2016 PRS Custom 24 Artist Package with a 10-Top Blue Matteo finish. This is an exquisite work of art and features outstanding build quality throughout. Every aspect of this guitar is stunning. The fingerboard is made of Gaboon Ebony, which is one of the most expensive exotic woods in the world. It also features a highly-figured maple neck. The 85/15 pickups sound superb and the 5-way switch allows for a ton of tonal versatility. The guitar weighs just 7.77 pounds. The Pattern/Thin neck thickness measures 0.823" at the 1st fret and 0.868" at the 12th fret.
This Custom 24 Artist Package is in excellent near-mint condition with only two very tiny dings in the body's edge from handling. There are no scratches anywhere. There is zero visible fretwear and only a hint of finger marks on the fingerboard. This guitar shines beautifully. Everything works perfectly with zero issues.
Includes all original accessories, including the original Artist Black-Paisley hardshell case in excellent condition with zero issues. Also includes the original signed hang tag certificate and packing list, along with the tremolo bar, adjustment tools, PRS brown leather strap and optional locking strap buttons.
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. Played by internationally touring artists, gigging musicians, and aspiring players, the Custom 24 features PRS’s patented tremolo system and PRS 85/15 treble and bass pickups with volume and tone controls and a 5-way blade switch. 85/15 pickups were personally designed by Paul Reed Smith for PRS’s 30th Anniversary. They offer remarkable clarity and extended high and low end.
The Custom 24 is the original PRS. Since its introduction, it has offered a unique tonal option for serious players and defined PRS tone and playability.
