The "Official" PRS Custom 24 love thread!!

[Phil M]

This is my 2015 Custom 24 in Orange Tiger. I’ve had it over 4 years - it’s the first PRS that has stuck and it has led to two others (McCarty and SC250).

 

[Tony M.]

My first PRS in ‘91 was a CU24 (then called a ‘Custom’).

It was great and got me more than hooked on PRS. My current CU24 is one of the 30th PS run, and I have to say that it’s a phenomenal guitar in every way, and might be my best ‘rock’ guitar.

OK, now I know I've lost it.
I see Rodan sitting between the pickups
and Mothra right behind the bridge.

I was a hard tail 22 fret guy the majority of my time playing...oh how things have changed now.

 

[gush]

I have two cu24s.

My first was a 2011 cu24 with 5909s. It has some serious tone.

My 2nd was the 89cu24 in my avatar. It is an incredible sounding guitar.

lets see some cu 24 mods or relicing or paint jobs....

Let's see some obsidian.

Here's a couple of my Custom 24's: a 2011 Custom 24 in Fire Red, and a 2008 Custom 24 in Ruby. Both are equipped with Bare Knuckle pickups- at this time a Painkiller set and a HolyDiver set respectively.

Now I think I need a Cu24 back in my life!

CU24 plus the piezo... Loving it!
Spent 3 hours playing it yesterday finally!

Yeah, man... you need a reward....... just like I need another 594........ but I might have to go SC594 this go 'round...

 

[Mozzi]

I'm still very happy with my 2018 Cu24

I have contemplated adding another - maybe a 24-08 or a P24 but I think if I were to add another, I would look for a Cu24 Floyd as I don't have a Floyd (or similar) type of guitar in my collection. I think a Cu24 would be more 'different' too to the Cu24 I have so it wouldn't overlap as much...

Go for it!

I thought having a Custom 24 was part of the requirements of joining this forum?!

Probably.
I’d be happy to enable that.

Oh, now that is freaking sweet!!!!

I'd been on the lookout for a great looking older Custom 24 for a killer price for many years.

I finally hit pay dirt in February of this year, when I happened upon my '95 Purple Custom 24 10-Top in a pawnshop.

This guitar is going to be a lifer in my collection for sure.

Some people hate the VB & HFS pickups in these guitars,but I think with the right amp and EQ they work.

To me there's nothing like the singing sustaining lead tone of an HFS pickup for a heavy rock song.

Such a beautiful guitar!! Is it actually red or purple? Can't really tell. Beautiful either way. I really want to get a purple PRS of some kind in the future.. Been keeping my eye out

I’ll get my coat!

 

[Glide-bpm]

@Mozzi , I hate to do this (plus a thread hijack).... but the evil step sister to your guitar wanted to say hi to her sister..........

Okay... thread hijack over................. Sad thing is, @Mozzi , when all those Wood Library SSH's came out with the exotic necks, etc., I would have
traded this sucker and some cash to give you your favorite color.......

Get your coat to head to the store to pick up a sweet custom 24 right?!

 

[bodia]

Probably.
I’d be happy to enable that.

I keep looking at the Fatbacks that Jack has. Those roasted maple necks are calling out to me.
