The Custom 24-08 Fire Smokeburst model offers a combination of a maple top and an ergonomically shaped mahogany body with the typical PRS double cutaway. Glued to the mahogany neck with Pattern Thin profile is a rosewood fingerboard fitted with deluxe mother-of-pearl position markers in the shape of bird silhouettes.
A pair of 85/15 humbuckers, specially designed directly by company founder Paul Reed Smith, offer extended response in both high and low frequencies in addition to remarkable transparency. The sound settings can be adjusted via a volume potentiometer, a tone diaphragm, a three-position pickup switch and two mini coil-tap switches that turn a full humbucker sound into a single-coil in seconds (the guitar offers eight different pickup configurations in total).
Also worth mentioning is the detailed hardware, led by the Gen III tremolo system. All the grooves and screw holes are shaped to ensure maximum contact between the individual components, or the optimum string break angle, so that even the most subtle vibrations are transmitted to the body. The stones are fixed against sideways movement, and the exact position of the vibrato lever can be adjusted with a built-in screw. The nickel hardware is complemented by precision Phase III Locking tuners with a mechanism that prevents unwanted string movement.
The guitar comes in a carrying case.
Paul Reed Smith's PRS guitars are considered some of the most versatile and reliable instruments ever made. Thanks to their great sound and playing comfort, they have been favoured by Carlos Santana and Mark Tremonti, for example. In addition to the tried-and-tested classics, the brand also offers left-handed models, seven-string, baritone and semi-hollowbody guitars, and signature models from famous guitarists.
