Bolster Your Sound with the Bolt-on SE CE24
PRS's SE CE24 merges the Custom 24 series' elegant tonewoods and iconic aesthetics with a snappy bolt-on-neck design. This guitar's maple-veneer-topped mahogany body epitomizes the company's tonal dedication to singing sustain, exceptional clarity, and vintage-style warmth, harkening back to the golden age of solidbody guitar building. However, instead of the standard mahogany set-neck found on the majority of PRS instruments, this guitar sports a sturdy maple Wide Thin neck with a rosewood fingerboard. This combination provides a crisp, sharp attack and immaculately defined trebles, complementing the natural warmth and richness of the 85/15 "S" humbuckers. The SE CE24 finishes it all off with rock-solid PRS-designed tuners and a PRTS Patented Tremolo for expressive bends and flutters. Whether it's your first PRS or your fifth, the PRS SE CE24 is destined to become your next #1 axe!
PRS-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups
This SE CE24 is loaded with Paul Reed Smith-designed 85/15 "S" humbucking pickups. An update on PRS's original humbuckers, the 85/15 "S"s are designed to sound terrific whether used in humbucking or single-coil modes. Guitarists have discovered they offer plenty of output for driving your amp hard while sounding clear and detailed when you want. These SE humbuckers closely resemble the tones of the US-made versions found in the solidbody electric guitars.
Lightning-fast response
Every aspect of the SE CE24 has been crafted to allow for an unrestricted playing experience. The maple neck is capped with a beautiful piece of rosewood that feels sleek under the fingers, while its 10-inch fretboard radius aids in wide bends and nimble string-to-string playing. The neck also boasts PRS's famed Wide Thin neck carve that is full enough to remain comfortable, but thin enough for you to fly up and down the frets.
PRS CE: bolt-on brilliance since 1988
Since 1988, the CE series has served as Paul Reed Smith's premier line of bolt-on electric guitars. While the vast majority of PRS guitars come equipped with a mahogany set-neck construction, guitars such as this SE CE24 instead feature a sturdy 4-bolt maple neck. What's the difference? The bolt-on neck found on CE-series PRS guitars transforms your tone with a sharper attack and a somewhat more percussive snap to your notes. There's no better or worse both set-neck and bolt-on neck PRS guitars boast a tone all their own, each with a past rooted in the long and storied tradition of electric guitar building.
