Description

The 2018 PRS SE Custom 24 Left Handed in Fire Red Burst brings the core design of PRS’s flagship Custom 24 to left-handed players in a versatile and performance-focused SE Series instrument.

Its mahogany back is topped with maple and an attractive flame maple veneer, while the set maple neck uses PRS’s slim and comfortable Wide Thin profile. A rosewood fingerboard, 24-fret layout and 25" scale give the guitar the familiar feel that has become central to the Custom 24 design.

A pair of PRS 85/15 “S” humbuckers provides plenty of clarity, output and extended frequency response, while the push/pull Tone control adds coil-tapped sounds for greater versatility.

This Pre-Owned example is in Good condition, weighs an actual 8.22 lbs, carries serial number S19654, and includes a gigbag.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The SE Custom 24 has long been one of PRS’s most versatile designs, combining dual-humbucker power with a comfortable double-cutaway body and a full two-octave fingerboard.

The 85/15 “S” pickups provide enough output for rock and higher-gain playing while retaining clarity for cleaner sounds. Pulling the Tone control introduces coil-tapped voices, giving the guitar access to brighter and leaner tones without requiring additional switches.

For left-handed players, this 2018 model is particularly appealing because it comes from the introduction period of the dedicated left-handed SE Custom 24.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Mahogany & Maple Construction

The guitar combines a mahogany back with a bevelled maple top, giving it the warmth and sustain associated with mahogany while the maple contributes additional definition.

Flame Maple Veneer

A flame maple veneer provides the distinctive figuring visible beneath the Fire Red Burst finish and gives the instrument a more premium visual appearance.

Wide Thin Maple Neck

The set maple neck uses PRS’s Wide Thin profile, designed for players who prefer a relatively slim and fast-feeling neck without sacrificing stability.

Rosewood Fingerboard

The rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface and is decorated with PRS’s recognisable bird inlays.

24-Fret Layout

Twenty-four frets provide a full two-octave range on every string, giving the Custom 24 additional upper-register access compared with traditional 21- or 22-fret guitars.

25" Scale Length

The 25" scale sits between the shorter Gibson-style 24.75" scale and Fender’s longer 25.5" scale, providing a useful balance between comfortable string tension and clear note definition.

PRS 85/15 “S” Humbuckers

Two PRS 85/15 “S” humbuckers provide a clear, extended response with enough output for driven sounds while retaining definition across clean and lower-gain settings.

Push/Pull Coil Tap

The Tone control features a push/pull function that taps the humbuckers for brighter, more single-coil-like sounds.

This gives the guitar a broader tonal range than a conventional fixed dual-humbucker layout.

PRS Tremolo

The PRS patented moulded tremolo provides smooth pitch movement for subtle vibrato, chord shimmer and more expressive lead techniques.

Left-Handed Configuration

This guitar is built specifically for left-handed players, including the control layout, bridge orientation and overall playing configuration.

8.22 lbs Actual Weight

This individual guitar weighs an actual 8.22 lbs, giving buyers a precise indication of how this specific example will feel.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The PRS SE Custom 24 Left Handed is particularly well suited to left-handed players looking for one versatile guitar capable of covering clean, rock, blues, alternative and higher-gain styles.

It is also an excellent option for players moving up from an entry-level guitar who want better hardware, more tonal flexibility and a full 24-fret neck.

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The SE Custom 24 works particularly well for rock, blues, alternative, pop, fusion, hard rock and general studio or live playing.

Full humbucker mode delivers thicker rhythm and lead sounds, while the coil-tapped settings provide brighter tones for clean rhythm work and lighter textures.

HOW IT COMPARES

SE Custom 24 vs SE Standard 24

The SE Standard 24 uses an all-mahogany body construction, while the Custom 24 adds a maple top and decorative flame maple veneer.

SE Custom 24 vs Traditional Dual-Humbucker Guitar

Many dual-humbucker guitars provide only full humbucker sounds. The SE Custom 24 adds push/pull coil tapping for greater tonal flexibility.

PRS 25" Scale vs Gibson & Fender

The PRS 25" scale sits almost exactly between Fender’s 25.5" scale and Gibson’s commonly used 24.75" scale, giving the guitar a distinctive balance of tension and playability.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Left-handed players looking for a versatile dual-humbucker guitar with coil-tapped sounds, tremolo and a full 24-fret range.

Customers usually upgrade from: Entry-level left-handed electric guitars, PRS SE Standard models and basic dual-humbucker instruments.

Most commonly paired with: Valve and modelling amplifiers, overdrive, distortion, delay, reverb and modulation effects.

Our tip: Use the push/pull Tone control more than you might expect. The coil-tapped positions add genuinely useful brighter sounds and make the Custom 24 far more adaptable for clean rhythm work.

Showroom feedback: Left-handed SE Custom 24 models offer an excellent combination of playability and tonal range. The Fire Red Burst finish and flame top also give this 2018 example a strong visual presence.
