CE 24 Semi-Hollow
Classic CE Character with Semi-Hollow Style
Combining the snap and sustain of a bolt-on guitar with the airy resonance of a semi-hollow body, the CE 24 Semi-Hollow is a truly unique addition to the PRS Bolt-On lineup. The body pairs the traditional combination of a mahogany back and maple top with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The neck features a Pattern Thin carve and satin nitro finish for a natural, addictive feel. The electronics consist of a volume and push/pull tone control with a 3-way toggle switch, giving a total of six classic sounds from the PRS 85/15 pickups.
The original CE was introduced in 1988, offering players traditional PRS design and quality with the added snap and sparkle of a bolt-on guitar.

Accolades
“Clear, balanced humbuckers contrasted by the slightly sharper attack of the cleaner, lighter partial single-coil splits…it’s a faultless performance.”

“Delivering an impressive balance of brilliance, clarity, body and breadth, the PRS CE 24 Semi-Hollow is an incredibly responsive, dynamic electric that can sound surprisingly fierce, yet satisfyingly familiar.”
