PRS Wood Library S2 Cust. 24-08 BG: Technical Review

The PRS Wood Library S2 Cust. 24-08 BG is a limited-edition, U.S.-made electric guitar with a 24-fret layout, two TCI humbuckers, and a PRS tremolo. Its Black Gold Burst finish combines a mahogany body with a burl poplar top. Production is limited to 150 pieces worldwide. The listed price is 2,480, and the model is listed as available from September 2026.

The specifications point to a guitar built around familiar PRS design elements, including a set mahogany neck, bird fretboard inlays, locking tuners, and a patented tremolo. The supplied information describes the hardware and controls in useful detail, but it does not include customer feedback or performance measurements. Any assessment of sound, tuning stability, or playability therefore has to remain tied to the listed components rather than claims about hands-on results.

Body, Top, and Finish

The body is mahogany, with a burl poplar top. The top's burl figure provides the visual contrast in the Black Gold Burst finish, while the body and neck use the same wood. The product data does not specify body thickness, weight, contouring, or the finish type, so those details cannot be evaluated from the available information.

The guitar has smoked black hardware, a finish choice that is visually consistent with the dark burst color. Appearance will depend on the actual figure of the burl top, which can vary from instrument to instrument. The stated materials identify the woods, but do not establish how this particular guitar sounds or how its finish will wear over time.

Neck and Fingerboard Dimensions

The set neck is mahogany, with a Pattern Thin profile. Its listed thickness measures 21 mm at the first fret and 23 mm at the 12th fret. Those measurements give a more precise description of the profile than the name alone, although neck shape remains a matter of hand fit and personal preference. The nut measures 42.8 mm wide, and the 635 mm scale length is equivalent to 25 inches.

The rosewood fingerboard has a 254 mm, or 10-inch, radius and 24 frets. Old School Birds inlays mark the fingerboard. Together, these figures define the basic playing surface, but the specifications do not state fret size, fret material, or the factory action. Players comparing this guitar with another instrument should check those setup details in person rather than infer them from the fret count or radius.

Pickups and Switching

Two TCI humbuckers form the pickup system. The control layout consists of separate volume and tone controls, a three-way toggle switch, and two mini-toggle switches. The pickup description confirms a humbucker configuration, but the supplied data does not explain the mini-toggle functions or provide switching diagrams. It also omits pickup output, magnet type, and wiring details.

Those omissions matter when evaluating the range of available sounds. The two humbuckers and three-way selector establish the main pickup arrangement, while the extra switches suggest additional switching options. Without a wiring description, however, it would be speculative to assign specific coil configurations or tonal changes to either mini-toggle. Buyers who need a particular switching setup should confirm its operation with PRS or a retailer.

Tremolo and Hardware

The guitar uses a patented PRS tremolo and PRS Phase III locking machine heads. These are the listed components for pitch adjustment and string tuning. Locking tuners can simplify string changes, but the presence of locking machine heads alone does not establish how well the guitar will hold tuning during tremolo use. Setup, string installation, and playing technique also affect that result.

The tremolo is identified by brand and type, but the supplied specifications do not state its adjustment range or setup. The instrument includes a PRS premium gig bag. A hard case is not included, according to the product listing.

Buying Considerations

The strongest verifiable points are its limited run of 150 instruments, U.S. Manufacture, set mahogany neck, burl poplar top, and detailed neck dimensions. Its controls combine two humbuckers with a three-way selector and two mini-toggles, though the available data leaves the mini-toggle functions unclear. The included gig bag is specified, while a separate case is not.

No customer reviews are available for this model, so there is no basis for reporting owner experiences or consensus on sound and reliability. The listed specifications offer a clear outline of the construction, but an in-person check remains useful for judging the neck feel, weight, setup, finish, and switching behavior. The item number is 651426. The listed sales unit is one piece.
