I love my 2018 PRS Custom 24. Its an amazing instrument and its been my 'dream' guitar since I saw my first one in the late 80's. Its taken me many years to be in a position to by the Core version and its worth the wait....
I moved house, I’m lucky to have a few guitars... the Custom 24 was the only one still in tune, they are bulletproof. Jack you are one great presenter and player. Nice job.
Great demo and beautifully presented Jack, I didn't know Alan & John owned an original '85 I'd love to see it but I can't come to the store without leaving with one of the semi-hollows!
I believe position 2 and 4 are parallel outter coils and parallel inner coils respectively. Position 3 is series inner coils I think. Position 2 on the newer Custom 24's have full bridge and one coil of the neck HB.
Great interesting video and your playing is fantastic. Fortunate to have a 30th Anniversary and a P245, would love to see a review of the new Paul’s Guitar.
I had an 87 jade green custom 24 and Also 1999 custom 24. Both were very nice but I prefer the mccarty 594 single cuts. The single cuts always sounded more open and like a Les paul light. Not heavy enough for me. That's a nice 85 there.
Anyone else not sure about the 85/15 TCI pickups? It might take some time playing with them but as of right now the 58/15LTs in my 594 artist with rosewood neck/ebony fret board is more my taste. Also the Metal pickups in my custom 24 floyd is more versatile to me. With the volume and tone adjustments the Metals are really great. I've only had the custom 24-08 for a few weeks now but I'm not sure how it fits in my collection. I guess I'm a P-90, classic gibson PAFs, fender tele, strat Poblano Anchos, and even black winters really do it for me. I'm thinking of switching pickups to Thornebuckers in the 24-08. I love the look and feel of PRS. I love the 594. I would put the metals in but then the Flyod and 24-08 would be too close in sound. Anyway just wondering if anyone else swapped out their 85/15 pickups and what they went with for what styles.
Those 80's prs are much better in everything compared to the new versions, Paul and the company has gone into to much experiments. Your eq on the amp has to much mids, that why it sounds so bright. That's the problem that i have with people that play these prs with standard treble and bass pickups, they say that it's bright eq the amp and you'll see the difference in tone and the way It sounds, that led to prs discontinue these awesome pickups, a Big example are the phase 1 locking tuners, they stopped making them cause people didn't know how to use them.

This channel knows how to do a guitar showcase. The PRS Custom 24 is a wonderful instrument. Mine will be with me till the end.
Dude!! Sounds amazing! And of course - amazing playing!
One of the best and most creative players on RUclips

Great vid.great guitar.the 85 sounded just as good.
I am a big PRS fan as I own 7! Great video!
which ones ? I have three CE-24's and two new CE-24-08.
This was a fantastic demonstration of a fantastic guitar
Great playing Jack and great comparison review. Really enjoyed it.
This guy has the great hairline
I wish him years of the full hairline
Pro tip : watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
@Cade Arturo Yup, I've been using flixzone for years myself :D

Love the Prs sunburst guitar. I wish I had one.

Nice guitar playing, Eric Foreman!
If I am a jazz-funk and blues guitarist, your personal opinion, which guitar does custom 24 or ce 24 do best for me? Thank you!
You got some chops young man!

@Second Amendment I will. I'm starting to like them more now. Thanks
what finish is that yellow one?
Mccarthy Sunburst
Really miss the HFS and Vintage bass pickups combo. That had the best tone!
Those pickups are crap, compared to standard T&B pickups
Would love to see the 509 next
That 1985 model might be the best-looking PRS I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible.
what amp are you playing it through?
A Mesa boogie triple crown 50
Dope!
I think the pickup selection is a little different than the five way blade.
12 minutes in I'm reminded of Eddie Van Halen on the first pickup.
PRS 509 next
Sat here with mine plugged into my axe fx ....hummmm delicious
The new one is better ,
PRS only changes a guitar if can improve it
Lovely guitars until you damage the neck, as PRS do not replace necks, and only repair in the US.
