Buyers Guide for Guitars under $1,000
Sweet, I have the Maple neck version and I love the pickup tone, has become one of my favorite guitars. I have a review of mine also if you want to see the Maple neck. Thanks for your review.
Thanks for watching! I prefer a rosewood board personally but I do enjoy the sound of maple from time to time. The pickups are pretty great for sure!
prs se one. it's the coolest one, so underrated
@@jroobz the SE One is a really cool model. Have you tried the Santana SE One Abraxis? That is such a pretty guitar as well. Personally, I tried the single pickup thing and just couldn’t seem to flow with it. To each his own though! Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 only seen one in person once. I have a 2019 ltd edition korina model and it is sensational. to each his own indeed sir, you have a magnificent collection of prsesssesess. rock on 🤘
@@jroobz just wait bro. I have 2 PRS CE 24’s on the way for review. A semi-hollow in Matteo blue and a satin, open pore finish Goldtop. Both of them sound and play phenomenally well. I will also do a review of the PRS SE 245 w/soapbar pickups that sounds soooo good. Stay tuned man!
does anyone know what sized allen key is used for the truss rod?...got a set of metric and imperial and none of them seem to fit...google says 5mm but i cant get that one..or a 4mm to fit
Sorry man, not sure on this one. I would imagine Yamahas site would have the info. Hope you figure it out! Thanks for watching.
bro we couldnt even hear the guitar sounds
I don’t quite know how to respond to this one. I listened back just to make sure and heard the guitar just fine. Maybe check your volume?? 🤷
Great review! I just got a used one in blonde, and I love it! And yes, that neck takes getting to used to - that thing is half of a baseball bat lol. I usually play slightly thinner necks, but I got used to it pretty quick. I haven't owned a Tele in years, and this one makes me wonder why I waited so long. My other guitars are jealous, and my wife said they miss me haha!
Glad to hear it man! Just wait though, I picked up a dream machine the other day and the review will shortly follow. Not your typical run of the mill semi-hollow tele coming down the pike! Thanks for watching.
Is the back n sides rosewood?? Don't recall you saying in the video.
The back and sides are a rosewood laminate. You don't get full solid wood back and sides in a Taylor until the 300 series. Some will scoff at paying the starting price for a laminate back and sides guitar like this one. You can find them used and in great condition all over the internet. Hope that info finds you well. Thanks for watching!
Great singing man I’m now a fan 👍🏻and thank you so much for your review on the gs mini just ordered myself the rosewood
Thanks man! That means a lot, stay tuned for more!
Hello old friend! Saw you pop up on Facebook so I wanted to see what you are up. Just wanted to send you some encouragement and tell you that you’re loved. God bless you buddy!
@@brianglover6672 thanks so much Bro! I hope all is well with you and yours!
Paul, the tonewoods king, makes a guitar out of cottonwood finally. I sold my nf3 but would only buy it again if he does a reissue NF3 out of cottonwood syrup or just plain cotton.
I am still up in the air about tonewood being a truly significant factor in the sound in electric guitars. There are too many videos showing how the only true factors influencing sound/tone are the electronics, strings, amp/speaker, and overall construction. Until I see something otherwise I find it hard to believe the type of wood actually changes the sound of the electric guitar. Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 I’m pointing out the irony in Paul’s litany about tonewood impact, when he then makes a guitar out of poplar, the softest wood in instrument making. My NF3 was a ding magnet of cosmic proportions, mainly due to soft body wood. Sold it for that reason. While tonewoods are generally overrated, a poor choice of wood may have a negative impact of attenuating the vibration frequencies. So in an electric guitar the main goal would be for the wood NOT to attenuate anything and poplar is one of those that I find questionable because it is generally softer than the alternatives. I’ve seen a few deformations of bridge post routing holes in poplar body guitars occurring in less than 2 years of use, which I’ve never seen in any other electric guitar wood. Since I don’t want my bridge to drift out of alignment with time and climate variation, I find poplar to be too soft of a construction material to provide a long lasting stable platform for an electric guitar. Other than that, when people talk about maple vs rosewood boards, korina vs mahogany bodies on solid body electrics, I perceive it as white noise. Give me a properly dried through-and-through platform from a structurally adequate hardwood with a sold neck-body joint, sealed and PU coated, with properly aligned hardware and decent electronics. And please, no cottonwood.
@@linvesel sorry, apparently the irony was lost on me! Lol, all great points and I agree wholeheartedly. Thanks again!
Sorry, but I waited a long time to purchase a Taylor and came to find out they're not braced worth a damn. Mine isn't even a Year old yet and it has a belly like Santa Claus. I take very good care of my instruments. The 114's and 214's are built similarly. They are Waaaaaaaaaaaay over priced for the piss poor craftsmanship you get. $800 for a 114e w/ a softbag. I also have a Yamaha 820 that I bought new for less than $300 and it smokes my Taylor. Man, I am very disappointed that I spent my hard earned money on Taylor Junk. It sounds ok, but I know it will need some serious repair to be corrected, If it can be corrected at all. Plus the electronics leave a lot to be desired, Please do some more research on the bracing problems with those guitars and that way you won't be misleading your viewers. Good luck with your channel.
@@CobblerzsongImmaSoleMan I’m sorry that your experience has been so negative. I’ve owned many guitars from multiple manufacturers over my 25 years playing and have never had any issues with tops bowing out or the opposite, sinking in. I keep mine in cases/bags almost all the time but just haven’t had an issue. Climate and humidity levels play a big part in the issues you’ve suggested as well but, again I’ve never had an issue. Thanks for watching.
I couldn’t agree less with this. Having owned plenty of Yamaha FGs over the years, none of them have compared to my Taylor 214e in tone or build quality. Taylors I have had over the years have survived seasonal changes and the rigors of time just fine, certainly no worse than any other maker’s guitars.
@@stevehud100 I am in the same boat as far as the Taylor’s I’ve owned have never had any issues with bracing or tops warping/cracking. Really, I’ve never had much issue at all with any guitars as I keep them in cases and out of sunlight for the most part. We all experience things differently though. Thanks for watching!
Great sound in this guitar. Much appreciate the demonstration because I’m thinking of buying this model
@@Nomadahtous it is really easy to play and sounds so different than other Taylor models due to the different shape and construction. Great guitar for sure! Thanks for watching and check out some of my other acoustic reviews.
What camera do you use? I love how clear it is :) Or is it the lighting?
@@guitarcafeguy it is a mixture of things. The camera is super high quality, Sony A7 mark iii with the prime lens. I also use two lights at different temperatures that make it look really even. The light coming in from the window is just a plus. I decided before I started the channel that a high quality camera was most important. Thanks for asking and I hope you subscribe!
I own that exact guitar. Its great.
I love that color so much. Obviously it plays so well too! Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 It's a nice guitar. I tried it at a guitar store and it reminds me of a PRS - ES - 335, if that would be a thing maybe. It's a great choice for blues players, it definitely looks great too, but I went with a Rosewood Silver Sky SE and I have a Epiphone Sheraton Pro ii and a Maple Fender Player Strat. I'd like many guitars but I limit myself to five, Ideally I wish it would be around four guitars to not feel overly material and wither I will utilise everything.
@@josephlerz6889 I am currently in the process of shrinking my own collection so keep your eyes peeled! You might find one of mine on reverb soon. lol
I just ordered one for playing out in open mics , I got the Dark tan color. Talk about a good looking guitar.
It is such a beautiful guitar! I absolutely love the triple dot inlay at the 12th fret, the color of the sunburst, the gold hardware. I could go on and on! If you upgrade to the 16 series they increase the size of the fret markers which I love even more. The L series of Yamaha guitars is simply remarkable. Thank you for watching and stay tuned as I am re-recording most of my acoustic guitar videos with a better microphone so you can really hear their brilliance.
@Sick_Strings01 I don't know why but I scowered youtube to find someone playing the S6ARE Dark Tan... the only other one with dark tan is the Sj6? I wonder why it's so hard to find the one I got?
@@CrayZgunZ it’s funny you mention that specific guitar. I previously owned a dark finish LS16 but sold it. I think it’s a case of that particular finish just not selling well but I’m not sure. I also think most people buy them and keep them! Glad you love it though.
PRS S2 guitars are now using the same electronics as PRS Core guitars.
@@derekpeace7668 in another, more recent video, I mention this same thing. PRS actually listens to the consumer! Thanks for watching.
I think I really like this guitar!!! I was looking for a hollow body...
It is truly, an amazing guitar. I haven’t found another guitar that sounds quite like this model yet and I’ve owned 2 now, both sounded incredible. You won’t regret the purchase at all. There is also an option of one with a Piezo pickup built into it that is so dynamic! Thanks for watching.
Probably need to strum way harder so the tone wood can come out.
@@oinkooink not typically a problem for me as I am heavy handed with my right hand! Lol, I have since upgraded my microphone setup and will do a re-review of sorts for the acoustic guitars soon. Thanks for watching!
Mccarty 594
Can’t go wrong with it. Such a good guitar! Thanks for watching!
I just got one. However, call me crazy but I can't change the volume on the guitar when using the bridge pickup (switch in the down position) This can't be normal right? I'm thinking there's an issue with the wiring and I need to return it.
@@adamsensenig5750 I would agree. That certainly isn’t normal.
The sandblasted se ce24 in green! I have two off em! ♨️🪨♨️
@@tymanngruter1808 I need to try out one of those sandblasted models. I would imagine it has that more natural thin skin nitrocellulose feel to it. Thanks for watching!
My SE HB II Piezo is the prettiest guitar i have. But my favorite, the SE DGT, is amazing all around. Fell in love on day one. I do have an old modified SE Singlecut with core 57/08 pickups that are killer(!!), but stock has to go to the SE DGT.
Can’t go wrong with the DGT. Have you tried any SE’s with soapbar/P-90 pickups? Amazingly underrated pickups made by PRS. Thanks for watching!
Nice Review. I agree on the PRS Satin Nitro Necks. It's the best. Try some D'Addario Lemon Oil Cleaner and Conditioner on NF3
@@JTB-- I would if I still had it! Lol, traded the NF3 and some cash for my PRS CE 24 semi-hollow in Matteo blue. Worth it on every level though I could definitely see myself owning another guitar with the narrow field pickups in it. Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 Nice. I have a CE 24 Semi Hollow with the black satin pattern thin neck and it's great! I also have a PRS S2 Vela Semi Hollow I recently bought and it might be the hidden gem in the entire PRS lineup. It has the Narrowfield pickup in the neck and hotter humbucker in the bridge for some heavier stuff. Great all rounder guitar, and the Pattern Regular neck plays great 👍
@@JTB-- I own a Vela as well but with the older d-style pickup in the neck. Such a great guitar and unbelievably light. Have you played any core models?
@@Sick_Strings01 Yeah I love the light weight of the Vela Semi Hollow and it is surprisingly loud unplugged if you want to just noodle on the couch with it. I have a Custom 24 Piezo that I got for a good deal on Reverb. Otherwise I'd be fine staying in the CE24 range. But I wanted a PRS Piezo to use with 2 Amps and to use with an effects processor/modelor where I use both inputs to create some really wild sounds and patches with Reverbs and Delays. It's fun. Like a lot of my guitars and gear the Piezo falls into that category of "I don't need it, But I still WANT IT!!
@@JTB-- I think all of us get that G.A.S. From time to time! I really need to try something with a piezo in it for sure!
How many guitars do you have in your permanent collection?
I wish there was such a thing as “permanent” for me. LOL, there are a few that I will never let go of. My Yamaha LJ6, Squier CV Jazzmaster, PRS S2 Vela, Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique, Fender American Vintage 2 Strat, PRS SIlver Sky SE w/custom finish, PRS SE 245 w/P-90s, 2 PRS CE 24’s one of them semi hollow, Taylor 224ce Koa, and my Taylor 214e SB. All the others can come and go. What about you?
I still play my prs se singlecut and it has remained my favorite despite all the new models
I totally get it. Once you find something so comfortable or it just has that certain sound its hard to get away from it. I found myself going back to the PRS SE 245 with P90s all the time. It just has that edge I love with distortion and the warmth as well. Thanks for watching!
Maybe it’s just the microphone quality, but I’m not hearing a whole lot of low end response. Lots of mid-high end sparkle. Which is not a bad thing, still anaazimg sounding guitar.
I have since improved my microphone set-up. I will be doing some more acoustic guitar review here soon so let me know what you think after those. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Taylor guitar always lack the low end response, they’re always thin and and bright
I would say they have voice that is much more treble forward but not lacking in low end. Over time I have realized that I prefer this particular sound in my acoustic guitar choice. I also play/pick back towards the bridge making it even more treble forward.
@@gilsondigue29 not my Taylor, it is loaded with awesome low end & the sound of her is really good all around
These are solid back and sides. Not laminated.
The top is solid spruce, the back and sides are rosewood laminate. You don’t get full solid wood until you move up to the 16 series unfortunately. That be it said, on resale sites you can find the solid versions for much cheaper almost all the time. Thanks for watching!
@Sick_Strings01 oh its an LL6, sorry, you are right it's the LL16 that has all solid woods. 👍
@@jobcentrepuss7545 no biggie, just glad you watched. Do you own any of the L series guitars?
@@Sick_Strings01 LL16. Rosewood b&s
I owned a LS16 for a little while as well as an LLX16 which had built electronics. It sounded great but I’ve found for me I prefer something smaller bodied. I’m not a big dude so dreads or bigger make me look like a child behind them! 😂
PRS S2 custom 24 had mine for a few years, it can party and play heavy metal on Saturday, and play clean and look nice on Sunday Morning.
@@BadApex solid choice for sure and very versatile. Thanks for watching!
I think a better way to frame the question is this. Say you have an overseas gig. And you know that if you bring a single guitar gig bag, you can get it on the plane. Whats the single guitar you're bringing on your gig? For me its a fender acoustisonic (telecaster cause thats the one i know) having played on everything from light fingerpicking acoustic peices to true "heavy metal thunder" classic rock its done the job. And though i prefer to run it through an amp and my small pedal board when doing primarily electric guitsr stuff it, can still go direct to the board and still have "get the job done" electric sounds if yhe set calls for it.
I’ll be honest, I never one time considered the acoustisonic as an option. I haven’t played one since they brought them back out. I love to hear something different though! Obviously you have experienced this first hand so I really appreciate your take on it! Thanks and hopefully we can all learn more from your experience in the future.
The Silver Sky sounded so distorted
When I shot this video I didn’t realize that the microphone from the camera itself was being used instead of the better quality rode mic. Lesson learned. Also the Silver Sky I own is a refin so the pickup height is a little higher than normal so the volume level is higher too. Thanks for watching!

@@doume116 take a look right here. The people at Sweetwater did exactly that! th-cam.com/video/PdU0ViBlw2M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qb9dqiph2FSxjwPa
I believe the silver sky having the tremolo deck raises the volume naturally. But yea I agree: these humbucker pickups can be raised a lot higher than the single coils with less issues
I’m curious, why do you think having the trem deck raises the volume? Certainly the humbuckers will have less noise/hum coming from them.
I know where you are. I’ve been there too
@@bfiume life is so strange and at times, so very difficult. Thank you for your support and I hope to see more comments down the line!
I had a S2 in 2020, I didn’t like it. The parts were cheap for an expensive guitar. And the finish was terrible so I sold it. This year I gave it an other shot with the SE. I love it. Go figure! Also I got a PRS Satin S2 Standard 24 for Christmas. That isn’t going anywhere either?
@@bfiume even with PRS it can be hit or miss!
Apart from unique models like the vela, the s2 line seems redundant. You are just paying for the differential in us vs indonesia/china labor costs. SEs are already extremely high quality and the core models can be bought used at s2 prices. I have 8 ses and 9 cores and never felt compelled to fill that middle gap other than the vela which doesnt exist in either. As a standalone, s2 line is great. It's just that the SE line is too close and usually at a much lower price point.
@@liamartinproductions there has been an update to the S2 line now as they have core electronics and thin skin nitro finishes instead of the poly finishes. PRS listens to its customers and that’s where they are different from all other manufacturers. Thanks for watching as always!
Nice work sir. Own a s2 594 singlecut in dark cherry burst. Still craving for a doublecut in the Se line. 😅
@@adamaday2484 double or single cut are both great guitars for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribe if you haven’t already!
Thanks. This guitar wasnt even on my radar
I love Maroon 5 so it was an easy pickup for me. The biggest decision i had was choosing which color and if I wanted a trem/bigsby version. You should try one out or, even better, try out the Music Man version. It is about as high end as guitars get for not too bad a price. Thanks for watching!
@Sick_Strings01 i have the ebmm jp16 and majesty 7. Great guitats. Wondering if you've tried the sterling versions?
@@liamartinproductions I have been meaning to try a Majesty for quite some time. Music Man and Sterling guitars are not readily available when I look for them. I might have to just order one to finally determine what I think. The JV60 is pretty amazing though so I would imagine other models are quite good too. Thanks again!
The singlecut standard in vintage cherry was my pick of the McCarty .594 models in the SE line. Supposedly the neck pickups are overwound to compinsate for what Paul considered a slightly dull tone, coming out of the singlecut models specifically. I'm gonna switch the pickups around in mine. So the overwound, thus hotter pickup. Is in the bridge position. Should help it balance better in the middle position.
@@andrewbecker3700 I would be afraid that moving it to the bridge might make it sound too trebly. Have you tried just raising the pickup a little bit? Just a suggestion. Glad you are enjoying the singlecut so much. Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 The guitar was never even plugged in as I received it. When I went under the control cavity cover to poke around and check cap values during initial inspection. One of the white coil tap wires going to a push/pull tone pot, crumbled off the terminal with only the slightest harassment. This just reassured what I already knew. Cheap switch and output jack, and the tuners weren't much better. Tore it all out, and upgraded everything except the pickups, obviously. So, yes. I've moved the pickup heights around some already. What I'm trying to explain to you, is that this specific model. Singlecut Standard, which has an all mahogany construction. Paul didn't like the way the standard 58/15 LTe pickup sounded in the neck position of this guitar. So he had them overwind some 58/15's to use specifically in the neck, in an attempt to get some more bite. I'm going back in that guitar to do some other changes with the wiring. So I'm gonna swap the pickups physical position in the guitar, first. To see how it acts? I don't really care about the switching being backwards. If it does what I'm hoping it will, I'll change the wiring, maybe? Ha,ha! Should make all switch positions better balanced, especially middle. The other mod I'm doing, is going back to modern wiring and adding treble bleeds to both volumes. I tried 50's wiring, but with these LT pickups, the taper is wrong because of the added resistance. These LT's need the shortest path possible to the output jack, to keep resistance down. Thanx for the reply, but it's all good buddy! Everything will get sorted on that guitar eventually. Right now it's fine the way it is. And is already way, way better than how I received it. It's just the reality of having very low output pickups. They do different things.
@@andrewbecker3700 I can’t agree more as far as adding the treble bleeds. That mod alone is totally worth it! Thanks for your support and good luck with all that modding!

The 2019 PRS SE Custom 24 Roasted Maple. Only 2,200 made for the US market as a limited edition run. I bought one in Trampas Green and it was built in South Korea.

I finally played a PRS SE DGT with the intention of trading mine in on it, however after spending some time with it, I kept mine. 🎸

I agree with you about the guitar in first position in the ranking. Thanks to the 594 microphones which are excellent (So the 5815 PU instead of 8515). I've been telling myself for a long time that I should buy it... May be my next GAS. I already have a silver sky and a Custom Semi Hollow (the SH 22 SY) and I love it. If you have the chance, try it. (The 8515s sound different on a semi-hollow body) It is very light in addition to being beautiful. She is my favorite of all Thank you for your video
@@steph8214 thanks for the feedback and for watching my content! Hope to see you around again!
How do beginners begin!? Should I enroll and pay for lessons? I have this model and have been wanting to learn Guitar for years. But don’t know where to start. It’s frustrating 😢
@@alonzoweaver7948 I was inspired to play by watching youth leaders lead worship and they showed me one or two things/a song. After that I was on my own for a few years. I didn’t progress much until I started playing with friends who were at the same level that I was. That helped me a lot and then it just stuck. The thing I would suggest is find a particular song you want to learn and focus on getting that one song down cold. Focus on the rhythm portion of playing a lot at first, getting the strum pattern down/timing of the song. It will make it sound more accurate and keep you working towards really learning the song. I do wish I knew more theory but for now I would say start there. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you subscribe!
@@Sick_Strings01 Thank you so much for the reply and advice. Really appreciate that! 🤝
@@alonzoweaver7948 we all started somewhere! It’s a great time to begin playing simply for TH-cam and so many guitar options at the click of a button. What guitar are you starting on?
@@Sick_Strings01 I have this current model, Yamaha LS6. I had a Classical Alvarez but I sold it. It was a Classical electric. Thinking of buying it again as well . I’m into fingerpicking music pieces much more than I am into strumming. But I DO like strumming as well, but fingerpicking to me is what inspired me to pick up a guitar . My inspiration was Gustavo Santaolalla. The music creator of most of the “The Last Of Us” guitar themes. Any suggestions on what I should be focusing on? Should I have a acoustic at all, or is nylon string guitars really where I should start 🤔
@@Sick_Strings01 I’m looking for the perfect balance between the two. Not to far left or right. It’s difficult when you have no idea where to start, for what you’re looking for. I want middle road. A little bet of the left and right ..
A beauty, but .... Today they should dare to change, modernize the sound holes. Why not .... There are thousands and thousands of ways. And it would be a point of difference in itself. 🤗 The same logo, the little bird, would be cool.
@@christianhertwig1593 it is an interesting thought for sure and other companies have been successful doing that. Epiphone comes to mind with some of their ES models. Are you suggesting they use a bird as sound hole? I wasn’t 100% sure you were but that would be super interesting though it could be costly. Hard to say without being there. Thanks for the comments!
@@Sick_Strings01 Hello again. Yes, I'm referring to the little bird they have as a moving logo on the neck of the guitar. Instead of dots or filler bars. Nowadays, I'm sure, the manufacture of extras on the main layer of guitars are done with CNC machines. In the end, the base of any guitar from almost any company is made in dozens or more of each model. And a visual change, an identifying change would be cool on a guitar like that. And it's so easy to do ..... and inexpensive 😜
@@christianhertwig1593 let’s keep the ideas flowing and maybe PRS will listen to a few! You never know. Thanks for watching!
Usher! Nice
I was waiting for someone to call it out! Lol, thanks for watching and I ope you come back for more!
I've heard nothing but good things about these. And, it can't be any heavier than a Gibson 1950s Les Paul Standard. Those guitars are back-breakers!
@@finishin.my.coffee8780 for me it’s a personal preference to have a lighter guitar. I’ve heard of other people, even in the comments here, say that they have DGTs that are lighter than this particular one. Outside of the weight and the volume knob placement it is an amazing guitar. Thanks for watching and remember to subscribe!
Do you find the upper frets on the 594 difficult to use due their closeness?
@@spokes28 I’ll be honest, I’ve never been a super high on the neck style player, even when soloing. It seems about normal though as far as spacing in the upper frets. Thanks for inquiring and stay tuned for more.
With the advancements in design, manufacturing processes, logistics, and parts sharing, "cheap" guitars are really high quality nowadays.
@@liamartinproductions the processes they use to create these guitars has evolved drastically and they are producing unreal results. Some might say we are living in the golden age of guitar due to this and so many options available with click of a button.
SE CE 24 standard satin
@@rmcaudio7041 I really love a satin finish guitar! Hopefully soon I will have a PRS CE 24 semi-hollowbody in my hands. Stay tuned for that review! Thanks for watching.
