Bolt-On PRS Snap With Studio-Ready Versatility
The PRS CE 24 Black takes that classic bolt-on snap and marries it to everything people love about a PRS: singing sustain, refined feel, and rock-solid tuning stability. If you grew up on Strats and LPs but want one guitar that can honestly cover both worlds, this hits that sweet spot.
Mahogany back, maple top, bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood board loaded with 24 frets and bird inlays give you the familiar PRS recipe with extra attack and clarity. At 7.4 pounds it feels solid but never punishing, so you can get through a long set without your shoulder tapping out.
Maple Top Punch, Mahogany Warmth
The maple top and mahogany back combo gives you that tight low end and focused mids that sit perfectly in a mix. Chords stay articulate, single notes bloom, and the guitar has this immediate, percussive response that rewards good right-hand technique.
The carved top is more than just pretty. The violin carve keeps the guitar feeling sleek against your body and helps it resonate in a really musical way. You feel notes come alive against your chest, not just out of the speaker.
Bolt-On Maple Neck With Addictive Feel
The bolt-on maple neck is why so many players love the CE line. You get that familiar snap and quick response that makes riffs feel tight and in-your-face, with enough warmth to keep leads fat and singing.
PRS’s Pattern Thin carve is fast without feeling like a toy. Add the satin nitro finish and it feels broken in from the first chord. No sticky gloss, no fighting the neck when things get sweaty under stage lights, just a smooth, effortless glide up and down all 24 frets.
85/15 Pickups: Six Legit Tones On Tap
The 85/15 humbuckers are built for clarity. They stay tight on the low end, have a sweet, vocal midrange, and a glassy top that cuts without getting harsh. Clean or dirty, every note in a chord stays defined.
Kick in the push/pull coil split and the guitar opens up to six total voices with the 3-way toggle. Bridge split gives you that crisp, cutting single-coil vibe, neck split gets into airy, almost Strat-like territory, and the humbucker modes handle everything from edge-of-breakup blues to saturated modern rock. They love pedals and modelers, but sound just as killer into a straightforward tube amp.
Hardware That Stays Out Of Your Way
The PRS molded trem feels smooth and controlled, so you can add shimmer or subtle vibrato without knocking the guitar out of tune. Paired with PRS low mass locking tuners and a properly cut PRS nut, tuning stability is about as good as it gets for a trem-equipped guitar.
A double-acting truss rod and PRS build quality mean this thing is ready for real-world gigging: different rooms, different climates, and long days in the case or on a stand. It is built to be played hard, not babied.
