The obvious talking point is the Tiger Eye 10-Top. There is loads of movement in the flame — amber through deep smoky red at the edges — set over a black limba back, with a figured maple neck stained to match. Dark ziricote board and headstock veneer, Old School bird inlays and nickel hardware keep the appointments distinctive without crowding the finish.
Pattern Thin on a 25" scale with 24 frets is the classic Custom 24 feel: fast, comfortable and familiar under the hand. Construction is solidbody with a violin carve top, and the black limba back is a meaningful step away from a standard mahogany Custom 24.
PRS DMO humbuckers with volume, tone and a 5-way blade cover a wide range of humbucking and split textures. A major part of the appeal is the factory stoptail with brass inserts. Against a tremolo Custom 24, the stoptail gives a more direct, immediate response, stronger sustain and a tighter low end, with more predictable tuning for hard picking, double-stops and wide bends — the mechanical anchor many players prefer when they want the 24-fret Custom layout without a vibrato.
This Limited Edition Wood Library run is 500 guitars worldwide, with 100 in Tiger Eye. Direct US import, never played, with case, hang tag and manuals present — a particularly strong, fully documented example of a rare stoptail Custom 24.
