- Hey ya'll, today we take a look at the breathtaking PRS SE (yes SE) Marl Holcomb 2023 model.
WOW is this thing pretty. But how does it sound? How does it play? How is the build quality? All that and more will be answered on the next episode of Dra... On this review I mean.
Also, 2 uploads in less than a week?? What whaaaaat? Who am I and what did they do to me?

You got lucky with that top!
He really really did, when I saw the thumbnail I was like damn that looks *really* expensive.
Yeah, for sure - amazing quilt
wow you really won the quilt lottery with that one. did you order it sight unseen?
Sight unseen!
I'm in the market for one, but there's so much variation in the tops, it's become a hunt for the right one. Yours is one of the prettiest I've ever seen, you lucked out!
Just bought one from Sweetwater and got to choose which one. They list 5 at a time but can always ask a sales rep for more.
That particular guitars finish is insane. Looks great! I actually got this guitar during the Black Friday sales and got to say... I'm super thrilled I've got it. PRS just feel great to play and i love the tones of the Seymour Duncan pickups.
That guitar looks and sounds amazing! Great review!
Thank you!
Love your guitar reviews Raf! Hope to see more.This guitar is not for me way too expensive for what you get.You used to get used prs SE,s in the 250$ range if you were lucky!
Thanks for the kind words Stephen! Taking a few days to celebrate the extended holiday season but I got lots of cool and exciting stuff coming up in the next few months. Some great budget options as well as some really nice mid priced and higher end models too.
First of all, what a beautiful sound you are getting from that guitar. I see you are using a mac mini M1?, M-AUDIO 192/8 ? maybe, Logic Pro or Garage Band. Are you using the built in guitar effects in Logic Pro or Garage band? It sounds so good, but your playing makes it sound so good. Those pickup are killer. If I wanted to spend over $800 on a guitar, it would be this.
Thank you Mitch!
For the clean/Hi gain/lead tones I have the guitar going in through the M-Audio 192/8, plugged into my Mac Mini M2, using external plugins with Garageband.
The plugins are:
Clean: Archetype Tim Henson
Hi Gain: ML Amped Roots (Free plugin)
Lead: Archetype John Petrucci
Plugins go a long way, which makes it a little more feasible to spend $800 on a guitar lol.
Crazy how the finish differs ... a bit too much blue for me 😅 but hell yeah
great honest review. agree that locking tuners should be on at that price point. they are standard of modern imports that cost much less in 2024. but hey, maybe it will be an upgrade for the third gen so they can get people to buy more.
🔥🔥🔥
Does the neck dip towards the floor when standing up?
@@potsandpans960 Not at all!
@RafsGearReviews Wow, thank you. Been looking at those lately. I have an Oman Extrem but want something, you know, nicer better
I think the features are better on the Indonesian guitars, but the QC imho is not as good as the Korean made ones.
I 100% agree with you.
Not bad looking, but I'm thinking a green PRS would look a lot better. 😁
Funny you say that. There's a green PRS video coming in 2 weeks 👀
Yeah dude… that fucken top is killer… for that price…
Agreed. It looks so so good.
Wow, a bit disappointing to say the least, I have a PRS SE Custom 24 that I love and has zero issues!
Too much talk in the looking, value and zero in the pickups and their characteristic sounds.
Thanks for the feedback. I probably didn't go too much into detail because, well, I didn't love them.
Don't get me wrong, they sound good and are very versatile but felt more like a jack of all trades, master of none kind of thing. They lack a bit of high end and clarity for me. They are not muddy but heavy on the mid and bass eq. They are almost like a higher gain version of the SD pearly gates but with less high end.
Hope that helps, thanks again for the feedback.
