Let’s kick that off then. PRS makes an undeniably great guitar. But the way Paul talks about the tone wood makes me not want to give him money. Smacking a piece of wood with a mallet is only proof that you can smack a piece of wood with a mallet. Although everyone PRS I’ve touched has been great. Even the SE line.

3:54 I screamed "Let's go" at the top of my lungs, now my parents are concerned and I blame you almost entirely

The "TCI" term is incredibly confusing in the way it's described, but I think I can help clear some things up. "TCI" is a process, a pickup modifier, and an actual pickup model. All pickups have inductance and capacitance - among other readings - but those two measurements do most of the heavy lifting in determining the pickup's resonance curve, which more or less determines its character. In reality, ALL pickups have a tuned capacitance and inductance, and they're tuned by modifying the wire type, turn count, magnet type, etc. By process, PRS just means that instead of using turn count for tuning a pickup, they've determined an inductance and capacitance to create a specific resonance curve, and are building the pickup to that specification. They may even have a machine that can measure inductance and capacitance as the pickup is being wound. If that's the case, it would lead to each pickup sounding very consistent. As a modifier, PRS has added "TCI" to the end of pickups that have gone through this process. Example: 58/15 TCI, 85/15 TCI, etc. This just means they've taken the core spec of that model, decided what the resonance curve should be, and started manufacturing them according to the new process. They are just the latest version of the pickup and likely don't sound that different. You could just as easily say 58/15 v2. TCI is also the model name for the pickup in the Paul's Guitar core and SE. This is simply because it was the first guitar to have used that process. They probably weren't thinking about using that naming convention for anything else... but then they did, making things confusing. That pickup should just be called "Paul's Pickup." In the SE line, the "TCI S" pickup is also in the 24/08, where as the 85/15 S is in the Custom 24 SE. I've captured the resonance curve of both pickups and while they have different specs, the curve is identical between them.

The new room makes me want to be there for the rest of my life:) also I caught you with the tears don't fall

So I had this very weird dream where Hunter showed off his Top 10 guitars of all time and one was a mod-project banjo with perloid top, telecaster pickup in the neck and some chunky humbucker in the bridge and I fear we now need this one to happen

SE models are amazing! They are absolutely the best guitars in their price range. Superb quality. I recently got a new SE 245 standard in tobacco burst and I love it! It's a dream to play and sounds like a monster!

I just bought a spotless tobacco burst SE Standard 24-08 from a pawn shop for $350. I love it! Sounds great and plays beautifully. It joins a Syracuse orange 2012 CE-22 that I purchased from a friend last year for $800. I like the SE better. Thanks for the review.

Got the 24-08 Custom couple of months ago, it's my favorite guitar, second being my USA Pro Strat, and last the Harley Benton Max signature guitar with reverse head stock and telsa pickups, for dive bombing. 24-08 for so many tone choices. For blues nothing beats the USA Strat Pro. Glad to hear the Standard is so good, the Custom is worth the extra pay IMHO.

Absolutely love prs every line is great 👍

YOUR TEARS DON'T FALLLL THEY CRASH AROUND MEEEEE

Nice sound!

The scooped body cut out makes getting to higher notes so much more comfortable than any of my other guitars which is a plus.

I have a Tabacco Sunburst SE Standard 24 with an Evertune bridge that I bought direct from Evertune. LOVE IT!!! Great bang for the buck guitar and I still have coil splitting with the push/pull tone knob. I prefer the aesthetic of that setup versus the 24-08 mini toggles. The only upgrades I'm considering are SE locking tuners and BKP Silo pickups.

My friend is obsessed with his PRS. Rightfully so, they're damn good

I have the slightly older SE Standard with the push/pull tone control for splitting. Cheaper than both my player series tele and strat, and the onky one of the three that didn't need any fret levelling. Love it to bits, and it fills that traditional LP slot in the armoury.

I've always loved the slow,high pitched e bow sound behind the riff in fish's music.

If those comments do roll in, he'd have had it coming.

The mini-toggles were originally used for the first PRS 408 style model in PS which then became a Core model. Before that, Splits/Taps were often just offered as 1 of the '5' options on a 5-way or you could only 'split/tap' both simultaneously via a single push/pull. The mini-toggles also enabled them to develop the 509 and Pauls guitar and now you can get the '408' switching on an SE Standard... The TCI process came out of the development for the JM635 Silver Sky Pick-ups. After that, they decided to apply that process and 'redesigned' the Pauls Guitar Pickups - which were originally just the 408 neck Pups. As they were 'new' Pups, not the 408 Pups anymore, they were named after the TCI Process so are Called TCI pick-ups. They have since gone on to apply the TCI process across all their US made guitars/Pups. When they came to make the Pauls SE guitar, they made an 'S' version of the 'TCI' pups and so you have the TCI 'S' Pups, just like you have 85/15 'S', 58/15 'S' - its 'just' the name. Carlos Santana also had a Gold Top SC SE released with the TCI 'S' Pups because he liked the sound - but don't offer any Split options. Those TCI 'S' Pups have gotten a lot of Positive reviews and so when they did the 35th Anniversary Cu24 SE, they used the TCI 'S' too but in this case, TCI is referring to the 'name' - they are not 85/15 'S' but the 'same' Pups used in the Pauls SE, Santana SC SE etc If you look at the Core models, you will see that Pauls Guitar has TCI pick-ups where as a Custom 24-08 has 85/15 TCI pickups... Hope that helps - I don't actually know if they are 'tuned' at SE level or just the name of them developed to sound as close to the Core TCI pups found in Pauls Guitar as they can. I'd be thinking that they don't do the same TCI process at all in SE/S2 lines but that the TCI 'S' Pups are just 'called' TCI because they are the import version of the 'TCI' pups found in the Core Pauls - much the Same as 85/15 'S' are the import version of 85/15's Hope that helps!

how i understand it what Paul is trying to say to Hunter: if you look at a high pass filter, the capacitor comes first to filter out the lower frequencies, and in a low-pass filter it's the other way round. So it could be that they've been experimenting with the number of windings on the pickups, and the capacitor in the controlcavity to create another (or more balanced as Paul says it) band-pass filter. correct me if I'm wrong btw :)

Hey I have that exact guitar! I bought it right when they came out. Mine has a fluence modern in the bridge and some Graphtech ratio tuners. Not a fan of the tremolo, think I’m going to try and block it off somehow and just have it like a hardtail.

Finally a prs video that isn't just blues and jazz and jizzed 😂😂😂

I ordered this model on purpose especially for those mini toggles, and the reason is cause when playing live, the need to switch fast from neck humbucker pickup to neck coil split, is difficult with push pull. It's much easier and faster to switch with the mini toggles.

I picked up this very model a few months ago and I absolutely love it! You’re spot on about the split coil tone. Best I’ve heard! I was wondering if in your research you found out what kind of magnets they used for the pickups. I can’t find any info on that anywhere. I was just curious because the pickups sound SO good!

I bought a PRS Custom SE 24 so there's no coil split, which is fine for me but it did come with body, neck and head binding so it looks and plays brilliant. Apparently the head binding is quite rare, so I was told after I purchased it. The maple top is also strange as it appears more like oil drops than any sort of stripe or quilt. Very interesting guitar!

Wow, first the SE Silver Sky and now that Standard. Feels like PRS is not afraid of cannibalizing their own market and I love it and they most likely too, because having a S2 on your wish list is much less money for them instead of me having a cheaper model in my guitar stand.

Push pulls don't ever get smacked - not unless your playstyle is 'constantly' smacking your Tone Control and then you probably will knock it. It doesn't 'pop up' a great distance. The main drawback with Push/Pull is that they can be a bit of a pain to pull up - especially with sweaty hands when gigging - especially if you also get to carried away and pull the knob off if it becomes a bit loose. Its also not that easy to see quickly if your up and splitting or down and in full HB mode so of the 3 'main' choices (Push/Pull, Push/Push or mini-toggles) its not the 'best' for hot, sweaty and performing artists. Push/Push is better because you don't need to grip to pull up - but still not easy to tell at a quick glance if its up or down. The best in my opinion is the mini-toggles - doesn't matter if you Sweaty, in a dark room gigging, you can easily switch and can easily see or feel if the mini-toggle is up or down so I think its the best solution overall - just requires space in the cavity and more holes in the top - potentially not as 'aesthetically' pleasing and for some 'off-putting' to see multiple switches...

Hi. Great review. Just need a clarification. You said at around 4:11 that the PUPs are split, but in the official website of the guitar, the specification said it's coil-tap. Can you clarify which is which?

I got my standard 24-08 a couple months ago. I wanted to simplify my rig. Got tired of dragging two guitars, heavy pedalboard, and cab around. The PRS has now replaced my telecaster and Les Paul, for the most part. Replaced my board with a Pod Go, and got a PA speaker. I know it's not exactly the same, but does the job well enough. Ps. Replace/ upgrade the knobs. $20 on Amazon.
