Here for sale we have a PRS CE 24 electric guitar in Black Flame finish. Made in the USA in 2020, the original CE was introduced in 1988 and offered players PRS design and quality with the added snap and sparkle of traditional bolt-on guitars. This bolt-on construction comprises a Mahogany body topped with a Flamed Maple top, Maple neck and 24 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Nickel hardware is fitted, including a PRS Patented Tremolo and PRS designed Locking Tuners. A pair of PRS 85/15 humbucking pickups are installed, and are wired to a 3-way toggle switch with master volume and tone controls. 

The Maple neck plays exceptionally well, with the 'Pattern Thin' profile filling the hand nicely without being at all cumbersome. Certainly, the profile is thick enough to sustain a firm grip when chord playing whilst remaining slim enough for fast articulate melodic lines. The Rosewood fingerboard is pleasant under the fingers, and with its 10" radius is practical for a wide range of styles and techniques. The Gloss finish to the rear creates a smooth, addictive feel while the cutaway and signature PRS chamfered horn ensure unobstructed access to the upper register for soloing. 

The pair of PRS USA 85/15 pickups installed in this instrument deliver remarkable clarity, perfect for modern tones. A detailed low end is complemented well by a smooth midrange, whilst the high frequencies are bright and shimmering. Further versatility is granted via the push/pull coil split, offering gorgeous sparkling single coil tones. Overall a great workhorse guitar, ideal for a gigging musician in need of a guitar that sounds great in virtually any playing situation.
