Here’s the differences between a PRS Core and a PRS CE24. 

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

I can’t say enough good things 🤘

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

S2s are great but the CE is a better guitar imo.

And includes a gigbag 😂

Who said anything about the SE? (and for what it's worth, the SE's are some of the best guitars in their price range. They're meant to be an affordable overseas counterpart. They aren't marketed as high end instruments).

@@transmundanemusic The SE line makes for great first guitars for beginners who want to play electrics.

Cort's Indo factory makes better guitars than Epiphone's china factory at least. And the fret work is usually nicer than the MiM Fender. However, quality of electronics is a little bit iffy, I prefer the electronics on Fender, switches and knobs feel more sturdy. I like PRS, just they increased their prices so much since 2017. Core model has gone up more than $1000 and the S2 has gone up $800.
