PRS CE 24 Sprayer's Choice | Black Gold Sparkle Gold Burst

The CE 24 has always been the PRS for players who like a little extra snap under their fingertips. By pairing a bolt on maple neck with the classic maple over mahogany recipe, it keeps everything people love about PRS while adding a quicker attack and a little more bite. To me, it's one of the most versatile guitars PRS has ever built.

This one, though, is something special. As a Sprayer's Choice, the PRS finish artist was given complete creative freedom to step outside the standard catalogue and create a genuine one off. I honestly think this is one of the most unique and gorgeous CE 24s we've had in a very long time. It starts as a deep black sparkle, but the real magic happens around the edges, where an elegant gold burst fades in from the perimeter. It's subtle enough to look classy from across the room, yet as soon as the light catches it, the gold comes alive and completely transforms the guitar. You'll find yourself tilting it back and forth just to watch it happen.

Flip it over and PRS made exactly the right call. Instead of trying to compete with the top, they left the mahogany back completely natural. Personally, I love the contrast. The warmth of the wood against the black and gold sparkle makes the whole guitar feel more refined. It’s good. It’s very, very, good.

Underneath the finish is everything that has made the CE 24 a modern classic. The 85/15 pickups cover everything from sparkling cleans to saturated lead tones with ease, while the bolt on maple neck, PRS tremolo, and locking tuners make it an effortless player's guitar. In my opinion, this is a definite 1 of 1. I wouldn't be surprised if you never came across another CE 24 quite like it.
