I’ve yet to see anyone comment that the finish is Matt on that guitar, not sure about the other pia’s though
@@filipewilson1842 You are correct that the Onyx Black color is a matte finish. It is the only matte finish offered on the PIA so far. All the other colors released were gloss finishes.
Nice review
Subscribed! Thanks for the detailed video and beautiful playing!

Great demo, I ordered the Pearl white w/rosewood be here Tuesday
Lot of poeple that have demonstrated the cleans were sounding a bit dark. Yours was beautiful pristine cleans. Loved it
I agree with this comment. Also, I tend to adjust the sound with an equalizer pedal on each guitar I use.
Ive been trying not to buy one of these all week but I am losing the battle.
The rosewood model at EDH Music was the one for me.
@@LessonsWithCameron that black with the maple is screaming my name 😂
picking up a se nf3 pearl white rosewood on monday. looking forward to it very much.
Thank you for the great review! Got the orange w/ rosewood today.
Your initial thoughts? I just ordered one on Reverb and was shipped today.🤟🏼😎
Took delivery of one of these this morning. I picked the colour youre playing
That almost looks like pelham blue, beatifull tint.
Fantastic demo and review! Can you tell a difference between the maple and rosewood neck in feel or tone, or is it largely cosmetic? The maple sounded a little brighter to my ears... Thank you!
They were fairly even to me with a slight bright edge to the maple, but that might be a placebo effect. I wouldn’t swear one way or the other. I prefer ebony as my fretboard of choice, so the rosewood was a better feel to my hands. I like maple, too but I preferred the rosewood between these two.
@@LessonsWithCameron great info - thanks, again!
Good tone and great recording. Nice video. You sold me a guitar.
it sounds like a fat dirty Strat (Silver Sky)
This is what you’ll get if you bought eg.Warmoth body and neck and fairly decent parts and put them together in a few hours. Except it would cost a few hundred.
Nicely done. Sold me. Heck yeah I subbed.
Great drive tones. Wasn't that impressed with the clean tones
Excellent playing demo of a truly great sounding guitar. I like the relevant information popping up onto the screen which is a great help. I’ve been thinking about picking up a PRS for a few months now and this could be the one! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Great sounding guitar that looks beautiful. You really seemed to enjoy playing it as well which tells me all I need to know. It's a winner! 🏆😁
Great demo appreciate that you did both maple and rosewood. Just subscribed
Excellent video ! Amazing tones ! I want one !
Okay wow! Amazing playing! Please share what your setup was for clean and dirty!??
Thank you! The rig was an Orange Rockerverb MkIII 50 combo, PRS Mary Cries compressor, and EarthQuaker Devices Avalanche Run. The clean channel was set very clean, so if there was a light breakup at any point that would be the Harby Pedals Centauri. The dirt channel was set to filthy and was the same pedal set as clean with the Centauri running.
That one sounds fantastic...I finally might be getting a PRS...thanks for the video!
Nice SE NF3 tones! Tempted to trade my SE Swamp Ash in for the NF3 maple version. These NF/DD(S) pups get great distortion tones and totally different but sweet clean tones.
Thank you! I really like the SAS. I would definitely keep it and add a NF3. They’re so different and the NF3 has what I think are unmatched cleans in the SE range. The woofy voice of the Swamp Ash Special is also unique. Both are just killer guitars particularly for how inexpensive they are.
Dang it. I prefer the look of the rosewood neck, but the maple has so much more snap and sparkle.
@@thebrysmith3 if it’s any consolation, I felt the rosewood played like butter in my hands and the maple made me work for it. I did feel like there was a tiny tonal gain on the maple, but the rosewood was just a little better setup and was the one I liked best. A small neck adjustment would have probably evened the playing field, but I almost never turn a wrench until after the demo video unless it’s dreadful out of the box. I hope to show the authentic first impression right out of the box.
@@thebrysmith3 got this neck on SE Swamp Ash and it's very fast and playable.
The NF3 sounds amazing but The SAS is killer . After 4 months of SAS ownership it has become one of my all time favorite guitars . As mentioned keep the SAS and get the NF3 when you can .
That sounded great. I would love to hear some Ty Tabor riffing on it
Great review!! Appreciate you showing cleans as well as the dirty sounds that these can do. Very well done, you have a new sub.
Thank you! I try to cover a few different tonal angles
Beautiful sounds and appearance - I especially like the metallic orange. Thanks for the tasteful playing, especially the slow clean that really demonstrates the guitar's natural sound. It actually does gain surprisingly well too though. I love mini 'buckers and despite the fancy name, these pickups seem to be just hotter than normal mini 'buckers.
I can’t help but love the way these play clean. It’s such a rich and rewarding sound.
That's a Beautiful Guitar 🎸🎶🎶 Thanks For Sharing 🎸🎶🎶🎶
Nice guitar!!!!!
Well well well Mr. Carbrey, we meet again, Moscow, bike festival, some 15 years ago, Charlie B. band show, late night beers - rings a bell?
Wow. It sure has been a minute!!
Hard to tell playing with effects, i wish they would play straight thru an amp no effects
You do need to cab for this? Or does this work as an actual mini amp? I really wanna get one to practice
You can use it without a cab as a headphone amp or use the line out into your interface. If you want to hear it out loud, you will need a speaker. The PPC108 works, but it really should have a 1x12 if you want it to sound good.
Lots of people misunderstood high pass filter It’s a treble bleed HPF / Treble Bleed has significant role only when you roll down the volume it retains high frequency and filtered the low end when volume being roll down i.e In crunch mode, roll down the volume will cleans up the tone instead of lower the volume output
This sounds like a pretty clear explanation. This is my first experience with this type of pull pot. I will definitely experiment with it more and see what I can get out of it. I definitely didn’t notice much when pulled, but often wasn’t running full volume. Not knowing the volume level was playing the primary role must have created a placebo effect, since there was definitely a difference at times and others I felt like maybe my ears were just tired and I wasn’t hearing it anymore. This would explain a lot and I’ll definitely expand on that in the future after gaining more experience with it. Thanks!
Ur welcome, btw i ilke your demo 😊 Thanks for sharing
When you have the volume at 1 and gain at 10 every setting sounds like shit.
That’s fairly accurate. This amp really shines with the volume at 10 and the gain at 1.
Thanks for the excellent demo! Just to be clear, you didn't change any amp settings when you switched cabs, right? I can't believe how different the cabs sound!
I believe I just moved the cable and the mic between cab swaps. It’s a big difference. It also sounds even bigger with a 212 or a 412.
My favourite is Gibson Slash les Paul standard, but not Ibanez.
Never thought this guitar would turn out to be my favourite🔥
Me too
I am a novice and i had difficulty on finding an electric guitar, but thanks to you i made up my mind on buying this one. The sound is indeed so clear and bright! Thank you for your excellent demonstration!
The PAC311H is a fantastic guitar. Grab one if you can find one!
I think this is an excellent review; Tx for doing it! It’s interesting hearing a non-miked amp. Keeps things honest but maybe hard to capture the fidelity. Nice job!
Thank you. I’m pretty sure the amp was recorded using a Shure SM57 in front of the combo.
The combination of PRS and Gretsch will cover every sound. I did a lot of research. Here are the best keyboards: Roland Juno X 61, Roland Juno DS 61, Yamaha MX61, Korg Nautilus, Yamaha MODX6+ 61, Roland Fantom-06 61, Akai MPC Key 61.
Cameron, thanx for explaining all of the features, but are there onley springs for getting The tremelo in tune, ore more? 😃
Just the tremolo springs.
do you have an SE Santana PRS in the new range
I don’t own one, but I have seen a few come through our shop. They’re definitely great SEs.
Nice review, can't wait to get mine in 6 months lol. I do feel like for that insane price it should've had locking tuners and I'd prefer a truss rod adjustment Charvelle style with the wheel below 24th fret instead of hassling with the truss rod cover there kinda annoying. At least they should've made it removable without tools like on other cheaper Ibanezes
I definitely agree on the truss rod cover. The slide to adjust style covers seem like a no-brainer to me. After having it now for a while, it’s still the one I want to play most of the time. Any criticism I would have had melts away when I start to play it.
I keep my truss rod cover off like Steve
@@korat10 I lose them so easily, but I hate turning those screws. The struggle is real.
Shame that the body shape isn’t closer to the real CE 🙈
Other than the upper shoulder’s interior carve and obviously the depth of the violin carve, they are extremely similar. We just held one up next to a CE24 for comparison. The heel is a little more manageable and petite on the SE, as well.
@@LessonsWithCameron the upper shoulder and the depth of the carve are extremely crucial 😉 I understand that the SE CE is extremely affordable but extremely affordable with the same carve would be extremely desirable I have seen Chinese PRS copies that are much closer to the US CE guitars so I know that it’s possible 🫤 a shame that a Chinese PRS actually looks better 😐
What were you using for the drive tone at the 4:30 mark? Sounds great!
That should have been amp distortion plus a Harby Centauri and then the rest of the chain. The OD pedal is the Centauri and the amp is an Orange Rockerverb Mk3.
You bought all these guitars??? I can't even afford one :(
These were leant to me for the demo. These three are not mine.
Tnks for the video! I have a question.... I recently bought the dc5 and in "boost" mode the bass and midrange knobs don't work. Is this normal or is it a fault? Thank you.
This is normal.
👆 The best review I found on the item. Thanks for showing the mid range settings. Other guys didn't.
And I thught my SE 594 Double Cut wassweet; just received a new SE Quilted Custom 24 in Eriza Verde. It's a fun guitar to play, & sounds and looks fantastic. Thumbs up to PRS.
Of the three guitars, which guitar model is the best?
It really depends. The Swamp Ash has a unique sound compared to most PRS, so for that sound there is only one choice. The SE CE24 is an incredible value and a great guitar. The Custom 24 Quilt was the one I felt played best and felt most capable in my hands. It had a refined tone and broader low end than the CE24. So, for uniqueness I would choose the SAS, for the PRS experience I would choose the Quilt, and for the budget conscious I would choose the CE24. They’re all much better than anticipated and are ridiculously inexpensive during this year’s holiday sale.
@@LessonsWithCameron Thank you for your explanation.
Well explained. I have a new SE Quilted Custom 24, it covers a lot of ground in my collection;I have an SE 594 Double Cut & an SE Silver Sky..All very high mojo playing instruments! @@LessonsWithCameron
@@poodleguiderpeyes7388 The Quilted Custom 24 is such a sleeper. It seems like it’s just another Custom 24, but it’s just better in the hands.
