Short story is, I traded my Titan Custom amp for this PRS CE24. Original owner had upgraded it with graphite saddles and Bareknuckle Ceramic War Pig in the bridge and Miracle Man in the neck.

Here is what it used to look like (among 2 more of his Mammoth brethren):



I did the trade as there was too foul a taste let in my mouth to keep the Titan. It did sound excellent and the build seemed solid. Anyway, when Ron at Mammoth Custom Guitars dropped off my ZW inspired Les Paul Custom (there was a big thread on it here), I asked him about making a new neck for the PRS as I just HATE dots on a PRS. I wanted something a bit fancy.

What we landed on:
• Cocobola neck with Maple inlay on the back
• Ebony Board
• Maple neck binding to match body
• Abalone birds

I had him copy the same profile on the PRS CE24 as that neck feels really nice in my hands. I think he nailed it.

Here are some more pics:























The neck feels awesome. Very fast and very comfy. One of the best bolt-on guitars I have ever played.
 
Sick. CE's are some of the best and most unique sounding PRSi ever... Not to mention the outstanding value. Hence the reason they were discontinued. S2's just aren't the same... There used to be a few people out there who offered high quality headstock decals, the cursive PRS one and also some modern eagle's if you ever get tired of the bare look. Also i think anything pre '95 CE had an alder body.

I almost had him put some sort of unlay in the headstock but decided against it at the last minute. I'll hit you up if I decide on the decal. Maybe a custom "MRS" ...
 
Thats awesome !... you still have the original neck by chance ?
 
I love the CE24's. I've had a total of 6, still have and probably forever will 2 of them, just great guitars. And you can get them used for under a grand, cant beat it!

And great job on that neck, looks killer!
