The moment you pick up this PRS SE Custom 24 — the rare 35th Anniversary Edition — you immediately get why players chase these models. There’s a kind of quiet confidence to it…the sense that PRS wanted to celebrate something meaningful, and they did it by taking their most iconic design and giving it just that little extra spark that makes you stop and appreciate it.
This one is basically new, the kind of condition where the finish still looks like it rolled out of the factory yesterday. No play wear worth mentioning, no stories, no surprises — just that immaculate PRS presentation that makes you handle it a little more carefully the first time you lift it from the gig bag.
Black Gold Burst never misses, but on this top?
It hits harder. The flame maple dances in the light with a richness that feels deeper and more dimensional than typical SE models — you can tell PRS intentionally chose better tops for this anniversary run. And paired with the cream pickup rings, gold/amber knobs, and that dark wrap around the edges, it’s one of those finishes that feels high-end before you even strum a chord.
And of course, the hallmark of this run:
Those pearl bird inlays.
They’re vibrant, iridescent, and honestly more striking than most SE birds you’ll see. PRS gave this model a little extra flash in all the right places.
As for what makes the 35th Anniversary edition special?
You get the upgraded TCI “S” pickups, a unique switching layout that gives you way more tonal flexibility than a standard SE Custom 24, and the vibe of a limited run — around 3,000 made worldwide, which makes this a guitar people keep their eyes open for. It feels like a nod to the original PRS spirit: versatile, expressive, and built for players who want a guitar that can slip into any genre without hesitation.
The trem feels smooth, the frets are clean, and the whole guitar feels like it’s been waiting for someone to actually start its story. If you want a PRS that looks like art, plays like a dream, and carries that limited-edition charm, this one’s absolutely worth grabbing.
Comes with the PRS gig bag.
