Tucked away in an upstairs corner of the PRS factory are racks filled with extraordinary tonewoods. Mahogany, maple, rosewood, ebony, swamp ash, korina — you name it. This is the PRS Wood Library. It is from these premium tonewoods that Wood Library guitars like this one are built. This limited-edition PRS Wood Library Custom 24 features a stunning flamed maple 10-Top, a light but resonant swamp ash body, an East Indian rosewood neck, and a rosewood fingerboard. The Custom 24’s incredible Pattern Thin neck is fast enough for ripping solos yet substantial enough to support rhythm playing and chords. Year after year, Sweetwater players who demand top-tier performance and extra frets on the fingerboard turn to the PRS Custom 24.
The PRS Wood Library Custom 24 comes equipped with 85/15 humbuckers. These pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet yet articulate sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 85/15 set packs a real sonic punch, from chiming cleans to full-bore shred. The pickups are treated to PRS's TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, which means the team at PRS has used their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The Custom 24 includes master tone, 3-way switch, and push-pull controls that unlock an array of ear-grabbing tones, including single-coil textures. Guitarists at Sweetwater love these pickups. You will, too.
PRS’ Pattern Thin neck is a multipurpose neck that’s built for utility — not compromise. The Pattern Thin neck is slim enough to bust out twisting solos and leads yet still substantive enough for chords and rhythm work. Plus, the Pattern Thin neck reduces the guitar’s overall weight for a lighter, more balanced instrument that’s a breeze to handle and play. Essentially, Pattern Thin is the perfect choice for players who find themselves doing a little bit of everything.
As guitar manufacturers scramble to navigate supply chain issues, swamp ash — one of the finest tonewoods known to humankind — has become quite hard to come by. Thankfully, the PRS Wood Library’s vast stockpiles are still chock-full of swamp ash, which means classic guitar tones are still within your reach. Swamp ash grows only near the banks of the Mississippi River, the same central and southern heartlands that birthed the blues and rock ’n’ roll. Because its roots grow directly in water, it is the lightest species of ash available, with incredible balance, resonance, and dynamic response.
