The CE's aren't on the site
It's not uncommon for stores to list new models before PRS officially announces them

Did someone say the PRS CE line is coming back in 2016?
Oh wait:
NGD! 2016 PRS CE24 in Amber - Brand spankin' new from Chuck Levin's Washingtonian in Maryland. The same CE features we all love and missed. Available in most staple PRS colorways. May be the first one sold to the public (that I know of, don't quote me on that)
-Bolt on maple neck
-Mahogany body, flamed maple top
-PRS 85/15 pickups
-Wide thin neck
I also played some core line guitars today, prior to playing the new CE's. This thing feels JUST as good as a stock CU24 - For me, maybe better taking into account the unfinished WT neck.

Sadly while these have the US pickups they have the S2 hardware.

What are the differences between the US and S2 hardware if any?

Are those S2 birds or Core birds? (hard to tell from photos)

Could you take a picture of the back tuning machines please? I'm wondering what would fit in their place.
What is the bottom left model? Is it a Dusty Waring? That satin finish with the red looks amaaaazing!tell me more!
Apologies didn't see this till today. Yes that the Jade and the Faded Whale are all Waring models

whts the difference with the CE PRS models?
a more budget friendly version?. That would be awesome as some people (like me) cant really afford a normal PRS, and the S2 are quite different in shape, and the SE are "too cheap" not really, but yeah?, like their tops are too "flat" and dont have many options in colors, and the colors they have are pretty bad/average to what a PRS stains normally would look like
but would be awesome to have a mid point between the SE and the normal PRS. Is this CE line fitting that gap?

According to the leak, it'll fit between he S2 and Core models.
I found this on another forum:
- $500: SE Standard 24
- $760: SE Custom 24
- $1,000: S2 Standard 24 Satin
- $1,200: S2 Standard 24
- $1,400: S2 Custom 24
- $2,000: CE 24
- $2,700: Brent Mason Sig
- $3,000: Core Custom 24
I just wish for it to be closer to the Core than S2 but I'd understand for it to be more price conscious if they would like to keep their profit margin for the main factory.
biggest difference is that it's a bolt-on

cool. Yeah I kinda whish they are closer to the S2, but I get the need to make them more "expensive" as they are full on carve tops, rather than flat as the s2.
If you want expensive components then you have your core models, I just hope they have the color stains as the core models. The color stains for the SE and S2 are really average/dull for PRS.
I wont be able to afford one yet, but its good to know I will be able at some point

No. Someone posted a link to them on AMS and the link points to an invalid page.
