- In this video, I'm comparing PRS guitar models to find the best value. I'll be taking a closer look at the SE, CE, Custom 24, and 24-08 models to help you make an informed decision!
I have an S2 Standard and a CE24. I love both a lot, but the CE24 wins for sure. The S2 body is made in the US, but it still has imported electronics, while the CE has all US made parts. Not a huge thing, but noticeable. They both have push/pull coil splits, but I find the CE24 to have a nicer split sound. My biggest thing is the feel with CE24's neck vs. the S2. The S2 has a finished neck, which looks nice, but can be a bit sticky if you get sweaty at all. The CE24 has a really smooth, great feeling neck. I'd say CE's are worth the little extra money
The S2's have usa pickups now. It's what's stopped me from buying an s2 before. S2's were def a notch above the se's I've played. Incredible guitars. I haven't played a core yet. Then covid hit, and they're locking up all the guitars now.
I love my CE 24. I have strats, les pauls and other fenders as well as SE PRS's in the past. I always reach from my CE24. can not go wrong.
I’m dying to try it!
@@tylerrayhughes are you going to get one? you will never regret it.
I always suggest trying them out in a store before shopping online. They will all play and feel different. Finding the best guitar is always better when it’s in your hands before dropping cash on a picture. 😉
Very true!
@@tylerrayhughes I would def do what briandagget said ^. So many guitars look and sound diff on youtube than in person. Phil from know your gear says he prefers the s2's over the se's, but he can't really explain why. And the price diff on paper doesn't make the s2 make sense. But I think the exact same thing having played them both precovid.
One store had 3 used mark holcomb se's right next to each other. I'd rate one as the best, the second was 95% as good or it was placebo, but the third one was just dead sounding for whatever reason. Maybe the strings, but I didn't think so.
@@tonybowen455 I may just order one of each!
@@tylerrayhughessome say that‘s the deal with PRS that you can easily purchase them online because of their consistency. I bought two SE guitars online and they both will stay. They are the best value for money guitars you can buy in my opinion. BTW the „594“ relates to the scale length. Not the pickups. I think that‘s what you suspected in your video. Good luck with your choice! At some point in my life I might want an S2 or a core but if I‘m honest my two SE‘s are totally doing it for me.
@@kloudtunes right on!
Checkout the PRS NF53. I had Sweetwater send me a black dog hair one about a month ago. Perfect 10 guitar. The tone is different from other PRS guitars. It has that mojo that some people say PRS lacks.
Gotta get my hands on one! Thanks
