PRS Custom 24-08 Electric Guitar - Charcoal Wraparound Smokeburst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS Custom 24-08 electric guitar combines premium flame maple aesthetics with innovative electronics in a versatile instrument that excels across multiple genres. This professional-grade guitar features a stunning Charcoal Wraparound Smokeburst finish over a select flame maple top, delivering both visual appeal and exceptional tonal complexity. Designed for discerning guitarists, this instrument offers the legendary PRS build quality and the unique tonal flexibility of the 24-08 pickup configuration.
Product Overview
The Custom 24-08 showcases a meticulously crafted body featuring a select flame maple top paired with a mahogany back, creating a balanced tonal foundation that emphasizes warm midrange frequencies with articulate treble response. The Charcoal Wraparound Smokeburst finish highlights the natural flame maple grain patterns while providing a distinctive, modern aesthetic that stands out on any stage. The combination of premium tonewoods ensures excellent resonance and sustain across all playing styles.
The mahogany neck features PRS's Pattern Thin carve, offering a comfortable profile that accommodates both rhythm playing and lead work with equal ease. The East Indian rosewood fretboard provides smooth playability and contributes to the guitar's warm, musical voice, while the signature PRS bird inlays add an elegant visual touch. The 24-fret design extends the tonal range, giving players access to two full octaves for expressive lead playing.
At the heart of this guitar's versatility lies the TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickup system, which delivers authentic single-coil and humbucker tones through the innovative 24-08 switching configuration. The Gen-3 tremolo system provides stable tuning and smooth vibrato performance, while the nickel hardware complements the guitar's sophisticated aesthetic. This combination of premium components makes the Custom 24-08 equally capable in the studio and on stage.
