These two have a lot of similarity in the tone. That was surprising considering the pickups are different. The SE seems a tiny bit brighter overall. I prefer the SE's better clarity and cut, especially on the neck pickup.
Can verify the setup on my 2017 Korean SE was perfect right out of the box. So was the finish. You're kind of taking your chances with inexpensive guitars but I have no regrets with this one.
etherboy good to hear. I had a Korean Washburn once. Was pretty good. Probably same factory. My Gibson LP though. Oh man what a mess. Sounded great but sharp fret ends and crooked knobs and a tilted p90
I just bought a 2020 SE Custom 24 and the nut is a bronze/synthetic blend. Much better that the earlier SE models. The flame veneer on the newer Indonesian guitars are insane. I think the new 2020 models are a bit better in quality than the old Korean ones. Check out new PRS SE factory tour video.
If the problem is really the tone (which I doubt), spend 300 euros on a set of good pups and you are done. Tone wise there is no possible justification for such a different price.
Speaking of sound, USA made has a fast attack and focused sound. In many cases (especially in professional environments), the first mentioned features are worth the money. Of course you are free to ask what you want from the guitar. By the way, in Japan where I live, I can't buy a new car for $ 3,000. And I am not a PRS fanboy. I tend to grab a relatively inexpensive and good quality Japanese guitar from the 1970s and 1980s (especially Yamaha!). I just want to say is, those luxury guitar makers are not trying to sell expensive guitars for no reason. Let's respect it.
@@neiltosolini2465 Great. I definitely recommend "SG". However, SG-2000 and SG-1500 became John Frusciante's main guitars, so the price became increased and difficult to obtain. SG-1000 may be relatively easy to find. If you prefer the bolt-on, "SC" and "SJ" are also nice. Any Yamama guitar with a model number over 1000 and manufactured between 1976 - 1983 have decent quality.

More definition and solid sound in 30th anniversary. I can hear the difference but the SE is so good too.
กำลังจะซื้อ,seเลยครับ
Hows the nut on the SE? I heard that some used to be crappy which surprised me. Also heard that the korean ones were always good.

Identical, except for price tag.

Definitely not $3000.00 worth

@@134SASAKI Which Yamaha do you recommend? I had an SA2200 and it was Awesome, now looking for a solid body. Thanks
