The Custom 24 is one of PRS’s best all-rounders, and this is a really attractive example. The Faded Whale Blue finish always works well on a PRS, and with a quilt top underneath it gives the guitar a lot of visual depth even if it has mellowed a bit over time. In some ways that slight fading actually suits it, as it gives the guitar a slightly softer, more mature look than a brighter fresh finish. The ebony board and mother of pearl shadowed abalone inlays are a lovely touch too, because they lift it above a more standard spec and give it a more premium overall feel. The Pattern Thin neck and 58/15TM pickup set keeps it firmly in that familiar modern PRS lane, so you still get all the versatility, balance and easy playability people expect from a good Custom 24. A very classy USA PRS and a strong-looking example.
Condition Report
Excellent condition. The quilt maple top has faded somewhat over time, but overall the guitar presents very cleanly with only light signs of use.
