I'm french . In 2008 I bought a 2003 PRS CE 24. It's been my unique gigging guitar since. I don't play metal . A large part of the songs I play are in clean sound. Only 20 percent are in overdrive. I'm quite satisfied with the neck width, thickness and profile. I like the jumbo frets, the pick ups. It doesn't need truss rod adjstement between summer and winter. The string length between Fender and Gibson is just fine for 10-46 strings. During my first set of songs in clean or slight crunch, I only use the neck humbucker and position 2. Those two cover all my needs. The volume and tone pots are very sensitive and offer a broad variety of tones from 1 to 10. I would have prefered standard tuners instead of the weird PRS system, but they 're fine. The PRS rotating 5 positions switch requires a little time to get used to but never broke down. The Les Paul -like jack socket really pisses me off but has never made a noise in my amps.
I adore my 18 CE 24 and DW CE24 more than my custom 22 and and Gibson lespauls. These babies are the most comfortable work of art ever. Perfect comfortable carve , perfect weight and very versatile
I love my CE! I'm not a prs fan boy either, I have alot of guitars but the clarity and feel of the prs is unmatched. The clean tones especially the split could tones choke like bells in the best way, and the bridge pickup with high gain is so perfect
I bought a blue fade smoke burst CE24 during the pandemic myself. I adore this guitar. I couldn’t put my finger on why this guitar has become my number one guitar so quickly over all my other guitars. Then another reviewer made the comment that it’s like a Les Paul, a Fender Strat, and a shredder super strat rolled into one. I couldn’t have agreed with this statement more.
Great video, since your video they have gone way up in price $2500 , I Caught an all Natural (Blond) on sale on the internet, it should come tomorrow, can’t wait!!
Thanks so much for making this video. I don't own any PRS guitars but I have been looking for a do it all guitar for the cover bands I play in. I found it interesting that you said the neck was thin? I am currently looking for a local dealer near me to try out this guitar or something similar to it. The only thing that would hold me back from buying it is the neck. I always shied away from PRS thinking the neck is to wide for my hands. Anyways thanks again for the insight and great video.
Im really interested in getting my first USA PRS, and I think I want it to be a CE. I play everything from classic rock, to blues(John Mayer type stuff), all the way to metal(Metallica, typical metalcore bands). Would this guitar be right for me? I love my SE C24-08 so I can only imagine the CE would be 10 times better!
I chose a ebmm stingray guitar over the ce24. Neck is way more comfortable but the ce definitely had more tonal options. I love music man guitars but I may still need to buy a ce soon haha
@@JLFulks beautiful guitar, I’m struggling to get one here in the uk seems to be a shortage at the moment, got a few options but at the price I want to pick a nice one like that.

CE24s are fantastic guitars. I've been playing them since 1998. Other guitars come and go, but the CE24 remains as my #1 go to.

They are great! Definitely awesome for the money

Love my PRS! Came perfectly set up, always stays in tune.
I use it as the benchmark for all my guitar builds now.
The 85/15 neck pick up is so good.
Never played a guitar as comfortable as my CE 24 semi hallow. Fantastic
They are great!
Loved your review! Just bought One!
Loving it every day. My go to guitar to practice.
Badass. Dig my CE as well!
Body is also thinner thus lighter, I find this comfy. I have the Ruby Red.
The 85/15 S pickups that come in the SE and the S2 are also spectacular.
PRS makes great pickups
Are they the same specs, just made in different factories? Do they sound the same?
Semi hollow CE24 is just amazing, especially with the split coils.
I literally posted a comment asking what the top color was and you said it in the video about 10 seconds later! 😂 awesome video! 🎸🤘🏽
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Great video, since your video they have gone way up in price $2500 , I Caught an all Natural (Blond) on sale on the internet, it should come tomorrow, can’t wait!!
I own 2 PRS guitars and I love them both! PRS makes great guitar's!
That is true!
What a beautiful guitar you have!
Thanks!
Great music mate. I happily own this guitar and is an abolute beast!
Thanks! Yes! Definitely one of my favorites
nice review!! can you know me detail of your guitar? (color, built year)
i got the same set up! g20, ce24. my ce24 is one of the satin mahogany body ones tho.
Heck yeah that’s a great set up!

Oh you may definitely like this neck then! It’s a pattern thin neck. It is much thinner than my other guitars but I like it
That’s a cool tone 🎶🎵🥂🏆 Just that alone makes me want one for clean tones.
The clean tones are great. Lots of options
Great sounding and playing. What’s gauge of string on this guitar? Thanks
11’s

Confused on the CE, I'm new to PRS, whats the difference between the 699.00 CE and the 2600.00 CE???
Give your pinky some action !
I'm trying to decide between the ce24 and the ernie ball music man luke 3
I actually have never really played any Ernie Ball guitars but I’m sure they are great. PRS is more my style though

Surprised it a grey black as it looks blue
It does have a blueish / purple tint to it

All great. Shame it’s lightweight. Heavier guitars have a better tone and response.
