Paul Reed Smith SE CE 24: Classic Bolt-on Construction with PRS Innovation

The SE CE 24 pairs the traditional PRS Custom 24 combination of a maple top, mahogany back, and rosewood fretboard with a bolt-on maple neck. The added snap and response of bolt-on construction has been an essential part of guitar history from the beginning, and the CE’s voice and appointments carry that tradition forward with PRS’s unique spin on a classic. The 85/15 “S” pickups provide extended high and low end with clarity and balance, while the push/pull tone control adds the versatility of coil splits. The PRS SE CE 24 delivers tone, playability, and classic PRS looks that players of all styles can rock. The PRS CE was originally introduced in 1988 and joins the SE Series for the first time for 2024.

High-Quality Craftsmanship and Versatile Design

The PRS SE CE 24 features a solidbody construction with a flame maple veneer on a maple top, enhancing its visual appeal and tonal characteristics. The mahogany back provides a warm and resonant foundation, while the shallow violin top carve adds to the guitar's aesthetic elegance. This combination of premium woods and meticulous craftsmanship ensures a rich, balanced tone that suits a variety of playing styles.

Bolt-On Neck for Enhanced Snap and Response

The bolt-on maple neck of the SE CE 24 adds a distinct snap and clarity to the guitar's sound. The neck is designed with a Wide Thin shape and a scarfed construction for added strength and playability. The rosewood fretboard, with its 24 frets and 10-inch radius, offers a smooth playing surface and comfortable feel. The iconic bird inlays and signature "SE" headstock logo add a touch of PRS's signature style.

Versatile Electronics for a Wide Range of Tones

Equipped with PRS 85/15 “S” pickups, the SE CE 24 provides a wide tonal range with remarkable clarity and extended high and low end. The electronics include a volume control, push/pull tone control for coil splitting, and a 3-way toggle switch, offering versatile sound options for different musical genres. Whether you're playing clean, overdriven, or distorted tones, this guitar delivers the flexibility you need.

Reliable Hardware for Consistent Performance

The PRS SE CE 24 is built with high-quality hardware to ensure reliable performance.
