Not only are PRS knocking it out of the park with their SE line of guitars, you're hitting a home run with the quality and depth of your assessments of them. Well done!

The CE was also Alex Lifeson's favorite PRS when he used them. Cool.

About 4 years ago a friend of mine sent me a picture from an Eagles concert. Joe Walsh was playing a PRS SE on stage. It looked like a CE. When I zoomed in I could easily see the SE on the headstock. These are great guitars. My favorite is still my 245.

Joe Walsh is a budget gear hero. Went from ruling the world with a 50s Bassman and a 59 Les Paul to playing through a Blues Deluxe reissue on the Eagles reunion tour

Love PRS-SE guitars; I have a Custom 22 Semi-Hollow and recently added a Custom 24--can't get enough of them. Love the violet with the matching headstock but the Swamp Ash is simply awesome. Thanks for the reviews, Phil, and to PRS for the contest.

I liked them all, and the headstock matching the fretboard or top both looked good. What impressed me most was that each one had a good variety of tones and character.

Hey, Phil. Thanks for this review. I just bought one of the Swamp Ash Specials at my local store. Very cool guitar. I wasn't fully aware of what was going on with the push/pull pot. Your review cleared that up. Lol. Loving this so far. Thanks again.

Really glad PRS added a CE to the SE line. I prefer the CE bolt-ons because of the extra snap to their sound. Hopefully I’ll be able to get one to give my 24-08 SE Standard some company.

I have a PRS SE baritone from around 2016. Best guitar I've ever owned. Granted I've never been able to afford a guitar that costs thousands, so I'm sure there are better out there, but still, I've never needed more. Beautiful, comfortable, perfect build, plays true, sounds fantastic. Fits me like it was custom built. I've never had a guitar grow on me like this one. Cost me around $700, plays like it was $1,200. Edit: Also the only guitar I haven't had customized in any way. It came to me already perfect.

@@melaniebrown8282 u love it, I can't put mine down, it plays as good as my core prs or my American fenders, I'm very surprised by the swamp ash, I played some other swamp ash guitars and hated them, it was very neutral tone. But these are like twangy fender prs growl in one. Very happy, I buy alot of guitars, this has been the best one of this year. Prs is killing it like usual.

Nice review, really appreciate it. That new bolt on neck heel carve is the business. Have never liked the way a PRS neck joined at the body until now. Like the flat black headstock vs maple. Just ordered my first PRS guitar, a SE CE24. Not sure about having 24 frets but guess will find out soon. Cheers!

@30rpower 9 ай бұрын

I'm glad you mentioned the 24 fret models' slightly different pickup locations do in fact affect the tone a bit. My S2 Standard 24 has absolute knock-out "position 4" Strat sounds when split in the middle position. I realized it must have something to do with the pickups being spaced tighter than the 22 fret models, but I'd never heard anyone else mention this before. I immediately wanted to jump on the SAS because I love those middle Strat tones...but I still prefer what I get out of my Standard 24!

Hello Phillip, PRS SE’s very nice. Personally love the weight. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Played in HS getting back in for my finger dexterity. Much has changed. the black head is very nice especially on that guitar but i depends on the guitar a painted body often looks good with a painted headstock natural or burst body matching headstock. I enjoy your channel immensely.

Great review Phillip, ( as usual ) PRS have knocked it out of the park. Their " more affordable" range just gets better & better, if I had the money I would love the S2 as the Core series is unfortunately way beyond my pay grade. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

I love the reintroduction of the black headstock on the 24, that's so much better. The maple board SAS with the maple headstock was also the right choice as far as I!m concerned. Might have to pick up an SAS, it looks great. Thanks for the video Phil!

I believe the push-pull on the Swamp Ash Special activates the middle PU. So when you read the DC ohms you were reading the neck+bridge setting. Thanks for the video, I think I need a SAS in my collection!!

Ah, I see, you got it... The downside to that setup is that you can't get the middle PU by itself.

Thanks Phil. I don’t keep up with PRS at all so, it’s fun to see that SE are keeping up with Squier and Epiphone in the quality department and possibly exceeding expectation by offering ash wood. Perhaps the next Classic Vibe or Epiphone 59 LP will be upgraded with more Vintage-correct choices since PRS seems to be going that extra mile.

All three of them are absolutely gorgeous things PRS are and have been top of my GAS list for a while now .I’ve been heavy heavy hankering for a Paul’s SE but that violet coloured one ….has just took the top spot on my wish list . I’ve been playing second hand guitars since I began playing back in 2019 due to lack of funds and having to pay the bills and eat lol I’m about to start a new job With good salary my first wee treat I’m gonna get a PRS the thugs are awesome
