1997 PRS USA Custom 24 Quilt 10 Top McCarty Pickups

Up for serious consideration is a vintage 1997 USA PRS Custom 24 with a premium Quilted Maple 10 Top and original McCarty pickup package.
This Custom 24 has a figure that photographs well but even better in person: deep, three-dimensional quilt with clarity and pull-through clarity that every discerning player and collector wants to see. A genuine 10 Top grade maple, meaning this guitar was graded by PRS as one of the top visual specimens in its run.
The electronics are classic PRS McCarty humbuckers (split coils) in both treble and bass positions, warmer and more dynamic than standard pickups from that era, with the versatility PRS is known for. Whether you’re digging creamy jazz tones, articulate cleans, or saturated overdrive, this guitar delivers with poise.
Playability is vintage PRS smooth with a profile that feels effortless up and down the neck. Everything is original unless otherwise noted. Hardware functions perfectly, frets have life left, and the neck is straight and stable.
INCLUDES
Original PRS spec tag (see photo), matching serial, and original hard case & case candy.
WHY THIS IS SPECIAL
This isn’t a run-of-the-mill used guitar. This is a heritage instrument with collectible spec, robust build quality, and PRS provenance that resonates with players who actually play their instruments, not just display them.
If you want a stellar PRS Custom 24 that turns heads, delivers inspiring tone, and holds value as part of your guitar collection- this is it.
