Help identifying new guitar please.

Hi, I bought my first (pre-owned) PRS a couple of days ago. It was advertised as "American PRS CE Black Satin Nitro Finish 85/15 Pickups Limited Edition"

The model I thought it was turns out to have different pickups and a maple top, whereas mine is a single piece body - it looks identical to this one:

2021 PRS CE 24 Standard Satin Nitro Charcoal

2021 PRS CE 24 Standard Satin Nitro Charcoal Ish Guitars Exclusive Run limited of just 25 pieces! The PRS CE 24 has the best value in PRS's USA made lineup. On this Ish Exclusive, we wanted to bring even MORE value to this CE series, heres how we did it: 1. We opted for an open pore (no grain...

So do I have a CE24 Standard? A CE24 Standard Limited? (which doesn't make sense as a name, but never mind). I'd never heard of CE24 Standard until today, does it mean it has CE24 hardware with a solid mahogany body?

Many thanks in advance for your insight

I'm not sure if it is a Limited, but if it has is all mahogany with no maple cap, it is a Standard. Fun guitar, for sure.

Thanks @bodia. Any idea what would make it a Limited, as the seller claims?

You're welcome. I would say "Limited" due to it being part of a 25 guitar run for a dealer with only 5 of each color.

Thanks again @bodia. I'm in the UK, I've found this this dealer page which suggests that there were also only 25 of each colour available in Europe... sounds plausible I guess.

Exactly as said above Ish did a special order of limited run of all hog bodies with open pore satin finishes. It's been done for quite a few dealers as well. Some have black satin finished necks and/or 5708 pickups as well. There's a few finish options out there depending on which run and where.

Cool guitars.

Thanks @SinSir . It's the best guitar I own by far - I had thought it would be my guitar to end all others, but having seen some of the Private Stock photos on this forum, I'm worried it might just be a gateway guitar!

PRS multiply like Gremlins slowly kicking any other guitars out of the house..

Gateway, for sure. The slope is very slippery
