I have a PRS CE24 and it is wonderful !

I didn’t get the custom as it makes the same noises as the CE's though has the bird inlays (and costs more).

As Im more interested in the way the guitar sounds than the way it looks I went for the CE.

It is quite simply the best guitar I have played !

(Prev. Overwater, Gordon Smith, Fender, Lag, etc etc.)

I payed 1700 USD (list 2500 USD) and dont regret one cent !

Check out the reviews on Harmony Central !

Im thinking of getting an LP and quite honestly I'll be very surprised if it is better than the PRS !

Don’t expect it to sound like a strat or an LP and just enjoy the way it sounds. I personally love the vintage / Hot Fat Screams (HFS) pickup combination.

I couldn’t be happier with mine and I cant recommend them more highly. I play everything from Blues to Punk and it is a great all rounder !

I have 5 fender guitars (Mex, Tex-Mex and USA strat, a 72 reissue Tele and a 12 string) and the PRS is in a different league ! Mind you a CE24 is nearly twice the price of any of the Fender guitars I own.
