PRS SE Custom 24-08 Swamp Ash Burl - Lake Blue w/ Natural Back

The PRS SE Exotic Custom 24 Swamp Ash Burl is a bold fusion of premium craftsmanship, tonal flexibility, and striking visual design—perfect for discerning guitarists seeking both performance and personality. Built with the hallmark quality that defines PRS, this limited-edition model elevates the classic Custom 24 with exotic tonewoods and modern playability, making it a standout choice for stage, studio, or collection.

At first glance, the swamp ash burl veneer atop a carved maple top immediately commands attention with its intricate grain patterns and high-gloss nitrocellulose finish, which not only enhances the natural beauty of the wood but also allows it to age gracefully over time. The mahogany body provides a warm tonal foundation with rich midrange character, complementing the clarity and brightness of the maple top for a balanced and dynamic sound.

The guitar features a fast, comfortable Wide Thin maple neck and a smooth rosewood fretboard adorned with iconic PRS bird inlays, offering fluid playability across all 24 frets. The 25" scale length strikes a sweet spot—giving players a perfect blend of string tension and playing comfort, ideal for both precise leads and expressive chords.

Under the hood, the SE Exotic Custom 24 is powered by a pair of PRS 85/15 "S" pickups, engineered to deliver an expansive tonal range with articulate highs, tight low end, and plenty of midrange punch. Whether you're dialing in sparkling cleans, warm overdrives, or aggressive leads, this versatile pickup set ensures every note cuts through with clarity and definition.

Additional features include a PRS-designed tremolo system for expressive pitch control and dependable tuning stability, along with solid hardware that’s built to withstand the rigors of performance. With its rare aesthetic appeal and professional-grade performance, the PRS SE Exotic Custom 24 Swamp Ash Burl is more than just a guitar—it's a statement piece for players who demand the best of both form and function.
