I'm thinking about buying a black PRS CE 24. I can't get to play it first so I don't have any firsthand knowledge, but the seller says, that it is in very good condition and that it sounds good.
What's a fair price for it?
Thanks, price seems about right.
Does anyone own a CE from around this time, if yes can you recommend picking one up?
This one is from 2001
I think that’s a fair price. The one thing the new CE reissue did is raise the prices on the old ones. So whereas in the past, you’d say $1000 is the sweets spot for an old CE... time, inflation, and reality has marched forward.
Personally, I’d take a CE or a Standard over a Custom every day of the week.
But the question is, if it's in a good enough shape still to play well and therefore is worth the money? The seller writes that it's in great condition, but looking at the bridge e..g I'm not sure I agree
It looks like a CE-22,
and then again, maybe it's smarter to wait and then get a new CE at some point.
People say that the old CE's are basically a core but with a bolt on whereas the new CE's come with the cheaper Korean parts on them, but still, don't they feel and sound and function just as well as a 2005 in good condition?
