Thanks for making a video for the exact comparison I wanted lol! I have a PRS CE24 as well, in Whale Blue, and was wondering how close it was to a Telecaster specifically.
The important thing to know is that when a humbucker is split to the single coil, it is lower output than a standard single coil. The reason is that if a pickup is going to be made to do double duty as both a single coil and a humbucker, a compromise must be made with the output. If you make a humbucker that has just as much output as a standard single coil when split, then it is going to have way more output than a standard humbucker when not split. Conversely, if you make it have regular humbucker output when not split, it is going to be a weak single coil when you split it. If you compromise right down the middle, you will have a humbucker that is not quite a regular humbucker output and not quite a regular single coil output. It’s always going to be a compromise.
the coil split PRS sounds amazing! The PRS sounds is a tiny bit warmer and fuller than the tele but I personally love that. I'm learning the guitar rn, and I found this really informative :)
To be fair, I believe PRS voices the coil split in their humbuckers more towards a Strat single coil, rather than a Telecaster single coil. So that could account for some of the difference. No coil split sounds exactly like a true single coil in my opinion, but I have to admit, PRS has gotten closer than any other coil split I have ever heard with their newest TCI pickups. The coil split on my PRS Modern Eagle V is nearly indistinguishable to my Strat pickups, whereas the coil split on my Les Paul sounds very different.
🙋🏻♀️Hi Lonny !!! Let me tell you whatever it is to me, it sounds fantastic! very harmonious! Love it! I had left you a question on Twitter, but I'll ask you here in case you haven't seen it. Could you do the new thing "Crinsom Skies" with your bass? You'd be great if you did and I think we're all waiting for you! at least I was waiting for you to do it hahaha😅🎸🦅
Hey Pam! Glad you dig the tones! Thanks so much for your comment. I wasn’t able to get a video done for Crimson Skies unfortunately, although I’m glad that Jake was able to get one out! I’ll do my best to have one ready for our next single 🙂👊🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic If I already saw Jake's ... but I really expected yours, yes ... I even missed him 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 wait for me, I'm crying ... okay, now yeah 😞😪🤧🤧 well, I really hope you can do it because you know ... we all want yours Lonny we all want your version of the new song! , but well whatever We will all be waiting for your next video !!!! 🎸🦅🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh man, busting out "Californication" at 0:26 haha! Sounded so good. I like both sounds. I think it would just depend on if you wanted a brighter tone or more mellow. The tele was brighter, but the PRS was warmer, almost acoustic like. Both are definitely usable tones, and the convenience of having both on one guitar is something to look at too. Especially if you're covering a variety of styles. I don't think you could go wrong with either!
Totally! Keep in mind too that the Tele has a maple fretboard, whereas the PRS has a rosewood fretboard. So inherently it will have a darker sound because of that. A fair comparison would be both of them having the same type of wood.
I love the sound on both guitars and as always you played amazingly! Cannot wait for more content to keep me entertained when I have days off. Love ya Lonny! Also as a side note, love the new music video for Crimson skies
For the prs the humbucker sounds more bluesy and for the coil split gives me that tropical Jimmy Buffett kind of vibe. I absolutely love prs guitars and I think it is a very fluctuating guitar and can do well playing anything youd want to play. It has a more rich tone and melodic tone as well. I'm not that big of a telecaster fan due to my style of playing but prs sounds absolutely amazing! I enjoyed this so much!
Thought you might be interested in an interesting tip to consider. A goldilocks option that I have finally found is the PRS Tremonti Baritone Hybrid setup and tuned to standard with a pickup swap and rewiring for coil tapping. 25.5" scale, maple neck, and wraparound stoptail bridge gives it as much snap as a tele but the mahogany body, set neck, and single cut keeps the body of a typical PRS or LP. I have found this to be the best of all worlds option, for me at least, and negates the want to grab different guitars at times. Medium output pickups are ideal for the partial could tapping (e.g. BKP True Grit, Holy Diver, Polymath). This was a great and helpful video and so was your 4 guitar comparison video.
I don't understand enough about this but I know it sounds great. i think it's a lot of fun just trying things out and see what is possible with the guitar. This is what I always learn from your videos... playing guitar is a lot of fun, so keep it going ❤🤘
I use my 2018 American Original 60s Telecaster and 2019 CE24 Semi-hollowbody interchangeably. I find that the 85/15 TM pickups don't have a very big signal loss when split. Also, I feel like that pickups are pretty clean sounding.
Great video Lonny as always! My dad would prob understand more of this though. I know he’s got a similar PRS! Also being cheeky 🤣. Today (8th June) is my 25th birthday. Great thing to wake up and watch first thing. While waiting for family 2 get up. Have a great day (when your awake) x
wood and body shape don't make any difference, it's probably really due to scale length. Shorter scale length means the strings need less tension to be tuned to the same pitch, and that's audible
I think they're about the same. It's good for if you don't have a telecaster or I'd you're about to perform a gig and you brought wrong guitar. I think it was be a pretty good substitute
Definitely! The fact that you can convincingly play both Bruno Mars and Guns N’ Roses on the same guitar makes it a dream for cover gigs, among other things.
I have some classes but these informations about guitar from Lonny is more important than a filthy homework🎸🎸🎸 And i love how good you played both guitar you're so cool :D
I agree that the black guitar is very versatile. That button that makes it a one coil is very neat. I was like oooh fancy! You just brightened my day, Lonny! Thanks!🤘🖤
@@Ardano62Those are some pretty bold statements! Lol. I wouldn’t pick ALL Teles, at the end of the day it’s all subjective. I own a fender player tele and I preferred that over a pro 2 that I owned. However, in this particular video, I can hear a major differences between the two, the Tele just sounds much brighter than the PRS. I’ve also owned 2 different guitars with coil splits and I just don’t like the sound, for me they sound a little digital. If I want a twangy bright sound, I’ll go Tele all day, humbuckers I’ll go with some Seymour Duncans, if I want some single coils I’ll go with my fender strat. It just depends and that’s why I said I was a bit of a purist when it came down to it. Again, there is no right or wrongs, music comes from the player.
Great video and great playing. Both sound very good. I think the Tele has slightly more twang, but the PRS comes close. Even though there is a slight difference, in a live band setting you probably wouldn't notice the difference. Love the versatility of the PRS. Finally, Fender's Player Plus Tele and their Ultra Tele now have a coil tap that combines both PU's into series giving it a more Humbucker sound. So increasing their versatility. Tough decision. You can't go wrong with either.
I know all of nothing about guitars so I find these vids really interesting. Thanks for posting!!! Think I prefer the split personally. I like that it's more versatile and I like the sound a bit more. 🤟💕
Thanks so much for watching, and a very warm welcome to my channel members program! So happy to have you on board. Glad you’ve been enjoying the content. 🤘🏻🙂🎸
Both guitars are beautiful but I love the PRS more. Loved the video, super rad! All the songs I was singing along too, now I will have them running through my head all day lol. Also, Lonksi, your hair is getting so long! You gotta do the channels in the side again, they were badass! Love the new pfp too!
Thanks for doing this I’m thinking of getting a tele soon. Had a prs ce24 but sold it a while back definitely regret it but who knows maybe I’ll get another one down the line. As for the sound I’m really impressed with how close the prs sounds to a tele . I never had a tele to compare . Great video bro.
The PRS sounds beautiful. It’s got a very warm single coil sound. Nothing but a Tele sounds like a Tele but PRS does have something amazing here. I’m looking to split coils on one of my guitars.
Excellent video! Great points, and great playing. While there is a slight difference, to most casual listeners in the crowd, it's all the same. Thus, the convience of knowing the feel of playing a single instrument that does a greater variety of tones wins for me.
In a live gig the prs will do anything a tele can do, the tiny extra sparkle of the tele won’t be noticeable in all the noise and other instruments there. Also the prs is like 3 pounds lighter, can sound like a les Paul also, and is way more comfy due to the shape. No doubt why I always take my prs custom 24 to gigs
Hi Lonny! Been following and chatting with Josiah! Great guy. He pointed me to your channel after a few comments on a post he had of you guys playing! It was awesome! Your video is great. ✌🏻😎. Doug
Keep practicing Amanda! Guitar is a very rewarding hobby. The key is to enjoy every step along the way. Remember that we are never as good as we want to be, no matter which level we are currently at haha. Best of luck! 🙏🏻
Close but not quite 😅That said I bought the SE Custom 24-08 a coupla years ago and the range of sounds is impressive - Bridge Humbucker + Neck Split is pretty nice and chimey.
I live the PRS.. my good friend Casandra Carson in our local but growing band Paralandra and also fronting Josh Rand of Stone Sours new LIFE Project uses a bad ass PRS she got from the man himself Paul Reed Smith at palen Music in Springfield Mo.. they are on you tube you should check them out.
You'll be happy to know I got myself a great girlfriend but she has a little PTSD from past guys so I'm waiting so she can suggest marriage as we've both agreed a paper isn't what makes our love genuine our connection makes our love genuine ☺️❤️
Great video, though I would say the better way to get a pickup comparison like this would be to get a tele loaded with humbuckers and coil tapping. The scale length does make an overall difference in tonal properties as well.
Do you think it would pull off that nasally SRV/Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child type neck pickup sound? That’s generally what I go for. I love the PRS and I want to try one but if I need a Strat then I just need a Strat.
I think it could get 90% of that tone. Throw a good overdrive or fuzz pedal in front of it and you’ll certainly be in the ball park. You have to remember that they ARE split pickups, so it’s not going to be 100% of a true single coil, but it’s damn close. In a mix I don’t think you’d hear the difference. So to answer your question, it depends if you’re okay with some wiggle room on the tone. If you’re flexible with that 90% closeness then this could likely work for you.
I think they both sound amazing but I do like the CE24 a bit more for some reason. Also I’m loving Crimson Skies. I can’t wait for the next single or the album! (Also I may be getting the VIP meet and greet for a concert near to my town for my birthday idk though my parents are super sneaky. And we also need a babysitter for my brothers lol)
Plus the Stairway To Heaven solo was recorded on a Telecaster, so you can’t argue with that haha. That being said, I do think PRS does an amazing job with their coil split wiring. Each is useful in its own way! 👌🏻
Like the PRS generally- but the Knopfler licks are better on the Telecaster. On the PRS everybody in earshot would recognize the progression - but it lacks the bite and grittiness needed. Just MHO- I’m usually more disposed to PRS sounds but not on this.
had a bass that had a passive mode and a split coil. there was a song i used to play that i either did one or the other or both for the intro then switched to everything on for the rest of the song. worked very well. now i use two or three basses that are soapbars or humbuckers with a darkglass pedal to add to tone. works great. three of my four basses have three band eq's with soapbars on two then a pj configuration on another but the other has the humbucker with a tone knob. i use jackson and dean right now. the dean really kills it on kiss, bvb, the big 4's am i evil, and more. also sorry if this comment was confusing at points. im hella tired at the time of writing this lol. you rock Lonny. hope to see you in september with bvb. if not, maybe on a future tour. 🤘
I bought a PRS as my first guitar exactly because it is so versatile and sounds great! Of course the single coils on stratocaster and telecaster cannot be 100% copied with split humbuckers, but I ain't complaining on the slightly thicker sound though! I definitely want an SSS strat later sometime, but for now I'm over the moon with my current guitar ^^ BTW I love these videos, please keep them coming :)
Totally! They’re super versatile with so many tricks up their sleeve. I’ve got a Fender Strat that I use quite often, but my next guitar will most definitely be a PRS Silver Sky. Got my eye on the Midnight Rose finish. 👌🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Oh! It would be so awesome if you could make a video comparing the Silver Sky with a classic strat one day 🙏🏼 I’m not yet familiar with this kind of PRS, but I’m really excited for you! 🙌🏼
The PRS is most versatile no doubt. Both sounded great and if you had an EQ pedal in front you could get them nearly exact and the crowd wouldn't know the damn difference ! Rock on dude.
Great video and to the point! Unless it was the tone knob on the guitars making a difference in the sound, the PRS was slightly a bit less chimey and more warmer. Listening with Head Phones here, I’d give the PRS a 9.8 The versatility with the PRS is a big plus. You can’t lose with PRS!
The PRS was still a bit more mid-rangey. But it's surprising how similar the two sounded considering they are completely different instruments. The PRS didn't sound like a humbucker, just a slightly warmer single coil.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic thank you and btw great video, straight forward, clean guitar sound is the best way to compare, and short licks back to back helps to compare, otherwise you forget the first tone meanwhile you are hearing the second example. would be great if you can check P rails coil split , thanks for the quick answer .
If only there was a CE22 08 w/ piezo. I have a HBII w/ a maple neck and blending in a little of the piezo has been giving me enough tele vibes to get by for years (piezo volume on ~3 brings in some of the snap and zing of a tele), but I finally broke down and have a tele on the way because I really need that spank. That said I really do believe a CE22 08 piezo would be the best jack of all trades option if it actually existed, that is unless they also threw in the LP style 4 pots like on the 594 as that would make it a perfect desert island guitar.
to my ear i can hear the difference. The true fender single coil is bit chimmer to the split coil. Split coil sounded more like the squire series single coil pickup which sounds a bit fat and rounded than the fender single coil. Split coil makes this guitar versatile and single coil sound is also very good in my opinion.
Uhm...Tele wins! My LP GoldTop has coil tap but I never use it coz I have a Telecaster too. :) Just curious....which one did you use on my new unreleased tune? CHEERS!!!
Il y a définitivement plus de possibilités de sonorités avec la PRS qu'avec la Telecaster. Cependant, je crois que la Telecaster a un meilleur "single coil" que la PRS.
Thanks for making a video for the exact comparison I wanted lol! I have a PRS CE24 as well, in Whale Blue, and was wondering how close it was to a Telecaster specifically.
Glad you found it useful! 🤘🏻

besides PRS are there any other brands that does the coil split well?

Thanks Danny! Yeah they’re my go-to for electric, acoustic, and bass. Big fan!
They both sound amazing, but the Tele had that natural twang that I can't get enough of, and an overall fuller sound 🤗
I'd love to see you do a play through with the Fender Telecaster
This is so fascinating. Your shootout videos are always fantastic! Keep it up!

The PRS sounds great for a single coil split, but the Tele is the master. I guess I'm more of a purist, although I like what I hear.
You mean you prefer style and esthetics over sound? If you did a blind test, would you pick out all the telecasters?

Nice comparison. The PRS despite having 24 frets sounds pretty close to the Tele.
In my opinion the PRS sounds thinner than the Telecaster. Different, but not worst, just different. And both sounds great.
True! They sound different but the PRS split DOES still sound like a good single-coil pickup. In my opinion!
Do you think it would pull off that nasally SRV/Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child type neck pickup sound? That’s generally what I go for. I love the PRS and I want to try one but if I need a Strat then I just need a Strat.
I think it could get 90% of that tone. Throw a good overdrive or fuzz pedal in front of it and you’ll certainly be in the ball park.
You have to remember that they ARE split pickups, so it’s not going to be 100% of a true single coil, but it’s damn close.
In a mix I don’t think you’d hear the difference. So to answer your question, it depends if you’re okay with some wiggle room on the tone. If you’re flexible with that 90% closeness then this could likely work for you.
I think they both sound amazing but I do like the CE24 a bit more for some reason. Also I’m loving Crimson Skies. I can’t wait for the next single or the album! (Also I may be getting the VIP meet and greet for a concert near to my town for my birthday idk though my parents are super sneaky. And we also need a babysitter for my brothers lol)
Awesome! Yeah they’re both good, just different. Difficult to pick a favorite!
Telecaster is just unique on its own. It defines a class.
Plus the Stairway To Heaven solo was recorded on a Telecaster, so you can’t argue with that haha. That being said, I do think PRS does an amazing job with their coil split wiring. Each is useful in its own way! 👌🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Agreed! 😊
Like the PRS generally- but the Knopfler licks are better on the Telecaster.
On the PRS everybody in earshot would recognize the progression - but it lacks the bite and grittiness needed.
Just MHO- I’m usually more disposed to PRS sounds but not on this.
I love your videos. ❤️
Hi from Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬!
had a bass that had a passive mode and a split coil. there was a song i used to play that i either did one or the other or both for the intro then switched to everything on for the rest of the song. worked very well. now i use two or three basses that are soapbars or humbuckers with a darkglass pedal to add to tone. works great. three of my four basses have three band eq's with soapbars on two then a pj configuration on another but the other has the humbucker with a tone knob. i use jackson and dean right now. the dean really kills it on kiss, bvb, the big 4's am i evil, and more. also sorry if this comment was confusing at points. im hella tired at the time of writing this lol. you rock Lonny. hope to see you in september with bvb. if not, maybe on a future tour. 🤘
That’s awesome dude! Glad to see you dialing in those tones. Sounds like a really cool rig. Hope to see you on tour!
@@LonnyEagletonMusic for what it is, it's pretty sweet. Ampeg amp with that pedal and the eq set right it just tears. Glad to talk to you again!
Impressive playing. Of course there's nothing more skookum than the Fender Tele but if despirate this can pass.
How come the CE doesn't have the CE logo did you cover it
I flipped around the truss cover for a cleaner look. The CE24 logo is now facing the inside.
I bought a PRS as my first guitar exactly because it is so versatile and sounds great! Of course the single coils on stratocaster and telecaster cannot be 100% copied with split humbuckers, but I ain't complaining on the slightly thicker sound though! I definitely want an SSS strat later sometime, but for now I'm over the moon with my current guitar ^^ BTW I love these videos, please keep them coming :)
Totally! They’re super versatile with so many tricks up their sleeve. I’ve got a Fender Strat that I use quite often, but my next guitar will most definitely be a PRS Silver Sky. Got my eye on the Midnight Rose finish. 👌🏻
@@LonnyEagletonMusic Oh! It would be so awesome if you could make a video comparing the Silver Sky with a classic strat one day 🙏🏼 I’m not yet familiar with this kind of PRS, but I’m really excited for you! 🙌🏼
The PRS is most versatile no doubt. Both sounded great and if you had an EQ pedal in front you could get them nearly exact and the crowd wouldn't know the damn difference ! Rock on dude.
Totally! So close in the room, and in the context of a mix you’d never hear a difference in my opinion.
Great video and to the point! Unless it was the tone knob on the guitars making a difference in the sound, the PRS was slightly a bit less chimey and more warmer. Listening with Head Phones here, I’d give the PRS a 9.8 The versatility with the PRS is a big plus. You can’t lose with PRS!
Totally! All tone knobs were on 10 throughout the entire video. Thanks for watching!
Sounds pretty good to me
The PRS was still a bit more mid-rangey. But it's surprising how similar the two sounded considering they are completely different instruments. The PRS didn't sound like a humbucker, just a slightly warmer single coil.
Prs is amazing guitar, that split is very useful and sound is amazing, but tele still have that "something" 🙂
THIS
What are the pickups you are using on that guitar?
Everything is stock. The PRS pickups are the 85/15 models.
@@LonnyEagletonMusic thank you and btw great video, straight forward, clean guitar sound is the best way to compare, and short licks back to back helps to compare, otherwise you forget the first tone meanwhile you are hearing the second example.
would be great if you can check P rails coil split , thanks for the quick answer .
If only there was a CE22 08 w/ piezo. I have a HBII w/ a maple neck and blending in a little of the piezo has been giving me enough tele vibes to get by for years (piezo volume on ~3 brings in some of the snap and zing of a tele), but I finally broke down and have a tele on the way because I really need that spank. That said I really do believe a CE22 08 piezo would be the best jack of all trades option if it actually existed, that is unless they also threw in the LP style 4 pots like on the 594 as that would make it a perfect desert island guitar.
Bro can you make a video about mixing vocals with instrument ? ;-; idk it will be really helpful for me
the coils are technically still connected in the prs, but with a resistor across the two coils.
I could barely tell the difference The PRS was a bit lower in tone but Still sounded really Great!!!!
Yeah it comes quite close to the Tele, doesn’t it? Very impressive in my opinion!
Great demo! The split coils sound on the PRS sounds definitely usable, it's very good,
but the Tele has the better sound. It sounds more Fender..
I love you LONNY!!!
Sounds great. In a mix you would NEVER hear a difference.
Te amo sos el mejor lonny💜💜💜💜
to my ear i can hear the difference. The true fender single coil is bit chimmer to the split coil. Split coil sounded more like the squire series single coil pickup which sounds a bit fat and rounded than the fender single coil. Split coil makes this guitar versatile and single coil sound is also very good in my opinion.
whats the model of your tele?
It’s a 2009 American Standard
Dream of Californiacasion nice!!
Yup! A classic “single coil” riff. The video wouldn’t be complete without it. 😊
No Doubt
They don't sound the same, but both usable. They can probably be made to sound closer with some amp setting adjustments.
Uhm...Tele wins! My LP GoldTop has coil tap but I never use it coz I have a Telecaster too. :) Just curious....which one did you use on my new unreleased tune? CHEERS!!!
For that session I played everything on the PRS, although I was on full humbucker mode. Didn’t use the coil-split. 🤘🏻😎🎸
Split coil is best for distorted tons
Il y a définitivement plus de possibilités de sonorités avec la PRS qu'avec la Telecaster. Cependant, je crois que la Telecaster a un meilleur "single coil" que la PRS.
I like the PRS one better. Full disclosure it is partially because I think the PRS is a more aesthetically pleasing guitar. (It's prettier 😂) 🎵🖤
