Overview
The Custom 24 is the original PRS -- the guitar Paul Reed Smith took to his first tradeshow in 1985. A perennial favorite with musicians, this model features a Pattern Thin mahogany neck and 57/08 pickups wired for PRS' redesigned 5-way blade switch, which offers a dual humbucker option for the first time (see switching positions below).

Pickup Switching Positions:
- Position One: Bridge humbucker
- Position Two: Bridge humbucker with neck singlecoil, in parallel
- Position Three: Bridge and neck humbuckers
- Position Four: Neck singlecoil with bridge singlecoil, in parallel
