PRS 40th Anniv. Custom 24 SuZ #2

PRS 40th Anniv. Custom 24 SuZ #2 review

The PRS 40th Anniv. Custom 24 SuZ #2 is a limited-edition, U.S.-made electric guitar built around the Custom 24 format. Its listed specifications combine a mahogany body and neck, a flamed maple top, a ziricote fingerboard, two humbucking pickups, and a PRS-style tremolo. Production is limited to 200 units. The model is listed as available since November 2025, with item number 630115 and a stated price of 6099. No currency is specified in the supplied information.

This review is based only on the published specifications. No customer reviews or hands-on observations are available, so details such as weight, acoustic response, setup quality, tuning stability in use, and tonal character cannot be verified here. The construction and control layout can be assessed on paper, but they do not establish how an individual instrument will feel or sound.

Construction and playing dimensions

The body is mahogany, topped with "Artist Grade" flamed maple. The neck is also mahogany, and the fingerboard is listed as ziricote. The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer in Sub Zero. These are specific material and finish choices, but the supplied data does not give body weight, top thickness, neck dimensions, or finish thickness. It would be unwise to infer a particular balance or resonance from the wood list alone.

The 635 mm scale length is approximately 25 inches, and the fingerboard has 24 frets. The neck profile is Pattern Thin. Together, those figures describe the core geometry, although they do not tell us the fret size, fingerboard radius, nut width, or string spacing. Buyers who rely on those measurements should confirm them with PRS or the retailer before ordering.

Old School bird inlays with contours mark the fingerboard. That is a stated visual detail rather than a performance specification. The Sub Zero finish, flamed maple top, and shaped inlays give the instrument a defined anniversary-edition appearance, though the source does not specify how the finish varies from one guitar to another.

Pickups and controls

The guitar uses one PRS DMO Treble humbucker at the bridge and one PRS DMO Bass humbucker at the neck. The listed controls are a single volume control, a single tone control, and a five-way blade switch. This provides a straightforward control scheme with five switch positions, but the supplied specifications do not describe the wiring of each position. They also do not state whether the switching splits coils or combines pickup signals in particular ways. Those details should be checked in the official wiring documentation rather than assumed from the switch count.

The pickup names identify the two units and their positions, but no output measurements, magnet type, or manufacturer tone descriptions are provided. As a result, this review cannot make a reliable claim about output level, clarity, or the difference between the bridge and neck sounds. Players comparing this model with another Custom 24 should seek a demonstration or verify the circuit details directly.

Tremolo and other hardware

A PRS Gen III tremolo is specified, along with PRS Phase III locking machine heads with wing buttons. The bridge and tuners are therefore identified by model family, while the remaining hardware is described as nickel. These features establish the hardware configuration, but they do not guarantee a particular level of tuning stability. String choice, setup, playing technique, and the condition of an individual instrument can all affect performance.

The guitar includes a PRS ATA D1 case and a 40th Anniversary certificate. A case is included, while a separate bag is not. For a limited-run instrument, the case and certificate are useful inventory details to confirm at purchase, especially if the guitar is being shipped or bought secondhand.

Verdict based on the specifications

The PRS 40th Anniv. Custom 24 SuZ #2 is specified as a 24-fret, 635 mm-scale instrument with mahogany construction, a flamed maple top, ziricote fingerboard, two PRS DMO humbuckers, and a Gen III tremolo. Its limited run of 200 and anniversary markings distinguish it from a standard specification listing. The available information supports a clear description of its materials and hardware, but not a judgment about its sound, comfort, build consistency, or value in use.

At the stated price of 6099, prospective buyers should confirm the currency, current availability, and exact switching functions with the seller. They should also inspect the instrument or request detailed photos and measurements if neck feel, weight, or finish consistency is a deciding factor. With those points left open, this is best viewed as a technically specified limited edition whose appeal depends on its anniversary design and listed component choices, rather than on unverified performance claims.
