Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Höfner Super Solid II is a German-built solid-body from the early 1960s carrying two of Höfner's 'diamond' pickups, one volume and two tone controls, and a four-way selector rather than the usual three. A maple neck, 22 frets with full-width block markers, and an all-metal bridge with tremolo tailpiece complete a guitar built to European rather than American conventions — Mark Knopfler owned one before Dire Straits.
Introducing the PRS Custom 24, a timeless masterpiece that captures the essence of musical innovation. As the flagship model of Paul Reed Smith, it debuted at Winter NAMM in 1985 and continues to resonate with musicians worldwide. Its exquisitely carved maple top, available in a variety of finishes from the visually striking "10 Tops" to the subtly elegant flame, pairs beautifully with a mahogany back, neck, and rosewood fretboard, ensuring a harmonious sound. This guitar caters to a broad spectrum of players, offering different neck shapes to suit individual preferences. The PRS-designed 85/15 bridge and neck pickups, paired with five-way switching and coil-tapping, unlock a plethora of tones, making the PRS Custom 24 a favorite among touring artists and studio guitarists alike.
