USED Paul Reed Smith (PRS) / 1997 CE 24 Maple Top Orange Wide Thin Neck [03]

The CE 24, manufactured in 1997 at the Stevensville, Maryland factory like the Core models, has arrived! This popular model features a maple neck with a bolt-on joint.
Unlike current models, it features a deeper top arch and boasts a look that rivals the Core model!

CE 24
Featuring a maple top, mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard, and a satin-finished maple neck, it offers a smooth texture and outstanding playability. Bolted to the body, it produces a crisp, sparkling sound with a solid core, characteristic of the Custom Series.

Neck Shape
Features a "Wide Thin" neck profile. This wide, thin-profile grip is ideal for fast playing and lead work.

Pickups
It features the classic "HFS and Vintage Bass" pickups. The HFS pickup, standing for Hot, Fat, Screams, is an evolution of the original Standard Treble pickup. It delivers a powerful sound with a balanced blend of attack, clear highs, punchy mids, and strong lows. The Vintage Bass pickup is characterized by its warm high-mid sound, perfect for rock and jazz.

PRS has been beloved by guitarists across genres for years. You'll experience maximum performance in live shows, sessions, recordings, and beyond.

Condition
The finish shows signs of cloudiness, minor paint chips, and dents, along with some discoloration on parts, reflecting normal wear for its age. All playing-related aspects, including the neck, frets, and truss rod, are in perfect working order.
Additionally, upon arrival, our repair center performed a full adjustment and fret leveling, so you can use it with confidence.

Originally equipped with a 5-way rotary switch, it has been replaced with a 3-way toggle switch. Additionally, two pots and the strap pin have been replaced.

Condition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches present, but no issues for normal use.
