The PRS CE 24 Faded Grey Purple Burst is the perfect blend of PRS refinement and the addictive snap you only get from a bolt-on neck. Since the earliest days of rock and roll, bolt-on guitars have been a go-to for players chasing fast attack, crisp note separation, and that lively “string-to-speaker” response that sits beautifully in a band mix. The CE 24 captures that feel while keeping the signature PRS comfort, build quality, and versatility that working players rely on.
At the core is PRS’s proven tonewood recipe: a maple top paired with a mahogany back for a balance of brightness, warmth, and punch. The violin top carve adds to the classic PRS look and contributes to a resonant, dynamic voice. Where the CE 24 steps into its own is the bolt-on maple neck—tightening up the low end, adding sparkle up top, and giving chords extra definition. With a Pattern Thin carve and a satin nitro neck finish, it feels slick and broken-in straight away, ideal for modern lead work, big stretches, and long rehearsals.
Plug in and the PRS 85/15 pickups deliver clarity across an extended frequency range, making this guitar equally happy with edge-of-breakup tones, modern high gain, and clean textures that still feel full. The control layout is built for real-world use: volume and a push/pull tone control with a 3-way toggle switch, giving you six classic sounds in total. That means you can jump from thick humbucker drive to brighter, more open split-coil style tones without touching a pedal—handy for cover gigs, session work, worship rigs, and anyone who needs multiple voices on tap.
The PRS Patented Tremolo is designed for tonal fidelity and comfortable feel, with the kind of smooth action players love for subtle vibrato or expressive lines. PRS Phase III Locking Tuners with wing buttons keep tuning stable and make restringing quick and tidy—great for gigging musicians across Australia who want a dependable, no-fuss setup.
At Guitar World Gold Coast, the PRS CE 24 is a favourite for players who want PRS precision with a more immediate, bolt-on feel—perfect for tight modern rhythm parts, articulate cleans, and lead tones that pop in a live mix.
