PRS Custom 24 Quilt Artist Top "Sprayer's Choice" Electric Guitar - Custom Aqua-Gold Wash

PRS Custom 24 Quilted Artist Top Sprayer's Choice Electric Guitar – Custom Aqua-Gold Wash | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The PRS Custom 24 Quilted Artist Top Sprayer's Choice in Custom Aqua-Gold Wash is one of the most visually extraordinary guitars we have ever had at No Limit Guitar Co — a USA-made Custom 24 built in 2026, serial number 26 0429711, weighing 7.42 lbs., carrying both an Artist Grade quilted maple top designation and a Sprayer's Choice finish that places this instrument in a category entirely its own. The Custom Aqua-Gold Wash is a non-catalog, one-of-a-kind finish applied by a PRS master painter — a translucent, watercolor-like wash of teal, aquamarine, and warm gold that flows across the quilted maple top's extraordinary three-dimensional figure in shifting, organic patterns that change character completely in different lighting conditions. Ebony fingerboard and headstock veneer with Korean Awabi Old School Bird inlays, DMO treble and bass humbuckers with 5-way blade switch, Gen III Patented Tremolo, smoked black hardware throughout, Pattern Thin mahogany neck, mahogany back finished in gloss black, and a gloss black neck back that creates a dramatic visual contrast with the aqua-gold washed front. D1 Molded Case included.

Product Overview

The photographs of this guitar reveal something genuinely rare — a combination of top quality and finish artistry that very few production guitars at any price point can match. The quilted maple Artist Top is the foundation, and its quality is immediately apparent. Artist Grade quilted maple is the highest top grade in PRS's Core production lineup — above 10-Top, and a grade typically reserved for Private Stock instruments. The quilt figure on this specific top is exceptional — the three-dimensional, billowing, cloud-like pattern of quilted maple at its finest, the figure's depth creating a surface that appears to have physical dimension and relief rather than simply visual pattern. Looking at the close-up body photograph, the quilt bubbles and rolls across the full width of the body from upper horn to lower bout in a continuous, dramatic, three-dimensional composition that commands attention and rewards close inspection.

Over this extraordinary top, the PRS master painter applied the Custom Aqua-Gold Wash — a finish technique that is completely unlike any standard PRS catalog color and reflects the kind of creative experimentation that only the Sprayer's Choice designation enables. The finish is translucent and wash-like rather than a conventional burst or solid color — the aquamarine and teal tones applied in an organic, non-uniform way that allows the quilt figure's natural color and depth to interact with the color rather than being obscured by it. Warm gold and amber undertones appear throughout — particularly in the areas where the quilt figure's peaks catch and redirect light — creating a color shift between the aqua-teal tones of the deeper areas and the warm gold of the highlights. The effect reads differently in every lighting condition: under direct light the aqua tones saturate and the gold highlights ignite, under softer natural light the colors meld into a quieter, more complex blue-green-gold palette that reveals new detail with every viewing angle.

The back of the guitar — visible in the back photograph — presents a complete contrast to the washed, colorful front. The mahogany body back is finished in a deep, gloss black that is clean, uniform, and utterly dark, and the mahogany neck back carries the same gloss black from headstock to heel. The combination of aqua-gold washed quilt front and gloss black back creates a guitar that presents completely differently from the front and back — two visual personalities unified in a single instrument. The back headstock photograph reveals the serial number 26 0429711 clearly, and the smoked black Phase III locking tuners with gold gear mechanism details visible against the black headstock back.

The ebony fingerboard and headstock veneer is the material specification that elevates the playing and tonal experience beyond what rosewood provides — ebony's greater density and hardness contributing to crisper note definition, cleaner articulation, and a faster, more glassy playing surface. The Korean Awabi Old School Bird inlays catch light with the prismatic quality of genuine abalone — shifting between blue, green, and purple as the viewing angle changes — and their visual character against the dark ebony fingerboard is one of the most beautiful fingerboard presentations available on any production PRS. The Pattern Thin neck profile provides the fastest, most modern playing feel in the PRS lineup — effortless across the full 24-fret range of the 25" scale.

The DMO humbuckers — labeled DMO B (bridge) and DMO T (treble/neck) as visible in the close-up photograph — are PRS's Dynamic, Musical, Open humbucker design, voiced for the warm, clear, harmonically complex tonal character that covers the full range from clean to overdriven with the same musical quality throughout. The 5-way blade switching provides a complete tonal range across all pickup combination positions.

What Is a Sprayer's Choice?

A Sprayer's Choice is one of the most exclusive designations in PRS guitar production. At PRS's Stevensville, Maryland factory, the master painters occasionally apply a completely non-catalog finish — a creative moment of experimentation with custom colors, wash techniques, and finish approaches unavailable in the standard production lineup. That guitar is designated a Sprayer's Choice — a finish that was never in any PRS catalog, cannot be ordered, and will never be replicated exactly. This Custom Aqua-Gold Wash over an Artist Grade quilted maple top will never appear on any other Custom 24 anywhere.
