Come on, now that it&#39;s been a year since I have, it is time to notice :-)
Well, it&#39;s a PRS CE24 Mahogany body, therefore, reported in table Saddle Flamm round stocky, rosewood fingerboard. Bolt with a big plate mtallique derrire indicating the MODEL and the serial number. Obviously, it is made to US, only plant in the PRS, also I recommend watching the "PRS DVD" o there is a guided tour of the factory is trs INTERESTED, especially for budding luthiers ;-)
In short, if the bridge is a floating tremolo, it is associated with blockages of mcaniques PRS, TRS small and lightweight, nut in I-know-what-not black, quite frets flat pitch 25 ", two humbuckers.
Bass is a "vintage bass", friendly, and treble is a "HFS" (read "Hot, Fat and Scream"): a knob rotary switches between one and one and diffrent combinations of each split, allowing for out-of-phase sounds nice (I have no Start to compare, and I think that the aficionados of the strat would cry hrsie :-)). The shot of the button is nice to look but not very practical in live! I rarely changes of micro, so it is not a problem for me. Large strap buttons are complter all, and if not ... That&#39;s it!
Needless to say, the look is hell I in "royal blue", so no false-binding (as found on most other colors) and black contours of microphones: changs for crme, the guitar is really beautiful, with a wooden ond of the most remarkable.

UTILIZATION

Then the handle is in profile "wide thin", which means typ end, without being an Ibanez not handle attention! Trs is enjoyable to touch and glides smoothly (for me anyway). Note: be careful to polish the handle: it can perform all necessary chemically with the plastic of some stand as Klawn made the exprience: can not remove, so be careful! For me no problem note, it&#39;s always in his holster comes with, and it will be ending for the wall: D
Finally on the handle: Some have noticed in photos of the back of the guitar that the heel of the neck junction with the body is quite prominent: for my part, ca does not play at all in the comfort or &#39;Access in dernires boxes. In fact I can play quietly on the boxes 24 and company without feeling the heel, but some n&#39;apprcient not ...
For my part I do not use the vibrato, but the little I have done shows that the agreement is good, and with a 9-42 game, the strings do not move. I pass quickly in 10-46, and by a bend back against a little vibrato, and thus alter the accuracy of a few other strings until the bend is required but ... I think they do a lot of dsormais PRS with fixed bridge. Now that does not rglage individual intonation, except on the Tremonti Signature, so it&#39;s your choice!
There is a dcoupe stomach, and the table is bomb. A special feature of PRS is the kind of edge around the perimeter of the body: ca Drout a little beginners because the arm rests on a lgre edge, but it is easy to forget Once the guitar part ...
I am tempted to 9.5 given AC, but hey, given all, it will be 10

SOUNDS

Let the sound .. the principal!
So much to say that with this combination of pickups is perfect, or almost! I play mostly rock / mtal, but also some blues, and stuff in the clear micro cartonnent. The grave is serious, but enough to not be dtach drooling is the one I like least. The knob to switch between various positions, for my part my APRS prfre is dernire (single humbucker bridge) that has a real personality and prsence an attack and a sound that j &#39;apprcie really, and goes well with the guitar trs. APRS, I like the sound of the off-phase medium, which should combine the indoor coil of each of the humbuckers, dphases. Trs is soft, and is well suited for bluesy plans.
The EC22, violin identical (except that 22 boxes instead of 24) have microphones Different. I rcupr a pair of those famous "Dragon II", and I can compare the near future. My first attempt gave me an impression of less sharp, more vintage, for the Dragons, the HFS as a sharper and more rock / metal.
Report my needs and in view of the versatile I put 10.

OVERALL OPINION

It&#39;s been a year now so I use this gem, and even if I have a PRS dj, always make me something special to play a PRS CE24 that&#39;s a, a Custom, or McCarty. These are really exceptional guitar, and I saw the DVD to better understand the passion of the people who dveloppent these guitars and make them. There is a kind of thing mystrieux happens when you play it, it&#39;s really special, and I have found at various locations on any guitar, Chres as cheap ...
Yes, it&#39;s a bit expensive for a guitar or even trs expensive. But it is a truly exceptional quality, there is NO default, and the sound is magnificent. I could see (and play) a EC22 which is 8 years old: the color is going on (all the time out of the tui in the sun), but the sound is always the quality is identical In short ... ca pte.
In short, do not try, you will want to buy APRS ... I know that&#39;s what I did!
