collapse expand iconDescription

The Core œFloyd Custom 24 is equipped with the time-tested Floyd Rose œOriginal tremolo system and PRS' \m/ (metal) pickups (uncovered). The Floyd Rose œOriginal tremolo and locking nut tuning system is a double-locking design precision-made from high-quality steel, allows players to lock the guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge which keeps the guitar in tune even during the heaviest dive-bombing sessions.

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.

10 Top
A very small percent of the maple trees cut in North America are actually figured. To make "10-Top" status, a PRS top must have clearly defined figure across its entire top with no "dead" spots. A guitar designated as a 10-Top will usually have a small "10" written on the back of the headstock in the upper right corner. Some of our earlier guitars have the "10" stamped into the finish in the same position.
