Paul Reed Smith SE CE 24 Vintage Sunburst

The 2025 PRS SE CE 24 is a bolt-on tone machine—combining classic PRS design with snappy response, modern clarity, and unbeatable value.

This model brings the legendary CE (Classic Electric) formula to the SE Series, offering players the punch of a bolt-on maple neck, the warmth of a mahogany body, and the versatility of PRS’s acclaimed 85/15 “S” pickups. Whether you're gigging, recording, or just jamming at home, the SE CE 24 delivers professional performance at a price that’s hard to beat.

Construction & Feel

• Body: Solid mahogany with a shallow violin carve and thin satin finish for enhanced resonance and a broken-in feel
• Neck: Bolt-on maple neck with a Wide Thin profile—fast, sleek, and comfortable
• Fretboard: Rosewood with a 10" radius and PRS bird inlays
• Scale Length: 25" with 24 frets for extended range and fluid soloing
• Neck Finish: Semi-gloss for smooth playability

Electronics & Tone

• Pickups: PRS 85/15 “S” humbuckers—uncovered for modern edge, designed for clarity and extended frequency response
• Controls:
  • Master volume
  • Push/pull tone control for coil-splitting
  • 3-way toggle switch for quick pickup selection
• Sound Profile:

• Humbucker mode: full, articulate, and punchy
• Coil-split mode: bright, snappy, and clean
• Ideal for rock, blues, funk, and modern pop

Hardware & Reliability

• Bridge: PRS Patented Tremolo—smooth action with excellent tuning stability
• Tuners: PRS-designed tuners—lightweight and precise
• Nut: PRS synthetic nut for consistent intonation
• Hardware Finish: Nickel

Why It Stands Out

• Bolt-on construction delivers snappy attack and vintage-style clarity
• All-mahogany body adds warmth and midrange punch
• Satin finish enhances resonance and feels fast and natural
• Incredible value for a USA-designed, globally built PRS with pro specs

The SE CE 24 is a no-nonsense workhorse that’s equally at home on stage, in the studio, or at your local shop like Tone Tailors. It’s a modern classic for players who want tone, feel, and flexibility—without the boutique price tag.
