Prs USA Custom 24-08 (TCI Pickups) - purple mist

The PRS USA Custom 24-08 (TCI Pickups, Purple Mist) is a variation on the standard Custom 24, featuring a circuit that provides access to eight different coil configurations (see diagram).

The original PRS USA Custom 24 perfectly embodies the ideal guitar that bridges the gap between a Gibson© Les Paul© and a Fender© Stratocaster©. It has been the flagship of PRS guitars since its launch in 1985, as it was this remarkable instrument that brought success to the American company.
While its vintage inspiration is evident, this high-quality solid body electric guitar offers absolutely contemporary tonal versatility and ergonomics. From crystal-clear tones to rich, well-defined overdrive and subtle crunch, it excels across a wide range of musical styles.

The result of a joint effort between Paul Reed Smith and John Mayer, the TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups combine the characteristics of the brand’s finest pickups. They undergo a highly precise manufacturing process that ensures every unit delivers exactly the same performance.
The TCI pickups are fundamentally inspired by the legendary P.A.F., but in a modernized version featuring a wide frequency response and exceptional clarity, while remaining just as warm and expressive.

The Custom 24-08 is impressive: the woods are clearly selected with the utmost care; the assembly, fretting, and finish are flawless; the electronics are flexible and expressive; the hardware is of the highest quality; and the playability is remarkable.
Musicians looking for a high-quality, versatile instrument—crafted with surgical precision and 100% reliable—are sure to fall in love with the Custom 24-08.
With a consistency in build quality that does the brand justice, if you’re looking for value for your money, it won’t disappoint you.
