As well they should! SE models are inching still closer in price to where affordable USA Fenders etc once were, but with better Spec and quality. Direct price competition with the now very good Fender Mexico… It’s becoming less and less important where things are made. In fact we realized this 40 years ago when Tokai and FujiGen were making the best available new instruments. I think Paul Reed Smith has a very serious and deliberate strategy. The SE line will not undercut theirUSA production, but build brand value, demand, and firmer pricing of their whole lineup.
Just bought the PRS SE Standard 24-08 in Translucent Blue today at a local dealer, and I must say I'm VERY impressed.Wide range of tones for many genres, easy playability, great sustain and a very nice tremolo.Looks fantastic too.
Hi ! honestly, could you let me know if the switches coil split are great sound response? I mean when you switch in any combinaison, the volume of the sound is the same !? Position humbucker or single coil, the volume is the same?
I owned the exact same model the translucent blue and the way it looks when the light hits it WOW! 😮 I love that you can see the wood grains through the finish. But most of all is plays very well and sounds amazing. It is a versatile guitar to have in your arsenal. The neck is my favorite part of the 🎸 guitar!
I have owned many different brands of 6 string guitars in varying price ranges, and amongst them I have my PRS SE Standard ($500 USD) which really stands out amongst them all....the material and construction quality are top notch, the pickups sound so good that I would never consider changing them. It stays in tune after long periods of time even with a tremolo bridge fitted, and the craftsmanship is just as good as my Ormsby guitar which about four times the price of the PRSES. Paul Reed Smith is absolutely killing it.
It's good to see the 24-08 switching system becoming the standard. I bought my S2 35th Anniversary last year and the 24-08 switching makes it the most versatile guitar I own. Single coil tones with no volume drop. Love it!
@Mark Seymour yeah i agree! 😃 but what I meant was that I was excited about the 24-08 and the switch system being on more prs models; especially the affordable ones. Also what I like about the 24-08 is that you have more control and tone options when splitting the neck and bridge pickups. The switches are good but I would like it more if push-push coil split knobs were used like those used for Darrell Braun’s signature Paoletti guitar. Imo it seems more intuitive and u can have more tone control for pickups.
@Mark Seymour the difference is that the previous coil tapping was done by pulling up the knob. That meant both could be humbuckers OR both could act as single coils. With the individual switches you can mix and match and have one of each combined.
I would hardly say the PRS switching system is becoming the standard. Brian May designed his guitar to have something like 13 different pickup combinations, making the most versatile guitar ever built. other guitars have since tried to replicate this innovation and it looks like PRS and others, have decided to do the same. Keep in mind that Brian designed his guitar back in the early 60s, when Fenders and Gibsons only had 3 pickup configurations.
I just purchased this exact make and model. I finally own a PRS and I love it! It's the best guitar I have ever owned and played! Excellent playing my man!
I’ve come back to watch this video at least 7 times in the past few days, I want this guitar so bad, how DARE Paul sell something I need at such affordable prices.
I just got one of these and love it. I play a couple of different styles (Blues, Country & Prog Rock) and this handles them all in its stride. The range of tonality and selectivity given with the pickup configuration is impressive, and for the money they are incredible value. Mine's Tobacco Sunburst finish too... and sometimes I just sit and look at it. 🙂
I've also been interested in that one! Ive yet to see the finish in person. How is it so far? :) Id really like the faded blue whale but I'm tight on budget lol
Please make a 24-08 that also has Piezo as well. That would truly be the most versatile guitar! And please make an ocean blue Custom 24-08 in the SE series!
I just bought the new translucent blue from sweetwater yesterday this was my first prs and it's amazing no adjustments needed and this guitar has more spank than my telecaster
This guy, respectfully makes any guitar sound extremely good… A lot more feel and tone and practice in those fingers, just really tasteful. Back to school, boys!
You know, these reviews with Bryan Ewald are totally unfair and misleading. I need to hear how this guitar sounds in the hands of a mediocre clod like myself not a frickin' Tone Master like Bryan.
As a lefty, its so annoying that these have been out over a year, and we have to pre-order to get them at the end of this year AND pay a premium as well, of over £150! Paul really does hate us.
@@mrblank-zh1xy yep I also have a gibson lpj.Its basically a stripped down les paul no binding no nitro just a stained finish ..Sounds great..More wood less plastic equals better tone.
@@daveyboy8907 my favorite guitar that I've ever owned was the second one I've ever bought and that was a 2019 Les Paul Jr in TV yellow with the p90s. I sold that guitar and I have regretted it ever since. I got lucky and did not understand how important the individual example of a guitar is.
@@mrblank-zh1xy that’s funny I was just watching videos and looking at those on Sweetwater yesterday afternoon..The one with the p 90s right? I want one.
I just reread it and yeah you said the p 90 s..Yeah every guitar is different and the one you bond with is a keeper forever..I have 9 guitars but none with p90s..I bet once I get one it will be my favorite because I love that old school rock tone.
Beautiful guitar, great sound, and it doesn’t break the bank. What more could you ask for? Looks like I’m making another “business investment” soon lol
I have bought this PRS tabacco sunburst recently on the second-hand market and I like it but one thing that there's a dead spot at the 12th fret on the 3rd string. Any experience of the dead spot and a solution?
Sounds lovely, but, it's really hard to know how chimney the splits truly are when finger picking (not using a pick) which tends to mellow out the tone under any conditions.
I want one so bad, i already have an older Standard and its one of my favorite guitars, i mean its right there very close to my S2, not the same but close.
The SE Eriza Verde Custom 24-08: Got one about a week ago. And sadly there are a lot of problems with it. The set up was very high. I could tell something wasn't right with the nut once I tuned it. the B and E strings sounded muted and plinky. So there's that. I should not have a nut problem on a 1000 dollar guitar from PRS. I have and play two Schecter guitars and they both came with no set up problems. Trying to set the height to be more playable only caused more muted and or plinky notes. Plinky as in they are not ringing out the way they should. Took it to a friend and he has the tools to check the neck. And found from the ninth fret up to have unlevel frets. Even without the problems I found the neck to be uncomfortable for me. And the bridge very limiting. The note down rang is usable, but the bend note up range gives a hard crash into the top of the guitar body. If you look for people that play PRS guitars most never have the bar in place. I though it was odd. But now I know why. They are cheap and not much though has gone into making useful trems for the PRS. This is my first so I don't know if all models are like this. I have read so many asking is this model over hyped... my answer is very hyped.

🤔 the 2022 SE Custom 24-08s will come with 85/15 S pickups instead of the TCI S pickups they had last year, which the new SE Standard 24-08s come with now, and at ~$200 less. Wondering which pickups are better or if it really makes a difference?? (Before buying).
Not sure if you're still wondering, here's the values from my SE Standard 24-08 TCI-S pickups: Neck - 7.18 Neck Split - 3.74 Bridge - 8.47 Bridge Split - 4.25
Looks and sounds amazing, I'm sold on one. However does it have have coil tap or coil split? The video gets confused between the two. It's clearly coil split from the sound, but I can't pass on the chance to be facetious.
yo who keeps approving these budget bangers?? SE Paul's guitar, SE full hollowbody standard piezo, SE 245 standard, now this SE standard 24-08. it all makes way too much sense. tell me there's going to be SE standard satin 22 piezo hardtail?!?!? tell me there's going to be an SE freaking standard archtop with the full length bigsby and a roller nut?!??! wtf PRS, on a roll for real
Waited 4 months since the announcement to get the blue standard 24-08 and got it today. Most disappointing day in a while... 3 significant scratches on the body, on the main horn, between the bridge and humbucker and on the edge of the binding near the input jack. This was supposed to replace my se custom 24-08 that I bought in November last year that came with a bent tone knob and splits in the fretboard. I really thought better of PRS even if it's the SE line. Bought online from a major music store in AU. No one would have walked out a store with the 2 guitars I received. Very very poor finish quality control out of the SE factory. I really wanted to love these guitars...
Is this thd professional version of the paul reed smith standard 24 se model like remastered or just updated since its SE I'm guessing this one is made in USA 🇺🇸 rather than Indonesia looks totally different from the normal paul reed smith standard 24 se edition wow
Nice guitar. Here are a few things I do not prefer. 1. Gloss finish on the back of the neck 2. Nickel frets, although for the price stainless steel frets, I am sure, would cut into PRS profit margins. 3. Prefer a bone nut. This would not add so much to the manufacturing cost. For the price, the feature set is very good.

Bryan's demos are out of this world!
Agreed.
Beautiful guitar., superb sounds, gorgeous finish and shape. I want one!!!
PRS is definitely putting out great new SE Models
Mine arrived this morning. PRS Se Standard 24-08. Just tried it out for the first time. I love it. It's my first PRS.
So happy to hear that, @E_Ripley! Congrats on the new guitar day.
2:30 bridge humbucker

3:40 bridge single coil (coil split) + neck humbucker
3:52 bridge humbucker + neck single coil (coil split)
4:04 bridge single coil (coil split) + neck single coil (coil split)
Absolutely gorgeous and genius, can’t thank you guys enough for being so forward thinking with your SE models 🙏🏻

It’s becoming less and less important where things are made. In fact we realized this 40 years ago when Tokai and FujiGen were making the best available new instruments.

Bryan is an excellent guitarist and this demo is probably my favorite of what I’ve heard from him. And that mahogany cap makes my heart flutter!
The SE line has come a long way from the OG Santana
Still like my Santana se from back in the day (2004) , but the newer SE custom 24-08 is really Poppin.
I just got one of these and love it. I play a couple of different styles (Blues, Country & Prog Rock) and this handles them all in its stride. The range of tonality and selectivity given with the pickup configuration is impressive, and for the money they are incredible value.

Finally bought my first PRS. Went with this one in the translucent blue. It feels great in my hands, easy to play, great tonal ranges.
I've also been interested in that one! Ive yet to see the finish in person. How is it so far? :) Id really like the faded blue whale but I'm tight on budget lol
Is it pretty thin? Or is it a thicker neck? I have small/medium sized hands, and I'm really wanting to get the Custom 24-08 SE. It looks so awesome.
Bryan I love your playing. So much feeling in it. This is a great guitar but I bet you could make any guitar sound good.
Please make a 24-08 that also has Piezo as well. That would truly be the most versatile guitar! And please make an ocean blue Custom 24-08 in the SE series!
I just bought the new translucent blue from sweetwater yesterday this was my first prs and it's amazing no adjustments needed and this guitar has more spank than my telecaster
just got me the custom version of this today, My first ever PRS , happy day :D 😁
You play very very good sir....in every video i just watch to listen your guitar playing demos....please can we get the track
This thing sounds GREAT
Looks and sounds glorious!
Bought a custom 24 se 7 years ago. Was so impressed i traded gear for a bernie marsden and a 245. Great guitars.
Pretty excited about the new s2 24-08. Either that or the CE in the ‘-08’ format is exactly what I’ve been wanting from PRS.
this is going to be my first prs that i have both bought or played. am very much looking forward to getting it/playing it 🙂
I went to the site through your link. The Translucent Blue is Awesome looking!
Your playing was inspiring, as always Bryan.
As always, great playing and great tone!!!
I hope you read this. Your recent SE series are phenomenal. Extra jumbo frets would make them even better.
That's me just ordered this guitar today, so happy to finally own my first PRS gorgeous guitar and plays amazing
Congrats on your first PRS, Jamie!
8 switch is still available? the one i saw don’t have mini toggle. 2020 version
I really like the sounds Bryan is creating with this model, beautifully delicious somehow. Nice work PRS!
I’ve had a few PRS SE Guitars latest one being the Singlecut 594 McCarty… this standard is the best out of all of them
I love the TCI "S" pickups and the 8-way switching in the 35th Anniversary Custom 24 SE. Nice to see those features come down the product line.
This guy, respectfully makes any guitar sound extremely good… A lot more feel and tone and practice in those fingers, just really tasteful. Back to school, boys!
NOW WE NEED A CE24-08!
1/4" drill bit and 2 mini toggles will get u there
The year of the SE
Wish to have all those features on a 22 fret version if prs has plan to release them!
I have this guitar with an evertune bridge and it's literally the best guitar I've ever played.
ahhh my dream guitar ❤️😭
The mini toggle switches look like an afterthought mod.
Intro totally reminded me of one call away

I'd love to see more reviews. Wondering about the clean single coil tones. In general you don't see single coil with all mahogany very often.

Sounds lovely, but, it's really hard to know how chimney the splits truly are when finger picking (not using a pick) which tends to mellow out the tone under any conditions.
I like the look of this one more than the S2.

Very nice sound brain what are you useing playing the new mahogany se standard thank you.

I prefer this to silver sky

I think that the SE custom 24-08 not coming with TCI anymore is a typo on the website?

Do you still need to change SE nuts? I dont mind adding locking tuners but a well cut snag free nut should happen at this price point.
