679$ in the US vs 1000€ here in germany, thats just annoying and i don`t like the proprietary pickups so i just stick to schecter and LTD in this price range. cheers 🎸🎸

I only wish you could switch all of the pick-ups to single coil. Other than that, what's not to love. Regardless, I wouldn't mind owning one.

Pulled the trigger on a gorgeous vintage burst. This one is a two-piece and the grains match beautifully. After 50 years of playing countless guitars, passing through my hands, the special 22 Limited edition is the best guitar on the planet. Because the Special 22 is so pricey I ordered one of these for playing out. I fully expect that it will deliver everything I need at a fraction of the cost.

I think this is my absolute favorite PRS I've ever seen. Maple fretboard, single and humbuckers, the look is stellar.

i personally love maple fretboards, and seeing this from a PRS is just wow

I love maple fretboards as long as they’re satin and not gloss. For some reason, Squier is good about this but not Fender…

This is the first guitar I have seen in a while that just made me want to buy one. The price on them is fantastic for what it is.

The inlay really looks great with maple fretboard and the green color pulls it all together. One of the best SE's I have seen. Great find for sure.

Here are the pickup configurations if anyone is wondering... Push/Pull Down: 1. Bridge HB / 2. Bridge HB + Neck HB / 3. Neck HB Push/Pull Up: 1. Bridge HB + Middle / 2. Bridge HB + Middle + Neck Split / 3. Neck Split + Middle

First PRS I ever played was an American Swamp ash special from the 90s. Had a split rail pickup in the middle. Such a nice guitar with tones and playability for a lifetime of enjoyment.

I'm truly impressed with the versatility of this guitar, the tone assortment, the price and how close are the strings to the frets without buzzing and allowing bendings in the highest frets. A real WOW guitar.

If you have this guitar, don’t you find it very hard to play. Very uncomfortable to hold?

Thanks for the review, dude. Short, sweet and fully informative. That's the way to do it!

This is why PRS is my favorite. Such an amazing company that makes the most amazing guitars!

Nice and clear pickups. Even when they're distorted.

Yesssss, I can tell the tone is in this man's fingers. Smooth. Nice guitar. Thanks Darrell. 👍

Your playing makes me smile! The guitar is beautiful in sound and appearance.

I was super stoked to see the new additions to the SE lineup. Decisions, decisions.

I have one of the original US made ones from the 90's with the original McCarty pick ups and Seymour Duncan rails. Still kicks ass. Not sure why they ever stopped making them. Nice to them making a comeback .

Great demo! That guitar looks fantastic.

As the owner of 2 PRS SE guitars, I would love to add this one as well. If I were to own one, I would replace the three-way switch with a "Free-Way" Switch (I like to use the middle pickup by itself), and replace the pickups with Seymour Duncan pickups.

Beautiful guitar and remarkable sound.

Absolutely stunning!!

mine arrived today. It looks like a one piece body because they so beautifully matched two pieces. It is gorgeous. If you look long enough, you will find two piece bodies out there like mine. Beyond its beauty is the incredible tone. It is a blues monster. The single coil tones are so glassy. It gives me shivers. It will replace my fender, USA professional ii strat as my favorite single coil guitar. My only beef is that the fingerboard edges are not rolled. That really does make a big difference, but I will probably sand it down myself. The quality of the build is ridiculous, just perfect. I can’t say enough nice things about this guitar except buy one while they’re 20% off because the price of these things is going to go through the roof.

What a lovely paint work!

I just got the sunburst delivered ! 9.6 lbs ! Boat anchor ! Needs neck or saddle adjustment. Fine grain wood, nothing like anyone I've seen on the net. It's going back !

HOLY SWEETNESS!!! And, as usual, not sure what was more glorious... the guitar, or the dude making it sing!!!

Keep in mind that this an advertisement paid for by PRS... Nice playing though - I agree.

This guitar sounds so delicious 😋, I’m a sucker for PRS tones! Definitely a must buy

Love the color and interesting tones

As always very tasty presentation! 👌

Thanks for the clip. I really enjoy your playing!

Guitar sounds really good. Nice licks DB. I like this guitar 😊👍👏💯🎸🎸

Just ordered one via Sweetwater (backorder till Jan 24 on the Iris Blue) after watching your fantastic demo. Thanks Darrell I hope y'all stay warm this winter. Looking to be a cold one

What do you think of it now? Would love to hear some feedback. I am ready to pull the trigger but somehow I am hesitating to see if it’s the right choice 😊

Now that is one very sweet guitar. PRS always does guitars right. 😻

i love this guitar, thanks Darrell

Great video. There was a limited series with maple necks with black birds and black binding on the neck. They looked stunning.

Spanky, Quacky, Glassy!

I feel exactly the same as you about the looks of that guitar. It’s gorgeous. Plus the maple fingerboard is an absolute I picture also think that helps to give it its snap. I myself would rewire that so I could utilize that single coil as a single coil. As an owner of a SE and one that holds its own with my Les Paul and my fender Strats, I could see myself looking for one of those. Nice job, Darrel

and I would say that you want to rewire it for single coil because in your mind, that’s necessary to get certain tones. Believe me when I tell you the single coil tones on this guitar are insane. You don’t need to change a single thing to get glassy, single coil, quack that would send the most outstanding Stratocaster running with his tail between his legs. This guitar is single coil, heaven.

gotta say. ive not watched this channel for a good few months and your playing has improved 10 fold

Cool PRS dude! Hey, I just pulled the trigger on a Yamaha Pacifica after weighing the pros and cons and checking out your review. I was over at Sweetwater and it was out of stock for like 8 months but as soon as I got the notification it was back in stock (today) I got it. \m/ I really enjoy your channel dude, keep it up.

Love that guitar. Beautiful. I'm not a teal guy, but that is awesome. Thanks.

Looks killer with the maple!

Brilliant, this could be my first double cut guitar. Well done PRS this is such a complete package i.m convinced. personally i like the V burst better but , hey, this is sweet.

She is definitely a Singing guitar! Thanks for the great presentation. I just bought one myself.

Thanks for the great review on this very unique PRS.

You convinced me Darrell. I purchased the guitar. Not many remaining. I practically had to beg my guitar store to sell their last remaining one to me and not to someone else. I believe PRS is now backlogged with orders to May 2024. I guess we can blame this video for that. 😁

You can really here from Darrell's voice that he's truly enjoying the guitar. And now Darrell you made me want to get one for Christmas.

I have a 1990 PRS Special, all mahogany, but I love this one and I want one! Nice tones!

Soon as they became available I simply had to have one in this amazing colour Definitely not disappointed. It is an AMAZING guitar My seventh Prs and one of the very best SE PRS s are so damn good 🎸👍😎

Lovely. Easily the most interesting guitar PRS makes.

My next guitar. Love it in charcoal. Recently subscribed. Loving your vids!

I like it ! ThX so much Darrell

This is the PRS I’m most interested in

Beautiful guitar... must resist...

I want one of these good lawd

I am drawn to these tone more than any other PRS model.

It's a really cool guitar, sounds unique and looks good. I have to try out this guitar. 😊🤘

Awesome video. Can’t wait until it arrives, it has a great price.

Great review and playing my friend. I just got the PRS SE Paul's guitar and had Sweetwater satinize the neck and do a few other mods. It plays and sounds awesome. Looking to get the singlecut McCarty 594 SE in the new charcoal finish after the first of the year. Probably going to have Sweetwater satinize the entire guitar. I'm not much for poly gloss. All that nonsense to say, I really love PRS and the swamp ash will probably be my final PRS... And yes it'll be satin 🤪

beautiful guitar

The KZread Shrug Face is strong with this thumbnail haha in all seriousness though, killer playing as usual Darrell

I bought Fiore last week. It's amaizing. I compared it to my USA singlecut 2001 and the sustain is similar and a lots of fantastic tones. This swamp ash special SE is close to old one swamp ash i think. It was my wishlist before Fiore. Perfect option

the best itteration of the SAS was the one that had Narrow field pickups, since we probably wont see a re issue of the NF3 i would love to see a SE SAS type D version (the type D pickups used in the vela and s2 studio) for some reason the pickup rings on this seem very pointy for me, 100% would need those changed out or rounded off. cant wait to get one of these though

Those leads were pretty awesome

I like how PRS revamps their SE models aesthetics to be more aligned with their US made guitars (since 2017? if I’m not mistaken). It’s visually beautiful, sounds great and it offers good value for its price compared to competitors at its price range.

Yesss that’s sweet

I'm not a fan of PRS but have to say that's a seriously nice finish. Wow!

Great guitar. I'm a collector myself of acoustic and electric.

Great! I mean player, guitar and review. 👋 😁

I had a core model and was my favorite guitar for many years

Danggg prs is sending these out to the boys!!

Man have yet to find a prs thats lured me over, the silver sky came close but these are beautiful and sounds insanely good 👏😍 might have to shell out again lol 🔥

Thanks Darrell! 👍 Mikey Likes It! 😁 Mike in San Diego. 🌞🎸🚀🖖

That’s such a gorgeous guitar man. I also love your playing. It’d be so awesome if you did some slide playing sometime akin to a fellow Canadian (and the guy who inspired me to pick up the guitar) Ian Thornley.

Price is still high for an SE version. Hopefully it drops down.

KILLER🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the great review as always on this channel. I love prs, and this guitar shows why! Could you please review the Squier bullet HT HSS? It's a beauty Strat for only 279$ (CAD), and I think you should spread the word about this thing through your channel!

GAS is real!! I haven't wanted an SE model more than this.

I had one of the very first SAS's in Seafoam Green and loved it. I would grab one of these in a heartbeat but for one thing: the wide-thin neck. The original SAS was wide-fat. I just don't get along with skinny necks.

Yeah, that's a really nice guitar. top on my list right now. There has to be a simple wiring mod to get the middle by itself. Thats the only flaw is that they didn't add a 5 way switch. I'd swap the pickups and tuners though. I'll also change the bridge with a MannMade. Then will be an amazing guitar.

... yeeeeeeeesssssss... soooo good!

Every PRS is better than a Fender and a Gibson together!! Even the SE's! That's a super strat with carbon nut and a beautiful working PRS std. Trem! Don't forget the beautiful birdies! 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

I agree , but you have to admit, the fender tele is nice as well and to me, the G&L lineup is very well in sound and make. Combination, I would gear with the PRS SAS, Fender American Tele, G&L Comanche strat and either a Gibson Les PauL or the PRS SE McCarty 594.

@@ayersbiz6458 I played all of it have a 62 Gibson LP, a 82 Korean strat, some of originals old guitars like Egmont, Hagstrom, Höfner, Ibanez LP 77 and so many more, but none of it beats the PRS and it's sound!

Nice! Just noticed there’s a price drop on your Sweetwater link so it’s currently at $679. Great deal! If I hadn’t just bought a strat to replace the one I sold a few years back I may be inclined, although I would have liked to isolate the single coil. As always great review thanks.

All the SE’s are 20% off thru the end of the year. Probably gonna grab one personally. I agree about not being able to access the single coil. I’ll probably rewire it if I get the SAS.

I just got mine, and it blows the doors off my USA Professional ii strat for single coil tones. There is no re-wiring necessary if you’re looking for Strati tones. This thing is an animal and a Blues driver. I absolutely love it!

nice review

I'm impressed, clean to dirty in all positions.

Nooo, I have too many guitars, why PRS, why must you make cool guitars are such affordable prices!? I’m gonna have to get my hands on one. The versatility and looks sold me. Great demo and review. I want one.

@DarrellBraunGuitar......-. you fake

What a beauty

WOW ! I LOVE that. What amp are you using ?

Favorite color. Nice guitar. All you have to do is put a pull push pot on the volume and have the single pick up on its own.

Darrell is a GAS lighter!! What a beautiful guitar

Darrell please do interviews with other guitar aficionados, I would really love to watch that

I own 4 PRS SEs, and have owned 6 others. This one is my favorite.

PRS is running the table

Hey Darrell, love your reviews, so helpful! Hey brought one of these home last night, mixed feelings as there is No sustain at all! Small quibble over sharp bridge saddle on low E, and some slightly sharp frets, but the sustain is a problem! What to do? Just need full set up? Had a Prs se custom 22 semi-hollow with same 58/15s pickups and sustain was amazing! What say you?

Noice!

Very nice

Nice!

I’m hoping we’ll see more of the Specialty models from the Core done for the SE line, like the 509 or the Semi-Hollow Special.

I own a 2019 PRS Custom 24 SE roasted maple that I bought in 2019. It has a roasted maple neck with black bird inlays. There was only 2,200 made for the US market. Mine is in Trampus Green. I can’t say enough good things about it. 🇺🇸

I bought a brand new Fender Player Strat, Limited Edition British Racing Green. Had it for 3 months - just exchanged it for this exact guitar. I have to wait a week to get it but gawt dang do I wish I saw this prior to buying that Strat. First time ever buying a brand new guitar for myself (I always buy used) and first time buying a Fender and I will never buy a Fender again. The neck pickup stopped working entirely, the lacquer on the frets started chipping away, the bridge humbucker would drop into the body after a couple days of playing,. if I didn't keep an eye on it and re-adjust, the area around the truss rod adjustment nut was scathed which I didn't notice at the store, the humbucker was also as badly tarnished as my 20 year old epiphone after only a month and the fret work was god awful.

This is going to be a Fender Player killer

Cool!

I saw that advertised great price !

This I like. Wow.

Thx much. Good take. One observation re presentation: you say “yeh” a lot. I didn’t realize how many times I said ‘um” until someone finally had the courage to tell me…and they were right. Take care
