Interesting fact Jon. The CE 24 is the ONLY guitar EVER made that can be used in a cover band. It has 24 frets - u can play Metallica and the money solo etc, Rosewood fret board, locking tuners for dark stage string changes, functioning strap buttons, its has absolute solid solid tuning, whammy bar that does the job, its sound like a Strat or a les Paul (coil tap), its doesn't cost a fortune , its not too heavy and the quality of the build is excellent, fret work excellent. I searched every where for a similar guitar nothing came close, AZ24 nearest but tuning not as good. And you get a brilliant gig bag !
SE don’t have the nice thin neck . But it’s close . Also forgot to mention it has central placed dots ( even though they are birds ) . If ur learning lots of songs extremely important to keep it simple so dots in the side or no dots not good
@@hoot9612 interesting! What’s the tuning stability like though ? PRS is just ridiculously good on that front . This has top end pegs and I have found that isn’t as stable
Yep. Fantastic guitar. Although I would argue the Charvel Pro Miod DK24 HH version comes close, especially on quacky strat tones with the series parallel switch.
Of all the PRSs I have owned or played, the CE24 is my favorite. It's also my preferred guitar when playing worship guitar at church. Been told it "sounds like bells." :)
I have a CE 24 since march 2022, is the best and most versatile guitar i ever had. I have a McCarty Sunburst that is gorgeous, but this amber is amazing too!
Love this guitar . I have a blue one. Had a finish problem. While it was at PRS getting fixed I had them wire in the 24-08 switching. Now it's even handier. I also love the unique tone vs my other guitars. It is my goto guitar :)
@Silkaz7 100% agree. Guess some people complain about the looks of the switches. Not me I love the versatility, and I think the guitar looks plenty good!
What I love about PRS is they seem to do split coil so well compared to others and this is no exception Jon. Gorgeous all round and you play them so well 😃👍
Happy New Year Jon! Enjoyed hanging out with you and your regular guitar brothers for the live chat on New Year's eve. I hope and pray '23 will be a great year for everyone!
I own the semi-hollow version of this guitar, but I had my local guitar tech swapped out the stock 85/15 for an BKP Polymath set (even replaced the original pots with new ones from BKP) because mine had connection issues with volume pot and wiring from some reason. The guitar sounds better now with no problems whatsoever.
Awesome video, as always, Jon. I have a 2020 model in Trampas Green, and it is genuinely one of my favorites. Happy New Year to you, brother. Thanks for starting it off right.
Hi Jonathan, what a great looking & sounding guitar. Seemed like many options for tones available. Simple design but extremely functional. Great review, loved it. Cheers ✌️🎸💜
Wow! I know this video is a year old. But, this is the most mesmerizing solo I have ever heard. I only wish I could play like that. I have played that beginning solo over and over and, I just can't stop listening to it. Did you write that yourself? That is the sound I have dreamed of being able to play my whole life. You are amazing, my friend. I am still making payments on a Takamine 12-string you reviewed a while ago. But, after watching this video, I am going to look into the PRS CE 24. If for no other reason than, I want to sound like that. And, I don't think that I can sound like that unless I have that guitar and 'try' to copy what you just played. I probably won't succeed, but I will sound good trying. What an inspiration you have become, for more than just me, I'm sure. I probably shouldn't be spending most of my Social Security money on guitars but, I'm single and retired, so there is no one to complain about it. I had three wives and two beautiful daughters but, when you get old, you become irrelevant. We haven't spoken in years. Musicians, like you, and music, in general, have become my family. For people like me, people like you, mean something. Love your music and I am going to listen to that beginning solo one more time before I retire for the evening. Damn, that was a long comment. Sorry about that. You rock.
Hey Mike...dont worry about it. I totally get you. You're not irrelevant...people who loves you will know that. Try dropping into one of my live stream one day...Take care!
Great playing as always. I had a CE24. Fantastic guitar, so versatile and well built. I sold it in the end just because I prefer a slightly narrower neck and flatter radius but that was just personal preference.
Beautiful guitar Jon with your amazing playing. I guess this model was PRS response to the Strat before launching the Silver Sky, it sounds very good and it’s packed with great features. I hope you may review the PRS Vela which has a single coil neck or bass (in PRS terms) pickup. Happy New Year 2023, you started it in such a great way! ✌️🤩👍🎸
I have this same color on my semi hollow. Along with 3 other CEs including the DW Floyd. Honestly they are more comfortable to play than my core or the older CE
Another great review! My CE24 is due to arrive in a few days (Monday). Can't wait! BTW really enjoyed the tune you were playing-- Is it one of your own, or a cover?
Incredible playing as always. I love your videos. Do you ever share the presets from the Helix that you use? I have the CE24 and I loved the preset you were using...
Ooh, I'm an old guy too and thought I wanted a 335 or a Gretsch to round out my collection until I saw and played an Epi 339. Wow. Perfect size for me for a semihollow, in between 335 and a regular solid body like a Les Paul. You know, the only thing I don't like is not having easy rear access to the controls and wiring since I like to do my own work. Since these are ply laminates on the front and back I don't think a hatch would hurt anything.
Nice guitar! I think I like your Macharty better. Funny thing, as you know, I’ve had many guitars over the years and enjoy my collection now. But, somehow, I’ve never played a PRS. Go to the guitar stores, and I always end up playing something else. I’ve made bids on them, but never win? I’m just going to a PRS shop and try one out.
I bought a used SE 245 from GC just before COVID hit and I have to admit it is amazing to play and the tones are unreal good even outside it's price point. Super comfortable to play, I can only imagine the CE24 is even better all the way around.
I found your channel today and have watched a few of your videos. I love your playing style and the emotion that you portray through the guitar. Do you have any vids that do a rundown of your studio equipment? Are we hearing the songs through that Orange amp?
Jon, superb playing as always. I am a amateur player and mainly play metal stuff. I am looking to get a guitar for rock, blues. Should i get a squier strat and an epiphone les paul or get the prs ce24 instead? Please share me your thoughts on it. 🤘🎸
A little late for your question, bit maybe it will help somebody else. For starters the Epiphone or Squire are in a completely different category. The CE is a professional level guitar with a professional level price tag. Unless you are ready to spend and feel the need for a true pro level guitar, it's a lot of money and hard to justify. The squire or epiphone are good beginner-intermediate guitars and with a bit of fret work and maybe a pickup swap could last you a long time and not hold ya back at all. The CE, of which I am very proud to own at now almost 40 years old is an amazing instrument that could cover Jazz-metal and everything in between in a live setting and sound great. It will however never sound like an LP or a Strat. It's too full sounding to be a strat, and too bright and snappy to be a LP. That said you could roll back the tone just a bit and get into LP territory, or switch to single coil mode and get closer to strat territory. It's. Great guitar that can do a bit of everything, but maybe master none. It has its own unique tone (that I happen to love) and it is it's own thing. If you love the way a LP sounds buy an Epi and throw in some American Burst Buckers. If you love a strat tone buy a higher priced squire. If you want a true jack of all trades guitar and can afford it buy the CE. Now PRS recently came out with the SE line of CE24 guitars. I've played the flame top version. No it's isn't just like the Core CE24, but at 1/3rd the prices (or satin 1/5th) it is an amazing guitar that captures a lot of the basic mojo of the Core CE24 and from a playability standpoint it ain't ever gonna hold ya back.
Nice guitar and review, though I'm not convinced about the split coil sound. However, I do like the cross with the verses on. Is that New? Blessings for the new year
Love the channel and enjoy your reviews. Is it just me but does this one sound a little dead? I love PRS guitars, but this one sounded a little lifeless. Just my$.02
Could Improve the neck joint, making a smoother transition into the body. That is why I do not buy PRS guitars as details matter, and pickups are average even on the more expensive models of PRS guitars. When you buy a PRS you do expect the details to be looked after. Sometimes those small details are overlooked.

1) Prs custom 24-08, can be the SE version. Though you'll need to swap tuners to locking ones.
2) Tom anderson's Angel

I love these guitars. I have both a solid body and a semi hollow. They have their own thing going on. Every serious player should give them a try.

The 24-08 switching should be the standard, it is so much better than the blade switch of the regular cu24.

Waooo what an amazing player!! Excellent sound beautiful melody

Join us often!! ✌️❤️
I have two CE’s. One with 85/15 pick ups the other with 57/08. They are amazing guitars!
Yes they are!!✌️❤️
Great informative video with tastefully superb playing ...the usual excellence which I enjoy.

In my opinion this clean with the line 6 is sweeter than your new clean with the fender
Thank you for sharing
Great guitar, I have one in Gray/ black, the neck has just a perfect feel for me😊
Nice ✌️❤️
I have a 2017. I love it!
Cool ✌️❤️
Yeah! The 24 frets makes the guitar a bit longer …I like that! Sounds great.
Thank you ✌️❤️

Cool!✌️❤️
i love that guitar and its sounds ! Thank you for the demo ! a comparaison with a CTS 24 would be great, directly in an amp (no amp sim ^^).

Hope you enjoy it!!! It’s just me fooling around with a backing track✌️❤️
Are the pickup is same with PRS S2 jon? Because S2 pickup is same pickup from SE, not made in USA?
Thats what PRS says..
Buena guitarra, buen año para vos y los tuyos..👏👏👍🙌
Muchas gracias!✌️❤️
Incredible playing as always. I love your videos. Do you ever share the presets from the Helix that you use? I have the CE24 and I loved the preset you were using...
No, sorry.. but you can try the presets that I’ve shared on my Helix HX stomp video
I sure would like to see you review a ES 339 Epiphone or Gibson. You do such a fantastic review. Oh happy New Year.
