In addition to fueling articulate tone, this maple neck improves fretting speed and makes big leaps more comfortable than ever. The CE 24’s TCI-tuned 85/15 pickup set and updated switching system let you blaze through versatile tonal options onstage, which range from hard-rock humbucker drive to sensuous single-coil leads.

Versatile 85/15 pickups for six humbucker/single-coil sounds





Modern-voiced with vintage characteristics, the CE 24’s coil-tapped humbuckers sound great for rock, pop, indie, metal, or punk. A push-pull pot lets you transition from scorching metal leads to tasty California twang on the fly. Paul Reed Smith retooled his original pickups to bring the sweet harmonics and chunky warmth of this classic design ? but with modern output and articulation for today’s players and gear. Each set of pickups has been ear-tuned to perfection by Paul and his team, a process known as Tuned Capacitance and Inductance (TCI). The end result is a very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage but updated for the modern player.

Energize tone with a maple neck





Fans of the original CE series from the 1980s to the 2000s will feel right at home playing the current-gen CE 24’s bolt-on maple neck. The CE 24 plays a lot like a Custom 24 but has a woodier attack and a sharper bite you can really dig into. Whether you play blues leads or rock ’n’ roll rhythms, the PRS CE 24 has the tonal diversity you’re after.





High-end looks and playability





A rich mahogany body, designer maple top, and velvety rosewood fingerboard give the CE 24 a warm and balanced sound with a look you won’t want to keep your hands off. Sweetwater guitarists are big on the CE 24’s thinner body and more comfortable top carve, which feel great against the wrist and forearm for strumming. Lastly, this limited-edition model takes inspiration from the Private Stock and Wood Library with a tasteful satin nitro finish that lets tonewoods breathe while providing alternatives to the CE 24’s glossy forebearers.
