Paul Reed Smith 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Limited Editions – Tiger Eye & Sub Zero (PRE-ORDER)
Celebrating four decades of craftsmanship, Paul Reed Smith has unveiled two stunning limited-edition guitars: the PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24 in Tiger Eye and Sub Zero. With only 400 of each model available worldwide, these commemorative guitars are a must-have for serious collectors and musicians looking for PRS’s iconic design blended with fresh innovations.
Iconic Design with Modern Innovation
Each 40th Anniversary Custom 24 showcases the time-honored PRS aesthetic. Crafted with a solid mahogany back and neck, these guitars feature a beautifully figured maple top that reflects PRS’s dedication to high-quality materials. PRS added unique retro touches with a violin-style top carve, nostalgic “Old School” bird inlays, and a vintage-inspired “Pre-Factory” headstock eagle, all nodding to PRS’s roots.
Under the hood, these guitars are far from retro. Both models feature PRS’s latest DMO Treble and Bass pickups. Developed by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS engineering team, these pickups (DMO for Dynamic, Musical, Open) produce an open, vocal-like tone that’s clear, responsive, and packed with character. This innovative addition, along with PRS’s classic appointments like the Gen III patented tremolo and Phase III locking tuners, brings you a Custom 24 that plays and sounds as good as it looks.
