PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24 SuZ

PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24 SuZ review

The PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24 SuZ is a United States-made, limited-edition electric guitar built around the Custom 24 format. Its listed price is $6,099, and the production run is limited to 200 instruments. The model became available in November 2025. The specifications describe a mahogany body and neck, a figured maple top, a ziricote fingerboard, two PRS DMO pickups, and a PRS Gen III tremolo.

There are no customer reviews available for this product. This assessment therefore focuses on the published specifications rather than reported playing impressions or independent measurements. The listed item number is 630512, and the finish color is Sub Zero.

Body, top, and neck construction

The body is mahogany, paired with an "Artist Grade" flamed maple top. The specification gives no body thickness, top-carving dimensions, weight, or grain-selection criteria, so those details cannot be assessed from the available information. The ST-style body shape identifies the general outline, while the anniversary designation and finish distinguish this edition within the Custom 24 range.

The neck is also mahogany and uses PRS's Pattern Thin profile. The guitar has a 635 mm scale length, equivalent to 25 inches, and 24 frets. That combination provides the core layout of a two-octave electric guitar, with the manufacturer's thinner neck profile specified for this model. Neck width, fret material, fret dimensions, and fingerboard radius are not listed, so buyers should confirm those measurements if they are important to fit or setup.

The fingerboard is identified as ziricote in the general specifications. The detailed description spells the wood name "Zirikote," a discrepancy in the supplied information. The model also has outlined Old School bird inlays. No further information is provided about the inlay materials or the fingerboard's finish.

Pickups and controls

The pickup layout is HH, with one PRS DMO Treble pickup at the bridge and one PRS DMO Bass pickup at the neck. A single volume control and a single tone control provide the main adjustments. Pickup selection is handled by a five-way blade switch.

The published specifications do not describe the exact switching combinations, coil configurations, or electrical values of the controls. As a result, the five-way switch should not be taken as proof of any particular split-coil or phase options without a wiring diagram. The pickup names and positions are confirmed, but detailed output readings and frequency-response data are not supplied.

Tremolo and hardware

Vibrato duties are handled by a PRS Gen III tremolo, described in the general specifications as PRS-style. The tuning machines are PRS Phase III locking models with wing buttons. Hardware is nickel. The source does not provide details such as bridge adjustment range, tremolo setup, string gauge, or the locking tuners' operating instructions.

Those components give the guitar a specified locking-tuner and tremolo arrangement, but the product information does not include stability testing or setup results. Buyers who depend on a particular tremolo feel or tuning behavior will need to evaluate the instrument in person or consult PRS for setup-specific details.

Finish, case, and package

The finish is nitrocellulose lacquer in Sub Zero. The package includes a PRS ATA D1 case and a 40th Anniversary certificate. Although the general listing says that a bag is not included, it confirms that a case is included. The guitar is made in the United States.

The finish specification identifies the lacquer type but does not describe its gloss level, aging characteristics, or care requirements. Likewise, the included case is identified by model, but the supplied information does not state its dimensions or accessory storage capacity.

Technical verdict

The PRS 40th Anniversary Custom 24 SuZ is specified as a limited Custom 24 with a clear set of premium-model components: mahogany construction, an "Artist Grade" flamed maple top, a Pattern Thin neck, two model-specific PRS DMO pickups, locking tuners, and the Gen III tremolo. Its 24-fret layout, five-way selector, and 635 mm scale are documented, while several practical details, including weight, fretboard radius, switching functions, and setup, remain unspecified.

At $6,099, the purchase decision will depend on the appeal of this anniversary edition, its Sub Zero finish, and the included case and certificate. With no customer feedback available, there is no basis here for claims about sound, comfort, tuning stability, or finish quality in use. The specification sheet supports a technical overview, not a substitute for playing the guitar or checking the exact instrument before purchase.
