PRS Custom 24 Faded Indigo Quilt Artist Top Awabi Birds
One of the Most Exclusive Custom 24 Models Ever Built
The PRS Custom 24 Faded Indigo Quilt Artist Top Awabi Birds represents everything that made PRS famous, elevated by a collection of highly desirable options that are no longer available and rarely seen together on a single instrument.
At its core, this is the legendary Custom 24 — the guitar that launched PRS Guitars and has remained the company's flagship model for nearly four decades. But this particular example stands apart thanks to its breathtaking Artist Package Quilt Maple Top, stunning Awabi Bird inlays, and an exceptionally beautiful Faded Indigo finish that rivals many Private Stock instruments in appearance.
The centerpiece of this guitar is its hand-selected Artist Grade Quilted Maple Top. These tops were reserved for PRS's highest-tier production instruments and were selected from the finest figured maple available. The depth, movement, and three-dimensional appearance exceed even many traditional 10-Tops. Since Artist Package options are no longer offered in this form, guitars like this have become increasingly collectible and difficult to find.
Adding even more exclusivity are the magnificent Awabi Bird inlays. Crafted from premium abalone shell, these iconic PRS birds display brilliant flashes of blue, green, purple, and gold depending on the viewing angle. Historically reserved for PRS's most prestigious instruments, they elevate the visual appeal far beyond standard bird inlays.
The rare Faded Indigo finish perfectly highlights the dramatic quilt figuring, creating incredible depth and movement under stage lights. The result is a visual presentation remarkably close to many Private Stock guitars.
Tonally, the guitar is equipped with PRS's latest DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) pickups, developed personally by Paul Reed Smith and the PRS engineering team. These pickups deliver exceptional clarity, vocal-like character, wide frequency response, and outstanding dynamics, making the instrument equally at home in the studio, on stage, or in a high-end collection.
For players and collectors seeking a truly exceptional Custom 24, this is one of those rare instruments that simply does not appear often.
