The Guitar Player's Resource
Thirty-five years is a long time in the guitar world - long enough to learn what works, what doesn't, and what players actually need when the stage lights come up and the real work begins.
PRS didn't just slap some anniversary graphics on an existing model and call it special. Instead, they took their foundational Custom 24 design and asked themselves a smart question: what if we combined this proven platform with the musical versatility that made the Paul's Guitar so compelling?
The answer is those dual mini-toggle switches paired with 85/15 pickups. Here's why this matters: you're not stuck choosing between humbucker power and single-coil clarity anymore. Need that glassy Strat-style tone for clean passages? Flip the toggles. Want crushing humbucker saturation for the heavy sections? You've got it. Both pickups can be switched independently, which means you're looking at genuine tonal flexibility, not just marketing speak.
That Royal Aquamarine Blue Burst over figured maple creates visual impact that photographs beautifully and catches stage lights like liquid fire. But here's what separates this from eye candy - the mahogany body and neck combination provides the sustain and warmth that make those 85/15 pickups really sing.
The Pattern Thin neck shape strikes that sweet spot between comfortable chording and effortless single-note runs, while those Phase III locking tuners keep you in tune through even the most aggressive tremolo work.
This isn't just commemorative gear - it's PRS taking their best ideas from three and a half decades of guitar making and putting them together in one seriously versatile instrument. The result is a guitar that honors the past while serving the needs of today's players.
