PRS S2 Custom 24 Electric Guitar, Metallic Red Finish

If you're looking for a cool-looking guitar that plays really well but doesn't cost as much as top-of-the-line models, the PRS S2 Custom 24 in Metallic Red is a great option. It's made in the USA, has the same shape as the famous PRS Custom 24, and lets you play lots of different sounds with just one guitar.

What’s Special About the S2 Custom 24?

The S2 Custom 24 sits in the middle of PRS’s lineup. It’s better than beginner models but not as expensive as the top Core models. You still get great materials, strong hardware, and that awesome PRS sound.

This Metallic Red version has a bright, shiny red finish that’s rare you won’t find it in the latest PRS catalogue, so it's something a bit unique.

• Back: Mahogany wood

The maple and mahogany combination gives you a warm, full sound with a bit of brightness. It’s great for many music styles.
