    In this video we are taking a look at the PRS SE Custom 24. This is PRS's import line and comes in at thousands of dollars less than the CORE version of the Custom 24. But how good is it, really? The short answer: It's very, very good. Honestly, we wouldn't change anything (and we always change stuff)

    OMG. I just bought this exact PRS Custom 24 SE with an Ebony fretboard. It is amazing to play and a terrific deal considering the quality that goes into it at the new PRS factory in Indonesia. Thank you so much for the outstanding video. Very informative...love the comparisons you ran. Yes, there is a lot more hand labor in the U.S.-made models if you watch the PRS factory tours on RUclips. However, the sound and overall performance differences make it hard to justify an additional $1,000+++ for a Standard or Core model. Again, a great video!

    I just bought me a turquoise SE Custom 24. In 1996, I bought a 1995 seafoam green standard 24. It was my love, my only guitar. I played it in high school jazz band. I toured with it with my band throughout my early twenties. Sad part of the story. in 2013, I lost the guitar during a move. It disappeared from my truck somewhere between Nebraska and Utah. I was heart broken . I've since then owned many guitars but I've always missed that guitar. This new Custom 24 is going to be a homage to it. I have a few more days until it arrives. I'm hoping I love it. This video helped me to decide to go ahead and buy one. Thanks.

    Love my PRS Standard 24! Bought it new in 2020 for $500!! Great sound and playability. Lube the nut and it stays in tune well. Just for a project, I swapped out the pickups for Porter Gatekeepers. One week later I swapped them back. These 85/15 S pickups are really amazing for the price of this guitar. Bright and articulate with delay and warm when you need them to be. PRS has designed these guitars with a “treble bleed” in the volume pot. Roll off the volume for crystal clear tone. Really nice for worship songs! The neck plays great with rounded edges and no sharp frets! I don’t split the coils much as I like the sound of the humbucker mode better. Great guitar for Worship and many other styles. Thank you guys for the great Worship videos!

I want to have so many of them (SE, S2, and Core) cause it really fits me so well and i want to just be myself at all time so PRS is the only brand that speaks to me the most. I shred on this thing, i would play lead lines on it, i would play some rock chords with it, maybe jazz lines through it, and ,of Course, be on a church stage with it as well. I would just honestly have tears of joy that those guitars really is for me honestly. Getting another one as my main one needs a buddy.

    You guys probably realized by now but the SE does indeed have the treble bleed installed. The pups sounds pretty much identical, the biggest difference here is that the SE has a maple neck vs the mahogany of the core, as well as a steel vs brass block on the trem, which could be swapped if desired. My SE is the Floyd Rose model which I love, I have contemplated getting a brass block, but it sounds killer as is. Four years of playing and the setup is still perfect, it hasn't been touched by a tech since I got it, not even a truss adjustment, fret ends, nothing, and I live in an extremely dry climate.

    You guys should check out their SE 245. I bought one after trying out both that and the 24, and I loved the sound of the 245 a lot more. It's shaped more like a single cut LP and is beautiful.

    You are exactly right on the 85/15s pickups. I have an S2 Custom 24 and they're a lot smoother than a PAF style humbucker. One thing I hate about a Les Paul sound is the humbucker bark...it's very midrangey without the clarity. I have a Carvin CT624 and it feels very similar to the S2 but I put high end Dimarzios in it and I prefer the 85/15s pickups.

    • @JE12334
      @JE12334 2 года назад

      Gibson makes several pickups, the 490/498 are mid-rangey but the burstbucker range are a lot clearer and brighter. Classic 57’s also sound nice, somewhere in between the 498/burstbucker pro’s. They also make the dirty fingers pickups which Metallica used to help get that master of puppets tone (Tony Iommie of Black Sabbath also uses them I think). I picked up one of these custom 24 earlier this year with the 85/81 and am happy enough that I don’t feel the need to change them. Very nice guitar for the money.

      Good to hear the love for the 85/15s
      I've got a 2022 S2 Custom 24 while it's made in USA the pickups are 85/15s and I've come to absolutely love the Tone they give. The guitar itself is absolutely stunning and plays, feels incredible too.
      I also have a 2021 Gibson Les Paul standard 60s in Bourbon burst which has Burstbuckers. Yes it has more punch weighs 9.5lbs so it's got great sustain and killer tone for sure.
      But since getting the PRS S2 Custom 24 for Christmas last year I've not played the Gibson barely or my US Strats.
      My main gigging amp is a 1973 Fender Bassman Ten Silverface housed in a custom 1x12 enclosure with a Eminence Swamp Thang speaker. Best Tone ever 🔥

    After the comparison, I preferred the SE and thought it sounded brighter, especially on the clean ambient sound. They were almost indistinguishable when playing the saturated sounds. The core sounded more polished, and less noisy overall. I was saving to buy a Chapman ML3 Pro Traditional next year but now I will have to take a second look at these PRS SE models from Indonesia.

    At one point, you guys asked about any upgrades worth doing on the SE Custom 24's. PRS now has cost-effective locking tuners for these. 18:1 ratio and are a drop-in upgrade that gives you the same functionality (and similar appearance) as the core second-gen/third-gen locking tuners. I have them on both of my SE 24's, and the upgrade was well worth it!

      I was wavering between those and Kluson Revolution. I had an actual Graph Tech nut installed on mine, but I think the strings haven't settled in yet, because I'm still having some tuning issues. Or, it could be from me resting my hand on the bridge when I play.

I really wanted the 24-08 version because of the TCI pickups but the two colors (green and sunburst) I don't like. I'm hoping in january they will release new colors but the waiting is unbearable. Maybe just go for the black gold burst...best looking finish of all SE customs imo.

    I keep gravitating towards Fender and Gibson because all my heroes played them. But man, I don’t think I’ve come across better quality than Paul Reed Smith. I currently have an SE Zach Myers and it plays better than the Gibson Studio I have. I sold a PRS S2 Standard 24 to get the Gibson. And I have to admit the PRS played and stayed in tune better. I have been a Les Paul guy all my guitar playing life because Slash, Jimmy Page, Peter Frampton and Ace Frehley play them. That’s the only reason.
