hello

I’m looking at purchasing a 2006 PRS CE 24 sight unseen, and was looking for some help on what is typical for neck joint gaps. Below are pictures of both sides. With Fenders I typically am used to a tighter looking joint whereas below seems to have a gap on both sides. Is this normal?

I can't tell by the picture, but in my experience CEs have a tighter neck joint than any Fender or Fender Custom Shop I've played.
 
Sounds like you guys are saying it looks fine. Tried to get some better pictures.
 
Yeah, I think it's more optical illusion than an actual gap.
Indeed. In the first large photo you posted, look at the top of the "gap" near the fretboard - you can see the wood of the body pocket curving tight to the neck. The line down from there is all shadow.
