PRS CE24 Special Sprayer's Choice Electric Guitar - Black Gold Metallic | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The PRS CE24 Special Sprayer's Choice represents a handpicked exceptional finish personally selected from production by PRS's master painter as one of their favorite guitars. This limited bolt-on electric guitar showcases a mesmerizing Black Gold Metallic finish with dynamic sparkle that shifts from deep black with gold highlights at distance to brilliant gold sparkle with hints of green up close. Combining a flame maple top, mahogany body, and versatile three-pickup configuration with 85/15 TCI humbuckers and NS-01 middle pickup, this instrument delivers professional-grade tone and playability for discerning players who appreciate both sonic excellence and stunning visual artistry.
Product Overview
The CE24 Special foundation features a solid mahogany body capped with a select flame maple top, finished in the eye-catching Black Gold Metallic Sprayer's Choice finish. This unique metallic treatment creates a shifting visual experience—appearing predominantly black with gold-tinted sparkle from a distance, then revealing dramatic gold metallic sparkle with subtle green undertones when viewed up close. The premium finish application showcases the figured maple grain beneath while delivering PRS's renowned depth and luster. At 7.53 pounds, this guitar provides substantial resonance with comfortable playing weight for extended sessions.
The bolt-on neck construction utilizes black satin maple with PRS's Pattern Thin carve, offering lightning-fast playability across the 24-fret East Indian rosewood fingerboard. The satin finish on the neck back provides a smooth, natural feel that eliminates stickiness during rapid position changes. With iconic Birds inlays marking fret positions and a comfortable playing radius, the neck accommodates everything from intricate lead runs to complex chord voicings. The bolt-on design delivers the snap and clarity characteristic of this construction method while maintaining the sustain and warmth PRS guitars are known for.
The three-pickup configuration harnesses dual 85/15 TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions, paired with a PRS NS-01 single-coil pickup in the middle position. This versatile setup provides classic humbucker warmth and power alongside bright, articulate Stratocaster-style tones from the middle pickup. The 85/15 TCI pickups deliver balanced frequency response with excellent note definition, while the NS-01 adds sparkling clean tones and expands the guitar's tonal palette for everything from blues to country to modern rock. The PRS tremolo system ensures reliable pitch modulation with exceptional tuning stability, complemented by nickel hardware that provides classic aesthetics and smooth operation.
