The mid-2000s Wide Thin Custom 24s are some of the most sought-after core PRS guitars — this era was before the pickup spec changed over, and the HFS/Vintage Bass set delivers that unmistakable PRS clarity and punch.Vintage Yellow is one of PRS’ most iconic finishes — it’s pure early-2000s PRS aesthetic: golden, clean, and bold, with the flame maple top shining beautifully through the transparent hue.
Tonally, the HFS bridge has plenty of drive and attack, perfect for modern rock leads, while the Vintage Bass neck balances things out with warmth, bloom, and that characteristic PRS harmonic richness. With the 5-way rotary, you get both humbucker power and sweet split-coil glassiness at your fingertips.
The Wide Thin neck feels fast, sleek, and responsive — and combined with PRS’ famously clean fretwork, it makes this guitar a joy to play. This era of Custom 24s is known for their resonance, stability, and top-tier build quality.
