Paul Reed Smith (PRS) / Core Electric Models 2023 Custom 24 Orange Tiger [S/N 23 0366084]
PRS standard model "Custom24"! !
This Custom 24 is a model that can be said to be synonymous with PRS.
Since the Custom 24 was announced at Winter NAMM in 1985, it has continued to fascinate guitarists around the world with its reliable playability, sound, and looks, and has determined the sound quality of PRS tones, despite repeated minor specification changes. It's a model.
The latest model of the Custom 24 features the patented PRS Gen III tremolo system, PRS 85/15 pickups, and a 5-way blade switch. The 85/15 pickup was designed by Paul Reed Smith himself, and features a wide range from bass to treble, and a sound that stands out even when distorted.
If you pick up the Custom 24 and play it, you'll definitely get a feel for why PRS has grown into one of the biggest guitar brands.
With the exception of some models, PRS guitars have not used much lacquer for some time, instead making extensive use of acrylic and polyurethane to create a hard yet thin coating, which has been the standard for this brand up until now. There is no doubt that it was a rational coating that had the advantages of both polyurethane and lacquer.
However, it is easy to imagine that the reason for using lacquer coating was to pursue further sound improvement rather than cost and production efficiency. The price of electric guitars has tended to rise year by year for all brands, but despite their high quality, PRS guitars remained at a reasonable price and remained almost unchanged for a while. This is simply because the V-12 finish and previous paints were both highly efficient in production and had great sound, and were painting techniques that no other manufacturer could imitate.
PRS, which never stops evolving, has finally abandoned production efficiency and focused on improving the sound. The result was the Custom 24 with this spec.
The tuner uses the "Tweaked" Phase III Locking Tuners, which were installed in the McCarty 594 and became a hot topic.The distance between the peg button and the shaft can be adjusted, which changes the way the machine head vibrates (makes the sound violent, etc.). This is a tuner that allows you to adjust the
The 85/15 pickup was also changed to TCI. We have reviewed the wiring of the conventional 85/15 pickups, and the sound has changed dramatically just by changing the winding method.
By changing the finish, tuner, and pickup, the clean sound is noticeably clearer and softer than the previous model. There are fewer harsh highs than ever before, and the balance is slightly closer to the bass side, giving a calmer impression. In particular, the crunch sound was very pleasant, and it felt a little closer to a McCarty model. Is it really okay to go this far? ! That's what I think.
I thought it might have simply lowered the output, but for some reason it seems to be good at high gain, and the sound doesn't get crushed even when I distort it strongly. The distortion is firm and beautiful, and the long sustain is still intact. Is this because TCI is working?
If I had to sum it up in words, it would be enough to say that the versatile guitar has become even more versatile, but when you actually play it and compare it, you'll notice that the sound has improved tremendously. I think you can understand.
