If somebody gets a PRS that is not stable when using the Trem, I took mine apart and some of the 6 screws had metal shavings where they didn't clean the holes out after drilling them. Also, the screws are molded and not machined and they are not always straight. I improved it by cleaning the holes and the slots in the screws, but wound up going with a nice MannMade trem. Much better quality for sure. Wound up changing the tuners and swapped the pickups for Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded pickups. It's a much better guitar than when I got it. Oh, and I roughed up the neck with some green Scotch-brite which was a huge improvement for no cost. I still need to deal with the scratchy pots, but that's an easy fix. I agree that's it's a great guitar if you are willing to tweak it.

I have this guitar and love it. If you’re choosing between this and the regular SE Custom 24, I can say that the bridge humbucker plus neck single coil combination is probably worth the extra money, plus I tend to agree with others who say these pickups sound a tiny bit more vintage than the others. It’s a very fine guitar and hits the sweet spot in terms of bang for your buck. It’s far superior to cheaper guitars, thus justifying the extra money, but close enough to much higher end guitars that you won’t feel bad about not spending more.

My favorite thing is the versatility of the pickups. With the coil taps into 2 little toggle switches and the pickup switch it's easy to switch and know what you're configuration is. With 8 different ways the sounds you can get are endless. I am 66 and have been playing for 57 years. I also have over a dozen guitars. These PRS guitars have definitely left an impression on me especially for the price point of the SE.

I just bought this used for $715 USD this week ($979 CAD where I live). I got it at a music store. I don't think the original owner ever played it. Mint condition. Fretboard looks untouched. Still had the gig bag and tools with it. Can't wait to experiment on it!
Great review. Luckily I didn’t have any issues with my pots or switches after coming up on a year of ownership. Funnily enough though, the shop that I purchased mine had set it up with 10s and I had a hard time bonding with the guitar until I swapped to 9s. I almost exclusively play Japanese Ibanez and ESP guitars strung with 9s (even for drop D. I use my Axe FX or Digitech Drop pedal if I need lower tuning)so that’s probably why I prefer lighter strings. I think I might switch to Seymour Duncans though, the stock pickups are a bit sterile/thin. I can’t put my finger on it but I like a thicker sound and changing my eq settings doesn’t quite get me there.

I just played some SE's this weekend in a store close to the town I live in, and I will say the biggest distraction was the feel of the strings on them...they felt like great guitars with not so great strings on them...I know it would cost some, but I think if I was a store owner, if I thought the strings on the guitars in the store would run the risk of a no sale vs a sale, then I would change them out...just an opinion. Thanks for the video.

Hi friend! I’d say, that according to the publicly specs and dimensions the thinnest and widest SE neck profiles would be the Mark Holcomb, the tremonti and the 24-08. With marginal sub mm differences . Maybe you need to try them in a store. I know this one is pretty thin, I would say they’re thinner than a strat! Hope this helps friend!!

Of course! And no, I don’t think they’re thinner than Ibanez, there’s more neck depth than on any modern shredder guitar I think. This one, sits between my fender ultra stratocaster and my Les Paul studio. 🤣 that’s the closest approximation I can think of. I need to make a video about this, I have LOTS OF THOUGHTS on this subject….. I was thinking today, but the way my day is looking I may need to shoot for something more achievable

I've admired these for a long time so I finally bought one after playing fenders forever. It takes some getting used to because the extra frets are much.closer together. But I'm getting used to it and it's a quality guitar and I keep going to it but I was not expecting such a hard time with it. The neck is almost identical to my fenders but the frets are much closer together because there's 24 of them but it's a keeper.
