Description
The PRS CE 24 was originally introduced all the way back in 1988 as a way of delivering the traditional snappy bolt-on tone from a PRS guitar. The CE 24 follows in its Custom 24 counterpart’s footsteps with a double-cutaway design, dual humbuckers, 24 frets and a mahogany body topped with a beautiful maple cap.
Key Features
- Pattern Thin – Comfortable and ergonomic the PRS Pattern Thin neck shape still feels like home however in a thinner package for an even more rapid feeling neck profile.
- Phase III Tuners – The perfect blend of vintage aesthetic and modern design. Utalising unplated brass shafts for unparalleled tonal transfer as well as precision gear ratios for effortless tuning the Phase III tuners are possibly the most thought-out guitar tuners.
- Patented Tremolo Gen III – The most recent incarnation of the famed PRS Tremolo System. Meticulously designed with improved string vibration transfer for an even more defined and bigger tone with improved tuning stability.
Bolt-On Design
From the front, the CE 24 looks like any other core PRS. Figured maple top, bird inlays and a set of durable PRS hardware exactly as you would expect on a Custom 24. However, under the hood are a few changes that makes this a completely different tone machine. It’s mahogany body delivers warm characteristics with loads of midrange which perfectly works alongside the bolt on construction and Maple top which adds brightness, clarity and articulation to the tone.
85/15 Pickups
85/15 humbuckers are incredible pickups found all the way through the PRS range, right to the upper echelons of the Custom 24 series. Highly versatile and powerful, the CE24 pair gains an extra top-end bite from the bolt-on neck – ideal for hard rock and metal. That’s not all, as these vintage-voiced pickups roll back for edge of breakup tones without the intense saturation.
