Bolster Your Sound with the Bolt-on SE CE 24
PRS’s SE CE 24 merges the Custom 24 series’ elegant tonewoods and iconic aesthetics with a snappy bolt-on neck design. This guitar’s flame-maple-veneer-topped mahogany body epitomizes the company’s tonal dedication to singing sustain, exceptional clarity, and vintage-style warmth, harkening back to the golden age of solidbody guitar building. But, instead of the standard mahogany set neck found on the majority of PRS instruments, this guitar sports a sturdy maple Wide Thin neck with a rosewood fingerboard. This combination provides a crisp, sharp attack and immaculately defined trebles, complementing the natural warmth and richness of the 85/15 “S” humbuckers. The SE CE 24 finishes it all off with rock-solid PRS-designed tuners and a PRS patented tremolo for expressive bends and flutters. Whether it’s your first PRS or your fifth, the PRS SE CE 24 is destined to become your next favorite axe.

PRS-designed 85/15 “S” humbucking pickups
This SE CE 24 is loaded with Paul Reed Smith–designed 85/15 “S” humbucking pickups. An update on PRS’s original humbuckers, the 85/15 “S” pickups are designed to sound terrific whether used in humbucking or single-coil modes. Sweetwater guitarists find that they offer plenty of output for driving your amp hard while sounding clear and detailed when needed. These SE humbuckers closely resemble the tones of their US-made variants found in the company’s higher-end solidbody electric guitars.
Lightning-fast response
Every aspect of the SE CE 24 has been crafted to offer an unrestricted playing experience. The maple neck is capped with a beautiful piece of rosewood that feels sleek under your fingers, while its 10-inch fretboard radius aids in wide bends and nimble string-to-string playing. The neck also boasts PRS’s famed Wide Thin neck carve, which is full enough to remain comfortable but thin enough for you to fly up and down the frets.
PRS CE: bolt-on brilliance since 1988
Since 1988, the CE series has served as Paul Reed Smith’s premier line of bolt-on electric guitars. While the vast majority of PRS guitars come equipped with a mahogany set-neck construction, guitars such as this SE CE 24 feature a sturdy 4-bolt maple neck instead. What’s the difference? The bolt-on neck found on PRS’s CE guitars transforms your tone with a sharper attack and a somewhat more percussive snap to your notes. There’s no better or worse — both set-neck and bolt-on-neck PRS guitars boast a tone all their own, each with a past rooted in the long and storied tradition of electric guitar building.
