How does it differ from the PRS SE Custom 24?

The CE 24 Standard has a bolt-on maple neck, a flat top and a stoptail bridge, while the Custom 24 has a set neck, a carved top and a tremolo. The CE is snappier and simpler to keep in tune.

Does it have single-coil tones?

Yes. The tone knob pulls up to split the 85/15 "S" humbuckers into single-coil mode, giving brighter, thinner tones alongside full humbucker sounds.

Is the bridge a tremolo?

No. It has a PRS stoptail bridge with brass inserts, which is fixed and aimed at tuning stability and sustain.

How many frets does it have?

It has 24 frets on a rosewood fingerboard, giving two full octaves.

What comes in the box?

The guitar comes with a gig bag.

Is it good for beginners?

It is a solid first serious electric guitar: the fixed bridge is easy to maintain and the coil split covers many styles, though the 24-fret neck and price point suit players ready to commit.

About the PRS SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail Electric Guitar

The PRS SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail is a 6-string electric guitar with a solid mahogany body and a bolt-on maple neck. The wood combination is intended to give snap, clarity and warmth. A thin satin finish lets the wood resonate freely.

It has a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard and a PRS stoptail bridge, which increases tuning stability and sustain. Brass inserts in the bridge add brightness.

PRS 85/15 "S" pickups are controlled by a three-way toggle, a single volume knob and a push/pull tone knob. The push/pull coil split gives both humbucker and single-coil tones.
