The thing is satin finish and bolt on necks are not necessarily downgraded. I personally prefer both

Also pickup switch is bit different and split options are different, but CEs are really great value for money. Awesome guitars and some may prefer their split coil positions and satin maple neck more.

CE’s are a bargain. Great guitars. Upgrade the bridge to a Mann Made and you’ve got a top end guitar.

They should up the price $200 and give you a case. I went through hell getting an aftermarket case. Long story but problems with the case I got led to a return then problems with the delivery of the case replacement led to another headache. Too many phone calls and hassles for me to be completely happy with my CE purchase. I like the guitar but whoever made the decision at PRS to not include a case with a guitar that is over 3k with tax should be fired.

I have a 1999 ce 24 and it has the recessed tone and volume knobs, I feel like the older ones were closer to the core with the fully carved tops and the g&g hardshell case

@@ggreloaded5269 I wonder if they are cutting costs now. The recessed tone and volume knob is sharp.

@@jazzcat1056They definitely are the older ones have that solid core feel, American made bridge, one piece neck and the top locking tuners of its time. Only thing you did not get was binding and the bird inlays but mine was a limited run with the birds. New one are still a bargain but I agree with you the top violin carve is super sharp

That's what I love about my older CE22 (pre 2007), no downgrades as seen on the current production...

Price increases and downgrades suck. PRS used is probably the way to go.

For almost $3000, you’d think they’d give you a real case.

For 3000 $ you could get a fully decked Kiesel CT6. Does everything that the PRS does and has even superior specs like ss-frets, neck which is enhanced with dual carbon fiber rods like a Mayones and a proper trem system by Hipshot, not some cheapo SE bridge.

I love my ce24, got mine in aquamarine fire mist (basically a teal) but it doesn't have a figured top, it's just the solid wood, non gloss (which I love) Only thing, I had to file the hell out of the nut, because mine wouldn't stay in tune for crap. It does now though
