Crafted by the PRS Wood Library program’s most prestigious luthiers with specs guided by Sweetwater, the PRS Wood Library Custom 24 represents a premium tonewood twist on PRS’ classic 24-fret 6-string. This guitar begins with a lightweight and remarkably resonant mahogany body, topped with an attention-grabbing quilt maple top for a touch of top-end treble snap. On the opposite end, a supremely stable torrefied figured maple neck in a Pattern Thin profile supplies lightning-fast playability up and down the top-of-the-line Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. Two 59/09 pickups deliver rich, defined, and dynamic humbucking elegance, merging vintage-style humbucker warmth with modern PRS pickup articulation. You also get a superb smoked black hardware setup, including a PRS patented tremolo and Phase III locking tuners. Available only at Sweetwater, this PRS Wood Library Custom 24’s masterful build, flexible sonics, and eye-catching aesthetics set it leagues apart from the 6-string pack!
On many of PRS’ most classic designs, a mahogany neck is all but a prerequisite — for good reason, too, as it’s served as one of the guitar’s premier tonewoods since the instrument was first electrified! However, as Sweetwater’s guitar experts are always up for a bit of tonewood experimentation, we’ve spec’d this Wood Library Custom 24 with a gorgeous torrefied maple neck. Why? Maple is already one of the sturdiest tonewoods commonly utilized for guitar necks, and the process of torrefying the timber — essentially baking out any excess moisture — results in a neck with simply unmatched stability. Lastly, it’s all topped off with an immaculate Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, beaming with Old School Paua Birds inlays.
Since 1985, PRS guitars have taken extreme pride in their exceptional quality, which is evident in every inch of the Wood Library Custom 24. Its hardware is no exception. Combining the intonation and tuning stability of a hardtail with the expressive capabilities of a traditional vibrato bridge, the PRS Patented Tremolo is designed for maximum tonal transfer between the hardware and woods. The result is a great tone and stable tuning performance. PRS Phase III locking tuners ooze elegance and class, with high-tolerance pegs, large buttons, an open back, and a closed housing. Restringing is easy, as the locking tuners clip the string end for you, so you’ll spend much less time tuning up and more time playing.
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.
