The PRS CE 24 electric guitar brings together the best of PRS craftsmanship and the bright, snappy character of a bolt-on neck. Originally introduced in 1988, the CE 24 has become a staple for players seeking the warmth and resonance of PRS's mahogany and maple tonewood combination while benefiting from the clarity and articulation of a maple bolt-on neck. This fusion of classic design and modern playability results in a guitar with dynamic response, sustain, and crisp attack that suits a wide variety of playing styles.
PRS Pattern Thin Neck for Effortless Playability
Built with PRS's Pattern Thin neck carve, the CE 24 offers effortless speed and comfort. The satin nitro finish on the neck provides a smooth, natural feel that makes fast passages and expressive bends second nature. Equipped with PRS's renowned 85/15 pickups, this guitar delivers a broad frequency range with enhanced clarity and articulation. The push/pull tone control allows for coil-splitting, unlocking six distinct tones from bright, shimmering single-coils to thick, full humbuckers.
Classic tonewoods with bolt-on snap
The CE 24's mahogany back and maple top provide the perfect balance of warmth, sustain, and bright articulation. The violin-carve top enhances resonance, while the bolt-on maple neck adds a distinctive attack and clarity. This unique combination captures the harmonic depth PRS guitars are known for while offering the crisp response that bolt-on designs are celebrated for.
PRS 85/15 pickups for expansive tones
Loaded with PRS 85/15 humbuckers, the CE 24 offers exceptional clarity and versatility. Designed to extend the high and low frequency response, these pickups excel in both clean and overdriven settings. With a 3-way toggle switch and push/pull tone control, players can switch between humbucking and single-coil sounds, delivering six distinct tones that cover everything from sparkling cleans to aggressive rock leads.
Precision hardware for rock-solid stability
The PRS Patented Tremolo Gen III bridge provides smooth action and superior tuning stability, whether you're adding subtle vibrato or expressive dive bombs. The guitar is equipped with PRS Phase III locking tuners with Wing buttons, featuring unplated brass shafts that enhance resonance and tuning accuracy.
