The PRS CE 24 Special in Sprayer’s Choice “Mermaid Sparkle Fade” is an outright visual assault—in the best possible way. A true 1-of-1, this guitar comes from PRS’s exclusive Sprayer’s Choice program, where the finish artist is given total freedom to ignore convention and create something unforgettable. No repeats. No safety net. Just pure creativity.
The result is completely unhinged: a green-to-yellow metallic sparkle fade that explodes under light. The flake is dense, deep, and hyper-dimensional—shifting constantly as you move the guitar. Greens flash, yellows ignite, and the sparkle seems to float above the surface. Photos don’t stand a chance here; in person, it’s almost disorienting how alive this finish feels.
Under the wild exterior is the unmistakable CE 24 Special platform, delivering the snap, attack, and immediacy CE fans swear by. A Flame Maple select top paired with a Mahogany back provides punch and warmth, while the bolt-on maple neck finished in satin black feels absolutely incredible in the hand—fast, smooth, and friction-free, encouraging effortless movement up and down the neck. The Pattern Thin carve keeps everything sleek and addictive, and the East Indian Rosewood fretboard with Bird inlays adds a familiar PRS feel beneath the chaos.
Tonally, it’s as versatile as it is outrageous. The 85/15 TCI humbuckers in the neck and bridge deliver everything from pristine cleans to modern punch, while the NS-01 single coil in the middle adds glassy, Strat-like sparkle. The switching opens up a massive palette of usable sounds—this thing doesn’t just look special, it earns the name.
Finished with Nickel hardware, a PRS tremolo, and housed in a Premium Gigbag, this CE 24 Special is the rare guitar that checks every box: outrageous looks, serious versatility, and true one-off status. If you want a CE that no one else on the planet will ever own—or even see again—this is it.
