PRS S2 Custom 24 Limited Edition Electric Guitar – Poplar Burl Charcoal Burst

PRS S2 Custom 24 Limited Edition Electric Guitar – Poplar Burl Charcoal Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls

The PRS S2 Custom 24 in Poplar Burl Charcoal Burst is a visually striking limited edition instrument that brings the Custom 24's legendary playability and PRS quality to the S2 series with a tonewood and finish combination that immediately sets it apart from any standard S2 offering — serial number 26 S2088921, weighing just 6.74 lbs., made in the USA in 2026. A poplar burl top in a deep Charcoal Burst satin finish over a mahogany body, mahogany neck in the Pattern Thin carve, East Indian rosewood fingerboard with Ivory Old School Bird inlays, PRS 85/15 TCI treble and bass humbuckers, PRS Patented Tremolo, Phase III locking tuners, and smoked black hardware with a push-pull tone and 5-way blade switching system. Premium Gigbag included. At 6.74 lbs., this is a featherlight, comfortable instrument with the visual depth of a burl top and the tonal refinement of PRS's best S2 specification.

Product Overview

The poplar burl top is the visual centerpiece of this S2 Custom 24 — and burl poplar is a tonewood that PRS deploys specifically for its dramatically organic, swirling, unpredictable visual character that is fundamentally different from the structured, parallel flame of maple or the rippling uniform pattern of quilted maple. Burl figure develops at points of unusual tree growth — stress points, wounds, or genetic anomalies that cause the wood's grain to abandon its normal directional pattern and grow in swirling, knotted, circular concentrations that produce figure of extraordinary visual complexity. No two burl tops are identical in their pattern, and the Charcoal Burst satin finish on this example interacts with the poplar burl's organic figure in a particularly beautiful way — the dark charcoal edges of the burst deepening to near-black at the body perimeter while the center opens to reveal the burl's natural lighter tones, the satin finish allowing the wood's texture to be read tactilely as well as visually.

The satin finish is itself a meaningful specification choice — PRS satin finishes allow the wood to breathe and resonate more freely than high-gloss polyester alternatives while providing a natural, organic surface quality that complements the burl top's earthy visual character. The Charcoal Burst gradient across the burl surface reads differently in different lighting — under direct light the burl's figure three-dimensional character becomes more pronounced and the burst's gradient more dramatic, while in softer light the colors deepen and the burl's swirling organic pattern dominates the visual composition.

The PRS 85/15 TCI humbuckers are PRS's most refined passive humbucker design for the S2 series — TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups that are individually voiced through a measurement and optimization process producing a more open, harmonically rich, and dynamically responsive tonal character than conventionally wound pickups. The 5-way blade switching system with push-pull tone control provides five distinct pickup configurations including single-coil positions that extend the tonal range well beyond a standard 3-way toggle humbucker switching system — coil-tapped single-coil tones accessible via the push-pull mechanism alongside the full humbucker voices in positions 1, 3, and 5.

The mahogany neck in Pattern Thin carve provides PRS's fastest, most modern neck profile feel — thin enough for effortless technical playing while retaining enough material for a comfortable, confident grip. East Indian rosewood fingerboard at PRS's standard radius provides the warm, slightly dark tonal character and smooth playing feel that rosewood is prized for, and the Ivory Old School Bird inlays add a visual warmth that complements the Charcoal Burst's color palette. Phase III locking tuners maintain tuning stability through tremolo use and enable quick string changes, and the PRS Patented Tremolo provides the smooth, reliable pitch manipulation that PRS tremolo systems are known for.
