PRS Custom 24 "Birds of a Feather" Blood Red Natural Back & Binding Artist Top Limited Edition 1 Of 360

PRS Custom 24 “Birds of a Feather” Limited Edition 2026 – Blood Red

The PRS Custom 24 “Birds of a Feather” Limited Edition 2026 brings together the legendary versatility of the Custom 24, an exclusive Private Stock-inspired inlay design and the unmistakable craftsmanship of PRS.

Limited to just 360 instruments worldwide in 2026, this special edition introduces the Birds of a Feather inlay to the Custom 24 platform. Previously available exclusively through PRS Private Stock, this distinctive design now becomes the centrepiece of a highly collectible limited-edition model.

Birds of a Feather – a distinctive work of art

The Birds of a Feather inlay was originally designed around ten years ago by Paul Miles, PRS Director of Manufacturing and head of Private Stock.

His vision was to create a fresh interpretation of the iconic PRS bird inlays: something immediately recognisable from across a room or on stage, yet unmistakably unique to PRS.

Rather than relying on conventional bird shapes, the design combines different natural woods to create a sense of movement, depth and space. It represents an innovative approach to fingerboard inlay work, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that have become hallmarks of PRS.

“I wanted to design an inlay that was simple and easy to read from across the room or on a stage but was also uniquely PRS. For me, this was a new way of looking at inlay design, using the woods to create movement and space.” — Paul Miles

Set against the contrasting Ebony and Figured Maple fingerboard, the Birds of a Feather inlay gives this Custom 24 a truly distinctive visual identity.

The legendary Custom 24 foundation

At its heart, this limited edition retains everything that has made the PRS Custom 24 one of the most respected electric guitars in the world.

The Artist Grade Figured Maple top features the signature PRS Violin carve and is paired with a Mahogany back, providing the classic tonal foundation associated with the Custom 24: rich mids, a tight low end, articulate attack and excellent sustain.

The one-piece Mahogany neck features the comfortable and fast Pattern Thin profile. Combined with a 25" scale length, 24 frets and a 10" fingerboard radius, it offers outstanding playability across the entire neck — equally suited to expressive rhythm work, intricate passages and demanding lead playing.

Dynamic and versatile PRS DMO pickups

A pair of PRS DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) humbuckers delivers a balanced, open and articulate sound with a distinctive vocal quality.

The five-way blade switch provides an extensive tonal palette, ranging from powerful, full-bodied humbucker tones to more open and transparent single-coil-inspired sounds.

This versatility makes the Custom 24 an exceptionally adaptable instrument, equally at home in classic rock, blues, alternative rock, progressive music and heavier modern styles.

Premium PRS hardware

The guitar features the patented PRS Gen III Tremolo, engineered for smooth operation, excellent tuning stability and efficient transfer of string vibration.

The PRS Phase III Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons combine modern locking technology with classic PRS styling. Their lightweight construction promotes tonal transfer and resonance while providing reliable tuning performance.

The instrument is completed with nickel hardware and a High-Gloss Nitro finish.

A limited edition worth owning

Only 360 PRS Custom 24 “Birds of a Feather” Limited Edition guitars will be produced worldwide in 2026.

More than a commemorative version of an iconic model, this edition brings an exclusive design previously reserved for Private Stock instruments to the celebrated Custom 24 platform.

It is equally at home on a professional stage, in the recording studio or as a centrepiece in a serious PRS collection. For players and collectors alike, it represents a rare opportunity to own a Custom 24 with a genuinely distinctive story and an inlay design unlike anything in the regular production lineup.

The PRS Custom 24 “Birds of a Feather” Limited Edition 2026 is timeless PRS performance with a unique artistic identity — created for players who appreciate exceptional tone, effortless playability and outstanding craftsmanship.
