headstock looks a little funky to me

[thegarehanman]

I think what you're interpreting as "funky" is really just the headstock being tilted back.

so do u think its authentic excluding ther pickups and case? my real concern is that its a dillion or similar brand nockoff.

thanks, Adam

Looks real to me except for ONE thing... don't CE24s usually come with non-covered pickups (however, this is a slightly old guitar... so they maybe USED to come with covered? don'tk now?)

But hell, might be after market, etc. Looks good to me. If you're afraid, get it and I'll trade you my dinged up metalic purple PRS CE22 for it lol.

Guess you didn't read the auction. It doesn't have the original pickups. I can't help you beyond clarifying the headstock thing...I know very little about PRS'.

THE ELECTRICS ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL. THEIR GIBSON PICKUPS ACTUALLY. besides that how does it look. im worried its a dillion or another brand of cheap knock offs.

thanks, Adam

It all looks prefectly legit to me... why get all worried without any cause? The guy has good feedback, the listing and photo look genuine - why are you concerned?!?

[verhoevenc]

yeah, i just loooked at the picturesw, didn't read it. but yeah, it look EXACTLY like my CE22 (plus the extra two frets lol of course)

I'm pretty sure it's legit

i heard theirs alot of fraud on ebay involving prs guitars. another prs i bid on was puulled for fraud. im paranoid by nature too i guess,

thanks, Adam

[Setch]

im paranoid by nature too i guess

Gee, you think?

[verhoevenc]

like i said, if you feel uncomfortable i'll trade ya and get a GREAT deal out of it. you'll get a PRS with 22 frets and several chips in the paint and a solid color.... but 100% sure it's PRS, and i'll get a SWEET green flame toped 24 fret

lol, ie: chill out, it's a bitchin' guitar.

Looks fine bar the pickups. but do me a favour, put the original pickups back in. Gibson pickups in a PRS..... pffftttt.... what's the world coming to?

Hope you enjoy the guitar

i plan on it once i get some more cash and going back to the 5way prs switch. holidays put a drain on the funds. i plan on puting the gibson pickups in my epiphone les paul standard.

thanks adam

[crafty]

C'mon...Gibson pickups aren't that bad. You might actually like how they sound in that guitar, too. Stock CE and Custom 24s are a little too bright for my tastes, so I think I'd like the Gibsons in there, myself.

[Mickguard]

Anyway, you bid on the thing, it's yours now.

[marksound]

Dude, the auction ended a week ago and you're just now worrying if it's for real?

Sheesh.

[Maiden69]

It looks real to me, but I was under the impression that PAul have been using compensated nuts on his guitar for about a decade or more now? That one looks like a regular. Other than that, you can check the SN on the PRS site or e-mail them...

thanks, Adam

You'll Just have to wait 'till it gets to you. It looks real to me. But it is slightly modified.

[possum1284]

i got my cce24 today, it's impressive. my main corcerns are as follows: is this a finish defect or the wood grain wood grain or finish problem

Also does the neck seem bowed a little near the nut( area circled in red)? are all ce necks this dark in color? neck

thanks, Adam

[thegarehanman]

Looks like the 'defect' you mentioned is just some wear and tear from the previous owner's arm resting there. Things like that should be expected when buying a used guitar. Does the neck feel bowed? Does the action reflect a bowed neck? Is there any fret buzz. You're giving us very little to work on here. I think you're getting really paranoid about this thing. You bought it, you live with it. It seems like you got a good deal.

the finish issue i was not refdferin to the dings. i ment the circlur pattern is that a finish error or the grain of the wood?

thanks, adam

[thegarehanman]

When did I say anything about dings, and how would you put dings in the guitar from resting your arm on it? The circular pattern is exactly what I was reffering to. Common sense would lead you to believe that that circular pattern is right below where your arm rests on the guitar. Accordingly, it's most likely a wear mark.

[mikhailgtrski]

That "circular pattern" is the normal grain of the maple. It's usually more noticeable before the dye is applied. When the top is dyed the flame/quilt figure becomes more prominent and you don't notice the grain lines. But not always - it varies from piece to piece.
