This is a particularly classy Custom 24, with the Charcoal Blue Burst finish giving the figured maple top a darker, more modern look than the brighter PRS colours. The ebony fingerboard works perfectly with the finish, adding even more contrast and giving the guitar a very clean, high-end appearance.
The Pattern Thin neck carve keeps the playing feel fast and familiar, while the 25" scale and 24-fret layout deliver the balance and versatility that have made the Custom 24 such a long-standing PRS staple. The ebony board should also add a little extra snap and immediacy compared with a traditional rosewood example.
The 85/15 pickup set is a great match for the platform, offering strong clarity, wide frequency response and excellent note separation. Combined with the 5-way blade, the guitar covers a broad range of full humbucker and split-style tones without feeling overly complicated.
A very strong Custom 24 with a desirable ebony board, versatile electronics and one of the more sophisticated darker PRS finishes.
