PRS Custom 24 Sprayer's Choice | Blue Green Sparkle Dragon's Breath

The PRS Custom 24 is the guitar that started it all, and this Sprayer's Choice build pushes that platform further. Built around a quilt maple top with a natural mahogany back and ebony appointments, it pairs the most familiar guitar in the PRS catalog with a finish that has no business showing up on anything but a Private Stock instrument.

Dragon's Breath is one of the most demanding finishes PRS produces; reserved for Private Stock builds where the color-shifting gradient can be executed with total control. Layering it onto a Sprayer's Choice guitar means the PRS finishing team worked without a template, without a formula, and without the safety net of a repeatable process. The result is not supposed to exist at this level. It does.

The top carries the Dragon's Breath gradient as a wake running up the center, blue pulling into vivid emerald as it moves toward the neck, rather than a traditional burst worked in from the edges. It looks more like cutting through water than a burst applied around the perimeter. Under it, a holographic flake throws color the moment the guitar catches light. Against the natural mahogany back and neck, the whole instrument looks incredible.

The rest of the guitar delivers exactly what a Custom 24 should. The Pattern Thin mahogany neck feels fast and immediate, the ebony fretboard and matching headstock veneer add a dark, glassy look and feel, and the Korean Awabi Old School Birds sit into that ebony with a shimmer that standard mother-of-pearl does not have. The DMO pickups stay clear and articulate from clean to high gain. We have never seen a Dragon's Breath finish leave the building on anything but Private Stock.
