Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

What happens if I don't get on with it?

You have 30 days from delivery to return it for a full refund. We email you a free UK return label, and refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5 working days of the item arriving back with us.

What warranty cover is included?

Two years parts and labour against manufacturing defects, on top of your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Consumables such as strings, reeds, heads and batteries are covered for 90 days.

01 — Full details

A Bolt-on Maple Neck with an Exclusive Finish

The PRS CE 24 features a bolt-on maple neck, which delivers a snappy and responsive feel that's essential to rock 'n' roll guitars. The neck has a Pattern Thin profile, a 25-inch scale length, and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with iconic PRS Birds inlays. The exclusive Fire Red Smokeburst finish is not available within standard production and is sure to turn heads.

Top-notch Construction

This solidbody electric guitar boasts a resonant mahogany body with a stunning maple top, making it a top-shelf instrument. The Pattern Thin neck is fast and comfortable, making it perfect for guitarists with smaller hands or those who use classical fretting-hand positioning. The CE 24 has a woodier attack and sharper bite compared to the Custom 24, delivering a unique and distinctive tone.

Tone-Packed 85/15 Humbuckers

The PRS CE 24 is equipped with 85/15 humbuckers that provide vintage character with modern clarity, resulting in sweet and articulate sound with rich harmonic overtones. The pickups offer a powerful bridge pickup and neck pickup with the perfect amount of brightness, making it ideal for playing anything from chiming cleans to full-bore shred. The CE 24 includes master tone and volume knobs, a 3-way pickup selector switch, and a push-pull coil-split that unlocks an array of ear-grabbing single-coil textures.

Prestigious Hardware

The CE 24 is fitted with PRS's patented molded tremolo, which combines the intonation and tuning stability of a hardtail with the expressive capabilities of a traditional vibrato bridge. This delivers maximum tonal transfer between the hardware and woods, resulting in great tone and stable tuning performance. The guitar also features PRS low-mass locking tuners that make restringing a breeze, ensuring you'll spend less time tuning up and more time playing.

The PRS CE Custom 24 Electric Guitar is an exceptional instrument that offers outstanding quality, exceptional playability, and a unique and distinctive tone. It's perfect for players who want a brighter and snappier tone reminiscent of the bolt-on maple-necked guitars of the '50s and '60s, and is available now at Irvine Art and Music. Experience the sound and quality of PRS guitars for yourself and add this beauty to your collection today!
