The SE line has single handedly made the entire industry produce a higher quality instrument. PRS used to be the only guitar I would buy online because I knew it could be set up perfectly.
What nonsense. Do you work for PRS?
LOL- What rubbish- you're a fan boy junior. By the time the SE line came out there were already great guitars on the market for insane prices- Sire, Squier, Yamaha, etc. - those are the companies that pushed ppl to produce higher quality at lower prices- not PRS.
@@stoneysdead689I work in the gear industry. When a PRS comes in, there’s no setup or cleaning to be done whatsoever. When any of those others come in, they usually look like they’ve been collecting dust in the box for a year or more and they need major intonation and truss adjustments. Especially Fender, those basically need revamped before they’re even put on the wall. And this is coming from a Fender fanboy, I’m just not gonna lie and say that PRS doesn’t have an easily noticable level of immense care that they take with their instruments. I’ve never seen that care be demonstrated by another company ever. Atleast not until you hit the ≈$2500 price range.
You are wrong. It depends on the seller. I bought 2 DGT SE at 2 different music stores, one was perfect adjusted, the other had a bow neck ……They all sound different. That is the problem with the SE line, you have to test a lot to find a really good one.
Except they're not.
I love mine. But out of 3 that I own, I had to return 2 DOA, and all 5 had to be set up. Some had ridiculously high action.
Paul brought that Dragon to my high school for an assembly in 2003 and let me and other kids hold and play it. Couldn’t believe he’d trust us with that thing. All he said was “just don’t break it. Thats a $30,000 guitar”. 😂 such a cool guy to do that in his community.
Man Paul sounds like an absolute legend. I remember being about 15 years old (I started playing at 6) and saw my dad's friend playing a proper American Strat. I'd never seen one before because nice guitars are very hard to come by where I live. Asked him if I could play a bit and he's like maybe when you're older. Hated that guy ever since :P Now that I'm older if a kid ever came up to me asking to play my guitars I'd be more than happy to let them play.
Lee, you killed it on that play out with Pete!
Very nice.
Lee and Pete: well done! Of all the trips you've taken to factories you seem to be totally at home with Paul Smith and his factory! Home! You and Paul have a deeper relationship than "builder-marketor"! You deeply like and respect each other. I've enjoyed these videos tremendously! Thanks for producing this content and sharing with your public!🎼🎶🎵🎸💖
Absolutely an astounding accomplishment on the SE models. Thank you Jack!
I remember back in the early 2000s, PMT in Birmingham (UK) had one of those Dragons in a glass cabinet with a list price of around £20-25K. Simply bonkers! Incredible craftsmanship. I remember looking at it for ages and admiring all the detail. Not my kind of thing, but amazingly impressive nonetheless. There's nothing else like it in the industry, and whilst I don't play a PRS, I respect them as builders so highly for this sort of attention to detail. They're true artisans👏🏼.
They weren't called PMT then. I never had the nerve to ask the sole female employee at my local store what she thought of the male geniuses who came up with that name for the chain...
When I did my work experience in that store 12ish years ago it was still there in the cabinet - I've never dusted anything so carefully in my life!
So this the man I need to thank for my SE. Thank you Jack!
Great vid, Anderton's team. Thank you, Jack for producing such great SE guitars. My SE 245 is beautiful, plays/sounds great, and didn't break the bank.
I bought an SE Standard 24 in 2020. I love the mahogany wood grain on the top and back. I love the way it plays and the variety of tones. Thanks for the video !!
Picked up my prs se standard tobacco yesterday from Andertons it is beautiful and thanks to Dave for all your help.
the #5 Custom 24 sounds incredible. Thank you Lee and Pete for all the incredible videos! I love this channel
Wonderful video ! Always enjoyable guys.
I can't think of any current PRS guitars that have P90s in them, yet that Sorcerer's Apprentice sounded absolutely killer! They should totally make a version of that 594 with double P90s.
I remember first seeing pictures of that PRS Dragon when I was about 17 years old, and that was arguably one of the big influences for me to get into playing guitar, because that thing looked so damn cool!
That #5 has such a violin feel to it. I love it!
It's inspiring to see Lee's playing improve each year.
PRS is single-handedly responsible for my desire to own way more guitars than I would ever need. Wonderful video, team! Best music content on YT by far!
I love how you are managed to make great videos so frequently! Good stuff.
Amazing playing from you both ❤
Thank you for taking us on a wonderful tour of the PRS factory.
Thanks for the lovely comments about Eastern MD! We like it here!😊
PRS SE Factory tour in Indonesia is top notch. They show majority of the steps and so entertaining
SE line was always amazing from the first gen. Revolutionized the guitar industry. These se's sound and look amazing. One day I want a core. The only questions is what one!
Being from Baltimore I’ve always wanted to do a Maryland rig, PRS and a Tone King amp.
Edit: add Triode Pedals into that
Serial number 5 sounded AMAZING
Sitting here on the edge of forever in Fayetteville North Carolina! Man, that Iri-Blue is a beautiful color.
right up here in Winston Salem myself ! Cheers !
Love my PRS SE standard 24 . Not my first guitar or my best, but I do love to play it! For someone coming from ESP, Jackson and Charvel, the PRS brings out a whole new style to my playing.
Damn, that Sorcerer's Apprentice might be the best sounding PRS I've ever heard.
Imo - and I know PRS would hate me for saying this - the best guitars I've ever played were all mid to late 90s and early 2000s PRS guitars. I don’t know if it's the guitars ageing or something but they all sound absolutely out of this world
Great jam!
I have a Gibson SG. My most "expensive" guitar outside of that is the PRS S2 Vela. However, the SE Multifoil is my main guitar. Excellent quality and the pickups are the best of any guitar I have.
My only issue with PRS is I don't have more of them.... yet. Great video. SE is my line of choice. Maybe some day a core or S2.
Those new SEs are just phenomenal looking. It shows the confidence they have in their core line that they’re not worried about diluting their market - they’re just capturing more players who become lifelong customers. It’s a brilliant brand strategy move.
Boy, I REALLY want to figure out a way to justify buying a Swamp Ash Special…love the tone
Good video guys. I have the Swamp Ash Special in that same colour. Great guitar. Better looking in person. Required absolutely zero set up out of the box. And its heavier than you would think.
Give us more color options on the SE DGT please!
LOVING THE GREEN MEANY, WITH THE MAPLE NECK ITS SPOT ON, LOVCED THE VID BOYS EPIC.
Paul used to drive up and down the coast selling and delivering guitars to dealers. I had the chance to buy a yellow top CU24 he just delivered to Wethersfield Music in CT. 749! I bought a strat for the same price instead lol.
Captain is KILLING it on that 16:00 minute jam
Wow
The SE Irsh Blue swamp ash sounds great. I'd put a 5 way switch in it though.
Thank you jack and paul. The prs se line has made prs available to me and allowed me to enjoy a wonderful instrument.
And a thank you also goes out to ted mccarty for being such a pioneer in the first place. The mccarty 594 in blue is my current favorite in the line and the dgt is on my short list for whats next.
Jack's the man to listen to... Always has been.
As always super interesting. I really like Serial No.5, with that "sweet switch" was it? Gives it a very nice honk.
Nice, that Jack mentioned the 513. It's the most underrated - and unfortunatly discontinued - guitar PRS ever made. It offers Lee's go to layout HSH, but delivers way more voices. Still astonishing.
That SAS sounds killer.
I played one of the Bernie Marsden Private Stock once. Unbelievable guitar.
Massive thanks to Jack for the creation of the SE line. My Tremonti SE Custom is the guitar I could never part with. I love it.
I’m patiently waiting for an SE Miles Kennedy!
@@martyshwaartz971 Same here my friend!! All in good time.
And thank him for making sure they're really guitars professionals can play, there's nothing "beginner" about them.
I ditched my MIM Fender Lone Star for the SE Silver Sky and just picked up the CE SE. They are amazing guitars for the price!
I have a PRS SE Custom 24-08 it's the best I can afford. Can't complain it does the job VERY well.
Lee you have come a long way on guitar....😎
Those old guitars sound incredible
I absolutely love the SE series. They sound MAGNIFICENTS.
Not an entry level guitar. I can easily live with one of these all my life.
Being the entry level prs is not the same thing as being an entry level guitar.
@@MUSIC-CENTURY well let's take the dictionary definition "suitable for a beginner or first-time user; basic"
As was mentioned in the interview, SE's are played by touring professionals. They're not beginner-only/basic instruments. Also mentioned in the interview (paraphrasing) "the £500-£1000 price point isn't your first guitar, it's your first proper guitar"
PRS dropped the Student Edition tag years ago. I'm pretty sure it was even Jack H who said that in an interview. The early Santana SE's would absolutely fit the dictionary classification as "basic". They weren't deemed fit to even carry Smith's signature. Times have changed and PRS themselves don't view the current generation of SEs as basic beginner guitars. SE now just means SE. The student edition is historical.
@@MUSIC-CENTURY there is no mention of "student edition" on the prs website. Both Google and the prs search bar give 0 results.
What you originally said is no longer there. You've edited your first post.
I saw one of those dragon PRS guitars at a museum in Arizona
They even had a double neck with tails of each dragon starting on the necks and leading to both dragons on the body 🐉 🐲
I love my US made CE24, swapped my US made standard for it a few years ago
Those new SE models look superb. I love my SE DGT and SE Hollowbody II Piezo. Thanks to Jack Higginbotham for making such great guitars at an affordable price. It's really nice to see the vintage guitars out of their display cases and being given a proper workout! 😎
good god that violet color is to die for
I really, really, REALLY want them to make a Sorcerer's Apprentice in some kind of production someday...
36:11 - Oh shit! I actually played one of those a million years ago!! It was...like...as expensive as a new Camry at the time. 🤣 Played great and looked INSANE!!
Wondering which present-day model might come close to the sound of that Sorcerer's Apprentice? I'd be happy with that on 22 frets.
That riff in the jam around 35 minutes in, hopefully I'm not the only one to hear it, but it's definitely the "baby bottle pop" jingle.
That #5 guitar, bridge pickup with the switch up(?) sounded great … So, what pickups are in that? Are they the same pickups that are in a current Custom 24? Or are they a pickup option, at least?
I got an old SE as a makeweight in a trade the other year. I have several more valuable guitars, but I am gradually coming around to thinking it is actually my best guitar
Dude has one cool job
I looked at that dragon so many times on their web page back in the day!
All I need now is a PRS Studio SE and my collection will be complete. Love the SE range. They're great guitars and as close as anyone can get to core quality I think.
I'm such a sucker for the turquoise swamp ash models, but not as big of a fan of the inverted fretboards, I want a dark fretboard with light bird inlays... I'm literally stuck. Sad story.
The sorcerer’s apprentice sounded great.
Was hoping Pete would play a little of Queens Dragon Attack on that PRS Dragon
Damn im upset I missed yall in my state.
The Iri blue would be so much cooler if it were "Eerie Blue" because Cleveland (the city of rock and roll) sits on the shore of Lake Eerie. C'mon, that's perfect! Someone tell the man!
Erie
that 85 with Lee playing was magic!!
I really think stop tail should be an option on these new models.
23:04 that reaction says it all.
Now we need a hardtail Dusty Warring SE
Mary Land. Bahaha. I love Lee so much. Everyday he makes my day.
"sweet switch" resembles the tone control being rolled down to "3" as opposed to being full up.
They should do a core limited run of the sorcerers apprentice
I’d have these over a Les Paul any day of the week
Please give us a lemon top! Please :)
Please bros review Alabs series pedals. Reverb, delay, pitch shift and modulation. Stereo pedal with multifunction all for about $99 dollars.
We need a sorcerers apprentice reissue.
will be great to do TAYLOR GUITAR factory please as well
I love prs guitar s😊
Lee: Mary - Land
PRS guy - exactly right!
Don't encourage him 😂
Lee, please ask if they will do a SE McCarty 594 DC in purple iris like Andre Madatian plays!!!!
Please! I’ll find a way to pay for it!!!
I love my PRS SE hollow
Best $1k guitar ever
However…..the original wiring and pots was holding it back, I replaced the wiring with a cloth covered aftermarket kit……also a bargain ……it was like a new guitar bought in 2019, maybe better now.
But where to cut the cost? So I get it, wiring or not, it’s a superlative guitar, for me upgrading the wiring was a no brainer
PRS SE line changed my mind about cheaper guitars. The quality is just so good that me as a living room/church occasional guitarist have all I want. I have an S2 and SE and find no difference in quality. No way can I justify paying $2k+ for my guitars. And with the SE line I don’t need to!
Jack is forsure killing it with the se guitars, the swamp ash special is a awesome guitar , so versatile, the wang bar has the smoothest action on the swamp ash, its almost magical. Your vibrato sounds so Natural almost like a bigsby, non of my other guitars do that. It one of my favorite prs guitars. Over my cores. The new 85/15s are bright and snappy like a fat singlecoil. The se line is brilliant.
Pete should have played "Dragon Attack" on the Dragon. Of course that would have gotten the video de-monitized.
I heard say the CE came from a prototype Eddie Van Halen model.
I have a Gibson Les Paul Standard, an American Standard Strat and a PRS Custom 24 SE and I notice no difference in quality between the 2 American models and the SE. In fact the SE is that good I don't see what is to be gained by buying a Core model. It's simply an excellent and affordable guitar.
The sorcerer’s apprentice needs to be made.
Staggeringly expensive "historic" guitars for lawyers and similar to play about on at the weekend. From a business standpoint, it's smart for PRS to make/sell them, but they're still just a couple of humbuckers, a neck and a body. The SEs are every bit as good as functional instruments.
Unfortunately the weight is all over the place with that Swamp Ash Special... If you're going to buy that, I'd suggest making sure you're okay with the weight first... and buying if from somewhere that actually provides the weight.
Bought the first run PRS SE Santana "Black". It was my primary gigging guitar; you couldn't knock it out of tune. But the color combination/hardware colors are gawdy/just awful imo, and it's not just PRS.
In Brazil SE is top of LINE... It's Very expensive, it's almost impossible for a musician to buy a core model
I became family with the SE model. Family…
Indonesia temperatures compared to Maryland is soo different. Quality control has got to be a major issue.
Still no left handed silver sky se though 😢
That number 5 definitely has the bell thing, as Pete said
The sound is just falling out of it
For all the quality talk I’ve bought two SEs - a Paul’s guitar and a silver sky - both had issues. The Paul’s guitar had a loose fret at the 3rd fret and caused buzzing. Had to be pressed down, reglued and releveled. The silver sky buzzes at the 9/10/11 fret. And that’s each purchased brand new from sweet water after the “55 point inspection” - turns out they should have a 59 point inspection and check the 3/9/10/11 fret area.
But yeah, not impressed. Want to be. I love my PRS special semi hollow. I love my Mira.
Maybe I’ve had bad luck, but I ended up returning both guitars, even after my go-to-tech fixed the Paul’s guitar.
Good luck and carry on. Hope you guys can live up to the promises.
This amazes me the way that prs goes on about how many times they check them and double checked by Sweetwater it's not like it's a little spec of paint it's a loose fret and these are not cheap instruments. I played a anniversary model I wanted to like it so bad but I hated the neck .
@@pentatonicpaddy yeah, I was really surprised on both accounts. And sweetwater was great about the return - didnt charge me shipping or restocking. But yeah overall sort of frustrating. I should also say im not super picky - I dont mind putting some work into setting up a new guitar - especially if it’s affordable from overseas. But if it’s so bad I can’t do the work myself out of the box, that’s a sign to me it got missed in the quality check process.
That’s too bad. I’ve got two and my son has one and so far they are perfect. I’m sure I’ll be buying another one. I’m selling other guitars.
Thats a bummer.
I have both those guitars, and they showed up perfect!
You’re not the only one with quality issues, went to raise neck pick up height on my DGT SE. Pick was actually wedged into cavity so tight so tight no movement was possible. Had to rout cavity and shield to gain room for adjustment. Certainly no quality control there.
😮
