Our versatile and intuitive "24-08" switching system has been around since 2011, and was first seen on the Private Stock Signature Limited model. Since then, the 24-08 switching has made its way to our Core (Custom 24-08) and SE Series (SE Custom 24-08).
For 2022, it can now be found on two brand new models: the S2 Custom 24-08 and SE Standard 24-08. Pairing a volume, tone, and 3-way toggle pickup switch with two mini-toggle coil-split switches, 24-08 models offer humbucking and true single-coil tones in one instrument. With this set up, players can remove one of the coils from each humbucker’s circuit, leaving the second coil fully active with the flick of a switch.
“It’s not so easy to get eight musical, usable pickup settings in one guitar, but there is something special this system that stands out. Being able to go from full humbuckers to the crisp clarity of single coils and having all the in between sounds brings a lot to these instruments.” - Paul Reed Smith
The PRS SE Standard 24-08 is a mahogany-body workhorse guitar with powerful humbucking and true single-coil tones in one instrument. Its PRS TCI “S” pickups are paired with a 3-way toggle switch and two mini-toggle coil split switches that individually split the humbuckers into true single coils for a total of eight pickup configurations. Players can enjoy two full octaves thanks to the 24-fret, 25” scale length rosewood fretboard and wide thin maple neck, and the PRS patented, molded tremolo gives players added flexibility and control over their playing. With sonic range and rock-solid reliability, the PRS SE Standard 24-08 will keep you playing without compromise.
The PRS S2 Custom 24-08 shares many of the same specifications as the S2 Custom 24 but adds a new level of versatility with its intuitive switching system. The platform for this guitar is a maple top, mahogany back and neck, and rosewood fretboard with bird inlays. It boasts 24 frets, a 25” scale length, and a Pattern Thin neck. The 85/15 “S” pickups are paired with a 3-way toggle switch and two mini-toggle coil split switches that individually split the humbuckers into true single coils for a total of eight pickup configurations.
