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.

Rhett seems like he would play Creed to me

Honestly incredibly consistent across the board, first se I picked up blew me away, same with the core, s2, ce

They all sounded amazing. Blindfolded and change the order with each riff and/or amp setting and it would be a straight guessing game that I doubt few if any could honestly get right. But for the price SE's are simply magnificent.

They all sounded great but I can hear that extra 5% difference with the higher end pickups. Seems like they have a little more top end and clarity. Wouldn’t mind the core but the S2 594 does the job for me👌

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 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.

I agree, the deep richness of the tone was instantly recognizable in that part, could be just the octave underneath on that part, because the second time around with distortion wasn’t as distinct, but that $5000.00 one sounds pretty nice too.😂 Not enough for the price difference though.

The SE, SE Custom 24, and S2 all have the same pickups

And that’s why I play SE Custom 24’s exclusively. The best guitars ever imho. Nice job Rhett!

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.

I'm still looking for that PRS I can live with. The Santana SE came close. Those bird inlays were a deal breaker.

I have an SE custom 24 and an vintage SE Custom 24-08 the SE Custom has slightly loud output and a tad brighter than the Vintage but the Vintage 24-08 is my go to.

Wow! Great comparison! Great song to use! Thank you! 👍🏻

the S2 and up versions had more high end, but the SE's still sounded great.

Nice tone, and good riff. A guilty pleasure for sure lol

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.

The CE has some serious vibe! I don’t know if it’s the bolt joint or the maple neck, but, the low end feels tighter, and the high-mids feel more ‘in-your-face!’

Those sound very *very* close, but knowing the compression KZread puts on the vids, maybe being in the room you noticed more difference Rhett?

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.

I had a custom24 SE awhile back and it sounded amazing and was comfortable to play. I screwed up and decided to install pickup covers and it totally changed the sound and was never the same. It looked better but the magic was gone.

Awesome sound!

man this progression is heavenly

I just uploaded a my sacrifice jam a day or two ago haha !! Guess we’re both feeling some Creed Nostalgia

Would love to hear the $500 SE CE Satin in the mix. Slowly gathering the loose change here to buy one

Nice video me man....didn't know you were into the Tremonti....well done.

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.

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

Ive got a gold top DGE SE with moon neck inlays comin in Oct..😖… Years ago, Id have gotten flame w/birds… but I think the gold with moons is less cliche nowadays…and it gives a nod to the early/mid fifties Les Paul’s that (depending on year) came in 2 colors… Black or Gold

Have DGT SE, SE CE24, SE Swamp Ass, S2 Standard 22, McCarty 594 Thinline, McCarty 10-Top. I enjoy my SEs and the S2 Standard the most mainly because I'm not as worried about beating them up.

Tremonti brilliant guitarist, loved creed back in the day, still got both there albums👌

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.

Hats off to you for the good playing, hats off to PRS for making kickass guitars, and especially hats off to Mark Tremonti for being an *incredibly* talented musician and songwriter 👏

S2 and up. Big sustain and ring ❤

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.

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.

The new SE 24 standard satin is $499.00 with a nice gig bag. Very nice. I'm buying one for my birthday in July.

SEs do it all. The most versatile guitar ever made. Especially those split humbuckers, which do thin the sound a bit. But i would kill for a Core model. Those guitars are a work of art. The Michelangelo's David of guitars.

I my opinion, the SE Custom 24 would be a miracle gift. I feel all PRS Guitars are the height of guitar construction and design.

That core custom stock 😮😮dear Barbara

Could hear the very minor differences on my phone, all of them sounded really good tho which just proves the value the SE 24's are especially with the custom colorways

What a Song !

Great tone

Don’t really notice much after S2. That will do.

The player and the amp ... Can't justify what can be sweetened by a tone control ... Great sound

Bolt on necks for those ce models give it more snap.

Yep! I bet you can feel it too!

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.

The red one is the SE Standard 24 (no maple top) and retails for $649.

Cool trip back in time to a Creed song during their heyday

You can’t tell with high gain but when you play clean it definitely paints the difference clearly. The best advice would be to modify your 85/15 S pickups for the 85/15 TCI and boy you save thousands

The S2 is where I hear a difference, the last two sound nearly identical, maybe a little more full on the mids and lows, and that’s through my professional headphones, through regular speakers the biggest difference is between the SE and the S2 and then a small jump to the CE24. I own a CE and it’s one of my favorites to play, but if we’re talking perfect tone then I’ve got to give it to my JP15, the tone on that is just crazy.

Top tear mid range or a lower tear high end. All i know is i have been chasing the tone of a 1983 Strat i sold 10 years because i needed the funds. 4 strats later, custom shop,Vintera, MIM standard and classic vibe. Not even the custom did it for me. I think its not the price, its the guitar. I played a LTD 256 recently, shit hard ware but it played sounded killer

Wonderful !
