I bought one online in vintage cherry from GC/MF. A sales associate contacted me and asked if I would take one that had been on the display wall of a GC in Connecticut. I OK'ed that and when it arrived, it was a bit overpacked (I really can't complain) and it was nearly in tune (tuned the G string & off we go) and looked great. Neck wood had a little character born in the tree but was otherwise very nice. The satin finish three piece body has exactly the character you would expect: good looking but not spectacular. I've seen a few of these advertised as used where the selected three pieces were not a lucky match - the contrasting finish of each of the three pieces wasn't a good contrast, so be be careful and look at it before you buy. I was lucky, mine looks great. I'm a happy customer.

I'm of the belief, that if I set up one of the new Amazon Squires that they just came out with for around $119. With good strings and a Roland Cube, Mr. Cordy could pull off quite a ruckus with it, very easily. Does that make me want an Amazon Squire? No, no it doesn't. His playing has evolved quite nicely just over the last couple months I've noticed. Less endless noodling and an effort to simplify and condense most playing spots. Less is always more, if you convey the same message effectively. The kid is get'n hot. Maybe the key to life is efficiency, not who can play the most notes the fastest. Keef seems to think so.

So many complaints about certain aspects of the guitar just floor me. If you don't like the finish, inlays, headstock shape, the switching or whatever it is, change it or buy something else. Complaining about a guitar's design is pointless when so many brands exist is just silly. I don't work for PRS, I'm not a PRS Artist and I only have one PRS guitar. No guitar is perfect, but there are enough brands to choose from, you should be able to find one that makes you happy. Music is art and guitars are a paintbrush in that sense, it's the end result that matters, not the tool.

Nice to hear the SE CE 24 Satin gigged. I've had the cherry red one for over 2mos now. Mine weighs 7.2lbs which I don't consider "super light" but then again I'm not a youngster. I really like the guitar...and agree, it can get knocked a little out of tune in its gig bag. For me it's always the "G". They do come strung with 9's and that works for me. Overall I'm so glad PRS made a guitar that's more affordable for the masses ! As primarily a strat player, I can see where it might take getting used to. You made it sound like a million bucks John ! p.s....did you find that one know had less resistance than the other ? My tone knob has little to no resistance...turns sooo easily...maybe too easily whereas the volume feels more like the rest of my guitars. Just curious.

Hi :) There was one point, which really caught my attention "if I was running a guitar company, I probably would make sure that guitars that goes out for people to review weren't crap". And that is exactly, what I think is really happening...only those in reviews aren't crap. In the past I owned 2 PRS SEs, but Korean ones and those were superb for the money. Nowdays anytime I pickup any PRS SE in the local store, those are definitelly crap. Frets sticking out, necks bent so badly that strings were 5-10mm away from frets, tuners felt like made of tin and overall the sounds was really really uninspiring - so I assume the wood is very quickly dried out, therefore not only there are problems mentiones earlier, but also is sounds really dull. I wouldn't buy PRS SE in this day and age... Additional question: don't you have problem with satin finish that it polishes out below the strings, where your right/picking hand little finger (and maybe also sometimes ring and middle) touches the wood?
@MikeGarveyBlues 2 ай бұрын
I just bought the SE DGT. First one I received was the worst guitar I’ve ever had. Fretwork was a joke. Chunks missing out of the fretboard near the fret ends from poor filing work, etc, etc.. Second I received is brilliant. I think the QC consistency on the Korean models was better. But the Indonesians can make a great guitar when they want. Sending out perfect examples to reviewers on KZfaq and the gear mags is something all the companies will do. I take these reviews with a grain of salt. That said, I find JNC to be refreshingly honest and fair. And a great player too!

Almost all PRS guitars have that problem with the location of the pickup selector, IMO. If you have the trem bar in and hanging straight down (as it tends to), you have to “jump” over it to get to the pickup switch. Tough to do during a solo on the fly.

I understand that, and you are right there are some great guitars out there for around 500. This one being one of them I think based on my test play of one. That said though I also have a Core Custom 24... I did not buy it new because um yeah that's a lot of cash. That said it's a 2017 and there is not another guitar in my stable that plays as good. Some are close and but yeah. Is it worth the extra money... probably not as none of my guitars are lacking, but you can feel it is a step above. I'd love to say a $500-850 SE is just as good, and they are great guitars, but dangit, there is a difference.

It’s $200 cheaper than the LTD Viper which I was looking at. Unparalleled quality at probably 1/4 or 1/3 the price of an epiphone? No brainer to get this guitar and the birds are awesome.
