PRS Ce24 Cc Whale Blue Smokeburst

CE24: PRS DNA with the Response of a Bolt-On Neck

Within the PRS range, the CE24 holds a highly sought-after position: it retains the brand's typical aesthetics and craftsmanship while adopting the feel of a bolt-on neck appreciated for its immediate response. This approach provides a more "direct" grain under the fingers, a sharper attack, and an ideal tension feel for precise playing. Made in the USA, the CE24 is aimed at those who want the PRS signature (modern comfort, refined finishes, tonal balance) with an extra bite, equally comfortable on stage and in the studio.

A Versatile Electric Guitar for Demanding Players

The PRS CE24 Custom Color Whale Blue Smokeburst targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an electric guitar capable of covering a wide range of styles without sacrificing definition. Its 24 frets favor soloing, wide bends, and modern phrasing, while the PRS vibrato opens the door to nuances (vibratos, controlled dives, subtle effects). It excels in rock, hard rock, pop, funk, modern blues, and fusion, with a real advantage when switching from clean articulation to precise saturation.

Sound

The combination of a mahogany body and carved maple top provides a base that is both solid and expressive: full lows, present mids, and enhanced clarity in the highs to stay clear in the mix. The maple bolt-on neck adds clarity and a crisp attack, particularly effective for tight riffs, funk rhythms, or leads that need to "cut through" effortlessly. On the electronics side, the PRS 85/15 pickups offer a modern, balanced, and detailed sound: in humbucker mode, you gain density and sustain, and the push/pull allows switching to thinner, sharper textures, perfect for clean arpeggios and airy rhythms. With 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-position selector, it's straightforward with an immediately usable palette of sounds.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original setup, favor 10-46 gauge electric strings (nickel): this is the best starting point to maintain tension/vibrato balance and pickup response. A standard strap (with classic ends) and a set of picks with varying thicknesses effectively complete the setup, whether for rhythm playing or solos.
