 24’s classic maple
for a striking figured mango top. Mango wood retains much of the sound
characteristics as maple while bringing an almost “quilted” look to these
guitars. The satin nitro finish adds to the guitar’s unique aesthetic appeal by
bringing a more natural vibe to the instrument – along with great feel and
resonant tone. The ebony fretboard and headstock veneer feature PRS “Old
School” birds with outlines and a PRS “Pre-Factory” eagle on the headstock,
which both pay homage to early PRS guitars.

While the guitar may look different, it boasts many of the Custom 24’s
beloved features, including a mahogany back and neck, 25” scale length, 24
frets, 10” fretboard radius, and Pattern Thin shape. Other classic Custom
24 appointments include the PRS Gen III patented tremolo, PRS Phase III
locking tuners with wing buttons, and PRS Signature 10-46 strings. The 40th
Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Limited Edition is equipped with PRS’s DMO
Treble and Bass pickups. DMO pickups (DMO standing for Dynamic, Musical,
Open) were spec’d by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS New Products Engineering team to have a wide-open sound with vocal character. Paired with a 5-way blade switch, these pickups give players plenty of tonal range in their
dual octave package.

This commemorative run continues PRS’s year-long 40th Anniversary celebration. Only 500 of this 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Limited Edition will be available. Hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate included.
