The PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition has just been announced. PRS Guitars is marking its 40th anniversary with a year of celebrations, highlighted by a series of high-profile events and the release of this stunning limited-edition guitar.
PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow
The festivities started in January with a star-studded concert at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California.
The event featured a lineup of renowned guitarists, including John Mayer, David Grissom, Orianthi, Herman Li, Mark Lettieri, and PRS founder, Paul Reed Smith. Following the concert’s success, PRS released the Charcoal Phoenix, a limited-edition guitar based on the instrument Paul Reed Smith played at the anniversary show. This release further fueled the excitement surrounding the company’s 40th year.
Now, PRS has unveiled the 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition model, a significant update to one of its foundational designs.
Paul Reed Smith
“The Custom 24 is one of the first two guitars I made to launch the company and has been our flagship design,” stated Paul Reed Smith in a press release. “Updating the 24-08 version for our 40th Anniversary with a semi-hollow body, EQ mini toggles, and this wood combination really allow the instrument to ‘sing’ in a full, beautiful voice of its own.”
TCI Pickups and EQ Mini-Toggles
These upgrades allow for a broader range of tonal possibilities, blending the clarity of single-coil pickups with the warmth of soapbars, all while minimizing hum. The EQ mini-toggles act as tuned high-pass filters, enhancing clarity and musical highs.
The guitar features a “10-top” grade figured maple top, a mahogany back and neck, a ziricote fretboard and headstock veneer, and a special inlay package, creating a visually stunning semi-hollow instrument.
Limited Edition
The 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition will be produced in a limited run of only 300 units, each accompanied by a certificate signed by Paul Reed Smith.
The guitar has four distinct finishes: Faded Whale Blue Smokeburst, Charcoal Tri-Color Burst, Faded Whale Blue Natural Back, and Charcoal Cherry Burst.
Price
As a top-tier offering from PRS, the 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition is priced at $6,950.
