Dustie Waring's signature CE 24 adds pummeling crunch and tonal versatility to the familiar 24-fret PRS recipe. The secret tonal ingredient is a pair of Gen 2 DW Tomahawk pickups from Mojotone. These specially wound boutique humbuckers blend alnico and ceramic magnets for an exceptional balance of clarity, punch, and heat. A PRS plate-style hardtail bridge is coupled with a shifted-back 5-way selector, giving you plenty of room for sonic flexibility. It's all made irresistible by the CE 24's breathtaking maple-capped mahogany body and legendary maple-on-maple touch response. Additional artist touches for this Dustie Waring axe include a DW-profile maple neck ? based on a Pattern Thin profile but with a slimmer front-to-back feel ? and a selection of exclusive finishes.

"I’ve always thought CEs were really great guitars, and I couldn’t be happier with this signature model. It can get pretty much any sound you want it to, it’s super comfortable to play, and it’s just cool to see a CE with a maple board and a Floyd. I hope everyone loves it as much as I do." ?Dustie Waring, Between the Buried and Me

Waring'sDW CE 24 Hardtail has a neck built to rock. For starters, this guitar has a slightly modified Pattern Thin neck carve. It's perfect for fast players and lead guitar players. It's not too big, not too small. The DW CE 24 Hardtail’s maple fingerboard plays smooth and fast under your fingertips. And thanks to its iconic bird inlays, no one will mistake your axe for anything other than a PRS.





Solid mahogany topped with maple sounds amazing





To give the DW CE 24 Hardtail a rich yet balanced sound, PRS began by choosing the tried-and-true combination of mahogany topped with maple. The Dustie Waring signature guitar's mahogany body gives you natural tonal warmth, which is offset perfectly by the brighter tone of its maple top. Together, these tonewoods give you an incredibly balanced sound. The set maple neck and 24-fret maple fretboard offer smooth playability and a full 2-octave range on every string.
