Quoted for truth.

Incredible guitars, these. My only quarrel is the lack of a pickup selector. Could allow for some truly incredible sounds to be made...

I absolutely agree with everything said here. The pickup selector does take a little getting used to, but once you're used to it, it can be more effective than traditional selectors.

The finish is amazing, however, very susceptible to blemishes. Anyone that has the cash to buy this guitar though, will either take super good care of it, or they're a touring signed musician, and really just don't care, so that doesnt make much of a difference.

Overall, this is an amazing guitar, and you can't go wrong with it if you have the cash to spend on one.

A few errors in the article I need to point out;
Action fit & finish - line 2 - 1/16" off the body.
Action fit & finish - line 5 - caliber of sound and setups.

Sound - -line 6 - a creamy '80s lead with tight

please inform me of any other grammatical errors, thank you.

Damn, I want one too (I love the flame Tortoise Shell one to death! PP). Tried it once some time ago and fell in love with PRS inmediately. They're simply perfect; they look so beautiful, play like no others and are the most versatile guitars I've seen thru my whole life (I could play from classical Tarrega pieces to the black metal masters 1349 with only one guitar, I was amazed!!!).
If I get the money (no matter how long does it take!) I'll get one.

I've got an SE SIngleCut and its fantastic, so as soon as i get the rest of the money I'm selling it and buying the CE24! If the Korean built guitars are good i cant wait for this American made one

I think this is the hidden gem in the PRS lineup. Sure its got the bolts in the back and it lacks the shiny gold pickups. But, play it and none of that matters. I was able to do some shredding that my current PRS that I payed twice for, just doesn't get it done. Without getting into the SE's, this has to be the best PRS for the money that I have found. Bullet FMV makes a very valid point about the pickup selectors, it will take some getting use to, and maybe the colors aren't my favorite, but the sound is all that matters and we'll all adapt to those pickup selectors as they are located in a somewhat weird location on the axe.

I tried one of the all mahogany bodied versions in indigo blue at my local dealer and spent so long with it, I got a parking ticket - it's the boy! My Lonestar Strat has now been made to walk the eBay plank. Spanky clean or girthsome fat humbucker tones and a trem that stays in tune. Every time. Heck, there's even flame figure on the back of the neck. All for under a grand. Gives my mucker Tex and his 58 Les Paul a great dualling partner. But I got mo frets! Mo tones! Just got a SE soapbar for slide too - these PRS guys KNOW what sounds good.

I've played an SE Singlecut and they are nothing compared with the CE 24, seriously - if you think that the SE models are good, the CE or Custom would blow your head off....

ofshotthefirst :
right i tried an SE custom then a CE24 and ther is a massive difference...
However on looking it up on the net ive got confused and im not sure whether it was a custom 24 or a CE 24 someone Anyone got any ideas how i can work out which one it was?

hey guys i got a question... if u play a good guitar like this one through a bad amp, (like a marshall mg for example) will it sound bad?

sewoo, You've probably heard it said that 'the best amp can make the worst guitar sound good'. However, it does not work like that the other way around. Now a marshall mg is not bad necessarily, but this guitar deserves WAY more. However, if you are looking for a cheap but good amp, the Vox Valvetronix line is amazingly good for the money. It simulates many very expensive amps almost perfectly.
