I think it was about a week ago that I snagged my S2 CU24 in whale blue and posted here. Well, I had a chance to snag a 1998 CE24 in tortoise shell and I went ahead and picked one up today.
Jumping right in, she shows her age, but in a good way. Currently it is setup with Dragon 1's, the tone control has a push/pull coil split that doesn't seem to function, and there was a Freeway 6 position switch installed. Thought I would love it, but honestly I'm just confused by it at the moment. Both pots are a bit noisy, and one of the positions on the Freeway cuts out. Thinking I might try to find a local tech that will install new quality pots and make this thing scream. I don't have a go to person for that stuff, so it might be a moment before I find someone I'm comfortable with in the are.
Any advice on the parts I should be looking to replace would be amazing. Here she is:
