P.R.S. Used Paul Reed Smith CE 24 (Trampas Green) [SN.243969]

Paul Reed Smith has gained tremendous support in the music scene in recent years.
The 2017 CE 24 with bolt-on construction has arrived!

Since its release in 1988, the CE series has evolved along a lineage separate from the mahogany set neck. Since it disappeared from the catalog lineup in 2008, there have been many calls for its revival, but due to cost issues, it has never been produced except for a few limited edition models.

The CE 24, announced at Winter NAMM 2016, follows the previous CE series while offering even better value for money. The maple top, which has a slightly shallower arch than the Custom, is paired with a standard mahogany back, and the bolt-on maple neck, finished in satin nitrocellulose, produces a sound with a strong attack.
The fingerboard is crafted from East Indian rosewood and features PRS's trademark bird inlays.

The pickups are the 85/15s, which were also featured on the 30th Anniversary Model. These pickups, bearing the years 1985 (the year the company was founded) and 2015 (the 30th anniversary), are slightly different from the vintage-toned pickups like the 57/08 and 59/09. Developed with a modern classic character, they offer a rich sound with a wide range from high to low end and just the right amount of punchy power.

Despite the attractive specifications mentioned above, the pegs, bridge, etc. are the same parts as the S2 series, and the included case is a gig bag, making this a guitar with excellent cost performance.

Unlike the Custom, the CE uses maple for the neck and a bolt-on joint construction. It's easy to mistake it for a cheaper version of PRS, but the quality and manufacturing process are exactly the same as the higher-end models, resulting in a stunning finish. While it's true that production costs have been reduced through the use of cases and parts, the CE has a sharper, more immediate sound compared to the Custom.

The condition of this guitar is in player's condition, with minor dents and scratches, tarnish on parts, dirt on the headstock, and scratches on the buckle on the back of the body. The frets remain at about 70% of their original height, and the neck and electronics have not been tested, so it's perfect for continued use. The CE offers a distinctive tone with a bolt-on construction that's different from custom guitars, making it a truly appealing choice. Don't miss this opportunity!
