collapse expand iconDescription

The PRS SE Custom 24 solidbody electric guitar puts the coveted sound, feel, and stunning looks of PRS's flagship Custom 24 model within reach of all players. Featuring a mahogany body and maple top with PRS's signature violin-shaped carve, the SE Custom 24 resonates with the warmth and clarity that PRS is renowned for. Powering its versatile performance are dual 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups, providing everything from beefy rock tones to jangly cleans with a simple turn of the 3-way blade switch.

Iconic PRS Design and Build

From its distinctive violin-shaped body to the iconic PRS bird inlays adorning its rosewood fretboard, the SE Custom 24 exudes the elegant, high-performance style that has made PRS a legend. Its mahogany back and maple top provide a balanced tone with piano-like bass, sparkling highs, and a focused midrange. The 25" scale length maple neck features PRS's Wide Thin profile for fast, comfortable playing, while a PRS-designed tremolo anchors the strings with exceptional tuning stability and sustain.

Dual 85/15 "S" Pickups for Versatile Performance

The SE Custom 24's 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups deliver everything from meaty rock crunch to shimmering cleans with the simple flip of a switch. In the bridge position, the 85/15 "S" pickup provides tight, high-output tone ideal for solos and heavier genres. The neck pickup warms up the tone with a fuller, more resonant voice perfect for jazz, blues, and classic rock. With a push-pull tone control to activate single-coil tones, the tonal possibilities are vast.

Roadworthy and Stage-Ready

While the SE Custom 24 carries the prestigious PRS name and design, it's built to be a workhorse. A lightweight mahogany body with comfortable contours is ideal for gigs and practice sessions alike. With high-quality components, construction and electronics, the SE Custom 24 is ready to be a trusted sidekick throughout a lifetime of playing.

An Heirloom-Quality Instrument at an Accessible Price

For over 35 years, PRS has handcrafted high-performance electric guitars with impeccable tone, playability and eye-catching beauty. With the SE Custom 24, PRS has distilled everything that makes their instruments so coveted into an affordable package.

    If you're shopping in the < $1000 price range this is it. The build and feel of this guitar for the price point is perfect. The neck is smooth, the top looks amazing, and the sound is great. I played Fender, epiphone, Schecter guitars all at the same price point and the feel of the PRS was simply better (Schecter was a close second for me). Replaced the knobs with the new PRS lampshade knobs and that completed the look for me. Highly recommend. #sweepstakes

    This is hands down the most phenomenal guitar I've ever owned. Set up out the box was perfect. And the feel and tone is incredible. I finally found the one guitar I can't live without. It covers a wide variety of tones which is exactly what I need! I'm a PRS player for life now!

  • Really like this one.

    I can't say it's perfect, but it is really great. Exactly what I wanted for the price point. I did go into the store and tried about 5 ones til I found the one I knew I wanted. Some I tried had minor fret snag or buzz that could have been remedied. The one I chose has perfect fret work. I took it to a luthier for a once over and he couldn't charge me. He had nothing to do. Proper string change and a little nut sauce and it stays in tune very well with all but the craziest dive bombs. The tops on the SE line vary, mine is very nice. I did put some foam under the trem springs, they rattle a little bit. As for now I like the sound of the pickups. I did hit the switcher with a little deoxit. Coil split sounds are definitely usable. I have 2 other guitars for comparison. '05 US Fender Strat and '99 Samick Artist series with Seymour Duncan's. This SE holds its own with either of those in build quality and sound. Hasn't been on a gig yet but it's been put through its paces at home and in the studio. Wouldn't hesitate to take to a gig. Would definitely recommend.

    I've bought lots of guitars and every one has had little issues that made it less than perfect. One played like a hot knife through butter but the Jackson pickups were weak on the top string (Ugh!). An American Strat is a nice nice guitar but it just didn't play as easily as others. Etc., etc. But this PRS SE Custom 24 was on sale with 24 months same as cash and does play like a hot knife through butter, it sounds awesome and it looks soooo GOOD! I have only good things to say about this guitar!

    This guitar is very versatile, excellent balance between warm, mid and bright tones, low action and very low acceptable buzz. Excellent in every sense
