Features

The Custom 24 is the model that helped define PRS from the beginning, combining a double-cut carved maple top with a mahogany body and set mahogany neck. The Black Cherry finish gives this used example the rich, deep look associated with classic PRS figured-maple instruments.

A 24-fret rosewood fretboard and 25 inch scale length give the guitar the familiar PRS balance of reach, sustain and articulation. The set-neck construction helps produce a smooth, connected response, while the double-cutaway body provides excellent access to the upper frets for lead playing.

The 1996-era Custom 24 pickup setup is known for the HFS Treble pickup in the bridge position and Vintage Bass pickup in the neck position. This combination delivers strong output, clarity and sustain, with enough versatility for rock, fusion, blues, pop, studio work and expressive lead tones.

The 5-way rotary switching system is a signature feature of this period of PRS Custom 24 production. It gives access to multiple humbucker and split-coil-style combinations from a simple master volume and master tone layout, making the guitar far more flexible than a typical dual-humbucker setup.

A PRS tremolo bridge and locking tuners were key hardware features of the 1996 Custom 24 platform, giving players smooth vibrato response and solid tuning stability. The included hard case adds protection for storage, transport and long-term care.
