PRS SE Custom 24 Quilt 2024 - Present Charcoal Black

I’ve handled a lot of PRS SE Customs over the years—and every now and then one comes through that just feels a step above the rest. This 2024 PRS SE Custom 24 Quilt in Charcoal Black is one of those. This particular one has a top that immediately stands out—deep, smoky, almost storm-like figuring that gives it a completely different vibe than the typical brighter quilt finishes. It leans darker, more aggressive, and honestly just looks mean in the best way.

The quilted maple top on this one has a ton of movement, especially in the charcoal finish. It’s not overly flashy—it’s more subtle and dimensional, the kind of figuring that reveals itself as the light shifts across it. Paired with the matching headstock, it pulls everything together into a really cohesive, high-end look that you don’t always get at the SE level.

Condition-wise, this one is in excellent shape. There are only minimal signs of wear, and even the protective plastic is still on the back covers, which tells you how well it’s been treated. The frets are in great condition, and it’s been given a proper setup, so it plays exactly how a Custom 24 should—fast, articulate, and super comfortable across the board.

One of the things that stood out right away is the feel of the neck. It still has that PRS gloss, but it’s been played just enough to take away that sticky, brand-new feel. It lands right in that sweet spot—smooth, broken-in, and fast without feeling worn down. That’s honestly where these guitars shine, and this one hits it perfectly.

Tone-wise, you’re getting everything you’d expect out of a Custom 24 platform—clear, versatile, and responsive. It handles cleans effortlessly but also takes gain really well without getting muddy. It’s the kind of guitar that adapts to whatever you throw at it, whether you’re just noodling at home or pushing it through a full rig.

What stood out to me

• The charcoal quilt top—dark, moody, and way more unique than typical SE finishes
• The matching headstock really elevates the overall look
• Neck feel is dialed—glossy but naturally broken-in and fast

Like all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.

⏳ Quick note
These guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 1–5 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!
