@@tymanngruter1808 I need to try out one of those sandblasted models. I would imagine it has that more natural thin skin nitrocellulose feel to it. Thanks for watching!
My SE HB II Piezo is the prettiest guitar i have. But my favorite, the SE DGT, is amazing all around. Fell in love on day one. I do have an old modified SE Singlecut with core 57/08 pickups that are killer(!!), but stock has to go to the SE DGT.
Can’t go wrong with the DGT. Have you tried any SE’s with soapbar/P-90 pickups? Amazingly underrated pickups made by PRS. Thanks for watching!
Nice Review. I agree on the PRS Satin Nitro Necks. It's the best. Try some D'Addario Lemon Oil Cleaner and Conditioner on NF3
@@JTB-- I would if I still had it! Lol, traded the NF3 and some cash for my PRS CE 24 semi-hollow in Matteo blue. Worth it on every level though I could definitely see myself owning another guitar with the narrow field pickups in it. Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 Nice. I have a CE 24 Semi Hollow with the black satin pattern thin neck and it's great! I also have a PRS S2 Vela Semi Hollow I recently bought and it might be the hidden gem in the entire PRS lineup. It has the Narrowfield pickup in the neck and hotter humbucker in the bridge for some heavier stuff. Great all rounder guitar, and the Pattern Regular neck plays great 👍
@@JTB-- I own a Vela as well but with the older d-style pickup in the neck. Such a great guitar and unbelievably light. Have you played any core models?
@@Sick_Strings01 Yeah I love the light weight of the Vela Semi Hollow and it is surprisingly loud unplugged if you want to just noodle on the couch with it. I have a Custom 24 Piezo that I got for a good deal on Reverb. Otherwise I'd be fine staying in the CE24 range. But I wanted a PRS Piezo to use with 2 Amps and to use with an effects processor/modelor where I use both inputs to create some really wild sounds and patches with Reverbs and Delays. It's fun. Like a lot of my guitars and gear the Piezo falls into that category of "I don't need it, But I still WANT IT!!
@@JTB-- I think all of us get that G.A.S. From time to time! I really need to try something with a piezo in it for sure!
How many guitars do you have in your permanent collection?
I wish there was such a thing as “permanent” for me. LOL, there are a few that I will never let go of. My Yamaha LJ6, Squier CV Jazzmaster, PRS S2 Vela, Gibson Les Paul Classic Antique, Fender American Vintage 2 Strat, PRS SIlver Sky SE w/custom finish, PRS SE 245 w/P-90s, 2 PRS CE 24’s one of them semi hollow, Taylor 224ce Koa, and my Taylor 214e SB. All the others can come and go. What about you?
I still play my prs se singlecut and it has remained my favorite despite all the new models
I totally get it. Once you find something so comfortable or it just has that certain sound its hard to get away from it. I found myself going back to the PRS SE 245 with P90s all the time. It just has that edge I love with distortion and the warmth as well. Thanks for watching!
Maybe it’s just the microphone quality, but I’m not hearing a whole lot of low end response. Lots of mid-high end sparkle. Which is not a bad thing, still anaazimg sounding guitar.
I have since improved my microphone set-up. I will be doing some more acoustic guitar review here soon so let me know what you think after those. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Taylor guitar always lack the low end response, they’re always thin and and bright
Neither is better. Only more bad.
These are solid back and sides. Not laminated.
The top is solid spruce, the back and sides are rosewood laminate. You don’t get full solid wood until you move up to the 16 series unfortunately. That be it said, on resale sites you can find the solid versions for much cheaper almost all the time. Thanks for watching!
@Sick_Strings01 oh its an LL6, sorry, you are right it's the LL16 that has all solid woods. 👍
@@jobcentrepuss7545 no biggie, just glad you watched. Do you own any of the L series guitars?
@@Sick_Strings01 LL16. Rosewood b&s
I owned a LS16 for a little while as well as an LLX16 which had built electronics. It sounded great but I’ve found for me I prefer something smaller bodied. I’m not a big dude so dreads or bigger make me look like a child behind them! 😂
PRS S2 custom 24 had mine for a few years, it can party and play heavy metal on Saturday, and play clean and look nice on Sunday Morning.
@@BadApex solid choice for sure and very versatile. Thanks for watching!
I think a better way to frame the question is this. Say you have an overseas gig. And you know that if you bring a single guitar gig bag, you can get it on the plane. Whats the single guitar you're bringing on your gig? For me its a fender acoustisonic (telecaster cause thats the one i know) having played on everything from light fingerpicking acoustic peices to true "heavy metal thunder" classic rock its done the job. And though i prefer to run it through an amp and my small pedal board when doing primarily electric guitsr stuff it, can still go direct to the board and still have "get the job done" electric sounds if yhe set calls for it.
I’ll be honest, I never one time considered the acoustisonic as an option. I haven’t played one since they brought them back out. I love to hear something different though! Obviously you have experienced this first hand so I really appreciate your take on it! Thanks and hopefully we can all learn more from your experience in the future.
The Silver Sky sounded so distorted
When I shot this video I didn’t realize that the microphone from the camera itself was being used instead of the better quality rode mic. Lesson learned. Also the Silver Sky I own is a refin so the pickup height is a little higher than normal so the volume level is higher too. Thanks for watching!

Hi, is it possible to put strings to tune in Nashville tune ?
@@doume116 take a look right here. The people at Sweetwater did exactly that! ua-cam.com/video/PdU0ViBlw2M/v-deo.htmlsi=qb9dqiph2FSxjwPa
Trick question. The correct answer is: none of them.
Respectfully, someone’s choice of guitar is very subjective. We all have personal preferences on many different levels. This video was just intended to see what people thought was the “best” of some of the most relevant/recent models of PRS SE guitars. There is no way I could include EVERY model as the line is huge!
@@Sick_Strings01 I think you missed my humor and me expressing my opinion that I don't care for PRS guitars. The joke was that none of them are the best PRS SE guitar, because none of them are best. They're all worst.
@@iancurrie8844 lol, oh I got it alright. Just a question for you though, why would you come into the comments on a video like this one to say something like that? It does nothing to add to the conversation that is obviously directed at those that like PRS guitars.
@@Sick_Strings01 Well, I used to be a PRS fan which, I suppose, is why the algorithm recommended the video to me. I've owned maybe a dozen of them over the years (maybe more) and just took pictures of my last one in order to sell. I find they're mostly technically good (with some issues!) but that they, essentially, have no soul. I can't really explain it but they're technically fine and just don't get played. God knows I've admired what they've tried to do with them but it's just not clicking for and never has for more than the honeymoon period. Maybe it's the difference between driving along the coast in an old stingray corvette vs doing the same in a tesla. One is technically superior and very advanced but...the experience just isn't the same. That's my experience and perspective on PRS guitars. I think all points of view should be welcome in a discussion. We shouldn't only allow positive comments. Here's one for the algorithm anyway!
That’s an excellent answer! I can totally understand what you are saying there too. I agree that for a while it seemed as though the pickups were the problem for sure! They were “clinical” or “sterile” to my ears. The newest batch of SE’s have changed that for me now. Maybe one last try? Thanks for being civil and contributing!
I believe the silver sky having the tremolo deck raises the volume naturally. But yea I agree: these humbucker pickups can be raised a lot higher than the single coils with less issues
I’m curious, why do you think having the trem deck raises the volume? Certainly the humbuckers will have less noise/hum coming from them.
I know where you are. I’ve been there too
@@bfiume life is so strange and at times, so very difficult. Thank you for your support and I hope to see more comments down the line!
I had a S2 in 2020, I didn’t like it. The parts were cheap for an expensive guitar. And the finish was terrible so I sold it. This year I gave it an other shot with the SE. I love it. Go figure! Also I got a PRS Satin S2 Standard 24 for Christmas. That isn’t going anywhere either?
@@bfiume even with PRS it can be hit or miss!
Apart from unique models like the vela, the s2 line seems redundant. You are just paying for the differential in us vs indonesia/china labor costs. SEs are already extremely high quality and the core models can be bought used at s2 prices. I have 8 ses and 9 cores and never felt compelled to fill that middle gap other than the vela which doesnt exist in either. As a standalone, s2 line is great. It's just that the SE line is too close and usually at a much lower price point.
@@liamartinproductions there has been an update to the S2 line now as they have core electronics and thin skin nitro finishes instead of the poly finishes. PRS listens to its customers and that’s where they are different from all other manufacturers. Thanks for watching as always!
Nice work sir. Own a s2 594 singlecut in dark cherry burst. Still craving for a doublecut in the Se line. 😅
@@adamaday2484 double or single cut are both great guitars for sure. Thanks for watching and subscribe if you haven’t already!
Thanks. This guitar wasnt even on my radar
I love Maroon 5 so it was an easy pickup for me. The biggest decision i had was choosing which color and if I wanted a trem/bigsby version. You should try one out or, even better, try out the Music Man version. It is about as high end as guitars get for not too bad a price. Thanks for watching!
@Sick_Strings01 i have the ebmm jp16 and majesty 7. Great guitats. Wondering if you've tried the sterling versions?
@@liamartinproductions I have been meaning to try a Majesty for quite some time. Music Man and Sterling guitars are not readily available when I look for them. I might have to just order one to finally determine what I think. The JV60 is pretty amazing though so I would imagine other models are quite good too. Thanks again!
The singlecut standard in vintage cherry was my pick of the McCarty .594 models in the SE line. Supposedly the neck pickups are overwound to compinsate for what Paul considered a slightly dull tone, coming out of the singlecut models specifically. I'm gonna switch the pickups around in mine. So the overwound, thus hotter pickup. Is in the bridge position. Should help it balance better in the middle position.
@@andrewbecker3700 I would be afraid that moving it to the bridge might make it sound too trebly. Have you tried just raising the pickup a little bit? Just a suggestion. Glad you are enjoying the singlecut so much. Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 The guitar was never even plugged in as I received it. When I went under the control cavity cover to poke around and check cap values during initial inspection. One of the white coil tap wires going to a push/pull tone pot, crumbled off the terminal with only the slightest harassment. This just reassured what I already knew. Cheap switch and output jack, and the tuners weren't much better. Tore it all out, and upgraded everything except the pickups, obviously. So, yes. I've moved the pickup heights around some already. What I'm trying to explain to you, is that this specific model. Singlecut Standard, which has an all mahogany construction. Paul didn't like the way the standard 58/15 LTe pickup sounded in the neck position of this guitar. So he had them overwind some 58/15's to use specifically in the neck, in an attempt to get some more bite. I'm going back in that guitar to do some other changes with the wiring. So I'm gonna swap the pickups physical position in the guitar, first. To see how it acts? I don't really care about the switching being backwards. If it does what I'm hoping it will, I'll change the wiring, maybe? Ha,ha! Should make all switch positions better balanced, especially middle. The other mod I'm doing, is going back to modern wiring and adding treble bleeds to both volumes. I tried 50's wiring, but with these LT pickups, the taper is wrong because of the added resistance. These LT's need the shortest path possible to the output jack, to keep resistance down. Thanx for the reply, but it's all good buddy! Everything will get sorted on that guitar eventually. Right now it's fine the way it is. And is already way, way better than how I received it. It's just the reality of having very low output pickups. They do different things.
@@andrewbecker3700 I can’t agree more as far as adding the treble bleeds. That mod alone is totally worth it! Thanks for your support and good luck with all that modding!
Thanks for a really informative video. I thought the sound was very good all round !

The 2019 PRS SE Custom 24 Roasted Maple. Only 2,200 made for the US market as a limited edition run. I bought one in Trampas Green and it was built in South Korea.

How do beginners begin!? Should I enroll and pay for lessons? I have this model and have been wanting to learn Guitar for years. But don’t know where to start. It’s frustrating 😢
@@alonzoweaver7948 I was inspired to play by watching youth leaders lead worship and they showed me one or two things/a song. After that I was on my own for a few years. I didn’t progress much until I started playing with friends who were at the same level that I was. That helped me a lot and then it just stuck. The thing I would suggest is find a particular song you want to learn and focus on getting that one song down cold. Focus on the rhythm portion of playing a lot at first, getting the strum pattern down/timing of the song. It will make it sound more accurate and keep you working towards really learning the song. I do wish I knew more theory but for now I would say start there. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you subscribe!

@@christianhertwig1593 it is an interesting thought for sure and other companies have been successful doing that. Epiphone comes to mind with some of their ES models.

@@Sick_Strings01 Hello again. Yes, I'm referring to the little bird they have as a moving logo on the neck of the guitar. Instead of dots or filler bars. Nowadays, I'm sure, the manufacture of extras on the main layer of guitars are done with CNC machines.

@@C354T you never know! I keep up with Facebook marketplace and reverb for deals constantly. I picked up a PRS SE Hollowbody a few years back for $300 off FB marketplace! Keep your eyes open and thanks for watching.
How much does yours weigh and how much do your 594s weigh ?
That DGT had to weigh close to 9 pounds I swear! I borrowed that one so I’m not totally sure on the weight but it was stinking heavy. The 2 McCarty’s weigh 7.4 pounds each. It’s crazy to me how they weigh exactly the same! Thanks for watching!
@@Sick_Strings01 ya that’s a touch heavy , mine is 8.3 pounds and my lightest les paul is 8.5 and I have an original rev start that’s say 8,2 but a 594 at 7.4 pounds is really good … from what I know David G likes his close to 7 pounds but the USA ones so ya 9 pounds is the high end for sure .. especially since body shape is same for 594 and the dgt
@@bobbyarthur-yf3yf it has to be the construction/wood that’s used causing the weight discrepancy. Like I’ve said before, I prefer a lighter guitar but this one is comfortable while seated and well balanced standing.
I need a PRS in my life
@@SearchingForTone they are extremely well made guitars so I don’t think you will be disappointed at all. Which one were you thinking you would go with?
@@Sick_Strings01 McCarty 594 for sure
