PRS Standard 24 Satin

The PRS Standard harkens back to Paul Reed Smith’s pre-factory all-mahogany guitars. Its all-mahogany construction promotes a warm, full, midrange forward tone, and its “sinky” satin nitro finish brings a stripped-down look and roadworthy feel to the instrument.

The PRS Standard 24 features many classic PRS specifications, including a 25” scale length, Pattern Thin neck with a 24-fret, 10” radius rosewood fretboard, PRS Patented Tremolo, and PRS Phase III tuners with unplated brass shafts.

PRS Swamp Ash Special

The PRS Swamp Ash Special brings a unique look and sound to the PRS Bolt-On line up. Its swamp ash body is equipped with a versatile hum/“single”/hum pickup configuration. Two 58/15 LT pickups flank a PRS Narrowfield in the middle position, which adds a single-coil bite – without the hum. Paired with a volume, tone, 5-way blade switch, and dual mini-toggle coil-tap switches (for the first time on this model), the Swamp Ash Special has a total of twelve sound combinations. Roll back the tone control for added growl, turn it up for some shimmer, and have fun exploring this versatile tonal palette.

A PRS Swamp Ash Special is also available with a maple fretboard! Additional specifications for the Swamp Ash Special Maple include a 22-fret 25” scale length maple neck, maple fretboard for an added bright touch, Phase III locking tuners with unplated brass shafts, and the PRS Gen III patented tremolo.
