Paul Reed Smith PRS SE Custom 24 08 Poplar Burl Limited Edition w/Tracking
Description
■ SE Custom 24-08 Poplar Burl Limited Edition
We are pleased to announce the arrival of this limited-edition model, which retains the core specifications of the flagship "Custom 24"—the very foundation of the PRS lineup—while offering a striking aesthetic and a versatile sonic palette. It comes in a sophisticated, deep finish known as "Charcoal Cherry Midnight Burst."
The centerpiece of its visual appeal is the "Poplar Burl" veneer top, which boasts a unique and intense character. The organic, captivating grain patterns are showcased to full effect, resulting in a luxurious look that truly stands out on stage. Furthermore, the back of the neck and the entire body feature a smooth satin finish, ensuring a comfortable, stress-free playing experience—even when your hands sweat, your fingering remains fluid and unhindered.
The true highlight of this instrument is the "08" switching system, which unlocks a vast array of sounds. In addition to warm, thick humbucking tones, two dedicated mini-toggle switches allow you to independently split each pickup into a single-coil configuration. This provides eight distinct sound variations—surpassing the standard Custom 24—that can be accessed intuitively, making the guitar a highly practical, go-to instrument for any musical genre. It is equipped with "TCI 'S'" pickups, inspired by vintage tones, which deliver a warm, clear, and articulate sound that cuts through the mix.
The guitar also reflects a meticulous attention to detail in its body shape and playability. It features the classic 24-fret configuration and a 25-inch scale length, paired with a maple neck carved into a comfortable "Wide Thin" profile. This design facilitates effortless fingering, offering exceptional playability for everything from technical soloing to rhythmic backing work. Furthermore, the PRS patented tremolo bridge offers smooth arming, which is another appealing feature.
■ Condition
As a 2024 model, the instrument is in excellent overall condition with no significant or noticeable scratches.
However, there is some dulling and minor scratching on the metal hardware.
