PRS 40th Custom 24-08 Semi CCB review

The PRS 40th Custom 24-08 Semi CCB is a limited-edition, USA-made semi-hollow electric guitar built around a mahogany body and a figured maple top. Its specification combines familiar Custom 24 elements, including a 24-fret fingerboard and a 635 mm scale, with two TCI humbuckers and dedicated mini-toggle switches for EQ. PRS lists a production run of 75 units and availability beginning in November 2025.

The available information supports a close look at its materials, layout, and hardware, but does not include independent measurements, listening tests, or owner feedback. As a result, claims about its tone, weight, setup, or playing feel would go beyond the evidence. The specifications do, however, give a clear picture of what the instrument offers on paper and which details buyers should verify in person.

Body, top, and finish

The semi-hollow body is made from mahogany, with a figured maple top described as a 10-Top. The listed finish is Charcoal Cherry Burst, while the broader color entry identifies it as a burst. PRS names the guitar's shape as its own PRS shape. The model designation is Custom 24 10Top, and the construction uses a set mahogany neck.

The semi-hollow design is a defining part of the specification, but the supplied details do not state the internal chamber layout, the presence or dimensions of a center block, or the guitar's weight. Those omissions matter to anyone comparing semi-hollow instruments for resonance, feedback behavior, or comfort. The construction label alone cannot settle those questions.

The figured maple top and mahogany body identify the main body materials, while the finish gives the instrument its visual identity. The description does not state the top's thickness or provide a grading explanation for the 10-Top designation. Buyers who care about the particular figure on an individual guitar should inspect that instrument rather than assume every example in the run has an identical pattern.

Neck and fingerboard

The neck is mahogany with a Pattern Thin profile. Its fingerboard is listed as Ziricote, with 24 frets and a 254 mm (10-inch) radius. Old School Birds inlays with outlines provide the specified fretboard markers. The scale length is 635 mm. These measurements describe the layout, but they do not establish neck thickness, fret dimensions, or the quality of the factory setup.

Twenty-four frets give the fingerboard two octaves of fret positions per string, while the stated scale length provides a useful point of comparison with other guitars. PRS does not give details here about fret material, nut width, or string action. Players who have strong preferences on those points should check a specific example before buying.

Pickups and switching

The guitar uses two TCI humbuckers, one in the neck position and one at the bridge. The control layout consists of one volume control, one tone control, a three-way toggle switch, and two mini-toggle switches described as EQ controls. That is a compact control set for a guitar with multiple pickup positions and additional switching.

The supplied data does not explain the exact EQ functions, the available settings, or how those mini-toggles interact with the pickup selector. It also provides no frequency response, output measurements, or audio samples. The TCI name and pickup type identify the hardware category, but they are not enough to predict how the guitar will sound through a particular amplifier or recording chain.

Hardware, price, and availability

PRS Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons are fitted, along with PRS tremolo hardware and a hybrid hardware finish. The listed strings are PRS Signature 10-46. A case is included; a gig bag is not. The sales unit is one guitar, and its item number is 630106.

The listed price is 6,099, with no currency specified in the supplied information. Availability is given as November 2025, and the limited run is capped at 75 guitars. That production limit makes this a restricted release by specification, though no information is provided about regional allocation, current stock, or resale pricing.

Technical assessment

On paper, the PRS 40th Custom 24-08 Semi CCB brings together a semi-hollow mahogany body, a figured maple 10-Top, a Ziricote fingerboard, and a two-humbucker control system with added EQ switching. The 24-fret layout, 635 mm scale, Pattern Thin neck, locking tuners, and included case round out the documented package.

The strongest conclusion available is about specification, not performance. There are no customer reviews or test results in the supplied material, so sound, sustain, tuning stability, balance, and workmanship cannot be independently assessed here. At 6,099 and with only 75 listed for production, prospective buyers should confirm the price currency, inspect the actual finish and top, and test the switching and setup before committing.
