Hi folks,
just came here to say, I purchased my first PRS guitar about a month ago. It's a CE24, grey-black, dated Feb 14, 2017 (coincidentally the same date as my b-day).
I've been playing SG's for over 20 years. My favourite guitar. Have a Les Paul Studio for over 10. Bought a Tele Baja last year. All great guitars.
But nothing plays as well as my CE24. There's magic in that guitar. I can't put it down. It's just unreal. It's outstanding both in tone and feel. Jam nights haven't been the same since.
I play it through a Mark V 35 and it's just divine. Mostly classic rock-type stuff, but it's unbelievingly sweet and raunchy at the same time. Both the volume and the tone knobs are so sensitive, I have a ton of varieties of tone at hand.
My only complaint is that that the knobs themselves feel slightly cheap-ish (would prefer Tele-like knobs), and there needs to be some kind of grip for the pull-tone-knob - easy to slip when you're sweaty.
The thing about this guitar compared to all the others I have, and have played, is that I don't have to think about the mechanics of where I am on the fretboard. I can dive in and make music, rather than screw around with finger-placements.
Paul & co, regardless of expense, you have my undying gratitude. Please make a singlecut CE24. Ship it up here to Canada and I'll be the first in line.
Thanks.
