PRS Wood Library S2 Custom 24 CB

PRS Wood Library S2 Custom 24 CB review

The PRS Wood Library S2 Custom 24 CB is a U.S.-made, limited-edition electric guitar with a mahogany body, a burl poplar top, and two 85/15 humbuckers. Its Charcoal Burst finish, smoked black hardware, and Old School Birds fingerboard inlays give the specification a distinct visual identity, while the 24-fret layout and PRS tremolo define the main functional features. The listed price is $2,385, and production is limited to 150 pieces worldwide.

This assessment is based on the supplied specifications only. No customer reviews are available, so there is no firsthand report here about sound, setup, finish quality, tuning stability, or playability. The guitar has been listed as available since September 2026.

Body, top, and neck construction

The body is mahogany, paired with a burl poplar top. The product information identifies the neck as mahogany and specifies a set-neck construction. The fingerboard is rosewood. These are material and construction details, not a guarantee of a particular tone or feel; those outcomes depend on the individual instrument, setup, playing style, and amplification.

The Charcoal Burst finish is paired with smoked black hardware. Old School Birds inlays mark the rosewood fingerboard. The listing does not provide details such as body thickness, weight, finish type, or the exact appearance of the burl on any individual guitar, so those points should be checked with a dealer if they affect a purchase decision.

Neck dimensions and playing layout

The neck profile is Pattern Thin, with a stated thickness of 21 mm at the first fret and 23 mm at the twelfth fret. The fingerboard radius is 254 mm, or 10 inches, and the nut width is 42.8 mm, or 1.687 inches. These measurements give a clearer basis for comparing the neck with instruments a player already knows, although they cannot establish whether its shape will suit a particular hand.

The scale length is 635 mm, or 25 inches, and the fingerboard carries 24 frets. That combination supplies two full octaves on each string in the standard layout, while the listed scale and nut measurements help describe the instrument's proportions. The specifications do not identify fret size, neck depth beyond the two stated points, or the factory string gauge.

Pickups and controls

Two PRS 85/15 humbuckers provide the listed pickup configuration. The controls consist of one master volume, one tone control with a push-pull function, and a five-way switch. The supplied data does not describe the switching combinations or specify which pickup functions the push-pull control changes. Buyers who need an exact wiring map should request one from PRS or the seller rather than assume a particular coil-splitting arrangement.

The HH layout indicates two humbuckers, but the pickup label alone does not determine output level, frequency response, or how the guitar will behave through a particular amplifier. No pickup measurements, wiring diagram, or recorded examples are included in the available information. A hands-on assessment of those qualities would require the instrument itself.

Tremolo, tuners, and included bag

The guitar is fitted with a patented PRS tremolo and PRS Phase III locking machine heads. The specification confirms those components but does not give details about tremolo adjustment, bridge setup, tuning performance, or the tuners' operating ratio. Those aspects can vary with setup and use, so the parts list should not be treated as a performance test.

A PRS premium gig bag is included. The listing also states that a case is not included. In practical terms, the supplied carry option is a gig bag, not a hard case. Anyone planning regular air travel or needing a rigid case should confirm compatible case options and their cost before ordering.

Price and buying considerations

At $2,385, the Wood Library S2 Custom 24 CB sits in a purchase category where the limited run, U.S. Manufacture, specified materials, and hardware are relevant points to verify against personal priorities. The edition is capped at 150 worldwide, but the data does not say how many are allocated to a particular retailer or market. Availability and final pricing should therefore be confirmed with the seller.

The specifications describe a mahogany, set-neck guitar with a burl poplar top, rosewood fingerboard, 24 frets, two 85/15 humbuckers, a five-way switch, and a PRS tremolo. That is enough to make an informed shortlist, but not to judge sound, comfort, setup, or finish consistency. For those questions, inspect the specific guitar or arrange a trial when possible. The item number is 651425.
