Warm and Bright Mahogany/Maple Body

The SE Custom 24 boasts a classic tonewood pairing -- mahogany keeps things dark, while maple brings in a little high end and snap to the mix. You'll feel the weight of the mahogany back once you shoulder your SE Custom 24 for the first time, and you'll hear it as well. read more Maple will also pick up on the aggressiveness of your playing better than other woods will.

Super Slick Mahogany Neck

Attractive PRS birds inlays mark your frets and add a nice touch of elegance to this workhorse of a guitar.

Floyd Rose Tailpiece for Wailing Leads

Whether you're aiming for dive-bombed lows or just a slight tremolo effect, a Floyd Rose trem will always deliver on demand.

This is truly a beautiful guitar. I've always like the look of PRS and I finally found one I can afford and it's the best guitar I own.
Sound
The sound is amazing. Without changing anything else in my rig this guitar easily improved my tone. The coil tapping is a nice feature even though I never use it unless I'm practicing.
Features
Well made, a Floyd is a Floyd and the coil tapping is nice too. There is a little sound drop off but that's to be expected I suppose.
Quality
Very well made. I'm considering replacing my backup guitar with another one the these.
Value
I have a guitar that is $600 more than this one and I don't use it anymore. This thing rocks
Manufacturer Support
Haven't dealt with PRS but zZounds had awesome support.
The Wow Factor
I've heard some people say PRS is tacky or the "Ed Hardy" of guitars. Those people are morons and can't appreciate a beautiful guitar
