Description: Up for sale, a 1990 Paul Reed Smith CE24 in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. An early PRS, this model was simply dubbed the CE Bolt-On in late ‘80s/early ‘90s catalogs, as the CE24 model designation had yet to be minted. Features include a Wide-Thin neck profile, HFS/Vintage Bass humbucker pair, PRS Tremolo system, and locking tuners. Tonewoods include an alder body, hard maple neck, and maple fingerboard, and this CE Bolt-On weighs 7lbs 2oz. The bridge position humbucker is an HFS (Hot, Fat, and Screams), a powerful pickup with an ideal balance of aggression, treble clarity, full lows and punchy mids, metering at 15k ohms. The Vintage humbucker in the neck position is akin to an overwound PAF, metering at 8.7k ohms, delivering the same midrange clarity, warmth, and harmonic richness as that iconic design with a hair more intensity and bite. The five-way rotary pickup selector knob offers both single coil and humbucker functionality, wired as follows: Position 1: Humbucking bridge pickup Position 2: Outside coils of both pickups in parallel Position 3: Series single coils Position 4: Parallel single coils Position 5: Humbucking neck pickup This CE Bolt-On has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
