"I think this kind of quality is what PRS stands for, I am so happy that I have this in my collection." Ibe states after gracing viewers with a lovely rendition of Leo Sayer's When I Need You.

The Custom 24 is the quintessential PRS guitar that started it all back in 1985. The PRS SE Custom 24-08 features two mini-toggle coil tap switches, as well as a maple top, mahogany back, rosewood fretboard, 24 frets, 25” scale length, and PRS patented tremolo. It also comes in a beautiful Eriza Verde finish.

Regarding pickup tone, Ibe describes it as clear and warm, stating "These pickups are PRS's TCI "S" (series). I love them because they're very clear, warm, round and full."

Ibe goes on to showcase the neck pickup in single-coil position, both pickups in humbucker position and the bridge pickup in humbucker position, demonstrating the wide variety of tonal offerings the guitar brings to the table.

"My final thoughts – I absolutely love this guitar. I don't know how to explain it, there are some guitars you pick up and they just feel like home, like a part of you, and this guitar feels like that to me."
