Review of the Korean PRS SE 245 guitar

[@sarasky457]

thanks for the review i am off to buy one as we speak ....fingers crossed

[@doomcrue87]

I've got 2 made Indonesia and just bought another Korean model off of Reverb today. Killer guitars never had a single complaint.

[@haroldcory3587]

Just bought a used one for 475. Sunburst.

[@marcellinden7305]

I have a 2017 Bourbon burst flame Maple top Korean version with Zebra pick ups and a labeled truss rod cover. Awesome guitar for the price that I got it during a local retailers sale here in AU. Intonation is fine yet I would have preferred an adjustable bridge and getting a drop in replacement is disappointingly almost 1/3 what I paid for the guitar.

[@addictedtogear]

That is true the original PRS parts are very expensive. Maybe you can find a used one on Ebay?

[@davecarsley8773]

It's so bizzare to me that they made a guitar that you can't intonate. Boggles the mind. I'm looking at one right now, but thankfully it's got the bridge sattles

I have long been a advocate for the PRS SE models. I have owned 4 used Tremonti USA models off reverb in the $2k range and they are fantastic looking, playing, and sounding guitars (53/10)(Tremonti) pickups. Then i wanted to get another one and put the USA Tremonti pickups in it so i found a used SE Tremonti for $500 and purchased it. I can honestly say that the SE guitars are so close in feel and playability they are hard to ignore in the $700 price range. They are a spectacular value of an instrument. I currently still own the SE Tremonti and sold the USA model to fund another PRS SC58 and that guitar is so inspiring and fun and effortless to play i cant put it down 57.08 pickups are a dream to my ear anyway. Bottom line PRS is the best value on either end of the price spectrum in my opinion. I have owned many high dollar guitars and while Tom Anderson, John Suhr and others put out a fantastic product its just hard to beat the PRS SE models for value....my 2 cents!

[@davecarsley8773]

PRS and Epihone.... No other brands needed for a collection.

[@yourbore]

Thank you for your comment. I have to sell my les Paul classic and want another singlecut to replace it. If You say its that good, I'll definitely have to try one. I'm debating between the zebra wood se 24 or this se 245.

[@cigdamagelungs]

Sold and digging it

[@gbhendrix]

can someone tell me how to intonate this guitar ? i don’t have the screws at the end of the tailpiece. just two allen set screws at low E and high E.

I really enjoyed this video and I subscribed today to your channel.

[@addictedtogear]

Thanks for watching!

[@richszmal1653]

I agree it doesnt matter where a guitar is made if its good quality its good. Always great videos,keep it up.

[@davecarsley8773]

@G. V. Quinn The people working at the Gibson factory who will immediately lose their jobs would probably care. I'm guessing their wife and kids would probably care a bit also.

[@kingstumble]

I used to have one of the first Korean SEs--a Singlecut with P90s--an excellent guitar. I have now got an Indonesian made SE Standard 245 and honestly it is just as good.

[@phxengr8705]

I got mine minimally used on Craigslist for $325! Great guitar!

[@VIDEOS-jv1jv]

não vai tocar ela ? you don't will play ?

[@noelsalvador8232]

Thanks for the review, informative I am about to pickup a used SE 245 black MIK, for less than reverb prices,

[@addictedtogear]

Hey Noel go for it man. They are great!

[@marcarcoria7672]

Cost then sound ....... I need to be able to afford it before trying it out for consideration.

[@obiwankenobi6271]

Does it keep the tune?

[@addictedtogear]

yes

[@jdl2180]

That's a cool painting!

[@markstanford594]

Good video. I have the SE Custom 24 that is another great PRS guitar, but this one has been in my Sweetwater wish list for a while. Maybe after this Christmas deal is over with. Thanks for posting.

[@jumpinjack6350]

Whats the overall length of the SE 245 guitar ? I thought its supposed to be short scale. Are they referring to the scale length or the overall length?

[@addictedtogear]

Jumpin Jack it refers to the scale length.

[@b1slyfox]

22 fret vs 24

[@totoabeiro]

nut problem, g string!!!

[@fedestrat2caster]

Hi! Great review! Do you know how much it weights? Thank you!

[@valueofnothing2487]

I think it's going to be difficult to justify these kinds of prices these days.

[@JaxWatchesandEDC]

Is it me, or have these Korean models gone up dramatically in price?

[@valueofnothing2487]

@@JaxWatchesandEDC I think some too close to 1,000. I just bought a somewhat ugly ibanez "SG" for $200. It is fantastic. Couldn't put it down. Better that my $350 Epiphone SG 400.. Probably not as great action as the SE, put completely playable, low and great.

[@misterknightowlandco]

It depends on what you want. If you want a no doubts top of the line instrument that is a every night gigger that will maintain value and be worth leaving to your children as a family heirloom... Then save your money and get the real deal american made prs. If you just want a banger for your weekend cover band that works great and is close enough then yes the se is a great option. Personally i only want to own one guitar that i play everyday and is essentially a 3rd arm that hopefully my grand kids one day love and want to play. If all you are concerned about is playability then yes its hard to justify the extra money and the se's are great. Best at the price range id imagine. Im just tired of bangers i guess.

[@1185barker]

The only thing I can say is watch your solders. Just bought a SE Standard and the solders look like they were done by a 5 year old. Literally had to return the guitar, and am now waiting for my 245

[@marcarcoria7672]

If im going into debt for a prs im getting a santana version.

[@1185barker]

How much debt?????? Because if I’m going into debt I’m getting a McCarty lol

[@abd-ix5qd]

What about the Indonesian versions in 2020 PRS SE 245

[@hanovergreen4091]

Indonesia produces outstanding quality. Better than some US makers. Bad days are looong gone. PRS has gone to extreme lengths to ensure the Indonesian SE's are equal to American made except for the changes to materials and carves, etc that lower the price. I only buy SE's because their quality is so good and I have no desire to drop thousands on a guitar I can get 90+% close to for $500-$1K. Best Regards!

[@borger9952]

anybody know if the body is solid or weight relieved?

[@addictedtogear]

I don't think it is.

[@jessebarrera159]

How important is fell to you, I have been playing fender and G&L guitars and find other guitars too feel strange, l don’t like this but that’s what happens?

[@Saurabh4mHeaven]

play yer dayum guitar... man

[@9wenwilson210]

2018 PRS SE models are built in Indonsia ! clearly documented by PRS, and LOTS OF OTHER SOURCES

[@addictedtogear]

9wen Wilson yes the new models are made in Indonesia but the older models like this one were made in Korea

[@antmax]

Some of the new models are still made in Korea. Like my 2018 Fire burst Custom 24 SE Floyd Rose.

[@rangerdoc1029]

I've decided to grab one while the Korean models are still plentiful. I think they will eventually become like the Japanese Strats, more desireable.

[@daveyboy8907]

@@antmax yes I just bought a prs se 24 rosewood edition and its korean,,825 bucks though...sweetwater color rosewood top..It does look like most are indo now though with just a few colors and woods still korean...

[@dzines65]

My 2018 Zack Myers is still made in Korea. It looks and sounds totally amazing. Has the Core style adjustable bridge as well. @@addictedtogear
