That's a bold move by PRS! Other companies are probably sending Paul a bunch of hate mail right now LOL! Hrere's a point I've not seen mentioned elsewhere; the birds on the SE CE24 models (including this one) are a mother-of-pearl type inlay. On the US made CE24 the birds are a solid inlay (same material as the side dots perhaps?). In other words, the SE models have fancier birds than the US version ;) Looking forward to catching your other videos~
I'd imagine other companies are not too keen about PRS making something that folks can afford. Also, I didn't notice that about the birds! good eye!!! And thank you!!! I've got a few videos in the works.
Got mine about 2 weeks ago. The Vintage Cherry satin. Looks great & sounds fantastic. I really like the sound of the 85/15 "S" pickups. Played it through a Marshall half stack JCM 800 yesterday & these pickups can do just about anything. $499 is shocking.
@@JasonTMays yeaaa, when I was buying a guitar and looking at the st Vincent it was between that and a PRS and I got the st Vincent because I found a used one at $364 at the time. The PRS tho it was nice was way more then the st Vincent new for their lineups. The neck was my fav part about that PRS too
Some of my favorite guitars are affordable ones. I have a MIM Tele from 2012 that I got for $350 new on sale, put MFD pups in it and it’s perfect. Recently got a MIJ Aerodyne for $699 and put a Ron Ellis Killa in the neck and it’s become a guitar I can’t put down. I have expensive guitars too, so it’s not price. Had plenty of high end guitars leave me cold too. What’s my point? No idea. Cool PRS though! Currently debating taking my bong out of storage but it’s such a pain to clean.
AGREED!!! I love cheap guitars especially when they're good. I still have my 40th anniversary Squier and It stacks pretty favorably against the player series.
Looks nice, but I did not like the sound. Too muffy, not open & clear like the USA CE24. PRS needs to make Pattern Thin necks for the SE models. Chunky wide thin neck is not good for me.
I mean to be fair, the USA CE24 is also 4x the cost of this version. With that in mind, I think it's a close approximation. But, Im just glad we can engage in dialogue on the internet and talk like adults, because the internet is wild. lol
Just received mine today...vintage cherry red. Beautiful and affordable ! yay !!!!
hell yea!!!! happy new guitar day!!!! hope you enjoy!
I just bought mine. Haven’t been able to put it down! Such a great guitar, especially for the price! Picked up the turquoise finish.
I saw the Turquoise in person and I was impressed! I hope you're enjoying it. :)
Uncle Paul does it again... and in pretty much everybody's price range. Amazing, and that satin finish is so nice!
in 2024 Uncle Paul don't miss!

Looking forward to the deep dive, but it sounds great. Kinda surprised at how much love the SE line has been getting for the past couple of years.
Thank you! I think the love is well deserved and I’m just glad PRS is able to release an amazing guitar at this price point.

Right!!!!!!! For $499 this is an insane deal! This bodes extremely well for PRS.
It sounds great and the satin color looks nice, and to finally be in that price point range yay PRS!
RIGHT!!!!!! PRS really came through big time with this!!!!

Epiphone, Squire, you’re gonna have to step your game up!! We’ll said and true!
indeed! I am definitely see what this inspires from both of those companies.
i have two PRS and i'm truly addicted .
The Vela is my gateway into PRS. lol.
I just realized the background music during the unboxing was the “Home Improvement” theme 😂😂😂😂 I loved that show growing up.
Home improvement was a classic growing up!!! I almost wanted to do some of the Tim Allen grunts. lol

That was some fine Dad Rock 😀
Thank you!!! You know I had to dad rock with the best of them since it’s a PRS.
Nice guitar 🤩😍
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Bro hasn’t sharpened that knife in 15 years
Bruhhhhhhhh!!!!!! LMAO.
Lol tape was whoopin his ass
Can't figure out what that Gray & White Guitar is in the Background, I have a Leather PRS Guitar (The Only PRS out of My other 83 Guitars)
It's a PureSalem J.Doe! It's my editors guitar. :)
Thanks, I kinda dig it (Don't know if I dig it enough to pay $1,160.00, just to rip out the electronics) but it looks nice.@@JasonTMays
@@yormajesty Understandable, I will say it's a super awesome guitar. But, I get it. It's definitely a looker!
Bruh! you get a like just for having a modified PS1 loading screen
ayyyye!!!!!!! Thank you. I love the PS1
That intro play song is CREEPing me out Bruh😅
Oh and I got mine in the mail today!! Well in the fed-ex mail. And I got mine for Sub $400. No lie. It's from my go-to guitar shop.
@@beanapalooza6614 Bet!!!! Im stoked for you!!!! and yea...that song is a CREEPer. lol.

@@JasonTMays yea, for $500 & invest in premium pickups (PRS TCI 85/15 or any Bareknuckle pickups), it will sound better. Good budget option 👍🏻
This guitar landed at my house yesterday, and it’s fabulous !
@@rebeccagarner2576 awesome Rebecca! Is the neck comfortable to play despite the wideness/chunkiness?
@@UncleYoshi Yes no problems here
Either that's some intense tape or Jason needs to sharpen his knife
lmao! intense tape.
Looks like playjason needs to take a little time off to learn to sharpen a knife.
HERESY 😂 WHEN YOU SLEEP ON A PRS
lol.
