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
@@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 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
The thing is satin finish and bolt on necks are not necessarily downgraded.
I personally prefer both
CE’s are a bargain. Great guitars. Upgrade the bridge to a Mann Made and you’ve got a top end guitar.
The Core has recessed tone and volume knobs.

@@ggreloaded5269 I wonder if they are cutting costs now. The recessed tone and volume knob is 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.
Great guitar! I have a standard satin so it doesnt have a maple top
That’s a great guitar, PRS are on my bucket 🪣 list
I can’t say enough good things 🤘

I thought you were just going to show a stack of money. That’s the real difference.
For almost $3000, you’d think they’d give you a real case.
"This Suhr is my PRS CE 24"
US GUITAR WITH OVERSEAS PARTS FOR $3000😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
And includes a gigbag 😂
Gig bag is crazy
Why buy an CE just buy a S2
S2s are great but the CE is a better guitar imo.
