All user reviews for the PRS Custom 24 (1991-2010)

So I Submitted Machine Gun, my PRS Custom 24. I want prciser that I bought in the U.S., Baltimore is to say a few kilometers of the plant is o PRS factory, instead of 2400 dollars 4300 here (it's a table with PRS Saddle Top Ten sculpt is to say the highest finish available on the MODL).
As the name implies, the Custom 24 possde ... 24 frets.
The pickups are hambuckers PRS HFS bridge, Vintage Bass neck. The HFS destroy the Gibson sound, but the typical PRS with his strange, a little tearful. The Vintage Bass has a vintage sound (yes surprisingly c), but big warm sound sweeter than HFS, excellent guitar ambience.
My Custom 24 PRS has a vibrato, the mcaniques wraps.
CONTRL 1 volume, 1 Tone CONTRL of a 5-position rotary slecteur
She does book tui gain PRS leather with a sort of velvet midnight blue satin liserais red, beautiful. In addition to PRS has offered me a Zippo and a strap with a lot of mdiators.

UTILIZATION

The handle ... low profile heel, mahogany set neck, rosewood fingerboard inlays and "birds" pearl vritable (zoizos to the beautiful). Trs trs enjoyable, but very fast Submitted my prfr with that of the Music Man Luke.
Access in acute is simple: almost no heel, deep cutaway: access a breeze.
A play is a rgal. Standing, no problem but not too clger (BChE is not good but it's not the plasterboard). I sat a little harder but not too much problem we can find an enjoyable position. (Because of a: 9)
To the right sound, it's like on my Les Paul Black Beauty, just plug it !!!!!

SOUNDS

I love the guitar room and I must say that none of my guitars prtaient it really. Thanks to micro Vintage Bass of the PRS, I am filled for the rock, the true, that of Hendrix, Santana, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, it should! (Did you notice?: = Start Hendrix, Santana = PRS, Gibson = Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits = thought: she plays everything perfectly!)
Mtal for the rock hard or Metallica, or for stuff like that I'm really not an expert, it is ideal, since three quarters of the (pseudo) mtalleux play on.
For the blues no soucy good sound perfect fat (less than my gibson though). I do not like jazz, so I know. The classic ... I tap on a DLIR Ravel gave, if so!!
Frankly it is a distortion of the goddess, prcise and fat, and for this I will say that partialemment Mesa Boogie amp is the brand that suits him best (Soldano said it will also !!!). The clean sounds are warm, it is superb, but for fans of the chattering Fender Stratocaster is not really the strength of the brand. But the people do not long rsisterons this new sound !!!!!

PS: play with a Fuzz Factory pedals you have an incredible, never seen or even imagine!
The Ibanez TS9 distortion pedals to Reissue plugs into the clean channel of a Mesa all with PRS, gives her cry. Promise!

OVERALL OPINION

One I had for 3 months had a problem table so I returned. I just got a new PRS, but exactly the same color Royal Blue ... She is absolutely beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love everything about her.
It costs exactly the same price as my Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty 1954 and possde a quality similar to rev high, worthy of the Gibson custom shop I tell you !!!!!!!
I also have a Hohner Start up in 1959 SA/SA/89 EMG (admittedly, it's less glorious but I love it) and I must say that the palette is complte!
The report price is trs good quality, although a still exorbitant and I put a ... n ass !!!!!!!!
I would do without this choice hsiter, I love it !!!!!!!! (9 for the price)

Without going into detail:

Super wood, vibrato super, super race lol

UTILIZATION

Usage is perfect to change the strings, nothing more simple,

access facilitated by the sharp and well set neck profile.

A very heavy guitar, nice neck hyper ... no problem ...

SOUNDS

On a mesa, is the top.

You can do anything with this guitar. Pop, the Neo-Metal Blues juqu'au well nag who let off steam!

We get warm sounds easy, c of the scraper raw emotion.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one week, my eyes are shining again ...
I love everything about this guitar ... really all ...
It's expensive ... but cheaper than a lot of custom. I think it's Honorable, particularly by negotiating a bit.
I would do this choice without hesitation ... can be a second for another color?

I will not blablatter hours on that information can be found on the website of PRS (www.prsguitars.com (http://www.prsguitars.com)), but still a bit D: D
These guitars are made entirely aus United States and assembled by hand.
As its name suggests, is a guitar with 24 frets like a micro HFS treble pickup and a Vintage Bass neck pickup like.
You can choose between two types of switch: a switch positions 3 and 5 in the double coil splitter single, which gives an incredible range of sounds (which is handy when you do have a scratch).
The bridge is a tremolo made in PRS, which is fine, but that has a "race" quite small. It is not possible to use the example Satriani
The knob really lets his play on the saturation and expands the sound spectrum of the beast.
There is still a fairly standard tone knob.
There are several types of heat with different thicknesses, which allows everyone to find their way

UTILIZATION

The neck is super friendly, the finish is amazing.
The guitar is actually quite heavy which is usually a good sign.
Dice the grip, you feel the quality in the fingers.
Do you get a good sound easy?? Uh ... How to say ... There's no other possibilities!
It sounds huge!!
For those who want a little more, here are two links to the microphones:
https://www.prsguitars.com/pickups/audio/HFS.mp3
https://www.prsguitars.com/pickups/audio/Vintage_Bass.mp3
Listen, it's the bomb

SOUNDS

This is an extremely versatile guitar.
Hyper nice for solos and very nice for the rhythmic ...
And versatility of the 5 Ways switch allows you to play almost any style ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's been six months that I have brought this little gem of the United States, and for the world I would not change a guitar.
I play whatever I want with, and I have a sound to rival an Angus Young D lol: D
Top: Plug in a JCM2000 TSL100, and weep ...
The only downside: the price.
I continue to pay every month, but I do not regret for anything that I drool every day ... For I know that I got home, I plug the amp in the small world and I am over the moon D: D

I will not repeat the history of PRS guitars or rpandre me in praise of these wonderful guitars: they are simply gniales.
The finish is exceptional.
The microphone is molten lead!
The bridge is very well PRS Designed and thanks to the blocking of mcaniques agreement is required.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a good autoroute.Trs Access in acute thanks a small heel.
It is not too heavy and can be very easy to play sitting down.
It possde a good balance gnral.

SOUNDS

It is a versatile guitar trs thanks to slecteur rotary 5-position, we get a range of sounds bluesy, vintage and post-amp, big sound thanks to trs HFS position bridge.
I play on an all-tube Peavey 50 212: mgique!
I connect from time to time my pedals BOSS GT-6 for other sounds but the best sound is when I got the branch direct.La power microphones, made in PRS, is impressive (style Di Marzio).

OVERALL OPINION

I possde also a PRS Santana SE that I modified with Seymour Duncan Splitables and I dj t tonn of quality manufacturing of this model Coren.
I possde the Custom 24 for 2 months, a 20 th MODEL Anniversary.Je have bought 2300 euros on new Lyon and I am dingue.Elle color is Black Cherry with the table Saddle Flamm a head in the same color and a beautiful binding in Saddle around the body.
Unlike what is said in a notice Previous, simply "go on the PRS website for a list of the many guitarists who play with and then when fte of music, I t tonn by the number of musicians playing in styles with trs Different.
The only criticism I will respect the rotary slecteur not very practical "live" but it is especially good story to tell.

PRS Custom 24 red, US-made
24 frets, vintage bass mic (severe) hfs (acute)
5 position rotary switch, 1 Tone 1 Volume
PRS vintage vibrato, mechanical locking Schaller PRS
Mahogany one pice, al

UTILIZATION

Excellent handle, a highway I tell you
Access in acute trs suitable ESG particulire not affected by the heel, which is prominent only 3 or 4 cm and a rounded Submitted trs agr able.
Excellent ergonomics, light weight for an instrument made of mahogany with a one pice table Saddle bomb related. The body sculpt the rear provides excellent contact with the body of the user.
In terms of body shape is the original Schma propros by PRS Singlecut except MODEL or santana. It suits me perfectly well but can not rev like the others ... gots and colors ....
Outstanding sound quality with breathtaking dj unplug. In the crunch is saturated or the bomb. As for crystal clear sound, a tiny BMOL. As I play mainly saturated no problem.

SOUNDS

The Custom 24 is a versatile guitar for rock, mtal, it provides a bte, the hfs is dynamite must not forget that it is a pro instrument and that many current groups are turning to this masterpiece of violin, for endorsements is available at PRS.
As for the blues / jazz, R & B that are not really my cup of tea but hey it must reach all in music, she is doing the high-rev-hand. The vintage bass brings roundness while the typical mic positions intermdiaires can explore the grounds funky without blushing.
The volume and tone knobs ragissent like clockwork, so the great versatile lectonique.

OVERALL OPINION

The CU24 I use for just over 3 months, Arussi dtach me of my old scratched stratode highly customizes which also sounds as the fire god.
I love everything about this guitar and violin finish exceptional electronic gnreuse, sounds breathtaking.
I must admit that I bought it without having to try so much to say with his eyes closed, to make me notice, I have long cost the great Carlos Santana to see Linkin'Park what it was worth in the register mtal, among others.
For those looking for the extravagance of a type vibrato Floyd go your way, not the size for CU24 amme if its vibrato and mcaniques wraps provide a view of the agreement more than adequate .
Nanmoins excs for speed "Satrianesques" or "Rondatiens", the handle is a vritable highway, the action of strings and polish the frets perfect offering an avenue that will align s ries of triplets or sextuplets.

These qualities in a single guitar forcment cotent a certain price, but once acquired this beauty no other instrument will count for you.

Edit the 21/04/201: APRS m'tre done by hand and especially to have compared with other guitars, it is clear that the sound produced by the PRS pickups is a bit feeble, positions Splitt es are trs nasal limit inaudible, and finally the rotating slecteur Relva nightmare for use in live ... all the sudden I vir The elements that liked more, the microphones and the Mount and I slecteur 2 EMG 89 and a toggle switch ... and the bin now sends a really STRID I redcouvre my guitar.

See above ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is gnial, a sound is direct and ecstasy when we seek "the" sound, Access in acute is ... more beautiful she is she is lgre gnial lol! the only small problem will be the slcteur 5 positions that could put some live but with practice you get used to and that's even more convenient to switch a push / pull S1 in the fender I think ...

SOUNDS

Versatility is standard, you can play what you want but can be large mtal couillus most in the genre of "The Amenta," but you tell me that if we play this kind of music we do not turn to this kind of guitar course ... I played the Children of Bodom above and cel no problem ... the sound is top notch with a mesa correct!

OVERALL OPINION

Try it now!!

Mine is a custom 24 Black Birds with Chery. It has the config 'standard' that is with 5-way switch and vibrato.

Little reminder for the 5-way switch, PRS offers two types of selectors microphones
- The 5-position rotary switch: allows you to choose between the following configurations: double neck pickup, neck pickup in single, 2 double pickups, bridge pickup in single, double pickup.
- A selector 3 positions (Les Paul type) + a volume control with push-pull. In this case, we choose the selector from: neck pickup, the two pickups, bridge pickup. The push-pull on the volume knob can then choose from the microphones in single or double coil.
3x2 = 6! And yes, this was a config option as well: the two microphones in singles. In addition, this configuration is more intuitive. Known or easy it is, which is not the case with the 5-way switch, but it's a matter of habit.

Of course made in the US (you can find on the site of the black box, video all the various stages of manufacture of the device! It's great to see!)

The violin is wonderful. The table of mine in flamed maple is beautiful, but frankly I have never seen a failure! Yet I look at these guitars for years ... The color of mine is 'Black Cherry' is a very dark red. The neck and head are also varnished in the same color.

Even the box is beautiful. Simple and beautiful, high quality. A real jewel to jewel!

UTILIZATION

The handle is very pleasant. This is the first guitar I painted with a handle. At first it is a little confusing, but you get done.
Access to acute is perfect, the balancing of the guitar also. It is not too heavy, which is appreciable.
As for sound, just plug it to get a good sound

The 5-way switch is not very intuitive. Not easy to know where we are when we take the guitar. Likewise for those who change their sound in the middle of songs, not easy to find! But I think it's a matter of habit. On the other hand, with a Les Paul, it often changes at the beginning of grazing the microphone selector ... it's still a matter of habit!

SOUNDS

This is really the highlight of this guitar! Sounds that are out are really fabulous. The pickups are really powerful and precise all at once. Being able to switch to single coil gives crystal clear sound beautiful ...

I play a little bit of everything in the style of music, pop, some rock, blues ...
I'm not a great guitarist and yet I go out sounds extras!

The only problem is then to play again with his other guitars

OVERALL OPINION

I dream about this guitar for years! I take the plunge a few months ago at Christmas. I can not be objective! When we realized a lifelong dream, how to be disappointed!
I will not go into the debate: PRS / Les Paul, everyone to choose according to their tastes. For my part, I love everything about this guitar: design, finish, sound, ... everything is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a guitar that polivalente also have a soul, I found it. To those who say that this guitar has no sound to it, they try, they look at the Loan and they can judge on piece.

I love the sound of microphones simple, they are precise, critallins, slamming ... The sounds are powerful double ...

Congratulations to PRS to offer us these quality instruments. For lovers of this brand, I recommend a book that is found on the website of PRS which traces the history of the brand with lots of pictures and history of all models. A must!

Objective approach:

Prs guitar shape
Industrially manufactured in the U.S.
Hand over
Mahogany body
Table in Saddle sculptbr /> Manche 24 cases with rosewood fingerboard
2 pickups prs: hfs in vintage bridge bass in the Channel
A 5-position rotary slecteur
1 potentiomtre of tonalitbr /> 1 potentiomtre volume
Vibrato tremolo springs

subjective approach:

The PRS does not hit me specially in the eye. The wood of the table and body are standard in appearance. CONTRL missing to help the artist sculpt his sound. However, the phase splits and dual mode Submitted and trs are effective. I note the good finish work at all levels. The masking plates and springs of the tremolo are electronic plastic ugly. Too bad!

[7] A good guitar is a guitar dmarque standard design Features and finish. Too bad the wood is not just the most beautiful (take care, they are fine dj), for CHF 5'290 .00 for when it would be nice-even.

Complment of 07/28/08: APRS test various prs custom 22 and 24 is the only PRS that were as ugly wooden tables.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is, to my great surprise, made of a high density wood. I just grabbed a Gibson Les Paul Custom APRS and the difference in weight is not striking. The PRS Seems light but it is not. A kind of ballet of combat. Mfiance so.

Comfort is, however, the appointment and the handle, a trs good handle also fits perfectly between your fingers. It gives an impression of solidity reassuring and allows multiple game styles and a high speed. The slip coating well on this instrument, but as for the Les Paul, I have not had a chance to sweat on this dernire.

Note that Access in acute might be better if PRS had not built a heel slightly XL, even if it remains excellent.

As nuncio above, one of potentiomtre Tone and volume is a bit short. But it's OK thanks to five positions slecteur trs effective.

[8] Let us not be deceived, the prs is accommodating for intensive use. A good tool.

SOUNDS

Operate this guitar is empty is a surprise. I get sounds from a power and a remarkable rgularit. The spectrum is TRS balanced and the grain and depth are commendable.

In dlivre clean guitar sounds a whole lot of warm and round with a nice slam on the attack and air resell (read by an Arian clean and warm). They are certainly a little less beautiful than the prs dragonII can offer, but it is still in the magnificence.

In crunch as saturated guitar excels. The sound can take a little dnominations all of what needs to be a crunch and saturated to give us the best of his woodwork. Palme d'Or in the saturation or sound, modern, Dfine is a power and an attack phnomnale.

[10] we will not twist the ass ch ... right, this guitar is to block the ball in the area. If you make of modern music, you may love this guitar sound really possde hell.

OVERALL OPINION

In a Manner of speaking,if this guitar was not so expensive, it would be absolutely perfect. Indeed, charging a customer for the price of the guitar SERIES. It's a bit all of us take for hay ties.

It must also fight against many competitors in its srieuses sgment, dean hardtail since the United States, through the Rievax Xavier Petit Soldier Warrior and other higher quality still. Note also the appartition rcemment of Fame with Forums couraging in custom shop and are almost consistent with copies prs. But it is worth sre, even if the hill should not increase over time (dteint problem of varnish on some models).

The wood is not from a prestigious but did not notice the ear. If you can, privilgiez of pre-1989 MODELS. C'tait millsines the good of prs trs.

[8] a must

GUITAR of exquisite!
United States, Maryland, 5-position humbucker (or selector 3 p), Vol, Tone, Tremolo House Wide Fat neck, Wide Thin

UTILIZATION

A mache Exceptionally, the TGV!
aceae easy to acute, the guitar is very well balancbr /> the sound is: it covers the range of Gibson and Fender but with a good character it

SOUNDS

Mesa Boogie, Marshall or good amp (this price is not connected to the HIFI eh!)

OVERALL OPINION

In every sense of the words! Lutherie Pafaite accuracy of any test, smooth finish is not really a dream guitar! ond the maple (top ten, Artist Package) is just wonderful!
Love with guitars, guitarists this is the absolute tool!
The CU24 is very East Rock qouique palette of sound is impressive and amazing sutain
If you have any other FENDER GIBSON look closely the finish of your guitar, there will be a veneer done wrong, an approximate correctness! CUSTOM SHOP only the major brands can compete with the PRS.
Brothers struggling guitarists do more on your stove pan, let you go on a real guitar Electrqiue ...

Ngatif point: there is one, the price ... but be the sum of the guitars you buy and you will see ....
