PRS Birds Of A Feather Custom 24 B: Technical Review

The PRS Birds Of A Feather Custom 24 B is a U.S.-made electric guitar in the Custom 24 model family. Its listed specifications combine a mahogany body and neck with a figured maple top, an ebony and figured maple fingerboard, two humbucking pickups, and a PRS Gen III tremolo. The finish is Blood Red, and the edition is limited to 120 pieces worldwide in this color.

This assessment is based only on the supplied product information. No customer reviews or independent playing tests are available, so comments about sound, comfort, tuning behavior, or finish quality would go beyond the evidence. The guitar has been listed as available since August 2026. Its item number is 648317, and the stated price is 7555, with no currency specified in the supplied data.

Body, top, and finish

The body is mahogany, topped with "Artist Grade" flamed maple. The maker identifies the color as Blood Red and specifies a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Those details identify the principal woods and finish type, but they do not establish the precise weight, grain appearance of an individual instrument, or how the finish will age. The description also lists the general color as red.

The guitar uses a PRS Custom 24 body shape, categorized in the product data as ST-style. The top's "Artist Grade" label is a stated grade, not a measurable guarantee of a particular flame pattern or figure. No body dimensions or weight are provided, so buyers who need those measurements should confirm them with the seller.

Neck and fingerboard

The neck is mahogany and has a Pattern Thin profile. The scale length is 635 mm, and the fingerboard carries 24 frets. Its listed materials are ebony and figured maple, with Birds Of A Feather inlays. The specifications do not describe fret size, fingerboard radius, nut width, or the exact layout of the maple and ebony. Those details should not be assumed from the material names alone.

The 24-fret layout and the stated scale length define the main dimensions available here, but they do not tell us how the neck will feel in a player's hands. Pattern Thin is the supplied profile name. Without additional measurements or a direct inspection, it is best treated as a model specification rather than a promise of a particular degree of comfort.

Pickups and controls

The pickup configuration is HH, meaning two humbuckers. PRS lists a DMO Treble pickup in the bridge position and a DMO Bass pickup in the neck position. Controls comprise one volume knob, one tone knob, and a five-way blade switch. The supplied information does not include a switching chart, wiring diagram, or output measurements. It therefore confirms the control hardware but not the exact pickup combinations selected at each switch position.

Both pickup names identify their intended positions, but the specifications alone cannot establish their tonal character or how they respond with different amplifiers and settings. There is no basis here for claims about output level, noise, or suitability for a particular style of music.

Tremolo and tuning hardware

The bridge is a PRS Gen III tremolo, described in the general specification list as PRS-style. The tuners are PRS Phase III locking machine heads with wing buttons. Hardware is nickel-finished. These are specific hardware appointments, while practical results such as tuning stability, range of tremolo movement, and ease of string changes would require direct testing. No setup information or string gauge is included in the supplied data.

Edition, case, and buying details

This is a limited edition, capped at 120 pieces per color worldwide. The product information also states that it includes a PRS Black Paisley case. A separate listing field says "Including Case: Yes" and "incl. Bag: No," so the stated package includes a case but not a bag. Sales unit is one piece.

The combination of a flamed maple top, Birds Of A Feather fingerboard inlays, named PRS pickups, locking tuners, and a Gen III tremolo gives buyers a clear specification set to compare against other Custom 24 instruments. However, the supplied information does not establish how this model sounds or plays, nor does it provide measurements such as weight or neck dimensions. Check those points with the seller before purchase if they are decisive for your needs. Its most verifiable distinctions are the Blood Red finish, limited production quantity, specified wood and hardware, and included case.

Scores by area

Where it shines, where it stumbles

What convinced me

  • Limited to 120 pieces worldwide in this color, with a flamed maple top and Birds of Feather fingerboard inlays.
  • Made in the United States with a mahogany body and neck, ebony and flamed maple fingerboard, and nitrocellulose finish.
  • Includes PRS DMO humbuckers, a five-way blade switch, a PRS Gen III tremolo, locking tuners, and a PRS Black Paisley case.

What bugged me

  • The $7,555 price makes it a substantial investment.
  • Its limited production and specialized design may make it less suitable for buyers seeking a readily available, understated guitar.

Is it the right one for you?

Good pick if

A strong fit for collectors seeking a limited PRS, players who value distinctive fingerboard and top details, and guitarists looking for a feature-rich Custom 24. The included case and locking tuners add practical appeal.

Look elsewhere if

Not a fit for buyers with a modest budget or anyone prioritizing a low-cost instrument. Its limited availability may also frustrate shoppers who want an easy-to-find model.
