How good is the lowest end PRS? // PRS SE Standard 24-08 Guitar Review

In this video we're checking out the PRS SE Standard line. This is the lowest-end and most cost effective line from PRS, but they still pack a ton of features and playability into it. Just how good is the bottom of the PRS lineup?

Would love to see more videos evaluating/comparing value-oriented guitars in the $500-750 range. i.e. Gretsch Electromatic range vs. PRS SE range vs. Epiphone, etc. for worship leaders looking for a good P&W axe.

@joshthiel7187 3 ай бұрын

Love the guitar. I tend to move around instruments a lot on any given Sunday (often multiple on a single Sunday) between bass, electric, acoustic… I would love to see some more content for bass players if you guys ever have the time! Thank you for the passion you guys have not just for gear, but for worship and equipping worship leaders!

My wife gave me this model as a gift for our anniversary. It's such an awesome sounding and looking guitar. Very versatile and it's my main axe now in my gigs because you get a wide sound palette for different genres, and I plan to use it in our praise and worship team at church as well. It's my very first PRS and it inspires me to play music more. Way better than the other guitars I used to play. Great review! Subscribed!

Always fun videos. NOTE: The LOWEST end PRS is actually the SE series, CE Standard Satin model, MRSP $499. New model as of last month or so... BTW, CONGRATS Jaden! That's one fine looking & sounding guitar ;)

@worshiptutorials 3 ай бұрын

Thanks! I was trying to refer to the SE Standard line as a whole being their most affordable options. It's a bit misleading because the 24-08 is one of the more expensive models in that line-up (the hollow bodies are a bit more, I think). Maybe I should have clarified that a bit better in the video

Definitely agree about the huge value here. The clean and slightly overdriven tones sound nice, but the more gainy stuff just doesn't do it for me. It's just muddy. I have 2 heavily modded SE's. One with Duncans and one with PRS USA HFS & Vintage Bass. They're amazing upgrade platforms, but to your point, a great guitar that can ride a lot of miles with you!

I bought a PRS 24 Custom last year, to be honest becuase I love the birds-inlays. A few months after that we had an EG-Workshop at church, we've played the guitars of each other. Now we have 2 PRS in our worshipteam. 😁

To give this guitar a fair shot he has to use the same gear that he uses with his expensive guitars. That way you can compare the guitar and you are giving it the best shot.

@@TomsonTheOne totally get what your saying, but tbh with all the effects every guitar sounds the same on YT. It’s not until you hear it in person or on a simplified rig is when the actual guitar itself speaks. My mans using a Quad Cortex + a $3000 board. You could plug a Squire into that and it will probably sound the same or similar
