The Brazilian Custom 24 is one of only 500 limited-edition instruments created as part of the Brazilian Rosewood SeriesThis limited-edition Custom 24 differs from the standard Custom 24 in several respects. The most important is its Brazilian rosewood fretboard, which has a slightly silkier feel than the stock Indian rosewood board, and better accentuates the shimmer and harmonic complexity of the instrument’s upper frequencies. Significant cosmetic differences include the Brazilian rosewood headstock veneer with the word “Brazilian” and Paul Reed Smith’s signature inlayed with pink abalone heart, a Brazilian rosewood trussrod cover, pink abalone heart “bird” neck inlays, and special nickelsilver and gold hardware. Also, the back plates on each guitar are individually hand-numbered and signed by Smith (and an unsigned plate is included, just in case you actually want to play your guitar without messing up Paul’s signature). The Brazilian Custom 24 is available in a variety finishes, with either a flame or (optional) quilted maple top. The flame patterns in this particular instrument’s curly maple “10” top are beautifully accentuated by the translucent Whale Blue finish—a color that nicely complements the special hardware, gold speed knobs, and cream pickup surrounds.
The Brazilian Custom 24’s construction is outstanding. The woodworking is immaculately precise and detailed, the fretwork is exquisite, the inlays are perfectly set, and the hardware performs flawlessly. But, besides being a work of art, the guitar sounds wonderful. In short, this is one of the finest guitars I have ever had the pleasure of playing.
