A celebration of four decades of innovation and excellence.
Celebrating four decades of innovation, the PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow limited-Edition electric guitar is a masterful blend of heritage and modern ingenuity. This limited-edition model combines the signature specs of the original 1985 Custom with cutting-edge updates like TCI pickups and EQ mini-toggle switches. Its semi-hollow construction enhances tonal depth and resonance, producing a rich, organic sound. The "10-top" grade figured maple top, paired with a mahogany body and neck, ensures tonal clarity and sustain. A ziricote fretboard and headstock veneer, along with a special anniversary inlay package, elevate this guitar's aesthetic. Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide, this model is a collector's dream and a player's delight, complete with a hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate for added exclusivity.
TCI Pickups for Refined Tonal Versatility
The PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow features TCI pickups, meticulously designed to deliver a full, musical tone. These American alnico pickups capture the essence of vintage single-coils and soapbars while offering enhanced clarity and definition. The addition of dual EQ mini-toggle switches unlocks even more tonal possibilities by engaging tuned high-pass filters to accentuate high frequencies. This functionality ensures that every note cuts through the mix with balanced highs and controlled lows. Whether you're playing clean or overdriven, these pickups provide unparalleled articulation, making this guitar a versatile tool for tonal exploration.
Semi-Hollow Body for Enhanced Resonance and Sustain
Designed with a semi-hollow body, this guitar delivers a tone that is both robust and dynamic. The violin-carved "10-top" figured maple top and mahogany back create a warm, resonant foundation, while the f-hole adds both visual elegance and acoustic depth. The semi-hollow construction contributes to a fuller, more organic sound, blending the sustain of a solidbody with the airiness of a hollow-body guitar. This design ensures that the instrument responds beautifully to subtle nuances, making it ideal for players who demand expressiveness in their tone. Its lightweight build also enhances comfort during extended playing sessions.
Premium Hardware for Precision and Stability
Equipped with PRS Phase III locking tuners and a Gen III patented tremolo bridge, this guitar delivers exceptional tuning stability and smooth operation. The Phase III tuners feature wing buttons for quick, accurate adjustments, while the tremolo allows for expressive techniques like fluttering or divebombing without compromising intonation. The hybrid hardware plating adds a refined touch, complementing the guitar's luxurious aesthetics. Together, these components ensure that the guitar performs flawlessly, whether in the studio or on stage, while maintaining its striking visual appeal.
Ziricote fretboard and old-school inlays
The ziricote fretboard on this model offers not only stunning visuals but also a smooth playing experience. Its 24-fret, 25-inch scale length provides effortless access to every note, while the 10-inch radius ensures comfortable chording and fluid bends. Adorned with "old school" bird inlays outlined for added detail, the fretboard pays homage to PRS's rich design heritage. The ziricote headstock veneer further enhances the guitar's aesthetic, featuring a pre-factory eagle logo that nods to PRS's legacy. This combination of premium materials and thoughtful design guarantees both playability and visual sophistication.

Limited to just 300 pieces worldwide, the PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24-08 Semi-Hollow Limited Edition electric guitar is an essential acquisition for players and collectors alike.
