PRS SE Custom 24 Floyd Rose - Fishman Modern
PRS SE Custom 24 Floyd Rose - Fishman Modern
Now this started life as a great guitar, and now it is a fantastic guitar! The 2 octave classic from PRS is a dream guitar, and the Korean SE version is such amazing value. This one has the set neck and is the Floyd edition, so not for the jazz players out there.
This is a rock monster, make no mistake, and as if the guitar wasn't "rock" enough, this one has been upgraded with a pair of active Fishman Fluence Modern 2 humbuckers, which have the 2 "voice" options available via a push pull tone control. These are well over £200 a set, so that is a tasty upgrade!
Voice 1 (Modern Active High Output): The ideal active ceramic humbucker tone. Crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl. Voice 2 (Modern Passive Attack): Organic, high output, passive ceramic tone. Superb distortion characteristics with Fluence dynamics and response.
There is some buckle scratching on the back by the neck join, but otherwise, it is a clean example with no problems, and plays like a greased thunderbolt!
Here are the official words -
The SE Custom 24 “Floyd” brings the legendary Floyd Rose bridge to PRS’s most-famous model: the Custom 24. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series Tremolo gives players new phrasing options and the confidence to flutter or dive bomb without going out of tune. Additional appointments include a 24 fret, 25” scale length, Wide Thin maple neck, and 85/15 “S” pickups that deliver remarkable clarity and extended high and low end (no mud when you go for the throat!). So dive, bend, play with harmonics, and have fun with the SE Custom 24 “Floyd” guitar...it can take whatever you’ve got.
