Lookin’ good!
HOLY UNICORN!! enjoy it!! I don’t ever recall seeing one with a stoptailI picked up a 1996 CE 24 today. It's an unusual one, with a stoptail, somewhat flamey neck, and all mahogany. I *think* it's a Regular neck, as the width at the nut is the same as my NF3. I don't recall reading about any CE 24s coming with a Regular neck then, though.
I found it on FBM, about half an hour away. Took about three weeks for the seller to decide that he was ok with taking $900 for it. The case is beat up, but the guitar is in really good shape with just "normal" nicks in the poly around a few spots on the edges. Frets are in great shape. The volume pot is a bit scratchy, but it's improved with a bit of exercise. Should be an easy fix.
I don't know that the pickups are VB and HFS, but they should be. I've played it for the last 45 minutes. I like it a lot so far. Later today or this week I'll give it a good cleaning, look under the hood, and put on some new strings. That'll be my first time using winged tuners, so that'll be something fun.

Is it a circuit board rotary or wafer? I can pot photos of the wafer one if it helps.
Oh man......I had been talking with that seller.
Don't really "need" another CE but for 900 i absolutely would have snatched it up.
Congratulations!
Sweet score! Don’t see many of those
Wow - $900 is an absolute STEAL. Great looking guitar. I love the "old" core CEs!900 is a steal! Some SEs are around that price wise....looks great!
