PRS guitars look amazing, their electrics and acoustics play perfectly, and they’re set up just right brand new out of the box! Love the attention to detail with even their lower end stuff.
For sure, the difference between this 600€ guitar and their 2000-4000€ guitars are not night and day difference. In blind tests people have failed to pick out this SE line as being the cheapest one amongst other PRS guitars which starts at 1800€ and then go up. So this guitar is very impressive for the price. They recently released the new generation of the SE line and the prices have gone up a bit though. They now start at 800€ with this standard model. Still like you mentioned, It is great to see them put a lot of effort into these "cheaper entry level" guitars.
This has to be one of the best guitars I have ever owned. It plays amazingly, it sounds great, it feels good, it’s comfortable…it’s just perfect. Never thought I’d find a guitar that would beat my Peavey HP Signature EXP but this one does it. I am a die hard Strat guy and I find myself playing this more than my Strats these days. It was very well setup and intonated straight out of the box too. Didn’t have to do anything but plug it in and have fun. And I absolutely love the coil taps on it also.
Amazing value. If you want PRS 24 with better tuners, you must buy the S2 24 for $1650. If you want PRS 24 with better pickups, you must buy the CE 24 for $2000. If you want PRS 24 with better bridge, you must buy the Core CU 24 for $3700. That is astonishing. I wish more guitar brands had such quality components in their cheapest guitar.
Nah, if you want better tuners you just go and spend under 100usd on the locking tuners from PRS. Anything under the core and above the SE you're paying for aesthetics because you can upgrade anything on the SE for WAY cheaper, pickups and/or tuners.
The SE Standard has the same pickups as most of their lineup. The 85/15. Those same pickups can be found in some Custom guitars and even some of their premium US made guitars. The only real difference is the build quality, the finishes and the SE Standard having a cheap nut. Other than that they are basically all the same. You could drop $1500 on a good quality PRS and it might have the same pickups as their $649 SE.
Thanks for posting this video. I was in the market for an affordable guitar that wasn’t junk. This video made me take a look at the SE Standard. I went to a couple of local shops and played MANY guitars. I had always overlooked the SE Standards. After playing one, I chose the Standard over all the other SE’s and many other makes and models. Your video helped me see how versatile the Standard is. It’s a nice guitar for the money. Great playing by the way, you have a new subscriber. Thanks.
The whammy staying in tune after that abuse was impressive! The bridge pickup sounded fine both splitted and as a humbucker. The neck pickup was a bit too muddy. That guitar with three single coils and another layout of the electronics would be a strat killer. And I always enjoy the playing.
I bought this exact model in the blue color about 6 months ago. Immediately got it to tech to install a bone nut. Otherwise I would not change anything. It sounds great, plays great, frets are level and well rounded, stays in tune better than some of my higher end fixed bridge guitars (since the nut upgrade). Pickups are fine and those can be swapped anytime anyway... I has rounder fretboard radius but that is also about personal preference.
Not a guitar for everyone. I borrowed my friends trampus green se and I didn't like it. It was okay but was not butter. Not that I expected that but something didn't jive with me. If it was mine I would have done a set up but I think I didn't like the pickups more than anything. Seemed week but then again I use seymour Duncan's Saturday night specials in my stew mac super lp and the 57 classics in my epi pro 3 traditional. Honestly I wouldn't buy one. I'd probably go for a musicman cutlass. Fine fine guitar if I could afford it.
That extreme whammy test blew my mind! I wouldn't have never expected a bridge like this to be able to keep everything in tune so well. I'm guessing this bridge will be able to easily handle a simple Drop D tuning without knocking all the strings out of tune.
With a floating tremolo, detuning the low E to D will cause the other five strings to go slightly sharp. How noticeable this will be I can't say, but it'd show on a tuner.
@@mathias6423 It might not even be necessary. Sure, the five strings would go sharp (as per my observation), but it may be so slight as to not even need correction (as per my observation).
@@ParaBellum2024 That is good, because I mean, changing tuning and even changing strings on a tremolo like this is much closer to a normal fixed bridge than a Floyd rose for example right ? Except that you often have to tune all strings when tuning one compared to a fixed bridge of course. That is what I think is great with a tremolo like this if It can hold it's tuning this good, that it is much easier to live with than for example a Floyd Rose.
I'm a Registered Nurse in Chicago I make 6 figures and I play this exact guitar in church. No need to get anything else and I can afford it . I love my SE Standard. Awesome video you are very talented brother!
I heard the healthcare in the US is keraazzy expensive, now I know why, nurses paid 6 figures, they deserve to be rewarded when they do a great job with a very nice guitar.
I think it may be the ultimate guitar actually. Price is amazing, I have an SE Custom 24 version and I can imagine the quality you get for that price. Also it's a PRS, not a subbrand. PRS do care about their customers and provide great quality at any price point. For a gigging guitarist on a budget this is perfect.
That Standard of yours the stock 85/15"S" pups sound really good with the Plexi, not even necessary to swap them. I have a 2008 Korean SE and I wasn't a fan of the stock pups, so swapped the neck for a Seymour Duncan P-Rail. With the various switching options capable with a P-Rail I'm very happy with the result.
I have PRS SE Custom 22 or 24 as my dream guitar. Nice to see even the standard range is really really good. 24-08 has TCI"S" pick ups. They are supposed to be better for splitting. I might go for that. Paul's guitar also has the pick ups from SE range.
I'm holding your excellent demonstration of this PRS SE 24 responsible... You've made me reconsider purchasing a PRS SE Custom 24. I hope you are happy... 🤪🤣😂
I bought a PRS SE out of interest a year ago & was amazed at the quality, its got binding like yours but its a different shade of blue , Its such a dark blue it looks almost black every little thing was addressed on this guitar & I got it brand new for $400 USD. the pickups where okay, I put locking tuners & a new nut I also put in PRS Metal pickups ( they cost nearly as much as the guitar ) very high output, Im not used to high output pickups. Its now one of my guitars for session work, the pickups are very versatile & clean. Im used to hs3 hs4 yjm furys in my Strats so this was very different. It has to be the best cheaply priced quality guitar out there, & there is the perfect guitar Elmo its called the Fender Stratocaster In Yngwies words" Strats are the pinnacle of guitar making & look how sexy they are " ha He's funny .
I picked up the mark tremonti prs se ,looks beautiful plays great till you stand up,,whoosh ,neck drops ,,,I cant believe a guitar of this quality is not even balanced!!
Awesome! I'm gonna be buying the red version of this soon, although I do really like how the blue looks. From all the videos I've seen, it looks like a great guitar for the price, and I plan on doing some upgrades to make it even better.
The custom 24 se has been my main guitar for the past 5 or 6 years. Recently discovered the bernie marsden se which is just as good. Brilliant guitars 🙂👍🎸
hey man, you really rockin in this video! I watched the whole video only cause of you playing that great.... anyway interested in buying this guitar :D
Genio Elmo!!! Gracias pir tu sinceridad. Tenes muy marcado el rock neo clasico en tu forma de ejecutar y realmente lo haces muy bien! Te mando un gran abrazo desde Argentina!!!
Rad playing, man and great demo, a truly very versatile instrument! Incredible "bang for the buck"! You also showed plausibly that it can stand its ground in the "shredding" department - and doesn't have to be coy in any way. Definitely on the all time and ever growing wish list (or maybe the McCarty 594 by now which weren't available until very recently)
That guitar is made by Cort. They make great guitars. Real PRS pickups aren’t very good. Personally I like the color. But why that goofy neck heel? It’s unnecessary.

It seems to me after watching a lot of videos on this channel that your favorites/best guy guitars around that 500-600€ mark is this PRS SE Standard and the Ibanez JEMJR. Any other guitars I missed ?
@@MrPolevaulter I bought this guitar some months ago, what exactly did you do to it to keep it in such great tuning after abusing it with the whammy bar like you did in the end of this video ? Do you have a video on how you set it up with the nut-lube ? If not could do a video where you show that procedure/how you apply it/go about it and what nut-lube you use ? Thank you for keeping on bringing us great videos Elmo!
Great review..I appreciate the all round approach..clean,dirty.. overdrive...pick..finger... really gave a great impression of what the guitar can do...one of the best reviewers out there.
Man I played a PRS once, loved it except for one detail, the pickup selector really didn't feel natural to me. It had oen of those 5 way rotary things where you knew you were on the bridge at one end, and that's it. Really couldn't get friendly with that system 😂 Neck and sounds are amazing.
Dude thank you so much for reviewing this guitar, I bought it a few months ago as my 1st ever guitar, but hadn`t really hear anyone playing it so nicely. Just shows it`s not the guitar, it`s the player :)) If you ever get a time to record some clean sounds playing it would be fab. All the best, Vick.
I'm buying one, AFTER I pay for a $2,000.00 T.V. I just broke out of Anger for an Ex-friend who tried to get me hooked on Meth...No fiends needed, if that's what's out there!
Nice reivew Mr Karjalainen. I love PRS but I hate the fact that they cheap out on the body carve on the SE series. The guitars themselfs are amazing and well worth their price even if some of them are a bit expensive, but from that price I would want more. And PRS can do more, they just won't. So unfortunately I get more out of Squier Affinity or a Bullet than these, because at least the Strat look has a lot of inspiration to it. These SE guitars just looks too flat for me.
One the best reviews I've seen from you (and I really like your reviews). One thing only, your hands and this amp make most of the guitars sound great... That was not a complaint. My own conclusions come from what every guitar "makes" YOU play on it.
Having been disappointed some while ago by two SE 245s which had to go back, I took a bit of time off from GASing for PRSs. Until ... Enter the SE DGT. I did a LOT of research (watching of videos) and bought one from Peach Guitars this time. Why Peach ? Because they really DO open the boxes and perform a setup, so No QC lottery. I am now a Very Happy Bunny. This SE DGT is Brilliant ! It's got me playing stuff I never did before. Genuinely Inspirational.
😅 You have a GREAT sense of humor! I just bought guitar in Red... Lovin' it !! Seriously! SO! Enjoyed your Playing - humor. Now, if I could borrow your Finger's..... ✌️🌺😉
I concur..........the ultimate no but damn great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For me the ultimate is a Tele/bellycut ......SD Hot singlerail in the bridge and D'angelico D'armand pu in the neck
"And those were the sounds thank you good night" 🤘🤣👌brilliant Ps. If u read this comment...plz plz tell me...prs standard 24..or prs custom 24....one time investment wise..tight budget buy ..dont wanna compromise on stage concert quality..🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
14:43-14:46 You cut out something after the tremolo test (wammi bar), can you please tell me what it was, it just seems to me that behind the scenes you tuned the guitar ... I'm not saying that you did it but I am interested in the authenticity of this test I hope you answer))) I've been looking at your reviews for a long time, they are perfect)))
Hey Elmo, thanks to your review I ordered this one! But everyone else on the internet seems to have issues with the trem system and tuning stability. Could you give me a video link or something that can help me set this guitar up properly similar to what was done with yours? I'm a complete beginner
First day I got it. Its pretty decent but the volume and tone pot was pretty crap. Mine came in badly set up tho, was pretty bummed. I would upgrade the bridge pickup tho, idk it dosen’t have the fat sound I was looking for and was too much on the treble side.
Sorry if I missed it, but you didn’t talk much about the neck. I am looking for something with a thin and wide neck like, I believe, some of the Ibanez guitars are. Would this fit the same description? Thanks.

I am going to buy this guitar, and will upgrade the nut with a Graphtec one and install Prs locking tuners.
@@ezer0923 Yes, it’s the 85/15s, not 85/15. As per my original post, if you want better pickups than the 85/15s, you have to get the CE24.
i own it and i dont need anything else. i recommend installing locking tuners and its great
Well done, Dr. K. I've owned several SEs and they've all been exceptional value for money, and sounded and played way above their price point.
Cheers!

I have owned a few PRS pieces, and my favorites in the SE line are the Tremontis. Hotter pickups.
Once again, EJK, great review. Fair and honest.
Thanks :)
It is the best guitar i have owned fit and finish outstanding. I have gibby and fenders but prs is the best
Having been disappointed some while ago by two SE 245s which had to go back, I took a bit of time off from GASing for PRSs.
Until ...
Enter the SE DGT.
I did a LOT of research (watching of videos) and bought one from Peach Guitars this time.
Why Peach ?
Because they really DO open the boxes and perform a setup, so No QC lottery.
I am now a Very Happy Bunny.
This SE DGT is Brilliant ! It's got me playing stuff I never did before.
Genuinely Inspirational.
Is it a versatile guitar ? Can we play metal ,jazz etc...
Sure
Bought it Today!!! Thank you so much for all the great advice and review ❤️.
Hope you enjoy it!
😅 You have a GREAT sense of humor! I just bought guitar in Red... Lovin' it !! Seriously! SO! Enjoyed your Playing - humor. Now, if I could borrow your Finger's..... ✌️🌺😉
I have the same guitar. Had it for nearly a year. And I can definitely say its stayin' alive, stayin alive........ 🤪🤪🤪
I concur..........the ultimate no but damn great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For me the ultimate is a Tele/bellycut ......SD Hot singlerail in the bridge and D'angelico D'armand pu in the neck
"And those were the sounds thank you good night" 🤘🤣👌brilliant
Ps. If u read this comment...plz plz tell me...prs standard 24..or prs custom 24....one time investment wise..tight budget buy ..dont wanna compromise on stage concert quality..🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤
Thanks! I haven't tried the Custom, so I can't really say. Sorry :(
Staying in tune after all that is a thumbs up & sounds great for that price!
Yep :)
Ordered 6 month wait
14:43-14:46 You cut out something after the tremolo test (wammi bar), can you please tell me what it was, it just seems to me that behind the scenes you tuned the guitar ... I'm not saying that you did it but I am interested in the authenticity of this test I hope you answer))) I've been looking at your reviews for a long time, they are perfect)))
Just me messing up in what I was saying. Didn't tune up 😊
Have you noticed that the paint work is not as good on the Indonesian guitars as it was on the Korean guitars 😳
Nope.
@@MrPolevaulter keep your eyes open
Thanks for the demo...
I also like your playing/music...
Keep up the Thrive!
Thank you 😊
the dude laterally cut in the moment of truth section messing with the whammy and testing the tuning again... LOL MEH
Hey Elmo, thanks to your review I ordered this one!
But everyone else on the internet seems to have issues with the trem system and tuning stability.
Could you give me a video link or something that can help me set this guitar up properly similar to what was done with yours? I'm a complete beginner
I can't remember setting it up too much. It's been a while since I had it.
I had this guitar for a while but didn’t like it because it wasn’t my preference I’m more of a Jackson guy so I traded the guitar for a Marshall
First day I got it. Its pretty decent but the volume and tone pot was pretty crap. Mine came in badly set up tho, was pretty bummed. I would upgrade the bridge pickup tho, idk it dosen’t have the fat sound I was looking for and was too much on the treble side.
Nice riffing. You can actually play
Ascending passages! Rare. Good
Sounds. Thanks 😊
Thank you very much!
You are welcome 😁
PRS guitars are beutiful. I have owned an American made once in the collor obsidian. Now i got a custom, thats ok to
No locking tuners? What a rip-0ff, they're available online...?
I would have liked to see the tuning test without a piece of footage trimmed out!
The edit was just made for the tempo of the video. The delay trails were fairly long.
@@MrPolevaulter Thanks Elmo. I guess PRS are worth the hype.
Sorry if I missed it, but you didn’t talk much about the neck. I am looking for something with a thin and wide neck like, I believe, some of the Ibanez guitars are. Would this fit the same description? Thanks.
Haha that was a nice review man loved the part when u read that instructions part almost like mr bean 😇
Cheers!
