Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Artist Faded Indigo

Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Artist Faded Indigo
Serial Number: 0429672
Weight: 6.72 lbs.

The PRS Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Artist in Faded Indigo is a limited release, with only 150 built worldwide — a rare opportunity at PRS's original, defining model, the guitar Paul Reed Smith first brought to the public at PRS's inaugural Winter NAMM show in 1985. This Artist-grade build pairs a flame maple top with a mahogany back in semi-hollow construction, delivering added resonance and airiness over the solid-body Custom 24 while retaining the model's core tone and sustain. Finished in high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer in Faded Indigo, it's remarkably light at 6.72 lbs.

The set mahogany neck carries PRS's Pattern Thin profile (53/64" at the half fret, 57/64" at the 12 1/2 fret) for fast, low-effort playability, topped with a rosewood fretboard, PRS's signature bird inlays, and a 10" radius across 24 frets and PRS's shorter 25" scale length for slightly eased string tension and faster bends. A 1 11/16" PRS nut leads to PRS Phase III tuners with wing buttons in nickel, and PRS's patented Gen III tremolo delivers smooth, stable pitch bends with excellent tuning stability.

Electronics come from a pair of PRS DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) pickups, personally developed by Paul Reed Smith and PRS's engineering team from research into prized vintage pickup designs, delivering a wide-open, vocal tonal character with clarity across the full frequency range in each pickup — wired to volume, tone, and a 5-way blade selector for real tonal range. Whether you're a touring or gigging player who wants the original PRS design refined with decades of R&D, a collector drawn to a limited 150-unit worldwide run, or a tone-chaser after the DMO pickups' wide-open vocal character, this Custom 24 Semi-Hollow delivers the model that started it all. This Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Artist Faded Indigo (Serial #0429672, 1 of 150 made worldwide) includes a PRS hardshell case.
