Is the PRS SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail worth $499?

At $499 at Guitar Center as of November 4, 2026, it is a strong value for a US-brand-designed, import-built guitar with a coil split and gig bag. Comparable hardtail double-cuts often cost more.

How does it differ from the SE Custom 24?

The CE has a bolt-on maple neck and a satin finish, while the Custom 24 uses a set neck and gloss finish. The CE is generally the cheaper, brighter-sounding option.

Does it have a tremolo?

No. This is the Stoptail version with a fixed PRS bridge with brass inserts. A tremolo version of the CE 24 exists separately.

The guitar and a PRS gig bag. No case or extras beyond the factory setup and 9-42 strings.

Is the neck good for small hands?

The Wide Thin profile is slim front to back but fairly wide at 1 11/16 inches at the nut. Players with small hands often find it fast; those who prefer chunky necks may not.

Our take on the PRS SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail Satin

The PRS SE CE 24 Standard Stoptail is a bolt-on, double-cutaway electric with a mahogany body, maple neck and rosewood board, built in PRS's import SE line. It pairs two 85/15 "S" humbuckers with a push/pull coil split and a PRS Stoptail bridge with brass inserts, and it comes in a satin finish at about 6 lb 3 oz. The Wide Thin neck and 25-inch scale make it a fast, familiar player. At $499 at Guitar Center as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, with five stores pricing it new.
