Product Description

Bolt-On Snap, Carved-Top Punch—PRS CE 24 at 30% Off

Since the late ’80s, the CE 24 has been PRS’s answer to a simple question: what happens when you bolt a maple neck onto a mahogany/maple PRS and crank the amp? You get that familiar bolt-on **snap and sparkle**, but with the sustain, refinement, and tuning stability PRS is known for—this Faded Gray Black Purple Burst beauty absolutely delivers.

This one clocks in at 7.8 lbs, sports PRS 85/15 humbuckers with 6 total voices on tap, and it’s sitting in our shop right now—**brand new**, 30% off, and already dialed in with a Player-Perfect™ pro setup.

Mahogany Punch, Maple Clarity & Faded Gray Black Purple Burst

Here’s the lowdown: mahogany back for warmth and punch, maple top for cut and definition—that classic PRS recipe. The violin carve keeps the body comfortable against you while adding that little extra bit of acoustic “bloom” you feel under your picking hand.

The high-gloss nitro finish lets the guitar resonate instead of feeling choked under thick poly. And that **Faded Gray Black Purple Burst** isn’t just pretty—it’s the kind of stage-ready finish that looks dark and classy in low light, then explodes with color under spots. Pictures are of the actual guitar, serial **0395951**, so what you see is exactly what you’ll pull out of the case.

Bolt-On Maple Neck with Addictive Satin Feel

The CE 24’s secret weapon is the **bolt-on maple neck**. It gives you that immediate attack and percussive snap you usually associate with classic bolt-on designs, but with the precision and stability you expect from PRS. Notes jump off the fretboard, chords stay tight, and the whole guitar just feels “alive” under your hands.

The **Pattern Thin** carve hits that sweet spot—fast and sleek without feeling like a tiny shred stick. The satin nitro finish on the neck means no sticky gloss slowing you down, just a smooth, broken-in feel that makes long sets and marathon practice sessions a breeze. A 10″ radius rosewood board and **24 frets** give you modern playability and easy upper-fret access without losing that familiar, comfortable curve.

85/15 Pickups & 6-Way Switching: From Chime to Chunk

PRS 85/15 humbuckers are all about **clarity with range**—extended highs and lows without the mud or icepick. In full humbucker mode, you get tight low end, vocal mids, and enough output to push an amp without turning everything into mush.

Pull up the tone knob to split the coils and you unlock convincing single-coil flavors: glassy cleans, funky rhythm tones, and that chimy top end that loves compression and modulation. Between the volume, push/pull tone, and 3-way toggle, you get **six genuinely usable sounds**—from Gibson-ish growl to Fender-ish snap, all without touching your pedalboard. Real talk: if you’re a one-guitar gigging player, this wiring lets you cover a ton of ground.

Hardware That Stays Out of Your Way

The **PRS patented tremolo** is one of the few trems you can actually trust—smooth feel, solid return to pitch, and it plays nice whether you’re doing subtle vibrato or occasional dives. Paired with **PRS low mass locking tuners**, you get rock-solid tuning stability, especially with that PRS nut and double-acting truss rod keeping everything in line.

Out of the box it’s strung with **PRS Signature 10–46** and set for standard tuning (E–A–D–G–B–E), so it feels familiar under the fingers but with that extra PRS refinement. It ships in a **premium gig bag** that’s actually worthy of leaving the house with—perfect for rehearsals, fly dates, or just keeping the guitar safe between sessions.

Serious Value, Player-First Details

Originally **$2,699.00**, this CE 24 is now **30% off at $1,889.30**—that’s a ton of PRS for under two grand. You’re getting USA PRS design, top-tier fit and finish, and a truly pro-spec workhorse for the price of a lot of “mid-tier” imports.

You also get our **FREE Player-Perfect™ Pro Setup** (a $100+ value). Our techs are all seasoned players, so they dial in every guitar like it’s going into their own rig—perfect intonation, comfortable action, ready to rip from the first note. Want it your way? Tell us at checkout: string gauge, action height, tuning tweaks—we’ll nail it before it ships.

On top of that: **Price Match Guarantee, Trade-Ins Accepted, Free 1–4 Day Shipping, and our 14-Day Sound Check Guarantee**. Only one of this exact guitar in Faded Gray Black Purple Burst is in stock, and these CE 24 deals don’t hang around long.

The Lowdown

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The CE 24 takes the classic PRS mahogany/maple formula and adds a bolt-on maple neck. That bolt-on construction gives you extra snap, attack, and top-end sparkle—more in the world of traditional bolt-on guitars—while still keeping the sustain, tuning stability, and refinement PRS is known for. If you’ve ever wished a Custom-style guitar felt a bit more “Fender-meets-Gibson,” the CE lives right in that sweet spot.
They’re genuinely usable, not just a thin party trick. In full humbucker mode you get tight, modern-leaning rock tones with plenty of clarity. Pull up the tone knob and the 85/15s split into chimey, articulate voices that work great for worship, funk, clean rhythm, or anything that needs more top-end air. Combine that with the 3-way toggle and you’ve got six practical sounds that actually cover a full night of styles.
Nope—this PRS CE 24 is brand new and in factory-fresh condition. The 30% off price is a legit deal on a current-spec guitar, not a blem, second, or return. We photograph the actual instrument (serial 0395951), weigh it, and inspect it in our shop, so you know exactly what you’re getting at a killer price.
That’s exactly where the CE 24 shines. The mahogany body and maple top with 85/15 humbuckers give you the punch and mids you associate with Gibson-style guitars. The bolt-on maple neck, 25″ scale, and coil-split options bring in the snap, clarity, and feel of classic Fender-style instruments. It doesn’t copy either—it lives in the middle, so you can cover both worlds with one seriously versatile rig.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our **14-Day Return Policy**. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
