Since 1988, the CE has been a staple in the PRS lineup for players who crave that signature bolt-on "snap" and response. Now, PRS is making that classic vibe more accessible than ever with the SE CE 24 Standard—the most affordable CE to date.
This guitar pairs a solid mahogany body with a bolt-on maple neck, finished in a thin satin that lets the wood breathe for maximum resonance. The neck features a semi-gloss finish, giving it that broken-in, "fast" feel right out of the box. For electronics, you’re looking at a set of 85/15 “S” humbuckers that deliver a massive frequency range with plenty of clarity. Plus, the push/pull tone control lets you tap those coils for those crisp single-coil textures on the fly.
Whether you’re just starting out or you’re a pro looking for a reliable stage workhorse, the SE CE 24 Standard hits the sweet spot of build quality, killer tone, and a price tag that’s hard to beat.
