SE Custom 24 platform
Body
The mahogany body with maple top and flame maple veneer delivers a balanced tonal character with warm mids, defined lows and brilliant highs. The ergonomic double-cut design provides comfortable access to all 24 frets – ideal for modern playing techniques and expressive solos.
Neck
The set-in maple neck in the popular Wide Thin profile delivers a fast, direct playing feel. Together with the rosewood fretboard, the 25" scale length and the characteristic PRS Bird Inlays, it creates the typical handling that players worldwide appreciate about the Custom 24.
The PRS Patented Tremolo provides expressive vibrato effects while maintaining high tuning stability – supported by PRS Designed Tuners and precise hardware.
Electronics
Equipped with two PRS 85/15 "S" humbuckers, the PRS SE Custom 24 Faded Gray Black Burst session Select covers a huge stylistic spectrum – from clear clean tones to punchy rock and modern high-gain sounds.
Using the 3-way switch and the push/pull tone control, the humbuckers can be split to produce additional transparent, single‑coil-like tonal colours. This makes the PRS SE Custom 24 Faded Gray Black Burst session Select a true all‑round guitar for stage, studio and rehearsal room.

The PRS SE series stands for the iconic PRS look, reliable build quality and versatile sounds at an attractive price-performance ratio. The SE family originated in 2000, when PRS began developing more affordable versions of their popular models. The idea came from Carlos Santana, who encouraged Paul Reed Smith to make high-quality PRS guitars accessible to beginners. The name SE stands for “Student Edition” – however, the instruments far exceed the expectations of their price range.
The guitars of the PRS SE series are manufactured in South Korea or Indonesia. To ensure the high quality standard, every instrument is finally inspected and set up at the PRS US factory before shipment.
The SE series offers an exceptionally wide variety of models: from single- and double-cut guitars to semi-hollow and hollowbody models, as well as signature and special variants, there is something for almost every playing style.

PRS Guitars sets its own standards when it comes to electric guitars. At session you'll find not only the high-class PRS Custom Shop guitars but also mid-range models and PRS electric basses. At NAMM 2016 PRS looked to the past and reintroduced CE 24 models to the main range after many years, featuring bolt-on and maple necks — an interesting alternative to the traditional construction. Later, a hugely successful instrument emerged through the collaboration with John Mayer: the Silver Sky series, which was initially expanded with more colours and later complemented by the more affordable SE series.
Through a great passion for guitar making and meticulous research and optimisation of his models, founder Paul Reed Smith has been creating instruments for over 40 years that are rightly regarded as true works of art. Not only guitar legends like Carlos Santana play the high-quality PRS guitars from the Standard line, the exclusive Private Stock or the more affordable SE production.
Paul Reed Smith makes a name for himself
Officially the American guitar maker PRS Guitars was founded in 1985, but founder and namesake Paul Reed Smith has been active in guitar making since around 1975. By giving his guitars to stars like Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola and Peter Frampton and convincing them directly, his instruments became increasingly well known. In 1985 serial production of the Custom 24 began. With former Gibson president Ted McCarty as an experienced advisor, Paul Reed Smith set the course for success for the guitars with the characteristic bird inlays on the fretboard.
Every guitar a Custom Shop model
PRS guitars are generally positioned at the higher price points due to high-quality materials and careful workmanship. Since the 1990s there has also been the SE line, manufactured in Korea, which despite more affordable materials still competes at a high quality level. The S2 series forms a bridge: the instruments are made in the USA but remain relatively affordable.
PRS refers to all its instruments as Custom Shop instruments because of the high quality and the options for customisation, but with the Private Stock instruments the company goes one step further and sets real benchmarks in terms of materials, quality, originality and individuality. One thing all PRS guitars have in common: they are true workhorses with great versatility and they look outrageously good. This is also evident from the countless endorsers who swear by their PRS, as well as the numerous signature models from artists like John Mayer, Carlos Santana, Orianthi, Mark Tremonti and Chad Kroeger.
