For four decades, PRS has stood at the forefront of guitar design, blending artistry, innovation, and playability in ways that have shaped modern music. The PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Limited Edition is a tribute to that legacy — a celebration of the guitar that started it all and the countless players who’ve made it their instrument of choice. With only 500 made worldwide, it’s not just a guitar but a milestone in PRS history.
From Paul Reed Smith’s early workshop creations to the global stage, the Custom 24 has been the flagship model that defined PRS tone and style. This 40th Anniversary edition honours that journey by combining classic PRS DNA with unique design elements, reminding players of the company’s roots while pushing the instrument into new creative territory.
The defining feature of this limited edition is its striking satin nitro finish, which gives the figured mango top a bold, modern edge. Unlike the traditional maple tops found on most Custom 24s, the mango wood brings a unique, quilted visual character while maintaining tonal qualities similar to maple. The deep hue of the finish highlights the natural figuring of the wood, offering a sleek, sophisticated aesthetic.
This choice of materials and finish sets the guitar apart as a true collector’s piece. The satin nitro not only enhances resonance and feel but also develops a natural patina over time, making each instrument even more personal to its owner. Paired with smoked black hardware, the finish exudes understated elegance while retaining PRS’s unmistakable style.
While the look is unique, the feel of the Custom 24 remains instantly familiar. Built with a solid mahogany back and a one-piece mahogany neck, it offers the warmth and sustain that PRS guitars are celebrated for. The Pattern Thin neck profile ensures fast, comfortable playability, perfect for both fluid lead runs and complex chord voicings. The 24-fret ebony fretboard, adorned with “Old School” bird inlays, adds a touch of vintage PRS character while delivering a smooth playing surface.
The satin nitro finish contributes to more than aesthetics — it enhances the tactile connection between player and guitar. Its organic feel makes the neck exceptionally comfortable in hand, encouraging longer playing sessions without fatigue. This combination of ergonomic design and premium finishing makes the guitar as enjoyable to play as it is to admire.
At the heart of the 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin are PRS’s exclusive DMO pickups (Dynamic, Musical, Open). These were voiced specifically to deliver a wide-open tonal range with a vocal-like quality, giving players expressive cleans, articulate midrange, and powerful overdrive. With a 5-way blade switch, the guitar offers exceptional versatility, covering everything from sparkling single-coil textures to full-bodied humbucking power.
PRS’s innovative electronics are paired with their Gen III patented tremolo system and Phase III locking tuners, ensuring tuning stability and tonal fidelity. These appointments make the instrument stage- and studio-ready, while staying true to the spirit of the original Custom 24 design. Whether you’re exploring delicate textures or driving high-gain riffs, the electronics deliver clarity, depth, and unmistakable PRS character.
Every detail of the 40th Anniversary Custom 24 Satin Limited Edition reinforces its role as a commemorative piece. From the ebony headstock veneer with the outlined “Pre-Factory” eagle to the hand-signed 40th Anniversary certificate, it’s designed to celebrate PRS’s journey while offering players a guitar of lasting value. Each instrument includes a PRS ATA multi-fit molded case for reliable protection.
Limited to just 500 worldwide, this model represents more than a guitar — it’s a statement of PRS’s dedication to craftsmanship, innovation, and artistry. For players, collectors, and fans alike, it is both a celebration of the past 40 years and a promise of the future of PRS guitars.
