Champagne Electrics CE24&22's

I know Serg that my Scarlett one is your favorite, but this is the one that started it all for me, and probably the one I would grab first (at worst second) in the "burning house" scenario...

It's so hard to pick a favorite, I want all of your CE's, hell... I want ALL THE CE's!!!!!! Digging the mineral streaks on that top too!

CE24 fan here as well - I've got two. If it weren't for this model, there's a good chance I never would have bought any PRS guitars, as the other USA models were always too expensive. The first is the first PRS I bought (used, a few years ago). I've Lifeson-o-fied it by replacing the winged tuners with the Phase IIs and putting in a 3-way toggle. I've got the original HFS, but the 59/09 sounds so good so I kept it in there. It's a '97, mahogany/maple.

My other CE24 I bought from the person who posted about it in his NGD in this thread:

I wasn't looking for another guitar, but the price was so good I had to get it. It is in the process of being Lifeson-o-fied as well. Once it's done I'll post some pics.

(Hint: it'll look just like the guitar discussed here: http://prsguitars.com/forum/showthr...-you-tell-me-about-Alex-Lifeson-s-black-CE-24)

It's a '93, alder/maple, 7.5 lbs of rawk!

OK if this thread is the "post your obligatory CE pics" thread, I'm going to obligatorily post my CE pics! This is now my #1. It is a '97 CE22 that has a bit of history. Supposedly the only CE ever produced with a maple board and black birds, it somehow ended up being owned by Howard Leese for a while, hence the last pic. Originally it had a satin finish but got sent back to the factory at some point to be refinished in a nice gloss black. After playing it with the pu covers for the last few months that I've owned it I decided to take them off to get a bit more edge to the tone, so it now looks like the first pic.

Love that blackbird!! That's truly what I want - not only that one in particular, but a CE 22 with a wide fat neck and maple fretboard. They're so rare, though. I don't want to have to buy a CE and a SAS and swap necks, but I know that has been done.

Nice set up. Love the VHT, used to have that amp. A little trick for you to try....turn that global master volume up to about 2-3:00 then use you individual channel volumes to set your actual volume. You will get the "cranked" amp tone at any volume that way.

I have '98 CE24 in that same color. My first PRS and main guitar for over a decade. Mine's in need of some serious TLC and some fret work, but I'll never sell it and hope to get it rocking again soon. Sorry no pics!

Ship her off to the PTC. She'll come back like new.
