DISC PRS SE Custom 24-08, Faded Blue

Full Description

Perform without limits

Unleash your creativity and live up to your potential with a pair of TCI S pickups. They demonstrate PRS's unparalleled quality and meticulous attention to detail. TCI, or 'tuning capacitance inductance', is a process the pickups have endured to ensure every single note is projected with a refined tuning, giving you a consistent sound amongst the bass and treble ranges.

Go from smooth and mellow tones to ones with aggression and bite. These vintage-sounding pickups are sure to make an impact, especially when you push them hard. Better still, the opportunity this guitar gives you to create your own distinctive sound is exceptional. Explore eight magnificent pickup settings brought by two mini-toggle coil tap switches and a 3-way pickup selector. You will be recognisable from the first note.

An iconic duo

Two legendary tonewoods combine to create one mesmerising instrument. A maple and mahogany build is what gives this guitar its sleek design and comfortable feel. But these tonewoods also contribute to the exhilarating tone, delivering a warmth and brightness in good measure, whilst projecting every note with a gorgeous clarity.

Taking centre stage is a maple top. It really is the ultimate wood for gigging with. Whether you're strumming or fingerpicking, maple ensures there is glistening definition, enough to separate the notes of even the most complex chords. It is bright, loud, and offers minimal feedback, so you won't have to suffer that dreaded muddy sound. It also grants the guitar improved robustness, as well as a high-end finish. Prepare for sharp articulation, immense volume, and a mesmerising gig.

Providing a resonant undercurrent of warmth are the mahogany back and sides. Mahogany balances out the bright tonal qualities of the maple perfectly thanks to its focus on midrange frequencies. And it promises a lifetime of divine playing as it matures beautifully, growing more focused the more you play. Such a gorgeous guitar body also needs excellent strength and durability to be able to handle wild gigs and lengthy studio sessions. Luckily, mahogany is incredibly robust and so as well as ageing with grace, its sturdiness will never tire either.

Deliver pure brilliance

The magnificent qualities of this guitar travel from the body and up a sublime maple neck. Showcasing a tremendous, thin, and wide design, the neck is wonderfully comfortable to hold and gives your fingers the space they need to roam the rosewood fretboard freely. Rosewood is a stunning accompaniment to mahogany and maple, as it evens out any harsh frequencies to ensure you are left with a beautifully balanced sound that begs your virtuosic sculpting. Its natural finish embellished with elegant bird inlays is striking and truly beautiful.

Featuring a 25" scale length, the SE Custom 24-08 is designed to make pitch bends exceptionally easy, whilst the right amount of string tension still provides a gorgeous sustain. Slide your fingers across the smooth and fast frets effortlessly and experience the freedom of a 24-fret instrument with a classic aesthetic and unique, versatile tone. A sturdy tremolo bridge then allows you to enhance your music. Whether you're performing mind-blowing divebombs or just adding another dimension to your chords, do so with vigour and passion.
