Used Paul Reed Smith SE CE 24 Standard Metallic Gold

The 2025 PRS SE CE 24 Standard is the most affordable bolt-on in the PRS lineup—delivering classic snap, modern tone, and pro-level playability in a sleek, satin-finished package.

This model brings the legendary CE (Classic Electric) design to the SE Series for the first time in a stripped-down, all-mahogany format. Whether you're a beginner looking for a serious first guitar or a pro needing a reliable backup, the SE CE 24 Standard offers exceptional value without compromise.

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 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

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 Standard 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.
