The Lithe SE CE 24 Standard Satin Has Arrived!
The PRS SE line is famous for punching above its price point, and the new satin-finished SE CE 24 Standard Satin electric guitar intensifies that trend with an unassuming all-purpose electric guitar value that both hobbyists and pros will appreciate. A traditional mahogany body supplies flexible tonal foundations and lasting sustain that paves the way for the unfettered genre range of the PRS-designed humbuckers onboard. What's more, the SE CE 24 features a bolt-on maple neck with a Wide Thin profile, just like its USA-made counterparts. A long-anticipated recent refinement of the CE 24, a maple neck adds brightness and a slight percussive energy to your playing. Pair that with a roomy 24-fret rosewood fingerboard and PRS's patented tremolo system, and prepare to be astonished by the potent features of the SE CE 24 Standard Satin.
Goodbye gloss it's satin's turn!
There's a time and place for glossy finishes with light-refracting looks, but there's something to be said about finishes that remove the barriers between players and their instruments. The new iteration of the SE CE 24 embraces the latter with an energizing satin finish that's breathable and invigorating. The SE CE 24 Standard Satin's finish invites you in with a streamlined feel that weighs less than gloss. You'll feel the difference in the satin-finished maple neck's more intimate response to hand movements, and the entire guitar mirrors that agility in ways that activate inner chops.
PRS-designed pickups
This SE CE 24 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 CE 24 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 CE 24 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.
