With the PRS Custom 24 Piezo Charcoal #20 0299811 electric guitar, the Maryland noble guitar maker Paul Reed Smith continues the tradition of his model which has been firmly established since the 1985 NAMM Show. Equipped with a solid flamed maple top, PRS 85/15 humbuckers and a piezo system developed in collaboration with LR Baggs, this electric guitar sets both optical and tonal highlights and furthermore convinces with its flawless finish.
In building the PRS Custom 24 Piezo Charcoal #20 0299811, the luthiers around Paul Reed Smith only use selected woods for the perfect sound experience. The body is made of carefully selected mahogany , whereas the vividly drawn flamed maple top is framed by the natural binding typical for PRS, where the edges of the top are not stained. The set mahogany neck with its well-shaped "Pattern Thin" profile offers great playability for classical and modern techniques. Furthermore on the rosewood fretboard , the coveted bird inlays provide excellent orientation among the 24 frets .
The PRS 85/15 humbuckers , developed personally by Paul Reed Smith, reflect the 30 years of experience of the Maryland guitar maker in a contemporary sound. Thus these pickups convince with a remarkably clear sound image that makes every note played shine. Via the 5-way blade switch the humbucker coils can be called up in different combinations, so that several sound nuances can be achieved. Furthermore the piezo pickup system , developed in collaboration with LR Baggs , can be used to create authentic acoustic guitar sounds.
The features of the PRS Custom 24 Piezo Charcoal #20 0299811 are completed by high-quality in-house hardware. On the body the strings are held by the proven PRS Tremolo , which impresses with its smooth handling and high functionality, and thanks to its rounded edges, provides a comfortable grip for the hand. At the head plate the strings run with straight tension from the nut to the PRS Phase III locking tuners . These guarantee a high tuning stability even with frequent use of the vibrato arm and make string changes much easier. The PRS Custom 24 is delivered in a noble PRS case , which offers the electric guitar the best possible protection during transport.
