NGD - CE 24 SH (My first USA PRS)

[mjmartin]

Hello everyone!

I never expected this day would come but here we are! Recently I was lucky enough to receive some nice bonuses at work and once I added them to my savings I decided it's time. I love my SEs but I just wanted something more. And I got to a point when I could even get my dream guitar - CE 24. Well, I just couldn't get rid of the feeling, that I really want this guitar so last week I finaly ordered one, and it arrived today. Man, I was shaking as I was opening the box .

It took only about 30 seconds of noodling and I understand the hype about US made PRSs now. I'm not sure I will be able to look at my SEs the same way again .
This guitar feels and sounds incredible. I absolutely love it and can't put it down. I'm still in a disbelief, that I was able to get this guitar, it really is a teenage dream come true.

Anyway, here are some photos. I got the Faded Gray Black finish, and it looks amazing.

Nice one and congrats!!! You are right, the feeling is very different.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised. I always liked my SEs, but this is just so much better. I did't expect this much of a difference. It really makes the guitar worth the money.

Nice

Congratulations, what a beauty.

Don’t give up on the SE’s they’re still great guitars.

V Cool! Generally not a fan of the grey staining, but I really like this one!! Congrats on a great score!!!

Congrats! They're phenomenal guitars! Look at upgrading the saddles and tone blocks later on down the road. I did that to my CE24 after owning it for about 6 years and didn't realize how much it improved and already phenomenal guitar.

Enjoy!

Very nice! Does it sound a little like an ES-335?
