The original CE series was launched in 1988 and gained popularity for its traditional sound. The "Paul Reed Smith CE24 Black Cherry" offers a unique appeal, combining a distinctive sonic character with excellent playability.

Based on its serial number, this is a pre-owned instrument manufactured in 2019.

While PRS is primarily known for its set-neck models, the CE24 stands out with its bolt-on neck construction—a feature that delivers a unique sound highly prized by dedicated fans.

The guitar features a classic combination of a flame maple top and a mahogany back, with a maple neck and rosewood fretboard attached via a bolt-on joint.

The pickups have been replaced: a Seymour Duncan "SH2N" is installed in the neck position, and a Seymour Duncan "TB-4" in the bridge position.

The neck pickup offers a low-output, bright sound, while the bridge pickup provides a well-balanced, high-output tone rich in harmonics and sustain.

Additionally, the tone pot features a push-pull function for coil-tapping, and a 3-way toggle switch ensures a seamless, stress-free playing experience.

By blending vintage and modern pickup design elements, the instrument emphasizes the low and high frequencies with perfect balance, producing a sound that is clear, thick, and brilliant.

The guitar shows signs of significant use, including various minor play-wear scratches and small dings across the instrument. More notably, there are several dings around the body top—some accompanied by paint chips or areas where the finish has lifted—giving the instrument a well-worn appearance.

The end pins and pickups have been replaced (the original parts are not included).

Approximately 70% of the fret height remains, and there is no noticeable fret buzz or dead notes when played through an amplifier. Weight: Approx. 3.48 kg
