Source: prsguitars.com (verified 2026-08-01) · corroborated by guitarcenter.com. PRS's own official spec table for the base SE Custom 24 (prsguitars.com/electrics/model/se_custom_24) lists verbatim: Body Construction Solidbody, Top Wood Maple with Flame Maple veneer, Back Wood Mahogany, Top Carve Shallow Violin, Number of Frets 24, Scale Length 25", Neck Wood Maple with Wide Thin shape, Fretboard Wood Rosewood with Bird inlays, Bridge "PRS Patented Tremolo", and Treble/Bass Pickup "85/15 'S'" (i.e. an HH pair). PRS's site does not publish a USD price (it resolves to the EU storefront for automated fetches), so price was corroborated via an archived Guitar Center listing for the identical model (Sapphire finish) showing "salePrice":"789.0" / "$789.00". No fetched page stated an actual instrument weight, so weight_lb is left null. Image is PRS's own CDN-served hero photo for this model, confirmed to load directly (200 OK, image/jpeg).
