NGD CE-24 Semi-Hollow

[mabands]

This is a 2020 CE-24 Semi-Hollow that I picked up recently. Really amazing guitar. This is my first experience with the 85/15 pickups and I'm liking them. Very versatile and lots of clarity as others have said.

Congrats! I agree with your pickup take, these 85/15's have kind of ruined it for me with others. Enjoy!

Very Pretty! Have fun with it. I'm very interested in what you think. I also just received a CE24 Semi Hollow a few days ago. I'll post my feelings after I play my first gig with it this weekend.

Honestly, I got lucky on the nice top. I had been looking for a CE-24 Semi-Hollow for a while and I saw one on the Guitar Center Used site at a good price and I took a chance.

So I saw this online:

My thoughts so far are that its a very lively guitar. Very resonant and bright acoustically. What I'm really enjoying is how well the pickups react to changes with the volume and tone knobs. I'm not finding anywhere on the knobs where I turn a couple spots and it still sounds the same. You can really dial it in.

I'm usually not big on split pickup sounds, but these are the best I've tried, the bridge in particular. Split it sounds like a tele. Where the sound gets addicting is with some gain. I don't play with high gain, but I love to stack different overdrives together and this guitar really shines when doing that. It has an evenness to the sound and no icepick highs.

Still in the honeymoon phase, but I'm thinking its a keeper.
