Elite tonewoods





All of PRS’s Core guitars are fashioned out of world-beating tonewoods. Your new Custom 24 is no exception. It all starts with a resonant mahogany body topped by a figured maple for a classic tone with a nice brightness and snap. Next, the body is mated with a set mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard for uncompromising sustain and vibration transfer. Enjoy the superb good looks and excellent tone of the Custom 24’s elite tonewoods.





Pattern Thin neck profile





This Custom 24 has a set-in mahogany neck carved into PRS’s fan-favorite Pattern Thin profile. The Pattern Thin profile is a contemporary version of the traditional Wide Thin neck. It has a comfortable nut width that perfectly fits any palm when playing in the first few frets. Play your way up the neck, and you’ll appreciate how it widens while maintaining the same depth. In fact, the Pattern Thin’s depth only increases by about a millimeter from the first fret to the 12th ? how’s that for consistency?
