The problem of making an offer, you are risking someone one else making a better offer or just buying during that 24 hour waiting period

I wish i could hear the difference of tones between those amps....😳

I have a 2019 CE-24 ...cost me $1999.00 new, in 2019 ... I am a bit surprised at how much they have gone up in price ....

It doubles as a radio or backing track. I've decided to bail on all chip and tube amps. Hand wired only, vintage or modern.

You sound like ya got cotton mouth!

Drink some water!

I bought a 2005 ce24...it still has the same curve and hardware as the custom 24 which they changed later on.

ground loop in the house

Great review. I am debating between an S2 and the CE, but leaning CE more and more. I need to get both in my hands back to back to compare. Tough to debate the tone and looks of these models.

Is a worldwide for shipping cost??

Hey not sure if you fix the problem yet or not, but I do know your solution. I am a licensed electrician and have fixed this problem in studios several times. The issue is the grounding system inside of your house. What you need is an isolated ground. Basically what that means is you buy an isolated plug, and inside that plug it has its own grounding system separate from your home. You plug that into your wall, plug your amp into that and that should totally fix the problem.

Thank you for showing the routing because I plan to DIY one of these with a shell pink MIM strat and I was curious what was under the hood.

I have a core CE24 and picked up an SE CE24. I wanted to compare and wow. I am very impressed that my SE keeps up with my core

It sounds like Custom 24 is not worth extra $2000 and CE24 is the way to go. What do you guys think?

agreed on the bridge upgrade. actually only saddles

PRS is the brand that got me to sell my Les Paul! 😂One thing though, how comfy is that sharp edge around the body?

Just Bought a '93 Deluxe reissue, Its immaculate condition but I guess it have the same problem like the new ones.. I can hear the tremolo and kind of a hiss when there is the reverb on.. I try to change the reverb tube and see what happens. I hope its not the caps or some burned resistance .. Then I have to take it to a repair shop..

I'm considering a 64HW Deluxe so was surfing YT. Ran across this and funny thing is my oId 73 Super Reverb pics up a Mexican radio station at times in my music room; none of my other amps (aII tube) do that. Something in there obviousIy filtering that one station.

I bought a used CE24 for some variety from my Gibsons. The Custom 24 is about $7,000 in my country. You need to change the bridge and I put a Super Vee Bladerunner into mine. I hated the 85/15 pickups on my CE24 as it sounds like a Strat through my Tone King amp. However, it sounded good through my Fender Princeton. My CE24 is a Swamp Ash Special, so it might be brought gatee than the heavier mahogany and maple models. The 85/15 pickups sound too hifi and bland to me. The CE24 is a great guitar and for $500, I turned it into an exceptional guitar.

I have a '17 CE-24. Love it. It's the go-to for sure. Good video.

You got radio with the cheaper one, that is a good deal😅

I’ve been waiting for a video where someone compares the sounds of these two amps. Thought I’d finally found it but it was just the radio interference you demonstrated. Interesting enough, but still waiting for that A/B test of the 65 RI v 64 handwired

I have 2 CE 24. One is a semi hollow and the other is a solid body. These are my favorite guitars. They have something all their own. I think every player should try them.

I had a 2002 ce24 that had the same specs, hardware, carve, quarter sawn neck, etc, as the core models. Old CE’s were really well made.

wow fender really dropping the quality

I don't know......looks Blue Jays blue to me😜 Nice guitars, I just got the same one in the eriza verde green. Pairs up with my Helix quite nicely.

Sweet amps! I had one that was my go-to amp about 20-years ago. One of the best do-all amps around IMO. Glad you figured out what was going on. That 64 must sound wonderful :D

Ahha-- I thought so-- a true Dodgers fan! :D Me too. That's sure a nice guitar. Actually, those are three nice guitars! Love these kind of videos, where it's just a regular guy talking about guitars; no pretense, just sharing the love for these wonderful instruments. Maybe I'll start a channel and pay it forward ;) Thanks for another enjoyable video~

Is that a Vin Scully bobblehead piloting the Fender amp behind you? :D I was raised on Vin's radio broadcasts, and to this day prefer to listen to ball games rather than watching them; Thanks Vin-- LOL! Great video covering the CE24. Just yesterday my very own (2022 model) arrived. I'm surprised by how much the body resonates, and how clear the pickups sound. Currently I'm playing through my old bass amp, so I'm on the hunt for an affordable, proper guitar amp (I'm returning to guitar after a 10-year absence). Time to go check out some of your other videos ;)

Radio interference is usually a ground loop of some sort. Essentially one of the grounds in your room aren't connected properly and making a big radio antenna... You can do a simple trick by buying one of those little gray two prong adaptors that cost $1 on the plug and see if it gets rid of the sound. I would recommend having an electrician come in and fix the issue because not having a good ground is a dangerous situation for surges or shorts. Not to sound condescending, but just finding an amp that doesn't present the issue is not the solution... Just my 2 cents

I know it sounds crazy but try it again without That acoustic guitar on the wall I feel like it's acting as an antenna even though it's not wired in

I just traded for a CE 24, to me and maybe it's because it's a 2020 model with the TCI version, the 85/15s sound quite different and much better than the ones in my Core C24 Piezo. Loving the neck as well in the CE, fantastic guitar, thanks for the video!

Is this alder or ash? Alder usually does not have such grain.

“That’s not a feature I wanted”……..😂

Does the hand wired 64 and 65 RI sound the same or do you find one to be better than the other in regards to tone?

I thought I was the only person who doesn't like binding on a guitar, what good does the plastic do?

Are you still hearing a white noise on ´64 version with reverb on 0? Im just wondering if its totally silent or if it gives you a some level of hiss. It goes worse when you turn up the treble or volume? thanks man!

It`s simple Fender sucks. High priced junk get a Marshall.

I bought mine used in the late 90's and it's been my main guitar ever since.

I dig the video! Can you tell me where you acquired the poster in the background? Thanks in advance!

Try changing the tubes

After being a Gibson and Fender guy for 25 years I decided to see what all the fuss was about with Paul Reed Smith. I was planning on getting a S2 custom 24 over the CE 24 but I happened to stumble across a new old stock 2019 CE 24 at my local shop. It was the gorgeous faded blue smoke burst and the nicest playing guitar I had ever had in my hands. The 85/15 pickups are so sweet, I had to have it! I still love my Fenders but I'm not sure I'll be keeping my Gibson's any longer.

Im a late bloomer too :)

just got my first PRS , a Bernie Marsden Sig, and im considering selling all my guitars and going FULL PRS now. Thanks for the info.

I have the semi-hollow body in Black..

Good video...

I like to clip the bight cap on the volume pot and take out the 2 extra bar magnets in the bridge pickup. The bridge comes with 3 alnico 2 magnets which make the tone extremely crips and clean for the high fi sound. Without them I feel like it matches the neck pickup more and feels more expressive.

What I think is that none of what you talked about is affordable to club musicians. . I would love to be able to buy a high end PRS with the upgrades but sadly it is never going to happen.

I use to drive a tow truck with CB radio. Channel 18 on a CB will output from amps. I've used it to call for help to call the fire department during a call. This was 1976 before cell phones.. lol

I have the 65 DRRI that sounds great and doesn’t get any interference. The 64 and the 68 are not reissues but are called Custom Deluxe Reverbs because they have reverb and tremolo on both the normal and bright channels.
