Why Choose The PRS S2 Custom 24 Faded Gray Black Blue Burst?

The Classic PRS Custom 24 Formula

The Custom 24 is one of PRS’s most important designs, known for combining 24-fret access, humbucker power, versatile switching and smooth playability. The S2 Custom 24 brings that formula into a USA-made guitar built for serious everyday use.

USA-Made S2 Build Quality

PRS S2 guitars are made in Maryland, USA and are designed for players who want professional PRS quality in a more accessible format than the Core range. They offer strong build consistency, excellent fretwork and a refined playing experience.

Faded Gray Black Blue Burst Finish

The Faded Gray Black Blue Burst finish gives this guitar a premium modern look, with a dark smoky outer edge and blue burst character that highlights the PRS body shape beautifully. It is a distinctive finish that stands out without looking overly flashy.

24-Fret Versatility

The 24-fret layout gives players a full two-octave range on each string, making it ideal for lead guitar, modern rock, progressive styles and players who like complete upper-register access.

Dual Humbucker Power

The HH pickup configuration provides full, powerful and articulate tones for rhythm and lead playing. It works well for clean sounds, edge-of-breakup tones, overdriven rock, saturated leads and heavier gain settings.

5-Way Blade Switching

The 5-way blade switch gives this guitar more tonal flexibility than a basic two-humbucker setup. It allows access to full humbucker tones as well as brighter, more open pickup combinations, making the S2 Custom 24 useful across a wide range of styles.

PRS Tremolo System

The PRS tremolo system gives smooth vibrato response while keeping the guitar practical and stable when set up correctly. It is ideal for subtle pitch movement, expressive lead work and modern performance techniques.

Gigbag Included

The included gigbag adds practical protection for storage, transport, rehearsals and gigs.

Comparison Against Popular Alternatives

PRS S2 Custom 24 vs PRS SE Custom 24

The PRS SE Custom 24 is an excellent value import model, while the S2 Custom 24 offers USA manufacture, upgraded build quality and a more refined professional feel. The S2 is the stronger option for players who want a serious PRS for long-term use.

PRS S2 Custom 24 vs PRS Core Custom 24

The Core Custom 24 offers PRS’s higher-end woods, finishes and Core-level craftsmanship. The S2 Custom 24 keeps the essential Custom 24 design, 24-fret layout and switching versatility at a more accessible price point.

PRS S2 Custom 24 vs PRS S2 McCarty 594

The S2 McCarty 594 has a more vintage-inspired feel, shorter 24.594" scale length and two-piece bridge. The S2 Custom 24 feels more modern, with 24 frets, a 25" scale and tremolo system for broader contemporary use.

PRS S2 Custom 24 vs Gibson Les Paul

A Gibson Les Paul offers a thicker singlecut feel and more traditional humbucker sound. The S2 Custom 24 is lighter in feel, more ergonomic, has 24 frets and offers more switching flexibility.

PRS S2 Custom 24 vs Fender Stratocaster HSS

An HSS Stratocaster offers classic Fender single-coil character with a bridge humbucker. The PRS S2 Custom 24 gives a more set-neck-style feel, dual-humbucker power and PRS switching versatility.
