Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Semi-Hollow (Black Gold Burst)

The Custom 24 is the original PRS guitar - the guitar Paul Reed Smith took to his first NAMM trade show in 1985. Due to its extreme versatility and reliability, the flagship model has since become indispensable to countless musicians in the studio and on the stage. Through the years, the Custom 24 has evolved with the PRS craft and has been offered in several varying configurations. One configuration that has never been offered on a Core Custom 24 is a semi-hollow body with an f-hole...until now.
The 2014 Custom 24 Semi-Hollow has all of the versatility and reliability of the Core Custom. The addition of a chambered, semi-hollow body gives this guitar added midrange and resonance while losing none of the instruments tried-and-true character. This Custom 24 Semi-Hollow is the first of its kind. Fewer than 200 of these instruments will be made for this small batch run.

Other features include a carved, figured maple top 10 Top with mahogany back, 25 scale length, 24 fret mahogany neck with East Indian rosewood fretboard, Bird inlays, PRS Phase III locking tuners (nickel hardware), PRS Tremolo. And this one weighs in at only 6.6 lbs.

59/09 treble and 59/09 Bass pickups debuted in 2009. These are PRSs vintage-inspired pickups that were designed by Paul Reed Smith in-house to capture the iconic tones of legendary 1950s era guitars. Made with vintage-style wire and wound in-house in PRSs Electronics department, these pickups are modern classics. They are very articulate while providing rich harmonic overtones. The bridge pickup has some heat to it and the neck has warmth with a touch of brightness for balance. The 59/09 PRS Pickups deliver clarity and definition with smack in the face while maintaining a vintage vibe.
