      Everyone assigns a different value to a certain object. If the value I assess an object with is lower than the value it's seller wants for it, then I am not buying it.
      Obviously even if you think the value is justified, you have to think if the purchase is justified or not.
      Evidently not every guitar player has a PRS which means they either don't value it as highly, or they do and cannot justify the purchase still.

    I listened to these with phone speakers, monitor speakers, mid tier headphones & my open back beyerdynamic DT 990s &…. with my eyes closed i tried to hear the point at which the guitars were changed & I could only tell with the 1st to the 2nd but between the 2nd through the 5th it sounded like the exact same guitar with maybe some brighter tones with the 5th guitar but that could of been from harder strumming / a bending of the string; Only while watching the video could I tell a difference.
    That’s not a dig at PRS for their guitars not justifying the extreme price differences but actually a compliment; this should be a testament to the quality of PRS & their commitment to giving everyone the ability to experience PRS’s beautiful sound no matter their price range.

      Core 24 or Core 24 not . There is know try .
      I've been impressed by these Fine guitar's for a while nkw . I was always favored Gibson or Epiphone (mainly Lea Paul's and Es 335 & 355's. With 4-6 Flying V's and Explorer's over Fenders even though they were more expensive it was for the quality of woods and machines heads and pick up some such especially the woods.. I thought you dollar for dollar you got more a lot more out of a Gibson than a Fender * sorry Leo & son's but I'm beginning to think that PRS is right up there more like Gibson Fenders prices are commensurate with their quality they do have some well made $1,200 guitars , like American strats and telecasters and stuff and their amps have adequate at best. I do not like thunder amps, I play a little more edgy music and it's hard to get that bottom end crunch . I have a Telecaster and a strat and a Mustang three modeling amp 100 watt but it's just hard to get a nice crisp bottom end, the bottom end at the end always sounds muddy. But my standard rig is my Les Paul Custom Pro in my 68 bus standard and the 335 excuse me and ES330 and I play them through a DSL Marshall CR 100 watt and it sounds fantastic without even using any of my pedals. I think Fenders price to Quality Parts and craftsmanship ratio still sucks compared to Gibson and it would suck compared to PRS. I grew up working in my uncles music store I grew up working in it would take half of my wages each week in cash and half of them in store credit or having mostly epiphons and Gibson's I'm seriously considering after playing guitar since 1972 and being loyal pretty much to Gibson and Epiphone and Electra from the St Louis Music Company when they still had them like Leslie West from Mountain played. I think I'm sold on the prs's and that's going to be my next guitar.

    i'm listening to stuido monitor headphones, and yes you can hear a difference soon as you got above s2 (pickups, the new s2's come with USA pickups. if they all had the same pickups, IDK if youd hear any difference). The custom 24 and ce 24 have more open dynamic sounding pickups. Like more width, height in the overall sound.

    But...
    I will have one of those amazing Core models one day..

    Core model had a bit more "clarity" and "chime," but I don't think the average music fan would notice.
    The only thing I can say, from experience and as a former SE owner, is that the SE pickups of old were a little more brittle sounding, especially on recordings. But the recent offerings of SE pickups are just incredible.
    I think the Core model would stand out a bit more in a studio mix, but for a reliable, dependable instrument, the SEs are hard to beat.

    I got the 4500 version a 2017 Custom 22 from Maryland. I really love how they inlaid the signature on the head stock... BUT I didn't buy it for the price it was used but mint condition for 28 so I thought that was a good deal... No scratches or scuff anywhere... I did however love it as soon as I picked it up... Sometimes it's not the tone or the looks it's how it feels to the player... I think that is most IMPORTANT!!! I used to only play through active pickups for heavier stuff but as I am getting older, I mellowed out a lot and the tone from these pickups are very full and just what I wanted... See I always had cheaper guitars until this one around a grand... I always switched pickups to active. BUT I know for a fact that pickups can change a guitar into what you want... This PRS has some really hot pickups for metal and heavy rock so thats good enough for me.

    All are real close within the same ballpark, so to speak, as far as tone quality is concerned...I think playing experience/ feel/ comfort/distractions, or lack thereof, plays into the factor of guitars, as well. A friend of mine purchased a PRS Custom 24 with a solid rosewood neck, with an HFS, and upon playing that guitar, when thinking "OK, what is the hype?" prior to playing it, I plugged it into an Egnator Renegade with 4 10"s in it, and I immediately was like "OK, I get it...this guitar is just spectacular"....it was visibly beautiful, yet not cheap beautiful, like cosmetic jewelry...it was elegantly beautiful...the neck was a pattern thin, which was spectacular for that guitar...the trem came right back in tune, even with extensive use...that guitar was no toy...it was responsive in a pleasant musical way, all up and down the neck...so here is a suggestion...a lot of players buy what they can afford at the particular time in their life, and spend a lot of time and money buying disappointment after disappointment over the coarse of years...if you know you are going to keep playing, get the one that really inspires you, regardless of price point (within reason of your budget, of coarse)...get that one that inspires you...editing in: I will say that the CE, as far as sound goes in this particular video, sounds the best...it's got a bottom end the others don't by my ear...I wonder if a CE semi hollow would be even better sounding?

    Could def tell the difference from the first and the others. But the others sounded close enough it wouldn't make a difference. You don't pay more money just because of sound. If all your going for is sound, just get a PRS copy and focus on the electronics (pickups, etc).
    I looked it up after watching this video. Apparently, what I was hearing really was a different pickup altogether in the cheapest one, which is part of how they get the price point so much lower. The higher price is for the craftsmanship. There's a massive difference in how the instrument looks and feels while playing between the cheapest and the most expensive.

    OR do as I did and get an SE and put some top quality pickups and pots in and save 4k...

  • @fender7695
    @fender7695 Год назад +1

    The CE & Core have the 5% better increase on the top end. But other than that it’s all up to playability. They are incredible across the board. I have an se baritone Mike mushok and it plays better than most cores but I swapped the bridge for a more articulate pickup with more top end. My core custom 22 is unrivaled by any other guitar I’ve ever played. Except MAYBE my made in japan strat. Playability on that thing is insane

    Idk to my ear I like the CE24 the best. It's got some more snap to it that I really like. Would be great for black metal.

      @fender7695 Год назад +2

      Ce & Core have the same pickups dude lol. Like the exact same. The only reason CE is cheaper is because it’s bolt on and not neck thru

    Sound is one things but the core line will feel a bit better than the entry SE models. I tested them side by side and neck and overall feeling is a bit more expensive and upper level feeling. But SE range is amazing for the price.

  • @roymartin500
    @roymartin500 Год назад

    Yeah. I noticed at the CE & S2, they jumped up in dynamics then at the Core $4999 it went up I more. I could tell the difference in my collection as well. PRS One SE and a PRS Core 08' Mira. In both playability and sound quality.

    Beautiful playing and dynamics, especially with the clean tone. I'm not a PRS fan myself; I feel the guitars all sound like they have no personality. Perhaps a bit rigid sounding. But you may have changed my mind.

  • @NoremakSeggob

    I felt like the more expensive they got, the more natural they sounded. Like the cheapest has a subtle plasticness to it, while the $5k one sounds like pure wood and metal singing with all these beautiful complex overtones.

    Immediately hear the difference in clarity and harmonic overtones. People who can’t hear the difference might be listening through poor speakers or are used to compressed digital music to such an extent that they’ve forgotten or never knew what real instruments sound like

  • @xx_HI_xx7

    For prs, the sound only changes between the models with different pickups. It's nice that if you get the cheaper versions, it will still sound awesome. All about the visual preference with prs.

  • @jasonbaillie
    @jasonbaillie Год назад

    PRS sounds amazing 👏
    I'd say it's more about the quality timber that increases the price. Rocks are everywhere and electronics are cheap, its the nice timber from our trees that's in short supply. What timber quality is in the most expensive guitar vs the cheap one ?

  • @christophermarsh8178
    @christophermarsh8178 Год назад

    They all sound great, but can definitely hear distinctions (esp. b/t 1st SE, 2nd SE/S2, and CE/Core due to pickups mainly) that I associate with “better” mainly because I know it’s harder and more expensive to get that specific sound after my years of pickup chasing and modding. That said, I definitely think the $2k CE sounds just as good as a $4k+ Core. At that point it’s just aesthetics, preferred construction, weight, etc.

    Did you alter the EQ between models? I can usually tell quite a bit more difference in tone between the SEs and Americans, even with OD although it’s more apparent when clean.

  • @Jbuginas
    @Jbuginas 7 месяцев назад

    Interesting demo. I could barely tell the difference.
    Now, try the EXACT same thing with clean tones on your amp. Just curious if the clean tones will be different. Distorted tones make it hard to tell the difference. I play more clean tones.

  • @patrikkis3584
    @patrikkis3584 Год назад

    PRS does a very good job. The more expensive the guitar, the better it is. That can't be said about any company. But the best thing is that even the most affordable one feels good enough to be your friend 'till the day you die

      @ryanconnor4668 Год назад

      Also the fact that he’s using a great quality amp lol.
      Guitars increase in price due to materials used, how much attention to little details there is, whether or not it’s a mass produced type, consistency across the type (i.e. a $2500 fender will always sound identical to another one of the same type (at least to the human ear), but a $300 Jackson guitar might have one that sounds pretty good and another that can’t even stay in tune properly) amonsgt other factors.
      Once you get a solid one though, the difference is very small between pretty good and top-end, whereas the difference between an ok amp and a great one is massive.
