Add the 25-inch scale, 24-fret layout and PRS Patented Tremolo, and the SE CE 24 Standard becomes a highly capable all-rounder for rehearsals, recording and live performance. A PRS gig bag is included.

At A Glance

What Makes the PRS SE CE 24 Standard Special?

The CE concept is built around bolt-on neck construction, giving the guitar a lively attack and immediate response while retaining the familiar feel and design language of PRS. Here, an all-mahogany body with a thin satin finish is paired with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. The maple neck receives a smooth semi-gloss finish, while the Wide Thin profile and 24-fret layout make the instrument comfortable for rhythm playing, bends and technical lead work.

Its pair of 85/15 “S” pickups provides excellent clarity across both the high and low frequencies, with enough power for driven sounds without losing definition. Pulling the tone control changes the pickups to their coil-tapped mode, providing brighter, leaner sounds alongside the full humbucker voices. Together with the PRS Patented Tremolo, this gives the SE CE 24 Standard considerable versatility from a simple control layout.

Who Is It For?

The PRS SE CE 24 Standard is an excellent choice for guitarists who want the feel and versatility of a PRS but particularly enjoy the faster attack of a bolt-on neck guitar.

It is especially well suited to:

• Rock and alternative guitarists

• Blues players

• Indie and pop musicians

• Players moving up to their first serious PRS

• Guitarists who need both humbucker and coil-tapped sounds

• Musicians who prefer a Wide Thin neck

• Players who need 24-fret access

• Guitarists who use expressive tremolo effects

• Home and studio recording

• Regular rehearsal and live performance

Why Choose a Bolt-On 24-Fret Guitar?

Bolt-on construction is often appreciated for its immediate attack and responsive feel. Notes can have a strong initial definition that works particularly well for rhythm playing, articulate clean sounds and gain-driven parts where separation between notes matters.

A 24-fret fingerboard provides a full two-octave range on every string, giving lead players additional upper-register access. The SE CE 24 Standard combines these characteristics with PRS's 25-inch scale length, creating a versatile instrument that feels equally comfortable handling chord work and modern lead playing.

PRS SE CE 24 Standard vs SE Custom 24

Both guitars offer 24 frets, a 25-inch scale, 85/15 “S” pickups and PRS tremolo hardware, but their construction creates a different playing experience. The SE CE 24 Standard uses a bolt-on maple neck and all-mahogany body, producing a direct and immediate response, while the SE Custom 24 uses set-neck construction along with its maple-topped mahogany body. Players who prefer bolt-on attack and a more understated workhorse specification may find the CE particularly appealing.

PRS 85/15 “S” Pickups

The PRS 85/15 “S” pickups are voiced for clarity, balance and extended response at both ends of the frequency range.

In full humbucker mode, the bridge pickup has the punch and definition required for riffs, driven rhythm work and lead tones, while the neck delivers a fuller response for clean playing, blues and smoother lead sounds.

Engaging the push/pull tone control accesses the coil-tapped voices, adding brighter and more articulate options when a less powerful pickup sound is required.

Wide Thin Bolt-On Maple Neck

The Wide Thin neck profile is one of PRS's more streamlined neck shapes, designed to provide comfortable access for players who enjoy a relatively slim front-to-back feel.

Its bolt-on maple construction contributes to the SE CE 24 Standard's direct response, while the 25-inch scale and 10-inch-radius rosewood fingerboard create a versatile platform for chords, bends and lead techniques.

With 24 frets, players also have access to a complete two-octave range on each string.

Thin Satin Mahogany Body

The SE CE 24 Standard uses an all-mahogany body with a thin satin finish rather than the maple-topped construction found on models such as the SE Custom 24.

The thin finish allows the natural character of the mahogany construction to remain central to the instrument, delivering a warm and focused foundation that complements the brighter attack of its bolt-on maple neck.

The Ice Blue Metallic finish adds a bold contemporary appearance while retaining the understated feel of the Standard platform.

PRS Patented Tremolo

This version of the 2026 SE CE 24 Standard features the PRS Patented Tremolo, giving players access to expressive pitch effects from subtle vibrato and chord shimmer through to more noticeable pitch movement.

This should not be confused with the separate SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail Satin, which uses a fixed stoptail bridge.
