PRS SE CE 24 Standard Satin Electric Guitar

Originally introduced in 1988, the CE has become an essential part of the PRS line-up, offering the snap and response of bolt-on construction. The SE CE 24 Standard Satin is the most affordable CE yet, pairing an all-mahogany body with a bolt-on maple neck. The mahogany body features a thin satin finish that results in a highly resonant instrument, and the maple neck’s semi-gloss finish provides a smooth playing feel. The PRS 85/15 “S” pickups provide extended high and low end with clarity and balance, while the push/pull tone control adds the versatility of coil taps.
This workhorse instrument delivers looks, tone, and playability, and is a great option for beginning players through professional musicians thanks to its high-quality build and popular price tag.

I love my PRS SE CE 24 Vintage Cherry Satin that I bought in last February..... It feels good, plays well, is only 7.2lbs, love the finish and 10 radius. Finally PRS makes a lovely guitar for those who cannot spend $$$ ! All guitars can play all genres... tone, tone, tone ..and with the push/pull feature, that can easily happen !

Guitars don't have to be expensive to be awesome! This is an awesome guitar.
-
Satin finishes are so under rated. I have a few US CE 24's (various pickups and dealer exclusive finishes etc.) In today's market, 499 for that guitar is an insane value.
-
I paid that price for as SE one when they came out like 100 years ago(it was also a great guitar) This guitar for the price in 2024 with a bag is amazing
-
This is my third PRS. Unfortunately I had to sell my USA made and Korean made SE, years ago, as I went through a rough financial patch. Now I own a brand new PRS SE CE 24 and could not be happier -- it really is exquisite and I play to slowly upgrade the hardware.

It’s actually pretty awesome. I had a set of PRS 85/15 laying around so I decided to buy one and it was very cool!
-
I put SD 59s in mine, the guitar is totally worth the upgrade and I play it with my Custom Shop Stat and Les Pauls happily! It is not out of place...
-
I bought a 2014 gibson LPJ back in 2014, this was my first "real" guitar. It came in a very similar finishing. Had this been a thing in 2014, I'd be all over it. Honestly it's a great guitar
-
I clicked on this because of Baxter’s “oh,” face when playing that PRS.
-
Have you ever used the bird inlays, in an on stage setting? They really help with fretboard visibility, especially if you’re the singer! My experience, of course…
-
The SE CE 24 with the maple cap has been reduced to £529 in the UK probably as PRS know they’d never shift them with these satin monsters on the go !!
-
Can I get one in white?
-
I've had to get mine replaced under warranty, it's had an insane amount of noise coming off the Tremolo Springs. Could hear it through the amp and even without.
-
One of the best values was PRS S2, American Made Version of PRS, and a Guitar you should keep an eye out for
-
I guess now im going to have to get one of these . Love the satin finish. Would compliment my USA made CE!! Im blaming you--- Casino!!!! Lol
-
Not a big fan of Satin but the Sandblasted ones sure are attractive.
-
I'm 65 years old and own a few PRS guitars so this is not my first guitar. But it's a great instrument nevertheless.
-
Cool review. Wish there was someplace near me to check out how it plays. You also interested me in the PRS strat copy. And, I'm also jonesing to check out an Epiphone Les Paul Junior. The problem is which one will have the magic. Can't tell without laying hands on the real deal.......solve that problem....please.

Those 85 15s are so hot. Not as hot as the HFS VBs i have from the early 90's but they rip.
-
I was trying to find the specs on those pickups, and apparently there's a fairly wide tolerance from the manufacturer, so the resistance from one to the next could vary fairly significantly. Hence why you might really dig one set, but then someone else does not really dig the set they got.
