Key Features
The PRS CE24 Special Limited Edition in Faded Blue Smokeburst combines the classic snap of a bolt-on design with the expansive tonal versatility of a hum/single/hum pickup configuration. Built with a mahogany body and violin-carved maple top, this guitar delivers rich resonance, balanced warmth, and clear articulation. The bolt-on maple neck adds brightness and attack, giving the CE platform its distinctive response while maintaining the refined feel PRS instruments are known for.
Equipped with PRS 85/15 humbuckers in the neck and bridge alongside an NS-01 single-coil in the middle position, the CE24 Special offers a broad palette of tones. The 5-way blade switch and push/pull tone control unlock a wide range of sounds, from full-bodied humbucker power to glassy single-coil clarity. Paired with a comfortable Pattern Thin neck profile, PRS patented tremolo bridge, and Phase III locking tuners, this limited edition model is designed for players who demand versatility, precision, and performance.

The CE24 Special Limited Edition expands the CE platform with a highly flexible humbucker/single-coil/humbucker pickup configuration. PRS 85/15 humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions deliver powerful output with exceptional clarity and extended frequency response, while the NS-01 middle pickup adds classic single-coil sparkle and articulation. With the 5-way blade switch and push/pull tone control, players can easily move between thick humbucker drive, bright single-coil textures, and balanced combined tones. This expanded switching system makes the guitar capable of covering an enormous range of musical styles, from clean funk rhythms and classic rock crunch to modern high-gain lead tones without needing additional pedals.
True to the CE lineage, the bolt-on maple neck provides a lively attack and clear note separation that sets the series apart from set-neck PRS models. This construction adds extra snap and articulation while maintaining the warmth and sustain of the mahogany body and maple top. The result is a guitar that blends the punch and immediacy of bolt-on designs with the smooth tonal balance and refinement that PRS instruments are known for. Players benefit from a fast transient response that keeps complex chords clear and defined, particularly when using lower-gain or rhythm-focused amplifier settings.
The Pattern Thin neck profile is built for speed and comfort across the entire fretboard. Its slim carve allows effortless movement for technical passages, fast runs, and expressive bends. The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard extends the instrument's range while maintaining a smooth, responsive playing surface. Combined with the satin nitro neck finish, the CE24 Special feels fast and comfortable in the hand during long playing sessions. The ergonomic shaping encourages relaxed hand positioning, making it easier to maintain precision and control during demanding live performances or extended rehearsal sessions.
The CE24 Special is fitted with PRS hardware designed for reliability and performance. The PRS patented tremolo bridge delivers smooth action while maintaining excellent tuning stability and tonal transfer. Phase III locking tuners with wing buttons make string changes quick and efficient while helping the instrument stay precisely in tune. Together these components provide dependable performance whether playing live, recording, or practising at home. Their lightweight design also helps maximise resonance, allowing the guitar to respond more dynamically to subtle variations in picking technique.
