PRS 40th Custom 24-08 Semi TCB review

The PRS 40th Custom 24-08 Semi TCB is a limited-edition, U.S.-made semi-hollow electric guitar with a mahogany body, a figured maple top, and two TCI humbuckers. Its listed price is 6,099, and the stated limited run is 75. Those details place it in a premium, small-production category, but the supplied specifications do not include customer reviews or playing impressions. This assessment therefore focuses on what the design and hardware establish, rather than claiming how the guitar sounds or feels in use.

The model is listed as available since November 2025. It comes with a case, and no gig bag is included. The item number is 630107. Its Charcoal Tri-Color Burst finish pairs with the figured maple top, while the semi-hollow construction distinguishes it from a solid-body Custom 24 configuration. The specifications do not describe the internal cavity layout or the guitar's weight, so those details cannot be assessed here.

Body, neck, and fingerboard

The body and set neck are mahogany, with a figured maple top identified as a 10-Top. The neck has PRS's Pattern Thin profile. That name identifies the specified neck shape, but the available information does not provide measurements such as nut width or neck depth. Buyers who need those dimensions should confirm them with the seller or manufacturer.

The ziricote fingerboard carries 24 frets and outlined Old School Birds inlays. Its stated radius is 254 mm, or 10 inches, and the scale length is 635 mm, or 25 inches. Together, these figures define the basic fretboard geometry, but they do not by themselves establish how the neck will suit a particular player. The listed fret material and fret dimensions are not provided.

The 10-Top designation and figured maple description specify the top's grade and appearance category, while Charcoal Tri-Color Burst identifies the finish. The supplied information does not state whether the finish is gloss or satin, or give details about binding. Those omissions matter for anyone comparing the guitar against another instrument on exact cosmetic or construction details.

Pickups and controls

The electronics use two TCI humbuckers, one in the neck position and one at the bridge. Controls include a master volume and tone, a three-way toggle switch, and two mini-toggle switches described as EQ switches. The model name includes "24-08," and the listing identifies the two mini toggles as part of the control layout. However, it does not explain their precise operating modes or provide a switching diagram. It would be unwise to infer specific coil combinations or tonal options beyond what is stated.

This setup offers more switching controls than a basic two-pickup guitar with a three-way selector alone. The actual range of sounds, output level, and noise performance cannot be determined from the component list. No frequency response, pickup output figures, wiring details, or recorded examples are included in the supplied data. Players considering the guitar for a particular style should look for a manufacturer wiring diagram or try the instrument directly where possible.

Hardware and included items

The guitar has a PRS tremolo and PRS Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons. Its hardware is described as hybrid, but the specification does not identify the finish or the individual hardware materials. The strings are PRS Signature 10-46. Locking tuners and a tremolo are clearly specified; details such as the bridge's adjustment range and the tuners' gear ratio are not.

  • Body: Mahogany, semi-hollow construction
  • Top: Figured maple, designated 10-Top
  • Neck: Set mahogany neck with Pattern Thin profile
  • Fingerboard: Ziricote, 10-inch radius, 24 frets
  • Scale: 25 inches
  • Electronics: Two TCI humbuckers, volume, tone, three-way toggle, and two EQ mini toggles
  • Hardware: PRS tremolo and Phase III locking tuners
  • Included: Case; no gig bag

Who the specifications may suit

The listed combination will interest players looking for a semi-hollow PRS with a figured maple top, a mahogany set neck, and a two-humbucker layout. The 24-fret fingerboard and 25-inch scale provide useful reference points for comparisons with other guitars. The limited run of 75 also makes the production quantity a central part of the purchase decision, though the specifications do not establish future availability or resale value.

At 6,099, this is a substantial purchase. The provided data do not state the guitar's weight, setup, country-specific pricing terms, or whether the price includes taxes. Those are practical items to verify before ordering. There is also no customer feedback available for this product, so no user consensus can be reported about tuning stability, comfort, finish quality, or tone.

Verdict

The PRS 40th Custom 24-08 Semi TCB is defined by its semi-hollow mahogany body, figured 10-Top maple, ziricote fingerboard, TCI humbuckers, and PRS tremolo hardware. Its stated controls point to a configurable two-pickup design, although the exact switching functions are not documented in the supplied specifications. With a 75-piece limited run, an included case, and a listed price of 6,099, the key decision is whether these specific materials, appointments, and limited production match a buyer's needs. A hands-on evaluation and confirmation of the missing technical details would be prudent before purchase.

Where it shines, where it stumbles

What convinced me

  • Limited run of 75, with a figured maple top and outlined Old School Birds inlays.
  • Semi-hollow mahogany body, mahogany neck, and 24 frets.
  • Two TCI humbuckers, two EQ mini-toggle switches, and a PRS tremolo.

What bugged me

  • The listed price of 6099 makes it a substantial purchase.
  • The specifications do not describe the exact tonal range of the EQ switches.

Is it the right one for you?

Good pick if

A strong fit for players seeking a limited-run, semi-hollow PRS with two humbuckers and flexible switching. Also suited to buyers who value figured maple, distinctive inlays, and an included case.

Look elsewhere if

Less suitable for buyers prioritizing a lower purchase price or a gig bag. Consider another model if you need confirmed tonal details beyond the listed pickup and EQ controls.
