LEGENDARY 1993 PRS CUSTOM 24 – BLACK BEAUTY WITH VINTAGE BASS & HFS FIREPOWER!
Tone Aficionados and Stage Kings – Your Holy Grail Has Arrived!
Behold the 1993 PRS Custom 24 in midnight black: the year Paul Reed Smith hit peak perfection with carved maple tops, mahogany bodies, and that iconic birds-in-flight inlay. This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a time-capsule of early-90s PRS magic, fully restored to factory spec with the original Vintage Bass and HFS pickups humming exactly as intended. Excellent condition for its age, showing only the faintest whispers of honest play wear – a few tiny dings, hairline surface scratches, and light polish swirls that vanish under stage lights. The original owner briefly explored other voices but wisely returned every factory component. Plug in, and it’s 1993 all over again.
Why This PRS Will Own Every Room You Enter:
- Sound That Breathes and Bites: The Vintage Bass neck pickup delivers thick, vocal PAF-style warmth – think creamy leads that bloom with sustain and cleans that ring like a grand piano. Flip to the HFS bridge for searing, articulate crunch: high-output ceramic punch with glassy harmonics and midrange snarl that cuts through any mix without ever turning brittle. Five-way rotary switching unlocks every shade from jangly split-coil sparkle to full-throated humbucker roar. Dial in sweet overdrive, and notes cascade with 3D separation; push a tube amp, and it sings with harmonic richness that pedals only dream of.
- Playability That Spoils You Forever: The wide-thin neck profile glides under your fingers like warm butter – fast, effortless bends, lightning runs, and chord work that feels telepathically connected. 24 medium-jumbo frets are perfectly crowned and polished, with zero divots. The rock-maple neck and rosewood board provide snap and stability; the patented PRS tremolo stays in tune through dive-bombs and shimmering vibrato. At 7.9 lbs, it balances like an extension of your body, encouraging hours of expressive playing without fatigue.
- Collector-Worthy Looks, Road-Ready Soul: Deep piano-black finish glows under any light, accented by flawless abalone bird inlays and gold hardware that still shines. Light play wear...adds authentic mojo – the kind that tells stories, not scars. Includes original hardshell case, trem arm, and paperwork.
Priced for the Player Who Hears the Difference: Worldwide insured shipping or local hands-on audition. This black 1993 Custom 24 is primed for the spotlight.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s
We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives significantly not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
