Is Paul CRAZY? Exploring a $499 PRS - 2024 PRS Standard 24 CE SE Satin

Today we dive into the first $499 PRS ever, the brand new CE24 Satin. Could this be one of the best guitars under $500?
If you would like to purchase this guitar, please see my friends at Sam Ash and use these links:
Turquoise CE24 Satin bit.ly/3wjxNwR
Charcoal CE24 Satin bit.ly/3UMdZMX
Vintage Cherry CE24 Satin bit.ly/3wtWGWG
*NOTE: The pickups are the 85/15s NOT the 58/15s...I clearly had a major brain fart 😜 to be clear, that's also what is in the Swamp ash Special SE which I also say has 58/15s 😅

    I recently got a hold of a 2005 prs se soapbar. It sat on fb marketplace for 6 months. Price dropped to 350, so i picked it up. The strings were original, rusty frets, lots of finger cheese! I took it all apart, cleaned it up and its my favorite guitar now out of my 17.

Those are built by Cort International in Indonesia using the same open pore finish as on some of their Corts. Cort has had some questionable employee safety issues but they build some great guitars. Nice to see em slappin' a PRS logo on some of em. Great lookin' guitar.

    Great review man. I just have a question. I've never used a guitar with a tremolo and I play different types of music sometimes it's Standard, sometimes it's in Drop B. I just have a question regarding the tremolo, do I need adjust the screws in order for me to drop the tuning? Is it as complicated as a floyd rose bridge? I've been using fixed bridges for almost a decade now and stopped playing for 2+ years, I'm planning to buy this one as I'm a fan of PRS Guitars. Thank you in advance.

  • @TheNeuroticGuitarist

    @TheNeuroticGuitarist

    4 ай бұрын

    You need to adjust the springs on the back to control the tension of the tremolo. Same concept as a floyd but nowhere near as complicated. You adjust the screws to control how much pull you want on the trem, so pending how heavy the strings are will determine how much tension you put on those springs. You don't have to be a scientist to get it right, you'll be able to feel if it's good. It's not like a floyd where if you don't balance it you'll not be able to play, you just may find the trem is locked or too loose.

    The good thing about the more affordable PRS's is that the SE's have such good foundation quality that you could simply upgrade the hardware on them, put a good setup on it and transform it into a Core model for less than half the cost of one. You don't get as nice of a finish as the Core's have but they're still nice enough. Especially if it means you could save upwards of $3000.

    @@Siggy_Sour I wouldn't worry if you're looking for feel... I've been astounded by the SE necks, they're so comfortable. I have a core Silver Sky and its my favourite neck ever, but the SE I just played is only 5% off it. Very impressive indeed. If you're going down the core route, that's great, but you're not buying much more build quality. Yes, you'll get beautiful quilts and recessed knobs, and better pickups.

    I played the "flame top" SECE24 version at sweetwater the other weekend. Great guitar. If the standard plays as good, it's gonna be a great guitar! The SE line isn't quite as tightly qc'ed as it used to be so I recommend checking out a couple if you can and pick the best one. It's not as nice as my American CE obviously, but if I didn't own it I wouldn't know that and I would be perfectly happy with the SE version. Once you pick up and play the American CE24 though you can feel the difference. The difference was like ok the SECE24 is a really nice guitar,and the CE24... well it's just an even better guitar.. but at $2800usd vs $699 or 499... there should be a difference but the SECE24 did manage to capture the basic mojo of the CE24.
