Paul's been at it for 30 years, and I think I speak for most of the players out there when I say thank god. Since 1985, Paul Reed Smith Guitars has set the bar higher and higher. The Custom 24 was the inaugural PRS, and it's stayed in the spotlight for the same reasons everyone noticed it some thirty years ago. Though it's been tweaked and improved, its DNA remains unchanged: A mid scale-length, dual humbucker guitar with unmatched aesthetics, playability and tone, firmly rooted in the tradition of great electric guitar building but distinctly unique. This Limited Edition 30th Anniversary Custom 24 has everything you'd expect on a core PRS, plus a few new features we haven't seen yet. The purfling around the fretboard really dresses the guitar up, and the new bird inlay design is very cool. Paul has really decked this one out in the electronics department - there are some new humbuckers in there that build on the Custom 24's unmistakable voice.

This Custom 24 sports all of the great features that have gotten the Custom 24 where it is. Gorgeous flame maple top, 25" scale, two humbucker setup, unmatched aesthetics and an instantly recognizable feel. This 30th Anniversary model builds on that foundation by adding fretboard purfling, a new bird inlay design, and brand new 85/15 pickups designed personally by Paul Reed Smith. These are uncovered pickups with remarkable clarity as well as extended high and low end perfect for modern sounds.  This is an iconic guitar that offers players both a piece of electric guitar history and an unrivaled, expertly crafted instrument that's capable of just about anything.
