PRS Astryx Limited-Edition Dany Villarreal Signature Electric Guitar - Ocaso

What happens when a Custom 24 becomes more than a platform for speed, sustain and versatility? For Dany Villarreal, it becomes Astryx, a PRS signature model shaped around the power, precision and space-filling voice she needs as the lead guitarist and co-founder of The Warning. The PRS Astryx Limited-Edition Dany Villarreal Signature electric guitar pairs a 10-Top figured maple top, mahogany back, Pattern Thin mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with PRS DMO humbuckers and a Gen III Tremolo, giving players the Custom 24 foundation with a more personal edge. Finished in Ocaso with a Solecito 12th-fret inlay, autographed backplate and included PRS ATA Molded Case, this 200-guitar 2026 run connects stage-ready PRS performance to Dany's first signature model.

Custom 24 Foundation With Dany Villarreal Identity

At its core, the Astryx stays close to the Custom 24 platform, combining a carved figured maple 10-Top with a mahogany back, 24 frets and a 25" scale length. An ebony fingerboard distinguishes this signature model from that foundation, while its visual details tell a more personal story. The Astryx name stems from the root word for “star,” reflecting a theme of guidance and connection. That celestial concept continues with the Solecito—or “little sun”—inlay at the 12th fret, a detail that also honors Dany's Mexican heritage. The Ocaso finish completes the theme with a sunset-inspired fade of purple, pink, orange and yellow.

Pattern Thin Neck With an Ebony Fingerboard

A one-piece mahogany neck with PRS's Pattern Thin profile provides the playing foundation Dany chose for her first signature model. She describes the neck as comfortable and emphasizes the importance of a guitar feeling like an extension of her body—an especially important quality for the commanding rhythm and lead work she handles in The Warning. The 25" scale, 24 PRS Standard frets and 10"-radius ebony fingerboard retain the familiar dimensions of the Custom 24 platform while giving the Astryx its distinctive fretboard material. Set-neck construction and an inlaid PRS signature headstock logo complete the Core-level neck design.

DMO Pickups Provide Dynamic, Open Rock Tones

A pair of PRS DMO humbuckers gives the Astryx the dynamic, musical and open character at the center of PRS's design for the pickup set, with a balanced tonal range and vocal quality. A volume control, tone control and 5-way blade switch keep operation straightforward while expanding the available pickup combinations. Positions 1, 3 and 5 provide full humbucking configurations, while positions 2 and 4 incorporate coil-split sounds for additional textures. That range complements Dany's role as the sole guitarist in The Warning, where she values an instrument capable of occupying substantial sonic space within the band's three-piece arrangement.

Gen III Tremolo and Phase III Locking Tuners

The PRS Patented Tremolo, Gen III provides expressive pitch control through a design developed for sonic fidelity, player ergonomics and tuning stability. PRS Phase III Locking Tuners complement the bridge with lightweight construction designed to promote efficient tone transfer and resonance, while hybrid hardware gives the Astryx a distinctive combination of hardware finishes. An autographed backplate accompanies every guitar in the 200-instrument run, adding another signature detail to the limited-edition design. A PRS ATA Molded Case is also included for protection during transport and storage.
