With the Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Gold Top, the Marylander guitar maker continues the tradition of the model that has been firmly established since the NAMM Show in 1985. Equipped with a solid maple top, PRS 85/15 humbuckers and the typical PRS tremolo, this electric guitar sets both optical and tonal highlights and convinces with flawless workmanship.
For the construction of the PRS Custom 24 Gold Top the guitar makers around Paul Reed Smith only use selected woods that lead to a perfect sound experience. Carefully selected mahogany is used for the body, while the solid maple top is bordered by the natural binding typical of PRS, in which the edges of the top are not lacquered. The glued mahogany neck with its well-shaped "Pattern Thin" profile offers the perfect balance between rich grip and smooth playability. In addition, traditional bird inlays on the rosewood fingerboard provide the best orientation between the 24 frets.
The PRS Custom 24 uses two PRS 85/15 humbuckers, which were personally developed by Paul Reed Smith on the occasion of the company's 30th anniversary. These pickups convince with their clear sound, whose extended bass and treble spectrum offers the perfect basis for classical and modern sounds, from warm sparkling clean to singing overdrive to pressing riffs. The 5-way switch can also be used to call up different circuit combinations for different sound nuances:
The equipment of the Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Gold Top is completed by high-quality hardware from our own company. On the body side, the strings are supported by the proven PRS tremolo, which convinces with smooth handling and high functionality and offers a pleasant support thanks to rounded edges of the hand. At the headstock the strings run with straight tension from the saddle to the PRS Phase III locking mechanisms. These guarantee a high tuning stability even with frequent use of vibrato and make string changes much easier. The PRS Custom 24 is also delivered in a noble PRS case, which offers the electric guitar the best possible protection during transport.
