I impulse bought the new PRS SE CE 24, and I’m blown away. It was so much more fun to play than my Strat or Tele, though part of that may be the allure of new gear. But it sounds and feels great. It doesn’t feel cheap at all. At this price point, I assumed the gig bag would be little more than a dust cover, but it’s nicely padded and embroidered. I don’t know how PRS kept the price down so low on this. I’d expect to pay double if I didn’t already know the price. And the dive inlays on the fingerboard give it a premium look. I’m finding it difficult to come up with anything bad to say about it!
@Forest_Fifer7 ай бұрын
Im assuming the gig bags will be the same as I got on my se silver sky, which frankly was much better than the one I got on my fender player plus strat, much more substantial, and it had a handy hook for hanging it up with.

Bought a PRS SE 24 08 Standard here in Blighty from GuitarGuitar at just £499. A really tasty and shiny lacquered and luxurious Tobacco Sunburst finish. TCI-S Humbuckers and 25" scale length. I LOVE it, so much so that now, and in true Nigel Tufnell style - I just sit and gaze at it. I won't allow even me to touch it. If it would do me the honour of marrying me then I'd be the happiest man on the planet. Crazy guitar for the money. Buy one. That's my advice. Buy one.

I got my first PRS last year…a SE CE 24…which was on sale for only $60 more than the new Standard version. I’ll probably pick up one of the Standards eventually to convert to a hard-tail. Beyond that, though, it isn’t much of a gateway, because I don’t see myself getting anymore PRS after that. The PRS are workhorses, but I don’t need more than two workhorses. But the Squier Paranormals keep letting me add variety to my stable for when I want something different.

Is it a better guitar than all of them? Maybe. But it's got plenty of competition, even from Epiphone. That said the best thing is that ARC box. I think that's genius & incredibly useful.

Hi Andy! Love the new look and studio! You're my pick of the week. Who makes that coral colored guitar? I got GAS immediately when I laid eyes on it. PRS is desperate to get people who rock to play their guitars! Just kidding, sort of. I owned a PRS SE Mike(?) Mushock baritone. I played it a lot for three months. It had a baseball bat-like thick neck on it, too much for my dainty girl hands, LOL! I'm a big fan of '60's era Gibson speed necks with the barely there frets. I've got too many guitars, so I gave the PRS to my bass teacher. At least it's getting played now.

Cort also needs just a good headstock and their own thing. I know its not super easy to do, but G&L did something I actually like. Cort can too. Don't get me wrong, I'm on Cort's side, but I think being trendy and not "Instantly classic" is NOT. They need to make the mark that "Here is your consistent quality alternative that has already basically made a name for itself." I know revstar isnt killing it, but even if they had their own "real" guitar like that it would be cool, and I would respect that. But even a solid tele alternative that wasn't TOO FRICKIN LAME, would be amenable. Cort is awesome, and probably made half the guitars I grew to love.

Way to go PRS. Gibson has fully lost me, again, but this time not only Gibson USA but Epiphone too. Sorry, Epiphone is meant to be the "affordable" option not the "if it's cheap it's crap and if it's not crap it's overpriced" brand. It's made in China so why is it costing Gibson money? While PRS has always been a higher price option it has never pretended to be anything else. If PRS is making a sub $500 model then there is no reason Epiphone should be charging so much. OK, bolt on neck, blah blah blah, it's not actually (significantly) more expensive to make a set neck in China. No excuse for $600 guitars being priced at $1000+, sorry, not sorry. Great vid Andy.

Like how all animals are slowly evolving to become crabs. Prs is slowly evolving to be more Squier like. They started out as multi color flamed tops with set necks. They are moving to bolt on solid color plain wood. Not that I hate it. But all unique designs eventually take on what’s popular and similar to other brands.
