                BODY THICKNESS - The 408 is a McCarty-thickness body (what is it, maybe 1/16" or 1/8" thicker than the "Custom" body?); the 24-08 is regular/standard PRS "custom" thickness. This tends to make the 408 just a touch more hefty (they're not "heavy" guitars by any means) and a bit more vintage-inspired, as well.Jul 8, 2021
