PRS Custom 24-08 Electric Guitar - Cobalt Smokeburst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS Custom 24-08 elevates the legendary Custom 24 platform with expanded tonal versatility and modern refinements while preserving the classic features that made it iconic. This stunning solidbody electric guitar combines a figured maple top over a mahogany body with dual TCI humbucking pickups and innovative mini-toggle coil-tap switches that unlock eight distinct tonal voices. Ideal for professional and advanced players who demand exceptional craftsmanship, tonal flexibility, and eye-catching aesthetics in a single instrument.
Product Overview
The Custom 24-08's foundation begins with a solid mahogany body topped with a breathtaking figured maple cap finished in Cobalt Smokeburst, a striking colorway that highlights the natural flame patterns beneath a glossy nitrocellulose lacquer. Natural body binding frames the curves elegantly, while the gloss finish catches light from every angle. At 7.03 pounds, this guitar delivers substantial resonance without excessive weight, making it comfortable for extended playing sessions.
The set-neck construction features a mahogany Pattern Thin neck profile that offers quick playability without sacrificing stability or sustain. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard sports a 10-inch radius and iconic PRS Birds inlays, providing smooth navigation across the 25-inch scale length. The neck joint allows unrestricted access to the upper frets, essential for lead work and expressive playing. A 1.687-inch nut width accommodates comfortable chord voicings while maintaining sufficient string spacing for precise picking.
Electronically, the Custom 24-08 features dual PRS TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) humbucking pickups that deliver full-range tone with exceptional note articulation and dynamic response. The innovative electronics package includes a 3-way pickup selector combined with two mini-toggle coil-tap switches, providing eight different pickup configurations ranging from fat, snarling humbucker tones to clear, chimey single-coil voices. The PRS Gen III patented tremolo system ensures rock-solid tuning stability, while Phase III locking tuners with distinctive wing buttons enable quick, precise string changes. Hybrid hardware in a gleaming finish completes this professional-grade instrument.

Key Features
TCI Humbucking Pickups with 8-Voice Switching
PRS's TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups deliver full-frequency response with outstanding clarity and articulation. Two mini-toggle coil-tap switches work alongside the 3-way selector to provide eight distinct tonal voices, from thick humbucker tones to bright single-coil sounds, offering unprecedented versatility from a two-pickup configuration.
Figured Maple Top over Mahogany Body
The stunning figured maple cap showcases dramatic flame patterns enhanced by the Cobalt Smokeburst finish, while the solid mahogany body beneath provides rich midrange, excellent sustain, and the warm fundamental tone PRS guitars are renowned for. Natural body binding accentuates the body contours elegantly.
Pattern Thin Neck Profile
The set-neck mahogany construction features PRS's Pattern Thin profile, delivering fast playability and comfortable hand positioning across all 24 frets. The rosewood fingerboard with 10-inch radius and traditional Birds inlays provides smooth fretting and classic PRS aesthetics, while the 25-inch scale length balances string tension perfectly for bending and rhythm work.
Gen III Tremolo System
The PRS Gen III patented tremolo bridges the gap between vintage feel and modern stability, allowing expressive pitch modulation while returning to precise tuning. Combined with Phase III locking tuners featuring wing buttons, the Custom 24-08 maintains rock-solid intonation even with aggressive tremolo use.
Premium Appointments and Finish
Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish provides both stunning visual depth and classic tone resonance. Hybrid hardware offers the perfect blend of traditional aesthetics and modern durability, while nickel frets and PRS's proprietary nut material ensure optimal playability and tone transfer from string to wood.
