I review an affordable PRS Guitar - the PRS SE CE 24
Very nice. When PRS comes calling, it means you are moving up on the YT guitar channel food chain. Well deserved.
Thank you!!
Right!!! Jared's great I'm surprised he isn't more popular already
@@TONEWARSgearshowYou've earned it, bro. Well done!
As a PRS player and fan, you definitely got their seal of approval! Well Done sir! And wow, what a killer instrumental too!
Thank you!!
As a Maryland resident and friendly with the folks at PRS I can say they are S-tier in everything they do.
Did get one of these, in charcoal. Outstanding at this price. Set up VERY well out of the box also
Man I'll be completely honest with you. I have never heard your solos sound like they were played more confidently.
It sounded like you were a lot more comfortable on that guitar than I've heard you before with some others.
That guitar is a keeper.
That's the $499 guitar can't wait to hear your thoughts on it
I have Tremonti custom SE and standard 22 SE, both with tremolo bridges. Dropped seymour duncans in, grover mini rotomatics, bone nuts, brass blocks and stainless steel saddles in. They come solid built from factory indeed, quality mod platforms. Pickups were ok but lacking character imho.
Sounds way better than I expected!
They are fantastic guitars. I only have an se model with a fr and it came perfectly setup and still love playing it 12 years later
I think PRS did a very smart thing, sending you this guitar. I know that when I'm looking at guitars or any gear for that matter, I get the most out of the video if the presenter can play or operate the item with pro level skill. Then you get to see what the gear can do, if it's done right. I get so many ideas, when I watch you play. Rock on brother. :)
Love the sound through the Soldano Astro!!!!
I have a PRS Custom 24. This would be a great guitar for leaving around to practice with. Its also a great guitar to upgrade a little at a time to make it compatible with the other PRS guitars.
Qual a vantagens de possuir 24 e não 22 trastes ???
Love the look of this guitar, PRS has always been great. Hope to see you do more guitar reviews.
Well done…I’ve never seen one of these played the way I would…with heavier tones…thank you 👍
Nice playing, man! Those were some tasty licks. 🤟
That's an impressive tonehenge you have there too!
Thank you!
Nice playing as always, Jarrod, I love that solo! You played that PRS like you’ve owned it for a long time and made it sound like something way more than $499 or whatever it goes for.
I have a couple of PRS guitars in my collection, a Custom 24 and a Dustie Waring CE24, both which have Floyd Roses and locking nuts on them as well as locking tuners for easy stringing. I haven’t played them in a while but they’re nice guitars.
Thank you so much Jason, it's always good hearing from you
Hopefully I can try a Holcomb guitar sometime in the near future
Didnt expect such excellent playin' when pressing to watch this video..! Dang! Subbed and appreciate the review, might cop this guitar as my first PRS to finally give them a try, I will use this as my jazz fusion / rock guitar
Thank you!!
I love the grain on that guitar!!!
I have this guitar and I would 100% recommend replacing the nut with a PRS Core nut, before replacing the tuners. I also had tuning stability issues when using the trem, or even doing full bends. What is happening is that the strings bind at the nut, so they cannot return to the tuned position. The tuning issues were much worse when I put 11 - 48's on the guitar, because the thicker gauge strings bound even more. You *can* file down the factory nut, but on close examination (especially directly compared to the PRS Core nut) that it's not very well cut, or sanded down, and are made of a lower quality material. So I would recommend just replacing the whole thing. No issues since doing that, and now I am using 11 - 54's on it (drop tuning).
On mine I replaced the stock nut with a prs se core for $7 since it came too high and they didn't file any break angle in nut(high e and b strings sounded like a sitar when played open. I was just gonna file down the stock nut since it is graphite but it's much softer and I went too deep on most of the slots. New nut is much harder, felt like bone when I was filing.
Then I swapped the trem block to a cheap brass block, put gotoh steel saddles on, and good pickups. Got the locking tuners coming. I also sprung for overpriced creme pickup rings/switch tip. Now it has very low action and effortless pinch harmonics.
Great guitar what a fabulous sound and playing love it .
Just got mine in the charcoal finish. Guitar is awesome. Plays like butter. The neck is very comfortable.
Is it wide?
I just got mine in that colour as well. It’s really a nice guitar. No fret sprout. Nice out of the box action. Very playable out of the box. Glad I got it. The neck is definitely a winner. Satin neck makes it a lot better for moving around when playing faster runs.. light weight makes it easier on your back and shoulders when giging Cheers Dallas .
Something else, about the pickups -- they are HOT and I also find them bright. I do the exact same thing, roll back the treble on the amp and push the bass and mids a bit.
Note: The guitar comes with the 85/15 “S” pickups, which are the the same pickups on the doubly more expensive PRS SE Custom 24.
Subscribed for the intro jam!
Thank you!!
I've got an prs se custom 24. It's my main standard guitar and it a beast. Put lockong tuner on this and change the bridge pickup and it is killer
I have a swamp ash se ce24 sandblasted in green now, sounds just like yours! Thanx for posting bro! 😊
I've been seriously thinking about investing in one of these. Your video closed the deal for me. Thank you!
Bro! Your playing is the best it’s ever been!
Thank.you!!
Finally I’ve been waiting for this
"4 days Later"
I just received this exact same model PRS a few days ago and only the G string needed tuning straight out of the box. I was a tiny bit surprised. Vintage cherry looks awesome. My son wants the one in turquoise.
Got mine yesterday..same color..love the feel...great weight too, 7.2lbs.... I love it !
Right on Jarrod I been wondering about the SE line up I never played a prs before people say the necks are baseball like? I have ESP and Ibanez guitars that all I own out in the hollow not much opportunities to play without a 160 mile drive this is why on lineshopping has been only option for me ,appreciate the video. 🎶🎵🎸😈
Love that satin red stain finish. I havnt seen that one, i love my prs se ive had for about 12 years and still plays and sounds great. Mine was $1200 way back then though,not sure the difference between my model and this one and i cant remember the exact model i have. Mine has a floyd too which i wanted over prs floating bridge.
Just got this. It's amazing. Make sure to go into the store, I saw a couple duds (relatively speaking)
I get White Lion vibes from your song. Very nice playing man!!!
I have three PRS guitars no they were not cheap ! will be getting another one soon i'm hooked on them a true addiction ...
With a compound radius you get the best of both worlds. Like a 12 to 18" or similar. The schecter km7 or km6 MKIII's have a perfect neck setup. Have you tried those out? I bought the KM7 MKIII about 5 yrs ago and loved it so much i got the KM6. I think those guitars were the best bang for your buck production guitars to come out in many years. I think theyre actually worth more than the 1800/1900$ they cost. They out perform other guitars much more expensive. The only problem with schecter is qc issues. Fit and finish can be hit or miss, so i was very picky when choosing my two, and ended up with two perfect guitars in every way. Would love to see you review one
Thanks for commenting, I'll have to look into those and see if I can get 1 to review
@@TONEWARSgearshow that would be fantastic bro, I know you'll enjoy it. If I lived near you I'd let you borrow one of mine for the review
By far the best demo of the balls out rockin’ tone on this new instrument….I want one ! Also own the Maryland made CE24
Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video
Super cool to see you playing on something else - would love to see more guitars go through that massive amp wall
Recently picked up a 400$ 2007 PRS SE Tremonti (hard tail) on a whim after sitting down with it in the store I was at. I could instantly tell someone really took care of that guitar. It had custome Seymour duncans (upgraded from factory) Grover locking tuners and a Bone Nut. I did end up returning it as was not a fan of a few other little things but these are great guitars and PRS puts attention into alot of their line which showed to me.
Great vid, as always. I know you love PRS amps, who wouldn't? To my knowledge, this is your first time at bat playing PRS guitars, at least first time having them on your channel. PRS is really the only company that puts out worth while and consistent guitars at any price point. Most companies that put out budget friendly guitars, don't have the quality that PRS has at any price point. It'd be very interesting to see you play a PRS SVN or Marc Holcomb 7 string model, as I know 7strings guitars are more your focus.
Hey Aaron, thanks so much for commenting and for the kind words.
I will definitely be looking into more of the PRS guitars very soon, there's a couple of them that I find pretty intriguing
As a majesty owner myself. And a recent owner of the SE CE. I would record with the prs any day. Of course. It has a dif pickup config than a lot of modern metal guitars. But that’s an easy fix per your choice. Bottom line. These new lines have straight necks. Great fret ends. No uneven frets (on mine ). And no poly lacquer to choke the wood. Other manufactures hiking their prices should be ashamed.
I’m buying one of those. For $499 that’s a steal.
Wow. That’s all. Subbed! ❤ need more content like this.
Thank you!! More to come
Cool starter PRS. Love it !
Awesome playing 🎸 🔥 bro!! PRS SE is the best bang for buck guitar out there a few slight mods are youre golden .
“I’m turning my hand into hamburger”. You mean “handburger”. Great video.
Hey Jared. If you still are in contact with PRS, tell them that I think in order for the SE series to look more like their CORE models, the pickup rings should be white with gold screws, regardless of what finish the body has. It’s that extra touch and simple change and will make the guitar appear $1000 more IMO. Regardless of brand black pickup rings with black pickups and all grey screws looks so sub $200 quality IMO. I’m strictly talking about aesthetics and not playability of course. If a guitar feels great regardless of price then play it. Just wanted to share my thoughts on appearance for SE guitars. Seriously look at a Core guitar and then the SE. White pickup rings and gold screws makes a huge impact IMO. Best 🤘
I very much want that guitar, love a good satin finish
I was surprised at how nice it looked, especially considering the price
We call my son's PRS the Chameleon...can play any genre well
PRS sells direct replacement locking tuners.
Sounds great. Should've played it through that Tremonti amp.
Id be curious to see you try out a PRS HDRX 20 dimed with a boost. Wanna see the classic rock/metal tones you can get out of it
Jarrod the guitar looks good and i thought the pickups sounded very good on your high gain amp settings!
Could you ask them why they don’t put the HFS pick up in them now? That’s my favorite pickup and now you can only find them used
Buy a JB or a Dimarzio Super Distortion. Exact same pickups. Same magnets, Same wire gauge, Same wind, same build. During the "HFS" or Hot Fat and Screams era of PRS, Dimarzio and Seymour Duncan were winding pickups for PRS. The HFS is just a Super Distortion with a different plastic bobbin. The reason PRS does not offer them anymore is because there are literally thousands of alternate options out there. I have 9 sets of HFS pickups. O sets are in guitars. TIm from TNTOnes makes much better pickups with better dynamics.
@@benburnett8109 hey man is that true? I ask because i have those pickups in other guitars and they don’t sound the same to me. But, that could be the guitars somewhat? But yes the ce24 with hfs and wide thin neck are my favs and now you can only find them used . So I’m definitely interested in finding a way to recreate that without having to buy used ce24s
40th Anniversary coming. Maybe a comeback pickup?
I bought a SE Custom 24 a year ago. Great guitar! I did some upgrades to suit tone taste and playing feel. I’m waiting for a Fralin Super high output “split rail” to swap out with blues version. This should meet with a better pairing of the p-rail at neck and bridge. Locking tuners is a good solution for tuning stability. I’m considering a piezo trem bridge. Thoughts on the bridge replacement up grade?
Ok, I’m definitely not a metal fan, but that was beautiful!!!
You could easily use that guitar anywhere fabulous bare wood guitar no frills and a modding dream
Agreed! Great mod platform
Nice mr jarod i have a ce 24 and a se 24 and love prs but i wish they would dial the radius down some , there is such s feel diff from say my jim root charvel with 12- 16 compound on speed and comfort on the neck but great guitars still
Sounds great 👍
First comment ! 😂 love the playing my friend! Sounds amazing !
not a fan of PRS. They were the Guitar Center rich kids guitar when I grew up and it has always stuck. I'ts just me. I shredded Charvels and they had PRS's and couldn't play.
Thank goodness you shared that story with us. I bet you stuck it to them rich kids really well. I bet you salted their nuts all the time!! Charvel for the win!!
Superb playing my friend...👌
Thank you!!
I would NEVER bring an American made PRS into a bar gig. That being said, I love the SEs and have two I feel comfortable gigging with. It seems this one is at a price point of most entry level guitars and would be ideal as a daily gigging guitar.
Try a PRS Mark Holcomb SE it has a 20 inch radius and his signature pickups
I'm hoping to try one soon
I got a 40 watt Blackstar amp would that be too much for that guitar.
I don't think you mentioned in the vid, but does the fret board have rolled edges or are they really sharp. I recently tried out an SE Swamp ash model and the edges were so sharp that it could almost cut you. I mean the wood and not the fret ends. I like PRS, I have 3 different USA made S2 models.
I always dug PRS before owning a few, but I assumed they were merely light rock and jazz guitars...that was until I heard Marc Rizzo from Soulfly and Il Nino ripping death metal and thrash on SE models. I since sold my PRSs since I kind of outgrew them. My only negative opinion on the brand is that PRS guitars have a sort of vanilla sound. Nothing really unique where you hear one and say..."that's a PRS!"
I don’t know what to do. It’s a 401 ESPLTD or this😅
What amp and effects did you use
what size and brand of strings?
Question: can you compare dimarzio in your other guitar to the PRS?
Probably not a fair question because of the price point.
Locking tuners have absolutely nothing to do with tuning stability. They are simply to make string changes easier by speeding up the process because there’s no need to wrap.
I have to disagree with you on that. With locking tuners, you don’t have extra windings of string on the string post. Which improves tuning stability.
@@Brent-Nelson68 👌🏻
First off the background music is way too loud !
That alternate view is out of focus. I've noticed this in other video's.
Contact Jarrod and he can get you a FULL refund for what you've paid to watch the video.
Attention PRS: Please make a USA 6 string baritone. Then send the USA 6 string baritone to Tone Wars.
Are nickel frets giving us old timers the cancer? Planet Waves locking tuners are a cut above hipshots.
great playing ,,,shame it looks like it was filmed on a potato.
Actually I used $6000 worth of cameras in this video
@@TONEWARSgearshow it's terrible in focus, sound is amazing,but the video footage is terrible...you are an amazing guitarist.
@@kramersurfer5280 thank you for the compliment on my playing. The main camera ($3000.00) is in focus. The secondary camera (also 3000.00) was dialed in, but when I moved, the focus was a bit off. I do everything myself so, sometimes things happen
@@TONEWARSgearshow dude like i said your playing is off the chart ,,but the footage looked terrible..dont stop buddy lovin the shredding
I dislike the PRS headstock, their bodies are boring..... I wish they can make something like a Charvel but with their quality as their guitars are really well made
Aren't most Charvel bodies just Strat bodies? I'm not sure how PRS bodies are more boring than that.
Play one, it will change your mind
@@lowtunedg9211 i played a free and like their neck, just not the way they look
@@bluematrix5001 they are designed with playability and stability in mind, not looks, I’ve always liked the way they look, much better than a LP or strat
I hate prs 😂
