S2 Custom 24
Fresh, Versatile Tone
The S2 Custom 24 takes the original PRS guitar, the Custom 24, and re-imagines it with stripped-down features and a new aesthetic. Retaining the classic maple top/mahogany back combination with our classic body shape and an asymmetrical beveled top, this guitar has a resonant, powerful voice. Its versatility comes from its Maryland, USA-wound 85/15 pickups and 5-way blade switch, offering all the same sounds as the flagship Custom 24. Familiar for PRS players of old, and a fresh take for players of all types.
After ten years, the PRS S2 Series is being updated with USA-made pickup and electronics for 2024 (and beyond). We are proud to bring this added value to what has become a fully integrated part of our manufacturing line and product offering.

"From the second I plugged in the PRS Custom 24, I felt as if I've never had so much power being a guitarist. Its original unique sound is unmatched by any other guitar on the market!!! It has the most full tone of any guitar ever, and that's just stock. I now consider it as an extension of my body... Hell, I even sleep with the thing... (TRUTH)”
- Bryce Klemer, Pacific Dub

- David Whitaker, Another Lost Year
"Personally, with our style of music and our live show, the weight and feel of my S2 Custom 24 is the perfect guitar for me. Absolutely the best guitar I've ever owned, amazing tone, and takes a beating, you'll have to pry it out of my hands, and I hold on for life.”
