Combining vintage electric tone and rich, vibrant acoustic tone in one sleek instrument, the PRS Custom 24 Piezo is one of the most sonically versatile guitars you'll find in the Sweetwater Guitar Gallery. Its separate output jacks and volume controls let you blend the sound of the acoustic piezo output with the Custom 24 Piezo's 85/15 humbucking pickups or send it out on its own separate signal path. With its fast neck, tasteful appointments, gorgeous tonewoods, and piezo-equipped PRS Gen-III tremolo, the PRS Custom 24 Piezo is ready to be your go-to guitar.
Its here and its drop dead gorgeous! The Faded Whale Blue 10 Top Custom 24 with Piezo is the 'do it all' guitar! And with the Piezo option you can get those.
The Custom 24 Piezo solidbody electric guitar is crafted from the tried-and-true combination of high-quality mahogany topped with beautifully figured maple. The Custom 24 Piezo's mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth while adding character to its acoustic tone. The carved figured maple top not only looks fantastic, but it's a harder wood that adds attack and sustain to your sound. And the rosewood-topped mahogany neck boasts a Pattern Thin profile for fast-playing comfort. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound.
The PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system onboard the Custom 24 Piezo's Gen-III tremolo gives you access to natural-sounding acoustic tones. A control knob lets you blend the sound of this pickup with the sound of the Custom 24 Piezo's humbuckers, adding a woodier quality and extra sustain to your tone. There's also a separate output next to the Custom 24 Piezo's main output that lets you send just the sound of the PRS/LR Baggs piezo pickup system to an acoustic amplifier or PA. Now you can cover electric and acoustic parts with the flip of a switch.
To create the 85/15 pickups, PRS took their Standard Treble and Bass pickup designs from 1985 and updated them with everything they've learned from decades of pickup manufacturing. The original '85 pickups were voted one of the 33 biggest pickup design innovations by Guitar Player magazine. The updated 85/15 pickups deliver much of the same vibe that has made the originals classic, while paying special attention to balancing their vintage character with the string-to-string clarity modern players demand.
