What's the difference between the PRS SE Custom 24 and the SE Custom 24-08?
The 24-08 adds two "mini" switches.
With the inclusion of two mini-toggle switches, you have five additional tone combinations to work with. Each switch activates a coil tap for their respective pickup, giving you a total of eight different on-guitar sounds.
Here's a list that highlights the differences, with the full list of specs below. The "08" in the SE 24-08 refers to the eight different switching combinations via the two additional mini switches, which just adds more flexibility than the regular SE Custom 24.
