Are you kidding me??? Now this one kids is a KILLER 24-08 that has all Private Stock appointments except for the Private Stock price in a beautiful one off sprayers choice custom color. From time to time PRS will give the finishers the freedom to paint a guitar any color they think will look best and this is one of them. Its a true custom color and the only one ever finished in this color. Built out November 2016 this Custom 24-08 Wood Library is your Les Paul, Stratocaster and PRS all in one weapon. It’s the same Custom 24 we know and love but this time it has a 3 way blade switch with a two mini toggle switches. This allows for eight distinct tonal options, from full humbucker through to chimey single coil tones. (See pickup chart below)
Specially appointed to commemorate the 2016 Experience PRS event this is just one of 50 Custom 24-08 guitars built for the European market only. All guitars were instantly sold out at the event. The wood was pulled from the PRS wood library and this one features a perfectly book matched quilted Maple Private Stock grade top in a gorgeous one off sprayers choice custom color, Swamp Ash body, Huge flamed Maple neck, Gaboon Ebony fingerboard, mother of pearlold school bird inlays, Gaboon Ebony headstock overlay, PRS scripted inlay on the headstock, and 85-15 pickups.
The Experience PRS 2016 Custom 24-08 adds a new control layout to this classic model. The Experience PRS 2016 Custom 24-08 features a 3-way blade switch and two mini-toggle coil split switches. This simple switching system, also featured on the PRS 408 model, allows for eight distinct pickup combinations that offer players additional tonal possibilities. The 85/15 Multi-Tap pickups, paired with this control layout, provide a full array of humbucker tones and single-coil sounds unlike any other PRS.Absolutely stunning tone woods was used for this guitar and the neck and top are Private Stock grade pulled from the wood library no doubt. A few dealers in the USA did get some of these but they were not built with a Private Stock flame Maple tops and necks or a swamp ash body like this one did as these were for the European dealers only. Its nice and light and plays beautifully with nice low action and the tone is to die for! This 24/08 is in as new mint unplayed condition with all factory paperwork, hang tags, and shipping carton.
*** Pease note I made the chart below so you can see how the coil taps work. Watch Paul Reed Smith explain the coil taps on a 408 guitar in the video. Even thought he is using a 408 it’s the same concept.
