PRS S2 Custom 24-08 Sprayer's Choice Electric Guitar - Midnight Red Sparkle | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS S2 Custom 24-08 Sprayer's Choice in Midnight Red Sparkle represents a handpicked exceptional finish personally selected by PRS's master painter for its stunning visual depth. This versatile electric guitar combines classic PRS specifications—flame maple top over mahogany body with 24-fret access—with innovative dual EQ mini-toggle switches that expand tonal flexibility beyond traditional pickup selectors. Maryland-made TCI pickups deliver full single-coil tones reminiscent of vintage soapbars, while the mesmerizing Midnight Red Sparkle finish shifts from deep black at a distance to brilliant red sparkle up close, creating dramatic visual impact on stage and in the studio.
Product Overview
The S2 Custom 24-08 builds its foundation from a solid mahogany body capped with a flame maple top, finished in the eye-catching Midnight Red Sparkle Sprayer's Choice selection. This unique finish creates a transformative visual experience—appearing predominantly black with subtle sparkle from a distance, then revealing brilliant red sparkle and depth when viewed up close. The high-gloss nitrocellulose finish showcases the flame maple figuring while providing the resonance and tonal characteristics that make nitro finishes favored by discerning players. Asymmetric beveling on the body edges enhances playing comfort during extended sessions. At 7.45 pounds, this guitar delivers substantial resonance with comfortable playing weight.
The scarfed set-neck construction utilizes mahogany with the acclaimed Pattern Thin carve, measuring 53/64" deep at the first fret and 57/64" at the twelfth fret. This profile provides lightning-fast playability across the 24-fret rosewood fingerboard while maintaining enough substance for comfortable chord work and vibrato. The 10-inch radius and 1 11/16" nut width accommodate both intricate lead playing and rhythm work, while the neck expands to 2 1/4" at the body joint for unrestricted upper register access. Classic Birds inlays mark fret positions, maintaining iconic PRS visual identity enhanced by the dramatic sparkle finish.
The innovative electronics platform features dual Maryland-made PRS TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups that deliver full, articulate single-coil tones with the clarity and musical character of vintage soapbar pickups. What sets the 24-08 apart is its unique switching system: a traditional 3-way toggle pickup selector paired with two mini-toggle EQ switches. These dual EQ switches function as tuned high-pass filters—when engaged in the up position, they remove shelved low-end frequencies while allowing highs through for enhanced clarity and sparkle. This provides eight distinct tonal variations, from thick full-range sounds to bright, cutting tones perfect for cutting through a mix. The PRS Gen III patented tremolo ensures reliable pitch modulation, while Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons and unplated brass shafts deliver rock-solid tuning stability with premium tonal character.
