NGD: PRS CE24

[Doomrider78]

This mark's a couple of events: Firstly, I felt the need to get rid of 2 guitars I never play, either because I've got a better sense of what I want or because I haven't bonded with them. Secondly, my Canadian Permanent Residence came through this week so I thought I'd treat myself.

This is, by far and away, the most I've ever spent on a guitar, but it is a thing of beauty. Probably not TGP-approved but hey-ho

Its a PRS CE24, Amber

Love those Amber finishes. Congratulations!

Love those Amber finishes. Congratulations!

Thanks, although so far the pickups are the star: Even with very high gain they remain clear and detailed.

 

[Borealis]

Nice, congrats!

Congrats!

I sold my CE24 yesterday and i miss it already.Went in here hoping i'd see that particular one . I had an older model with a black headstock and those guitars were beasts. I can see another PRS for myself in the future.

You got a great guitar on your hands!

Why'd you sell it?

Cool guitar, congrats! Love my 1990 CE24.

Nice! So far the only PRS I've really gravitated towards are the CEs. Last year I played a bunch of the '90s ones and current models, but still haven't jumped on one. I may just do that some day.

Nice guitar. I've been looking at those, and the semi-hollow version, a lot lately. How are the coil-split tones?

I haven't really spent much time with the coil split, yet, as I have my Strat when I want to play single coil but I'll let you know when I get round to it.

Certainly the videos I've seen suggest they sound excellent when split.

congrats for both events!
I have been pointing at this one for a long time because I like the CE24 specs a lot.. wasnt sure about the amber color tho (yours looks supergood).. "ended up" with my first CU24 instead

Congrats on the new guitar and on being a full time Canuck!

Thanks. They also had the McCarty finish one but I didnt think the wood grain looked as good. That's quite a leap in money for "ended up with" a guitar

Thinking about it, my biggest criticism is that it only came with a gig bag: you would have thought a guitar that cost nearly 3000 bucks, with taxes, would come with a hard case.

Gorgeous. Wish they'd make a goldtop in these.

 

[OotMagroot]

LOVE that! I had a '95 Tort Brown CE. Very close to that color. Congrats!

Agreed, I think guitars in that price range should have both a hard and soft case included.
