This Paul Reed Smith PRS Custom 24-08 10 Top in Purple Mist is a modern evolution of the classic Custom 24, an iconic model that has been central to PRS's lineup since 1985. It retains key features such as a maple top, mahogany back and neck, 24 frets, and a 25-inch scale length. The guitar is equipped with the PRS Gen III patented tremolo system and Phase III tuners with wing buttons, providing reliable tuning stability and smooth vibrato action. With a weight of approximately 7 pounds 14 ounces, this guitar balances tone and playability.
The Custom 24-08 introduces enhanced tonal versatility with its TCI pickups and dual EQ mini-toggle switches. These pickups deliver rich, full-bodied sounds reminiscent of single-coil and soapbar tones. The EQ switches serve as tuned high-pass filters, engaged by the up position, which cut low-end frequencies to emphasize clarity and musical highs. Originally developed for the Private Stock John McLaughlin model, these switches add a new dimension to the guitar's sound, offering players increased options for shaping their tone. This makes the Custom 24-08 well-suited for a variety of musical styles and settings.
