Private Stock Elegance Arrives on the PRS Core Series
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the PRS Custom 24 "Birds of a Feather" Limited Edition in Charcoal Microburst. Strictly limited to just 360 pieces worldwide for 2026, this collector-grade instrument brings one of PRS's most coveted aesthetic milestones to the Core Series for the first time in history.
Originally designed ten years ago by Paul Miles (Director of Manufacturing and Head of Private Stock), the "Birds of a Feather" inlay was previously reserved exclusively for elite Private Stock builds. By seamlessly cascading contrasting cutouts between a dark ebony board and a pale figured maple section, the design creates an unmistakable sense of motion and depth across the fretboard. Paired with a smoldering Charcoal Microburst nitrocellulose finish over an Artist Grade figured maple top, this instrument is a breathtaking centerpiece for the stage, studio, or private vault.
- Tone Profile: Dynamic, open, and articulate with broad frequency extension. Crisp top-end snap balanced by warm mahogany depth.
- Best For: Session musicians, high-end collectors, and discerning performers seeking maximum tonal versatility with heirloom-quality artistry.
- Compared To: Standard Core Custom 24s, this limited run upgrades to Artist Grade top wood, nitro finish, and Private Stock-derived fretboard craftsmanship.
Dynamic DMO Pickups & Gen III Hardware
The tone is driven by a calibrated set of PRS DMO (Dynamic, Musical, Open) pickups. Engineered for exceptional clarity and vocal response, these pickups respond effortlessly to volume adjustments and pick dynamics. A 5-way blade switch unlocks full humbucking authority alongside sweet, bell-like single-coil expressions.
Underneath, the patented PRS Gen III Tremolo and lightweight Phase III Locking Tuners with Wing Buttons maximize string energy transfer, delivering superior sustain and rock-solid tuning stability.
