This 1986 PRS Custom 24 in Cherry Sunburst is a fantastic example of the early instruments that established Paul Reed Smith as one of the most respected names in the guitar world. Featuring the classic Custom 24 design, this vintage PRS combines exceptional craftsmanship, versatile electronics, and distinctive appointments that have made the model a modern classic. Instrument #60719 weighs in at a comfortable 8 lbs. 0 oz.

The guitar features a carved curly maple top over a mahogany back, paired with a mahogany neck and a beautiful Brazilian rosewood fingerboard. The medium-thick neck profile provides a substantial, comfortable feel, while the 24 medium-jumbo frets and iconic moon inlays complete the fingerboard. A 1 11/16" nut width and 24-fret layout offer the playability and upper-fret access that helped distinguish the Custom 24 from its earliest days.

Electronics include PRS Standard Treble and Bass pickups, delivering the clarity, punch, and versatility associated with these early PRS instruments. Controls consist of a master volume, 5-way rotary pickup selector, and PRS Sweet Switch, providing a wide range of tonal options. The original-style PRS tremolo and Schaller/PRS locking tuners provide dependable tuning stability, while nickel hardware adds to the guitar's understated vintage aesthetic.

With its early production date, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, curly maple top, original-style PRS hardware and electronics, and unmistakable Cherry Sunburst finish, this 1986 Custom 24 represents an important chapter in PRS history. A superb choice for the player or collector looking for an authentic early PRS with the character, craftsmanship, and specifications that helped launch the Custom 24 legacy.
