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.

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.

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.

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.

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 own it and i dont need anything else. i recommend installing locking tuners and its great

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 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.

I can't afford branded guitar for me this is my dream guitar

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.

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.

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.

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 .

Ok this is the most entertaining guitar demo I’ve ever seen, and the demo hasn’t even started yet. 😂

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 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.

I love PRS but your playing is what sells the guitar! PRS should give you money for doing a demo on their guitars my friend!

This is my main guitar since one year. It's brillant !

Thanks for the review! Just ordered this very one today. Bought the nut lube too. Looking forward to adding it to the arsenal!

You jest helped me make the decision to buy this guitar. I really can't drag all my gear to the store and cut loose. Thank you for the demo.

I recently brought an SE Santana model,and it's insanely reliable,plays better than my Gibson Les Paul tribute at almost twice the price.

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)

14:52 very stable!!!! That’s incredible.

I love this guitar. My stumpy fingers finally got a neck they could be buddies with. And I love the fact it has coil-split, makes it very versatile.

Sounded great. I have the se custom 24. My go to guitar at the moment

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 🙂👍🎸

Sounds good! PRS SE guitars are great and they stay in tune when set up properly, which is very important. I’m not crazy about the “wide-thin” neck shape, I just can’t get used to it. The neck pickups are muddy with gain too. If you like the neck then there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have one of these because everyone knows how good they are

The more I see of this guitar, the more I love it and the more I want one

I love the birds as fret markers

I liked hearing you play "The Loner". Great stuff. I love my SE standard. A good bargain for sure.

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.

This is why a PRS will be my next guitar :D Excellent demo !

14:15 Really nailed that Saint Vitus solo

I am buying this as my second Guitar on my birthday this year.

Hi Elmo, i think the color is very nice looking as well as the b&w pickups. All together a beautiful looking guitar!

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 bought an SE Custom 24. First time to own a PRS and I am amazed! The neck fits my girly hands perfectly and its so verstaile. Nice review!!

THANK YOU! Unboxings are boring suckfests. I appreciate you sparing us from that. Great playing and demo. Keep it up!

The coil tap sounds really good!

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... 🤪🤣😂

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 now have a new subscriber! I own several SE Guitars, love them all and they have become my normal guitars, I own a few Gibson, Epiphones and Fenders, and they all had to be gone over and reset up to be able to actually play them, between intonation and action just being super high, and not to mention the other brand guitars not staying in tune was the biggest issue I had with those, and they are a lot more expensive then the SE's mind you, my PRS Se guitars came right out of the box ready to be played on stage and in home, I did lower the action on them but that's just personal preference, and I could have left them alone , and they would have been just fine.

Bought it Today!!! Thank you so much for all the great advice and review ❤️.

Fantastic video! Brilliant playing that really shows off this guitar's strengths and versatility, thank you!

love that cheeky Gary moore in there

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.

Mr Elmo, that was a really great use of the Bees and Gees cords!!!

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.

Cool video, nice playing AND quite the abusive whammy bar test, but the guitar took it all really well, thank you!!!

Love your integrity! I always check your opinion after watching other channels on gear review 🙏🤘

Hey Elmo, after watching this review many many times I have had my eye in this model for quite a while. I was lucky enough to find one used in my local area in pristine condition for half the cost of buying new. Super happy with the guitar.Quite possibly the best guitar I’ve ever played. It’s not my go to guitar! The tuning stability is second to none. Thanks again for this review!

The only thing I don’t care for on this guitar is the pickup rings. They look good on gibson lps but not on a prs for some reason. Great video !

8:26 I have waited so long for you to play some Santana, my wish is granted PS : i would be glad if you decided to do a lesson on this master of the guitar

When Elmo noodles on the guitar nice relaxing phrases 🔥 been wanting one of these Prs models currently jamming my Michael Kelly blue burl ultra S style guitar

I have the PRS SE Standard 24 08 I love it takes the place of 5 guitars in one

Came for the guitar, stayed for the laughs. GREAT VIDEO. I'm thinking my next guitar should be a blue PRS, this one is a serious contender.

This was the first electric I ever owned and its probably my favorite. Im Considering getting an SE custom 24 08 now

Thanks for the demo... I also like your playing/music... Keep up the Thrive!

I love watching this guy he's a awesome player

Mine arrived last week in a tobacco sunburst colour. What a guitar!

Thank you for the review. Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow. I can’t wait.

Nice guitar Elmo. I just bought a PRS SE FLOYD, grey black. I will install the PRS METAL BUCKER PICK UPS \m/.

I have one; LOVE it! Just found out there was an allen wrench nut to brace the trem arm. I am now complete. LOL Great vid as always mate. Thanks! I want that TShirt dude!!! HAHAHAHA!! OMG!!! Cheers!

That is my next choice after owning a Pacifica killer Guitar. Love PRS quality guitar.

I had the SE Custom 24 which as far as can tell only had a nicer top over this, and it was the best set up guitar out of the box I had ever played.

Sold!!!!!!! Great review, this will be, the one, I buy.

a short side by side with the HB CST24 would have been a nice add to the video

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.

I love your reviews man. Homestead reviews. Love it and you have high standards for the gear which is very nice.

Staying in tune after all that is a thumbs up & sounds great for that price!

Nice one with Stayin' Alive around 6:30.

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.

I've played both the SE standard and SE custom, there was no difference in playability or tone, which is great. That means you can buy the standard over the custom and save some cash. But if you're willing to spend a little more, the S2 line is head and shoulders above the SE line. They play better, sound better, feel better, and sustain better. But either way, what a great time to be alive! ***Edit*** Oh my, forget what I said about sustain. That thing sustains for eons!

I own a 2018 Korean PRS SE custom 24 with the spalted maple veneer which sounds exactly like this (no wonder since besides the maple top they are pretty identical guitars). Imho it's the ultimate "back up" guitar 🎸 or the ultimate guitar you can take at a gig without worrying scratching or at a gig where you need a versatile guitar like a wedding or a hotel gig etc. The one thing i don't like about mine is the back, where you can see the pieces of wood. It's not the number of pieces that bugs me, but the fact that they look so widely different kinds of mahogany 🤣

STOP.. YOU'RE KILLING IT!!.. lol.. Sounds amazing thou. I really dig PRS. They do make really good guitars

I agree. Unboxing videos are boring as hell. Finally someone that shares my view haha

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!!

Nice review! My friend has a top of the line PRS Santana model. It looks, sounds, and plays great yet for some reason I can't get into PRS guitars.

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!!!

Dude people love this custom 24 to

PRS guitars are beutiful. I have owned an American made once in the collor obsidian. Now i got a custom, thats ok to

These have appealed to me. I hope to try one soon as I am able. Great review as always man.

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

Yes my new Guitar sounds nice

😅 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..... ✌️🌺😉

Bro..your Indian accent was spot on..I'm a fender guy..I've just ordered a se standard to see what's out there.. hope it makes me play more..

Prs makes some of the best guitars and they have THE BEST factory setups and quality control bar none.

Can’t wait to get mine

Hittin’ us a with a little bit of “Locked and Loaded” by Yngwie there during the demo, I can dig it haha.

Great vids, as usual ! Love these SE. I was about to purchase one but I'm gonna wait a bit and purchase the new Green SE Custom 24/08.

Man you really play nice , came here for the guitar review but , watching your video 3days til now , trying to learn from it , the way you structure it , it is wonderful . Inspiring thanks for the video man . God bless you

Great review. Was thinking about ordering one in that colour and just have as a result of your review. So thank you.

I own that guitar. Same specs and finish. I❤ it.

Very fun demo and a great departure from the usual demos I see from others. Just subscribed! BTW, what delay are you using for this demo? Cheers!!

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.

Thanks!

I have the same model in the same color. Great guitar!

I love that indigo finish!

Sounds amazing, sounds like Gary Moore's Gibson, great guitar playing Elmo, I give a huge like!
