Here is a lovely PRS CE24 solidbody in Tobacco Sunburst dating back to 1991, in great playing condition and with just a little honest play wear.
The PRS CE24 solidbody combines a number of classic themes, and in fact CE24 stands for ‘Classic Electric 24 Frets’. The body is the typical PRS combination of a double cutaway with carved Maple top on a Mahogany slab back, and the bolt-on neck is Maple with an Indian Rosewood fingerboard.
This example was built during 1991 at the PRS shop in Stevensville, Maryland, and carries a tobacco sunburst. The hardware includes PRS locking tuners, a PRS vintage style trem bridge, and a pair of uncovered humbuckers. PRS long ago learned how to do excellent finishes, and this one has stood up well since it rolled out 28 years ago. There is some light play wear, a few small dents here and there but overall is in good condition. Fret wear is light, and the guitar plays well.
Here is the builder on the PRS CE24 solidbody:
“Since the dawn of rock and roll, the snap and response that comes from a bolt-on neck guitar has been an essential part of the mix. These attributes have, in turn, become essential to many players trying to tell their story through music.
The CE 24 pairs PRS’s traditional body combination of the mahogany back and maple top with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The neck sports a Pattern Thin carve and satin nitro finish for a natural, addictive feel. To further maximize the guitar’s inherent tone and clarity, the CE 24 features PRS 85/15 pickups, which Paul designed to have remarkable clarity as well as extended high and low end.
The electronics consist of a volume and push/pull tone control with 3-way toggle switch for a total of six classic sounds.
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.”
