Hey all,
I'm new to the forums, but have been a lurker for many years. I'm getting back into guitar as I've primarily been playing bass for the past 5-7 years exclusively. I have a mid-range Gibson acoustic and a Gibson ES-335. What I'd like to do is pick up a PRS solid body--either a Custom 24 or CE24. Here in lies the problem... I can't make up my mind. Well almost... I was set on a used CE24, but I've read mixed reviews on it with the bolt-on neck, the corners they cut with the imported hardware, and gig bag instead of hard shell case, etc. Now I would REALLY love to get a Custom 24, but even a used one is quite expensive.
My question is really two-fold. Is the CE24 worth the money or is it cheaply made, and is the Custom 24 worth the jump in cost compared to a CE24. I used to have a stop tail Custom 22 but that was years ago, so I'm not really familiar with these other models. I've only done enough research to know it's one or the other. Thanks!
