With the SE Custom 24-08 solidbody electric guitar, PRS brings one of their most sonically versatile guitars to their most affordable line of instruments. It's loaded with a pair of TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) humbucking pickups and advanced switching options to yield every type of tone a modern guitarist could ask for. Two mini toggle switches serve as coil taps for each pickup, allowing you to instantly switch between fat humbucking tones and chiming single-coil tones — there's even a "dual single-coil" mode unique to this model. Complete with PRS's Wide Thin neck profile for comfortably fast playability, this PRS SE Custom 24-08 offers a lifetime of musical exploration that's yours for the taking.
PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups
PRS 85/15 "S" pickups balance vintage character with modern clarity to deliver the sweet — yet articulate — sound and rich harmonic overtones of vintage humbuckers. Featuring a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, the 85/15 "S" set packs a real sonic punch, from chimey cleans to fire-breathing heat. The pickups are treated to PRS's TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, which means the team at PRS has used their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The end result is a very musical pickup that's true to its lineage, but updated for the modern player.
Advanced switching for eight distinct tones
The "-08" in this model's moniker refers to the eight distinct tones you can conjure. With the 3-way blade switch you can access the pickup positions you'd expect from a dual-humbucker guitar — neck only, neck plus bridge, and bridge only. The two mini-toggle switches allow you to explore five more combinations — each switch engages a coil tap for each pickup, giving you access to snappy, articulate single-coil tones.
