Identifying difference in a core C24 and see c24

[Mattdave]

Hi,

New member, forgive my ignorance. I'm in the market, after years of being all in on Fender, for a core Custom 24. I think I have found one, but I don't know enough to tell if it is a s2 or a core c24. I just have seen pics so far. Owner hav it labeled as a ce22, but he is off. This is not a bolt on and has 24 frets with bird inlays. I know the price would normally tell the story, but this guy already shows he doesn't know what he has.

Any help would be nice and appreciated.

Thanks!!!

S2 will have a scarf joint at the headstock. Ce or Cu24 will have a deeper carve in the body. If you can get photos of the back of the headstock it will say S2 before the serial number IIRC.

Thank you so much! The SN prefix was right on the money. That solves the mystery.
