PRS SE Custom 24 Flat Top – “Transparent Ruby” Finish (Pre-2012)

Used, Great Condition, Big Tone (with Upgrades)

Here’s a PRS with real character and real chops. This pre-2012 PRS SE Custom 24 in Transparent Ruby puts the flame maple top on full display, with maple binding and a flat top that sets it apart from its modern siblings. Unlike newer SE Custom 24s, this one features moon inlays (instead of birds) and no coil-tap, keeping it clean and focused.
With its set neck, upgraded pickups, and pro setup behind it, this guitar is ready to shred, sing, and do everything in between.

Upgrades & Mods (Value-Added):

• Changed from stock pickups to Gibson ’57 Classics – big tone upgrade

• Original tuning keys swapped for locking tuners for better stability and quicker changes

• Professionally inspected by our in-house luthiers → structurally rock solid

• Weighs approx. 7.4 lbs – light enough to move, heavy enough to sustain

Condition & Details:

• Finish: Transparent Ruby with stunning maple flame top

• Body/Neck: Flat top (pre-2012 Korean-built)

• Inlays: Moon

• Wear: Lots of genuine road time visible (dings, dents, scars) — but frets are in excellent condition, ready to play as hard as you want

• The guitar plays beautifully… from lead runs to rhythm grooves, this one delivers

Features:

• Set-neck construction (PRS SE flat-top Korean build)

• Mahogany body with maple top & binding

• Locking tuners for rock-ready tuning stability

• Gibson ’57 Classic humbuckers – warm yet articulate

• Flat top version: unique feel, vintage flair

• Truly a “one guitar that does plenty” kind of instrument

Why this one’s worth your attention:
You’ll see SE Custom 24s listed all the time, but few come with this combination of finish, upgrades, and player-ready condition. If you want a solid guitar that looks sharp, plays smoothly, and gives you pro tone without paying pro prices — this is the one.
