Keep in mind when you mod any Chinese or Indonesian guitar that you’ll NEVER make your money back. They will ALWAYS depreciate. Just save that money and buy AMERICAN, as it WILL appreciate.

why didn't you give her a Usa saddle?

Cracked me up when he said the J and JB pickups sound good in a mahogany body. 😂😂 😂 literally the most typical guitar player thing you could ever say. Sweet guitar and nice mods nonetheless. If you put the PRS Lamp Shade, knobs on it, it’ll look almost just like a core. And they’re killer looking. Also everyone, also put a dab of wood glue on the screw itself for strap locks. But just a dab. Literally a dot. One thing I don’t like about PRS SE is the damn backplate could EASILY be recessed, but they’re to cheap to set the machine to route it for 8 seconds. And “ heighth, “ isn’t a word. It’s constructive criticism here. It’s pointless to show the new pickup sound without A/B ing them with the stock pickups. Also, you’re either a new guitar player or don’t take it seriously because you’re outta tune and have no real guitar skills. Just because someone buys a guitar, doesn’t mean they’re a guitar player.

You guys say 2-3 hours in crazy I’m over here playing full albums and writing thrash for 10 hours when I can and 3 hours on slow days lol I’m fucked guys I’m withdrawing

Just started learning left hand muting for 16th note funk patterns and jacked my left arm up with tennis elbow. Deeply appreciate this video.

In my opinin it`s bullshit you done..... There are a heck of Guitars on the street, and there are all different. You only have to grab the right one.Secondary 65% of the issues are the sound,.... so straplocks, strings and tuners are wearparts,no way a reason to mention the changing.

Not worried about someone knocking over ya $700 guitar is a new kind of peace 😂 i just got one of these. Love it!

How do i connect the LT to my monitors. Do i need to run reaper or can i just just the Helix software?

Hi Brian thanks for the tip I bought a set of these I put them in my usa prs standard they sound great!! Pick your brain if I may I have a pes se dgt model the mids cut through in a live application but no low end do you think 🤔 they would improve the tone & warmth of that guitar I use a pedal platform in front of clean amps thanks any perspective would be welcome

I recommend the se locking tuners and also some schaller s locks…

Bone nut on my SE Custom 24 made a huge difference

duncan jb on the bridge position isn't right choice for this instrument... sound so aggressively and too much highs... vote for bare knuckles... but other side other mind... btw. nice guitar... PRS s great mark for long, long time... amazing instruments... I m flying like eagle across the bird signs on the fretboard...

Hi.. I'm in train without earpods. I can't see your video because you don't have subtitles... Also I 'm not native English, i' m Spanish and subtitles help me to understood what do you said. Is a suggestion, turn on subtitles

I wonder if you can explain how to integrate the helix with the Ox Box or perhaps the Boss Tube Amp Expander!?

Amazing intro to the video 😂, that is soooo much me!

Keep in mind, everyone is different and at various levels. I’m at an intermediate level and I’m almost positive that when I get better, my taste will change.

I really just want to use it to run through my monitors hooked to my computer. Can you just use your usb cable from the helix and use it as your interface into your daw to get sound to your monitors?

Hey friend good morning, I'm Gary, I have a PRS tremonti just bought but my high E is getting caught on the front pick up, any suggestion on a fix. Only problem

How do i lower my strings???

Tension buildup can occur all throughout the body, in the feet, hips, back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, eyes, mouth, etc. The key here is to find the path of least resistance, you want to exert as little energy and pressure as possible to achieve the result. In order to do that you have to analyze closely where the point of tension is building and reposition accordingly. There are best case scenarios for posture and technique when it comes to sustained long term playing, learn from the masters. Path of least resistance.

Love this video. Absolutely hate the SE Custom 24 pups. Tried all SE models and pups sound terrible on all of them. Muddy, underwater, or like they are being muffled under a pillow. So disappointing because my ‘88 Core custom 24 sounds beautiful. This is great video because it not only confirms there’s a way to make the SE sound as great as it looks and feels but shows how. Thanks so much. Interested to know if any other pup replacement recommendations.

I agree with the stock prs pickups. They sound very flat.

I have this guitar, thought i didnt like the pickups .... simply rolled down the tone knob a bit and i love them.

No Plyers ! Use a socket

Thank you for the content, I’m actually experiencing it right now and I got very down because I can’t practise. But the thing to focus on theory and on the right hand, which are stuff that when the left work well I never do 😅 it is a good point. The only thing that could be wrong is when you explain stretching and which muscles do you stretch with the movement, it should be the opposite, so if you pull up you stretch the down part and compress the up. Anyway love the content!!

Was about to facepalm somebody modifying a PRS Custom 24. Have a 1994 version, fully stock, and wouldn't change a thing about it, though I understand some people are not fans of the 5 way rotary pickup selector. Then I realized I had dyslexia and didn't read the "SE" part of the title of this video. Lol. My philosophy on modding guitars is that anything that cost you less than $1,500 is fair game. Starting around the $2,000 mark, I'm thinking "Why would you spend that much on a guitar you're gonna mod anyway?" Mid-priced guitars like in this video and budget guitars are great to mod anyway you like. Personally, I wouldn't trade my 1994 PRS Custom 24 for any amount of these mid-price or budget guitars, but that's mostly because of sentimental value. Great video btw. Looks like a versatile beast of a guitar :)

I just ordered a new PRS SE Custom 24 and a set of (PRS) locking tuners as well. I'll give the stock pickups a fair try first as I normally do before making a change. I'll most likely end up putting in a set of Seymour Duncan pickups in it. I'm thinking about which ones to go with but, first really want to hear how it sounds stock.

I got tired of researching and ended up deciding between Helix LT and Headrush prime. Can you help me? 😢

I got my Helix LT yesterday. This is the perfect start up video. Bravo!

Stretching is not generally recommended by expert clinicians (clinician-researchers specializing in tendon overuse problems). It can make some tendon issues worse, by compressing a tendon against underlying bone. Similarly, there is little evidence that stretching prevents tendon problems in the first place. Your average doctor or physio may not be familiar with current evidence-based best practice for what is a difficult condition to treat (what they were taught in school has often changed in more recent years as better evidence has emerged).

The S2 uses the same pickups and electronics as the SE line. I recently purchased a McCarty 594 SE and seriously entertained buying an McCarty S2. The S2 doesn't even have binding like the SE and they share the same hardware and pickups for 1000$ more.

GREAT ADVISE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I AM A 56 YR OLD MAN TRYING TO LEARN DRUMS AND RELEARN THE GUITAR (HAD NOT PLAYED SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER) AND, AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF 2 TO 3-HOUR DAILY SESSIONS, I BUSTED MY LEFT ELBOW. I HAVE BEEN VERY SLOWLY RECOVERING FOR ALMOST 3 WEEKS NOW, AND YOUR GUIDANCE SURELY WILL HELP.

Skip the Drama 1:21

Thanks...I really appreciate the timestamps stuff hehe.

Hi Colton, just saw this video today. Thanks for showing up the whole process. I would like to ask, have you consider, or someone else, having P90s on the PRS? Due to the cavities size, we need to go for a P90s humbuckers size correct? i read people say they don't sound that well as the normal size, but would love to hear opinions. Cheers

thank you for the video Colton your se custom sounds really good i’m goin to be doin some upgrades to mine pickups locking tuners from prs i want all black but they don’t have them in all black your pickup choice was and is exellent i really like the way they sound

Thank you for the tips.. Very helpful.

Very convenient the timing of this coming on right after a prs video and as im looking to upgrade my prs both american models and import models thank you sir!

I have a new 2023 PRS McCarty 594 SE single cut and the pickups are absolutely phenomenal. Some of the best I’ve ever heard in any guitar. Also dual coil split on both tone knobs. Wonder what the difference is with those pups and the older ones are. The Silver Sky SE pups also sound amazing. I also don’t believe this guy is a gigging guitarist lol. Watch the end. Sounds like he’s been playing for a year. No offense honestly but, not sure ppl should take advice about guitar from someone who can barely play.

That guitar is NOT an all mahogany body

You chose good SD pickups...but it is still an SE. Modifying a USA made S2 got me a better guitar with better resale. Gutted all the import parts.

I've got an old Cherry Red PRS SE Custom 24 (the one without the contouring on the front of the body) that I'm in the process of restoring back to full playability, I'm going to be installing two Gibson USA PAF (Silver Shield) Humbucking pickups I salvaged from my old Gibson USA Les Paul Studio guitar, hopefully they'll sound good in the PRS SE Custom 24, I recently bought a PRS truss rod cover, a set of two plastic ivory PRS pickup rings, and a complete PRS trem bridge on eBay since I needed them in order to complete the restoration, I also need to make a small 2mm thick piece of rosewood in order to install a new nut because the original nut-shelf was sanded to accept a Floyd Rose locking nut, I originally wanted to install a Floyd Rose trem on it but I ended up abandoning the install because of some issues.

I had a feeling he was a metal head. Got sold after he said he listens to Opeth.

How do you control the overall output lvl for a live aetting scenario, such as sending the di out to foh and perhaps another our to an frfr for stage volume?

Not a fan of PRS? How!?!?! I just recently bought my first PRS SE(I'm a Strat/Tele/Ibanez RG guy) and ever since I purchased the 24-08, I haven't touched my other guitars, and they're MIA/MIJ!!! PRS is killing it with the SE. I can only imagine how amazing a core model is. Purchasing one soon. PRS is my new favorite!

Not sure if it's really worth the bother and I don't think PRS stock pickups could ever sound awful. At the end of the day it all comes down to your personal preferences.

I have an LT on the way and this is the best video I've found on basic operations so far. Thanks!

since the prs allows you to split the pickups, do I have to buy a special pickup or can any humbucker pickup work? i was looking for tim henson signature pickups, would they work?

I have same guitar in Cherry Sunburst. I did some mods... 1) Custom bone nut A MUST DO 2) Gotoh locking tuners, WAY better than the PRS ones (better looking, better ergonomically, no tool required) and cheaper (3) Full pro set up with fret levelling and dressing. (4) PRS lampshade knobs. Much better. Don't fully press on the tone knob, leave it about 1/16-1/8" higher than the volume one. This will make it much easier to pull it up for PuP split. And yes I don't like the PuPs either. They are muddy at the low end and tinny or sibulent at the high end. And for some reason they DO not seam to get along with my Boss AC-3. I had strap locks but they were more of a PITA than anything else since I just play at home and sitting anyway at this point in my "journey V2.0".

I have the 35th Anniversary model with the TCI pickups. Heard a criticism if the PRS pickup but never TCI's. Have you tried them? I will NOT be changing mine, only upgrading the tuners.
