We got in a couple new CE24's at my work. So I decided to take it for a spin. It was fantastic! Super playable and just a great vibe. You definitely hear and feel the maple bolt on neck difference. And it's a good thing! I really enjoyed it.
The body carve difference isn't huge, but noticable if your looking for it. I'm also a little perplexed why they chose the SE trem instead of core. Obviously for cost reasons, but for something that plays and feels like a core, why not go all the way?
Anyway if you get a chance to check them out, you should. I know some people say why not find a clean, used older model CE. I dunno man, these guitars just keep getting better and better. I don't know how they do it, but they do.
And as a side note, I just wanted to voice my appreciation for PRS pickups. I hated them when I first started playing PRS. I'm sure my ear has changed over the years as well, but I feel like since the 57/08's, they just have it figured out. I was blown away at my connection with the 57/08's immediately. It was like, whoa!! These new CE's are 85/15's right? They sounded great. I would need to try it through my rig at home to see the difference but they sure worked for me at the time.
Good job PRS. Keep making the right moves.
