PRS SE models....are hands down, the best guitars at there price range...ive tried every brand with a range at a particular price, and have never found a flaw on an SE model.❤
@@SmilingBird-sv4wu same week I brought a ltd edition Mexican Strat, same price,I brought that and PRS SE custom 24....look both amazing player's,but the Strat I had to fix couple of things to get a perfect set up and install locking tuners....the PRS has been perfect and I've had to do nothing to it🙄your probly right, I'm just going from recent experience...no BS.
Love my SE ZM BUT the electronics only last a cpl years of use. Thats the only issue ive had. QC is unreal. Inntonation setup parts all 10/10 ....Overall 9/10
Had mine for a year and a half now. Changed pups to 58/15 LT, locking vintage tuners (white), white pickup rings and added push/pull tone knobs on both neck and bridge. Looks, plays, and sounds killer. It’s my number 1.
Bought mine 1,5 years ago and I play it more than my core. The guitar has such a great neck, is lightweight and it looks fantastic. Even with the increased priced, it is still a good choice and a solid platform for modifications.
that is a *working guitar* neck. set neck guitars can be a nightmare on the road, unless the neck is a big fat wedge like that one. then there's the weight reduction with semi-hollow; the single rather than double f-hole mitigates some of the feedback control issues of running a semi-hollow through a large venue sound system; it's a "scooped out solid body" rather than a trad semi-hollow so you have access to the electronics via back-plates; the scooped out solid body nature of the construction also makes it *much* sturdier than a trad semi-hollow and further contributes to feedback control. everything about it screams "touring workhorse". i might have to change the pots, dunno til i can look inside, and a SD Pearly Gates in the bridge. has to be blue, don't like the other colors. tho the tampas green wouldn't show marks and stains as much as the blue, again making it better for the road, further supporting my thesis. thank you for attending my Ted Talk, goodnight. lol
I've got a 2018 Trampas Green ZM SE, it is one of the best guitars I've ever owned, right up there with the other big names in the industry. I'm never letting it go as longs as I live and breathe.
Mr. Ewald, your fingers are talking sir. Very tasteful choice for the ranges you were trying to explain. Just placed my order for the lefty version since you sold me on my Standard 24-08 last year. I just can't believe the consistency in quality and value that PRS puts into their import line surpasses any of its competitors for the sub-$1k guitar.
ah yes, the eternal quandary. what is the ideal amount of guitars? fortunately, this problem may be solved with mathematics, x+1=y where, x= the amount of guitars you have y= the perfect amount of guitars i hope this helps.
I got this yesterday. I cannot believe it! PRS is really on fire with this SE line. I have a G&L Legacy Strat 1997 American Made. I love that guitar but I am going to have to get a Silver Sky SE now. Damn you PRS! My wallet is getting lighter! Buy this! Try this! You would NEVER know it was a 900 dollar guitar. BTW setup out of the box is great. I been playing it and haven't even turned it yet. WOW! Thanks PRS! Keep doing this kid of quality so us non pro's can have it. 😜
Ooh this has me very tempted. Agree with others here that the SE models are fantastic guitars for the price range they're in. I have a Hollowbody II Piezo and a 277 and they are just brilliant. That said, some day I will treat myself to a Modern Eagle V!
I’m a lefty and they have very few models and none of them. I’m interested in, but I did buy one of their necks and put it on a strat body with P90.i made it
@@mikeadams4605 I heard PRS are blowing out most SE models at 20% off because of inventory. I live in Canada so that only brings it down to just under $1000 retail, not really a "sale" price for Canadians, our economy sucks.
@@Manley156 Agreed, this country has many issues, I just don't like to think too much about them & complain about stuff until I can vote & do something about it.
@@Manley156 Our economy has been a mess for well over a decade & since our current Prime Minister took over in 2015 it's become so bad it's laughable. I got brain cancer in 2008, our provincial government had/have a special Retirement Disability Savings Plan where I put in $3000-$5000 and the Government add twice the amount that I put in. I can add to it for 6 more years or more if I like but I can't withdraw from it until 2040.
I love the way my 2020 Zach Myers plays, but I'm not a big fan of the pickups. Very microphonic and prone to feedback in my experience. I had them replaced with a set of 57/08's and love them. The semi-hollow body and fatter neck with a single-cut body and intonatable bridge make for a great mod platform.
Notice how most every review of guitars and guitar gadgets is stellar. "Must have product" A fool and his money are soon profit. Im guilty of it as well. Truth is all you "NEED" is a telecaster and a decent amp.
I've had about 20 PRS guitars pass through my hands since the 90s. I keep giving them an honest shake to see if one will speak to me but they never do. They have soul to me.
God only gave me two kidneys. Well at least I finally got the whale blue se24. I did some mods & it is really becoming my main guitar, even against my strat that costs twice as much. The whale blue color is intoxicating.
imma be 100% honest here. i'm not a PRS guy. they sound "nice" to me, but other than the bird inlays, i only find the single cuts at all visually appealing. granted, i'm a single cut guy, still, no PRS "jumped out at me". but i like this one. maybe because i like Shinedown, but mostly the unusual scale length. i have a preference for Gretsch scale and this guitar is just a TINY bit shorter scale than 24.6. chunky-ass neck, but i don't mind that so much. it'd have to be that color tho, the color is part of what i like about it. EDIT, oh, and imma drop a SD Pearly Gates in the bridge ASAP. not because your pups are bad, they're very good. i just LOVE that pup.

Just got my first SE yesterday and I couldn't agree more.
@@jeremygardner3193 congratulations! 🤘🙏🎸
@@SmilingBird-sv4wu that could be a Mayer thing😂 if I want a Strat I buy a Strat. Really that model don't look or feel the PRS magic (in my opinion).

Beautiful model! I fell in love with this guitar and I’ve never heard Zach hehe
Talk about perfectly tasteful playing... wow.

PRS is killin’ it!!! Waiting on my new SE SAS to arrive.
This is my no. 1 guitar for gigging. Light weight, comfortable and flawless
Always love listening to Mr Ewald. ❤
I just had to stop buying guitars but this one was to be my next.
Beautiful playing Bryan!
I bought mine before my guitar buying moratorium.
ah yes, the eternal quandary.
what is the ideal amount of guitars?
fortunately, this problem may be solved with mathematics,
x+1=y
where,
x= the amount of guitars you have
y= the perfect amount of guitars
i hope this helps.

I do think the color & scale change from the original version are a nice upgrade.
Love this and love all PRS 🎸😍🥰

Is that intro you’re playing from a song? If so what is it? Sounds so good!

This has been available for quite a while. I'm a little confused as to why we're getting a demo video now?
Thousands of them in a warehouse that need to be sold

Love mine!
That's a sick SE!
Still love mine.
Looks great
Is there any difference (aside from colour) between this any my black one?
needs to be released in a left handed model
It is this fall 🤘🥳🤘
The 10" radius is a deal breaker for me. Can't have low action without fretting out when bending strings.

With white pickups it would look better
Nickel for me!
@@kirkscobey3031nice! But, maybe gold hardware, Amber knobs and switch tip, and ivory rings and nickel covers on the pickups?
Zebras 😊
Cream 😂 moonwhite
Similar to the og prs se single cut. Wish I had bought that one. 👀
I've had about 20 PRS guitars pass through my hands since the 90s. I keep giving them an honest shake to see if one will speak to me but they never do. They have soul to me.
what i want is prs se Ewald😂😂
Who is Zach Myers of Shinedown?
God only gave me two kidneys. Well at least I finally got the whale blue se24. I did some mods & it is really becoming my main guitar, even against my strat that costs twice as much. The whale blue color is intoxicating.
02:53 I like this guitar so much, but yours is _out of tune._ bro
Darn they are only making 5
I find PRS guitars to be PIMPY looking. borderline tacky.
I'm a PRS guy buy have never seen or heard a ZM PRS..
imma be 100% honest here. i'm not a PRS guy. they sound "nice" to me, but other than the bird inlays, i only find the single cuts at all visually appealing. granted, i'm a single cut guy, still, no PRS "jumped out at me".
but i like this one. maybe because i like Shinedown, but mostly the unusual scale length. i have a preference for Gretsch scale and this guitar is just a TINY bit shorter scale than 24.6. chunky-ass neck, but i don't mind that so much.
it'd have to be that color tho, the color is part of what i like about it.
EDIT, oh, and imma drop a SD Pearly Gates in the bridge ASAP. not because your pups are bad, they're very good. i just LOVE that pup.
