  Beautiful guitar. Incredible value. I've played my share of PRS in my day, and you definitely get a great PRS experience with this SE Custom 24. You get a mahogany body, nicely carved maple top, rosewood fretboard, and birds. The birds are nice too, not plastic junk inlays.. This thing seriously looks like alot of American Custom 24's I've played, and quite frankly its more comfortable and plays better. Come's equipped with .009's, and I think I'm going to leave them on for a while. Alot of players are changing out the nut and tuners for locking tuners...a quite affordable upgrade, but not necessary upon arrival. Plays beautifully, really nice tone unplugged, versatile 25" scale length. Nice tone range from warm to crunchy. Great intonation upon delivery. PRS SE division is not messing around.

  i have been playing guitar for 25 years, i have owned and do own a lot of top end guitars.so i have been eyeing this model for around 8 weeks and today i got it in the tri burst finish.this prs plays like a dream,the wide thin neck profile for me is a dream come true.the distortion sounds im pulling out of my lone 6 spider iii amp are amazing.the clean sounds breath taking.this guitar leaves my evh wolfgang special for dead.now im a huge evh fan but this prs tops the wolfie hands down(personally for me that is)the trem on this guitar is crazy,im dive bombing, bar fluttering like it was a floyd,and it returns to zero every time.but that neck, wow i have never felt so at ease with a guitar in 20 years.no setup needed here perfect out of the box.it was like someone made this guitar for me personally.now made in Korea who cares the quality here leaves most of my upmarket models feeling average.so in closing im am so happy i took the plunge and got this guitar.and it wont be my last prs se model.next for me will be the 2012 orianthi in scarlet red.

• Great All Around Guitar

  I picked one of these up at my local GC about 8 months ago and have been loving it ever since. The playability is second to none, the neck profile is thin yet substantial, the action can be set quite low with no dead spots, and the fretboard is silky smooth. The tone is great, and makes it sound right at home in almost any style of music. The maple neck gives it a snappy tone with tight bass, and the 24 fret neck pushes the neck pickup just a little closer to the bridge, which gives the neck pickup a little more definition. Drive sounds with this thing are killer, harmonics are a breeze and it has a nice punchy, full sound. The pickups themselves breathe tone, and are fairly hot, but clean up very nicely, running both pickups sounds very similar to the "in-between" sound of a strat, despite having humbuckers. I was actually quite surprised at how great the clean tones were on this. The only tone I have a hard time getting is a warm neck pickup blues tone, again due to the placement of the neck pickup. The setup was nearly perfect, just required some string height adjustment that was more of a personal preference thing. Other than that, no sharp fret ends, nut was good, trem was good, inlays are done perfectly, knobs and switch are rock solid, and the pots have a great taper and are very useable. This is my 2nd SE and I'll keep going for these over cheaper "budget" guitars because I know PRS stands behind the SE line and makes no compromises in quality. Unfortunately, the SE line doesn't feature coil tap and some of the other high end bells and whistles, but it's still perfectly useable, and feels and sounds great. Definitely check one out!
