The PRS CE 24 first rocked up back in 1988, built to give players that classic bolt-on snap and sparkle, but with all the class and comfort you’d expect from PRS. Fast forward to today, and the CE 24 is still a serious head-turner with its sleek double-cutaway body, 24 frets, a pair of humbuckers and that winning combo of a Mahogany back and a gorgeous Maple top. Now, the PRS CE 24 Semi-Hollow takes that recipe and adds a tasty twist, providing a more open, airy vibe that really lets your tone breathe!

Bolt-on brilliance

At first glance, the CE 24 could easily be mistaken for a Custom 24 with its figured Maple top and iconic bird inlays. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find a few clever tweaks that make this guitar a completely different beast — like its bolt-on construction. While the Mahogany body brings warmth and rich mids, that bolt-on Maple neck injects extra brightness, clarity and that snappy attack players love!

Versatile 85/15 pickups

Loaded with PRS’s superb 85/15 humbuckers, the CE 24 Semi-Hollow delivers everything from shimmering cleans to roaring high-gain tones. These pickups are a staple across the PRS range, and for good reason — they’re articulate, powerful and incredibly flexible. Thanks to the bolt-on construction, you get an extra helping of top-end bite that’s perfect for hard rock and metal riffs that need to cut through the mix. Then roll back the volume, and you’re straight into sweet, vintage-inspired edge-of-breakup tones.

Key Features

  • Semi-hollow body design: Adds extra resonance and warmth to your tone, giving you that lively, open sound that just feels more expressive.

  • PRS 85/15 pickups: Uncovered humbuckers with remarkable clarity and extended high and low end, perfect for more modern applications.
  • PRS Patented Tremolo: Engineered for precision, this trem ensures tonal integrity, a smooth feel and rock-solid tuning stability.
  • PRS Phase III locking tuners: Quick string changes and bulletproof reliability. These lightweight, ergonomic machine heads are a gigging guitarist’s best friend!

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Semi-Hollow Electric Guitars

Semi-hollow electric guitars combine elements of solid and hollow body designs, offering warmth and resonance alongside improved sustain and feedback control. Typically built with a centre block running through the body, they deliver an open, airy character while remaining stable at higher volumes. This balance makes them well suited to a wide range of styles, from jazz and blues to indie, rock, and alternative music. Semi-hollow guitars respond well to dynamics and touch, providing a versatile, expressive option for players who want depth without sacrificing control.
