on guitars. Returning after nearly a decade of being out of the lineup, the CE24 is back re-envisioned.
“After 30 years of guitar making, we’ve learned a lot, and we have used all that knowledge to update our original CE bolt-on model. Most notably we updated its sound by adding our new 85/15 pickups which have more musical high end than the original 'HFS' pickups, and we also made it slimmer so it is very comfortable to play,” said PRS founder Paul Reed Smith.
The guitar pairs PRS’s traditional body combination of the mahogany back and maple top with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The neck sports a Pattern Thin carve and satin nitro finish for a natural feel. To further maximize the guitar’s inherent tone and clarity, the CE24 features PRS 85/15 pickups, which Paul designed to have remarkable clarity as well as extended high and low end.
Electronics consist of a volume and push/pull tone control with three-way toggle switch for a total of six classic sounds.
The CE24 is available in Amber, Dark Cherry Sunburst, Grey Black, McCarty Tobacco, Ruby, Trampas Green, Vintage Sunburst and Whale Blue (natural binding, toned nitro finish on necks).
