PRS CE 24 Semi-Hollow - Dark Cherry Sunburst Review

Top Notch Guitar

I've had guitars all my life and this is the best. Mind you, I still love my Fenders and Gibsons, but this was perfect right out of the box. It is a very comfortable guitar to play: great neck and overall action. The quality of the sound is absolutely beautiful. The physical quality of the guitar is flawless. It's just really hard to put down.

Perfection!

Amazing! The PRS CE24 Semi-Hollow checks ALL of the boxes for me. I've played for 24 years and have owned many quality and high-end guitars. I'm a Fender guy through-and-through and I love my Gibson's as well, but this is a perfect combination of both! Absolutely stunning to behold and plays like butter. I'm in love with the "Pattern Thin" neck carve with the satin maple neck. Being… read more a Fender guy, I feel right at home b/c the carve is very reminiscent of a modern Fender "C" with satin back. I instantly bonded with this gorgeous specimen and took zero time to get acclimated with it. It immediately felt like "home". The sound? Wow! When it comes to PRS, I'm a big 58/15LT guy as I love the PAF low-output style PUP's, but these new 85/15 TCI PUP's are quickly becoming one of my favorites. Plenty of punchy mid's and high's that don't get shrill or brash with a low-end that doesn't get muddy or flubby. Very responsive to volume and tone controls. Easy to EQ any amp to get "your tone". Very articulate and dynamic. A perfect mesh of vintage and modern. The "single-coil" coil-tap on these PUP's actually sounds like a single-coil...imagine that! Not surprised that Paul would be the first to finally make that happen lol. I love the Core line PRS', but I prefer the CE line much more. Just as visually stunning but, imho, plays much better do to the satin neck. This baby is giving my Fender Mod-Shop Strat some intense competition to becoming my #1 axe. If PRS made a CE22, it would be. If you're looking for a Core model, give this a shot b/c you won't be sacrificing ANYTHING! If you're considering an imported SE model or even an entry-level American S2 model, step-up to the CE b/c it's well worth the investment. You'll be very glad you did. Unquestionably my favorite PRS. Sweetwater's 36 or 48 month 0% APR, makes an otherwise unobtainable guitar a reality. Big shout-out to Ryan Murphy! I've been a Sweetwater customer for many years and have always had an enjoyable experience with him. Ryan is a gear-head and tone-chaser like the rest of us and always goes over-the-top to help me out. Naturally, these guys are there to make sales, but you can tell they genuinely care about your wants/needs and will go out of their way to help you. You can tell from their passion that it's not just "a job" to them. I live in TN and have a Guitar Center locally but still order from Sweetwater if that tells you anything. Thank you Sweetwater for being the best in the business and also, you should open another location near Nashville, TN ;D Just saying lol. Btw, the truss rod cover with the "Private Stock" Eagle is custom made with Rosewood and the inlay is Abalone and Mother-of-Pearl

Incredibly happy with this guitar!

What a great guitar! It had impeccable factory adjustments out of the box, and overall quality is super impressive! My sales engineer Jon was awesome, as always. Jon spent a great deal of time helping me pick the right guitar and followed up with all the orders' updates. Thank you, Jon! I love this guitar so much I can't stop thinking of which PRS is going to be my next :) Thank… read more you!
