It goes without saying that the 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow’s figured maple 10-Top is glorious to behold, but this semi-hollowbody electric guitar wasn’t built to be stared at — it was built to be played. Don’t believe us? Pick it up! This Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow’s mahogany neck boasts PRS’s eminently comfortable Pattern Thin shape, which is guaranteed to spark your most inspired playing ever. You’ve never experienced fast and playable until you’ve gotten your hands on a Pattern Thin neck. Moreover, it’s an excellent choice for players with smaller hands or guitarists who use classical left-hand positioning, pivoting with their thumb on the back of the neck. This Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow also sports a 10-inch-radius and a 24-fret ziricote fingerboard that’s primed for lightning-fast fretwork.
The PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow is equipped with a pair of exceptional TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) pickups. The guitar’s hot bridge pickup is perfect for deploying leads infused with fat, snarling tone; back off the Volume control, and it cleans up beautifully. Switch to the neck pickup, and you’ll hear every note articulated in a chord, even in high-gain situations. These pickups are complemented by dual EQ mini-toggle switches, which act as tuned highpass filters. Inspired by the 2023 Private Stock John McLaughlin model, these switches remove shelved low end, allowing high frequencies to shine through for added clarity and musical highs.
