PRS CE 24, Emerald Smokeburst, Gig Bag - Used - Mint
The CE has occupied its own corner of the PRS lineup since 1988, and the reason players keep coming back to it is simple: bolt-on construction does something that a glued neck cannot. There is a snap to the attack, an immediacy in the response, a percussive edge at the front of every note that set the CE apart from the Custom line from day one. PRS took that quality seriously when they built the CE 24 — this is not a cost-cut version of a set-neck guitar, it is a deliberate tonal choice, and players who understand the difference seek it out specifically for that character.
The foundation is the same maple top and mahogany back that defines the Core PRS voice, paired with a bolt-on maple neck in the Pattern Thin profile, finished in satin nitro that feels broken in the moment you wrap your hand around it. Fast and articulate from the first note — the kind of guitar that responds immediately and gets out of your way. The 85/15 pickups deliver the clarity and extended frequency response Paul Reed Smith designed them for, and through the push/pull tone control and 3-way toggle you have six distinct sounds covering full humbucking weight and coil-split openness. The Emerald Smokeburst finish is a deep, rich green that shifts beautifully across the figured maple top.
Condition is Mint. Clean throughout, no marks worth noting, nothing to call out. Comes with the PRS gig bag.
