Duncan Boyle Shhhhh!!! Don’t tell anyone that tone is in the hands-can’t sell gear that way. Well, as much gear... I’d still buy stuff I don’t really need.
Brian’s demos are the reason I just bought my first PRS , he explains every option and tone available and plays it clean so you can here the guitar, not just a cranked amp and distortion!
I became the proud player of a Paul Reed Smith with the Standard 24 Satin. When I got a Gibson Les Paul Classic I had to take it to the shop the same week to get the nut fixed. The PRS has been good stock from the very beginning. Nut is cut perfectly. Feels great to play. Sounds great in single coil and humbucker mode.
These are starting to crop up on the second-hand market here in the UK and are just about the best bang for buck you can possibly imagine. I have one their 2003 SE Soapbar single cut, which is almost flawless and I'm seriously thinking about selling it and using the wedge to buy an SE Paul's guitar. The Soapbar is simple, so well-made & so easy to play but the Paul's guitar has got just about *everything* - bling, style, tons of sounds and... those birds!! A once-in-a-lifetime solid investment. Nice!
PRS, that’s the best thing I have seen from you in a while in spite of your release of the several semi hollows, and new versions of SE guitars etc over the last couple of years. Great guitars of course. This is a unique model, using great new to SE features and I think it sounds better than most guitars at the price. I am impressed and I can’t wait to try one in the store!
I'm going to comment because of all the Epiphone comments on here. I was always a Gibson and nothing else guy. Hated Fender anything and PRS was a guitar that rich guys bought to put on a wall to show off. After having nothing but Gibsons for years and getting aggravated at their QC issues, I started buying the high end Epiphones like the Tribute Plus and Custom Pro's. Ended up with 5 different Epiphones, all but one required me to do a fret level and full set up to get them right. After that, they are great guitars. Picked up a Fender Telecaster as a joke one day and fell in love with it. Thought I would be adding some Fenders to my collection until I tried a PRS. It was the introductory model, Standard SE 24 for $500 brand new. It was perfect right out of the box. For once I didn't have to do anything but plug and play my new guitar. It was less expensive than any of my Epiphones and feels better to me. I liked it so much when I saw the Custom SE 24 Laurel Burl I had to pick one up. Same thing, perfect out of the box. While it was $899, I got Sam Ash to price match an ad I found from proaudiostar.com and got it for only $549! Still less expensive than any of my Epiphones and not only does it smoke every one of them, in my opinion, it is one of the best looking guitars I have ever seen. Absolutely beautiful! Ever since, I've been hooked on PRS and nothing else. Still play all my guitars but the PRS's are definitely my go to guitars now. Added a Custom 24 USA recently and again, perfect out of the box. Fortunately I do repairs and set ups for a living so getting Epiphones right wasn't a big deal, but the care that PRS puts into even their introductory models has taken my business from everyone else. I'm not knocking Epiphone, i still think they make great guitars after a little work, but why they dont put a bit more effort into something as important as good fretwork I'll never know. I just cant see buying another one when i know the work I'll have to do and could get a PRS for around the same price or less that is a better guitar than I could make any Epiphone, without the extra work. I feel bad for people who have trouble saving up for a guitar that don't know how to do fret levels or set ups, buy an Epiphone and end up dealing with fret buzz until they save up $150 to get the frets leveled and the guitar set up properly. Ever notice Epiphones have really high action in the stores? Their counting on people buying them thinking "I'll just lower the bridge when I get home". Then you do and find out it buzzes all over the place. I cant be the only one to have this problem either. After 5 in two years, and the high frets in pretty much all the same spots, it's a manufacturing flaw in my opinion. If they sort it out, I would consider another one at some point. Until then I'll stick with PRS. Almost half the business in my store are Epiphones getting upgrades or fret levels and set ups. Just my opinions, but I believe they are backed up by facts from my own experience to my customers experiences.
Is there any plan to build an SE Sliver Sky?@@prsguitars This Paul's guitar is on my shopping list when it arrives in Australia. It's a beautiful looking and sounding instrument.
Looking good? All SE, student addition, made in Indonesia. VERY cheap layer of Veneer. Sub standard electronic parts. No? Comparo the 3k to the SE. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Disapponted. No can do PRS. Wanted to though. But they look great.
I've wanted a PRS for a long while. I play an old Johnson acoustic. I love it but, not quite like an electric. Before 2Oct16 I had some money saved back for PRS, until i was hit by a Ford escape from behind riding my bicycle 02oct16 at 50mph, hit and run, never caught. Caught on 2 security cameras in front of a business. I went into windshield head first and over luggage rack and slammed flat on my back. 16 staples in head and b.p.p.v. Neck, lower back, hips, bowel pains. Lost my employment income and savings etc. I play everyday. I wouldn't know what to do without. I can't afford one but, hopefully someday. Thanks for sharing, i enjoy these videos UA-cam sent me. I subbed. "Music is higher revelation than all wisdom & philosophy. "-Ludwig Van Beethoven
In love with mine. Had a Core Paul’s w/trem, it was excellent but didn’t do it for me at all and I didn’t like the look of the small pickups plus the fact I couldn’t swap them easily. Honestly, my SE is absolutely as well built- the details might actually be better- and sounds not only as good, but to me, better than the Core USA one did. As I say in my demo, Paul is doing something very right because it all starts at the top, in Maryland, and feeds all the way to Indonesia. Very, very well done.
I have an old SE that I still love and made sone upgrades to (all USA prs parts) but i get more jealous every year at these new SE's. These are amazing.
New for 2022.... Se Paul's Guitar in Eriza Verde. The very best value in the se line coupled with a wildly popular finish would be a home run, and a dream come true!!!!!
I've listened to a lot of Paul's Guitar clips, and this SE one sounds better to me than the real deal to me. I've never been into the clips of Paul's Guitar, but I really like this tone.
Man Bryan’s playing is so fantastic! Everything is so open and light sounding! Sweet guitar! That’s one I’ve been hoping would come out as an SE model. Now just waiting to see if we get some special editions with exotic tops in the future ;)
I would love to have this! Another thing I would like to see is an SE Mcartty 594 Double Cut! Just because not all of us can afford $3,600 on it, and it is one of my favorite designs.
lol I guess we can all dream. I think if they were to do an SE version of that great guitar its not going to be for at least 5 years I think. The Pauls guitar was introduced in 2013 and is only now getting an SE version.
what the goodness is this ?? a perfect machine...I heard an old Gretsch...a finest strat..a little of Tele..a Lucille Gibson...a standard les Paul...and above all the famous Brian May Red special a tone I was looking for for too long...in one test video of one single instrument..is it real??? if so..I found my ultimate machine.. i've never tried PRS guitars...and I love comfortable neck with a very low action...is this in that fashion??? this is a real multieffect Instrument. Thanks Mr Paul...you're a Gentleman of taste.
I'm an American living in Germany and a traveling musician. My first introduction to a PRS was a couple of recent purchases due to the CITES crap we have to deal with. A Stealth gray/black Zach Myers 2018 model, because of the ebony fretboard. And a SE T60E acoustic, ebony fretboard and bridge. So I know you guys can do it. otherwise when I travel I'm stuck with maple Strats. If you can do ebony on these, I;ll take two. One blue and one yellow!! Not kidding at all. I nearly got my $1500 Takamine acoustic siezed in Berlin, because I had stayed an extra 3 weeks in the US at home with family. My travel cert had expired. Going into the US nobody gives a crap. US passport and a guitar case, no one has asked me for documents. It's a 2012 50th anniversary model MIJ. I bought it in the US in 2012. It was part of my household goods shipped here in 2014 and on the Customs forms. It was properly registered in 2017 on time. I got a travel cert to take it out of the EU when I left. And still almost lost it coming back into Germany. CITES is no joke and not going away. Builders need to start dealing with alternatives. I have a G&L Comanche with so called Brazilian Cherry fretboard. It's not from Brazil, and its not Cherry. It's Locust. It's extremely black, S type sort of with 3 Z coils. But Customs guys somehow think they are experts on wood now. So it's another guitar I don't take out of the country until I'm ready to leave permanently. Freaking German customs had to call G&L to confirm it wasn't rosewood before they would release to me my own guitar, that I had also bought in the US, had on my customs list in household goods, back in 2014. Since it isn't rosewood, I didn't register it. Customs freaked out, and God only knows what they would have done if they couldn't get in touch with G&L? Probably seized and destroyed. Seriously guys. Look for alternatives that don't look like rosewood. I know ebony likes to chip out and is hard on the tools. But for a really great playing and sounding guitar, that holds up to the rigors of airline monkeys. It's worth it to us. Bob in Germany
Love Germany but geez not sure how people allow their Government to be so intrusive. Haven’t they since exempted Instument from cites (it is that just the USA)?
Just based on the functionality of this SE, it's a logical choice for any producer. Aesthetically, it's almost too pretty to hide away in a studio..a satin or matte finish and a bare finish neck would make this a PRS Studio Edition (ad libbed by me) 😉 #prsstudioedition
Love my SE Pauls... just wish shipped QA had been a bit more particular. Had to spend $$ to get it properly setup out the box - haven't had to do that since I stopped getting Gibson branded guitars...
Purchased the Amber with tobacco, got it in the mail and was I like: was this really inspected? Extremely High action, the pickups where like 1/4 inch from touching the strings, had some grime on them. Should have purchased the American SE for quality and dished out the extra $600. Before I can rate the sound I will have to adjust he SE to the specs on PRS to change the lack of attention it was shipped with.
I know, I have a 2012 Gibson Reissue '61 SG, and a few months later in 2012 I bought my first PRS, the 2012 SE Santana. The Santana plays much nicer, and no neck dive. I now own several SEs, a 2013 408, and an S2 Semi Hollow Body. The SG cannot touch any of them.
Salvador PRS makes their own pickups in house and generally don’t use third party manufacturers. There are some exceptions, of course. The SE line is the same way, they’re just built overseas. Much better quality than an Epiphone.
Well... Looks like Cort from Indonesia is taking power ! Ibanez Premium are done there, so it might be good. With such a price, I expected this SE to be made by WMI in South Korea...
The guitar sounds amazing. Are these regular sized humbuckers or they are special in some way. I really like the pickup mount rings, they really stand out and make the guitar look amazing.
First of all, and I mean this in a good way, Brian may not be the best yardstick to judge any guitar by. He makes anything sound good! Anyway, my one issue with the SE Paul would be the tuners, but I would think you could put PRS locking tunes in, right? I assume at least one set would be a drop in replacement. That said, I owned an S2 Mira semi hollow for some time before I had to sell it for various reasons, and I can't say enough good things about it. But I wished for a fatter neck, which I believe this one has. My wish list for this would be, locking tuners and semi hollow, but I can live with the solid body.....if I can change the tuners.
Can't understand why they went to so much effort to make it similar to its Core model (down to brass inserts in the bridge) but went and put vintage style tuners on it! Where did that come from?
Torn between this and the SE Custom 24-08. I know for a fact that in the long run, I'll own both of them. But which one should I buy first? I'm truly torn.
PRS, hopefully with all respect👈🏼I would love to purchase ‘tis particular Paul’s Guitar Red PRS SE model on a Lefty! I sure hope us Leftys can have an opportunity to own ‘tis special guitar soon, if not now maybe for SummerNamm2019! Keep On Rockin’!
Trying to decide between this and the SE CUSTOM 24. Both offer the faded blue. I cannot try one locally as no stock, so I need to place an order. I hear folks shying away from the wide fat neck design. I look at specs and it looks like there is only 1.5mm difference in thickness compared to wide thin. Is it really a deal breaker? Who might find the wide fat a problem? I am new to guitar and gave a Gretsch streamliner with a thin U. I am not sure what to expect. Thanks
The only feature that I didn't care for is the fat wide neck. I'm sure I could get used to it though. Love the SE PRS guitars. I've owned top shelf big 3 guitars. And many many others. I love my old PRS SE Standard 24. Of course I up graded the electronics and hardware but the wood and neck are superb.
@@jldkrank My advice is to go for an S2 series Mira for example. Yes they cost a bit more, but they are so worth it! I Have both SE that i did buy first, but when i did buy my Mira, man you really can feel the diff when playing, and the sound from it is so good, not that SE is bad, but you cant go around it, S2 series are better, and also S2 series are more affordable than their high end flag models. With s2 Mira you also get lockable tuners. My S2 Mira have dots inlay, but it is optional if you rather want birds inlay. But my PRS SE is an older one, so best is to test them out for your self, that way you can't go wrong hopefully, personal preferences you know and all that.
@@jldkrank Well than do that instead, my saying was not written in stone : ) Test them out and go for the one you love. I think a lot has happen with prices on models since i bought my guitars. Some were not even made a couple of years ago. I was only trying to help, not fool you.
@@Melkisedek777 my point is, if this is close enough to the USA Paul's I'd get it. I want a paul's, not a mira. I've owned miras and they're great but it would be awesome to hear these A/B'd
Hey Paul I had just seen the video on your se limited roasted maple 24’s.. I was wondering if we might be seeing these in a solid body 22 double cutaway Or even a 245 version?... At least the solid body 22.. We haven’t seen many of those in the se line for a while.😎
Great idea to offer this as part of the SE line! I just can't seem to get past the tone. The mahogany just turns me off. I wish you'd bring back a Swamp Ash Special or something.
Bryan Ewald could play anything and I’d want to buy it. The guy has tone in his fingers!! Mega cool guitar too.
Duncan Boyle Shhhhh!!!
Don’t tell anyone that tone is in the hands-can’t sell gear that way.
Well, as much gear...
I’d still buy stuff I don’t really need.
Noticed the updated carve right away. Definite improvement.
Yes maybe one day they'll be able to match the full carve top of a lower end 500 dollar guitar lol.
And PRS does it again! Thank you for bringing one of your flagship to more affordable levels!
Brian’s demos are the reason I just bought my first PRS , he explains every option and tone available and plays it clean so you can here the guitar, not just a cranked amp and distortion!
Outstanding! I'm starting to become a believer that you can have the best of both worlds. Those single coil tones are unmatched. Great guitar!
I became the proud player of a Paul Reed Smith with the Standard 24 Satin. When I got a Gibson Les Paul Classic I had to take it to the shop the same week to get the nut fixed. The PRS has been good stock from the very beginning. Nut is cut perfectly. Feels great to play. Sounds great in single coil and humbucker mode.
Ok but replacing a stock nut is not that big of a deal
Joel Middaugh Agreed. But for a guitar that was 2 grand brand new and had to be repaired in less than a week, that’s a big deal do me.
These are starting to crop up on the second-hand market here in the UK and are just about the best bang for buck you can possibly imagine. I have one their 2003 SE Soapbar single cut, which is almost flawless and I'm seriously thinking about selling it and using the wedge to buy an SE Paul's guitar. The Soapbar is simple, so well-made & so easy to play but the Paul's guitar has got just about *everything* - bling, style, tons of sounds and... those birds!! A once-in-a-lifetime solid investment. Nice!
This guitar has the most beautiful and organic/natural sound what i ever heard.
Incredible looking and the sounds of this guitar is priceless.
Great guitar,great tone, plays like a dream, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

I don't get how people will down-vote either. It looks and sounds great!
We are always trying to update and improve to bring you the best guitars for the money.
My se custom 24 is amazing. I will probably buy one of these too
Is there any plan to build an SE Sliver Sky?@@prsguitars This Paul's guitar is on my shopping list when it arrives in Australia. It's a beautiful looking and sounding instrument.

That's the tastiest looking and sounding PRS SE ever in my book. Fitting that it's Paul's really!
In love with mine. Had a Core Paul’s w/trem, it was excellent but didn’t do it for me at all and I didn’t like the look of the small pickups plus the fact I couldn’t swap them easily.

Played one yesterday, shocked at how good it was...
I have one just like yours and I can’t put it down. PRS knocked it out of the park with this one. For the money you can’t beat it.
You do A Great job Bryan, Thank You
Thanks for the video. One of the best gear reviews I've ever seen. Superb playing. I can hear the complexity of the tones.
I wish that PRS would offer those birds with more SE models. I love my SE CU24 and would have loved to have had them.
A clean sound demo, well done, show's all the tones.
I have an old SE that I still love and made sone upgrades to (all USA prs parts) but i get more jealous every year at these new SE's. These are amazing.

I'm super generalizing, but Paul's Guitar sounds more like EMG's to me, whereas the SE here sounds more like Dimarzios.
Love mine! Wated for ages for stock to come to the UK but was definitely worth the wait!
I wish this available left handed. A very versatile and great sounding instrument
I fucking love Bryan’s playing
Man Bryan’s playing is so fantastic! Everything is so open and light sounding! Sweet guitar! That’s one I’ve been hoping would come out as an SE model. Now just waiting to see if we get some special editions with exotic tops in the future ;)
Love how you used a lot of the chords Paul uses. Brighter then the core but still sounds awesome
PRS is definitely one of the few brands to try to fit the most bang for the buck in import models.
I would love to have this! Another thing I would like to see is an SE Mcartty 594 Double Cut! Just because not all of us can afford $3,600 on it, and it is one of my favorite designs.
Chris’ Music Corner my thoughts exactly!
lol I guess we can all dream. I think if they were to do an SE version of that great guitar its not going to be for at least 5 years I think. The Pauls guitar was introduced in 2013 and is only now getting an SE version.
Yes, Please 😇😇😇
I've got a green one.
Love it.
Looks great in this color....sounds mighty fine. Personally I would prefer to have neck binding on this model.
6 months and this will be mine . Just bought a T50E already have a standard 24. looking forward to making more music
Best guitar I’ve owned ❤️🔥👍🏽
what the goodness is this ?? a perfect machine...I heard an old Gretsch...a finest strat..a little of Tele..a Lucille Gibson...a standard les Paul...and above all the famous Brian May Red special a tone I was looking for for too long...in one test video of one single instrument..is it real??? if so..I found my ultimate machine..
i've never tried PRS guitars...and I love comfortable neck with a very low action...is this in that fashion???
this is a real multieffect Instrument. Thanks Mr Paul...you're a Gentleman of taste.
by the way...watching the video for the third time...a black shiny headstock would give a perfect look for me.

Wow, can't wait to try/play one
Count me in. That aqua! SE’s have quickly become my favorite guitars.

Still hoping for a SE Super Eagle, but this is definetly a right step. Looks and sounds good 🤙
Sounds fantastic. I think it sounds probably better than the high-end one.?
Love my SE Pauls... just wish shipped QA had been a bit more particular. Had to spend $$ to get it properly setup out the box - haven't had to do that since I stopped getting Gibson branded guitars...
Sounds great!
Just bought this one and it is a masterpiece of a guitar. First prs
how much ? $$
@@alfredooliva5175 a little over $1000
Thanks for finger picking... as that is partially what I want to do with this guitar!
Definitely impressed PRS
would definitely buy one if there were less vibrant an aggressive colors on offer. the only thing that always turns me off the PRS SEs are the colors.
I want it... it sounds incredible.
Purchased the Amber with tobacco, got it in the mail and was I like: was this really inspected?

How anyone can say they prefer Gibson to PRS, I will never know
I know, I have a 2012 Gibson Reissue '61 SG, and a few months later in 2012 I bought my first PRS, the 2012 SE Santana.
The Santana plays much nicer, and no neck dive.
I now own several SEs, a 2013 408, and an S2 Semi Hollow Body.
The SG cannot touch any of them.
When their lower end is double the price of gibsons lower end and at least epiphone puts brand named pickups in their guitars, compared to prs se.
Salvador PRS makes their own pickups in house and generally don’t use third party manufacturers. There are some exceptions, of course. The SE line is the same way, they’re just built overseas. Much better quality than an Epiphone.
@@jacoobyslaps talk about quality at that price range might as well buy a music man
Salvador Where are you finding a brand new Music Man for $1000?
Nice to see the SE get some new flavors
Well... Looks like Cort from Indonesia is taking power !
Ibanez Premium are done there, so it might be good.
With such a price, I expected this SE to be made by WMI in South Korea...
The guitar sounds amazing. Are these regular sized humbuckers or they are special in some way. I really like the pickup mount rings, they really stand out and make the guitar look amazing.
First of all, and I mean this in a good way, Brian may not be the best yardstick to judge any guitar by. He makes anything sound good!
Anyway, my one issue with the SE Paul would be the tuners, but I would think you could put PRS locking tunes in, right? I assume at least one set would be a drop in replacement. That said, I owned an S2 Mira semi hollow for some time before I had to sell it for various reasons, and I can't say enough good things about it. But I wished for a fatter neck, which I believe this one has.
My wish list for this would be, locking tuners and semi hollow, but I can live with the solid body.....if I can change the tuners.
I got mine with Mann Made locking tuners designed for the guitar... well worth the money.
Insane, cant wait to get one ^^
Looks and sounds cool, I'm pretty sure about QC as well. What about the weight...??
My God! I NEED THIS GUITAR!
Seems to be a fantastic guitar!
You Guys are Crazy This se Looks like a Core prs
Except it doesn't, but I digress
@@dainiusvysniauskas2049hi Dainius! 😊
@@CoryMura hallo 😀
Very nice
oh wow , very cool guitar
A 24-08 SE would be very tempting...
Dam I wish this red was still available. Love my amber one though. But I’m a red guy all day long
Can't understand why they went to so much effort to make it similar to its Core model (down to brass inserts in the bridge) but went and put vintage style tuners on it! Where did that come from?
Not sure either, but they hold well. I'm curious if I can change the tuner pegs or if they are glued on? I'm gonna call Paul tomorrow 🤣🤣
I would like t see a 5 watts combo made by prs, btw thanks for great gear that you guys gave me
probably definitely going to have to get this in aqua
Torn between this and the SE Custom 24-08. I know for a fact that in the long run, I'll own both of them. But which one should I buy first? I'm truly torn.
I've been waiting on my charcoal burst since the summer. On back order. Will be here Monday
What did you think? I just bought a used charcoal burst one 😬 it’s on the way
I am wondering what amp is Bryan using that gives that sweet bassy sound or is it the guitar 🤔
Looks like I'm getting another SE.
Love the look...need more hardtails...not sure about the pickups...are they standard size humbuckers? Able to be swapped out for 57/08s?
PRS, hopefully with all respect👈🏼I would love to purchase ‘tis particular Paul’s Guitar Red PRS SE model on a Lefty! I sure hope us Leftys can have an opportunity to own ‘tis special guitar soon, if not now maybe for SummerNamm2019! Keep On Rockin’!
Got an amber coming in two days !!!
Adorable little guitar from an adorable little guitar maker.
Does he remind anyone else of Chris Shiflett from Foo Fighters? lol
Nice sounding guitar.
Waiting since forever to get it and ofcourse how can i get it when most of the prs are never available in india 😐
I love mine in Trampas Green, everyone else loving their's?!
Where did you get it? I noticed Sweetwater doesn't have trampas or charcoal versions...
Mine has the abalone birds but I see them with a different design on the neck in white. Did they change them and if so when?
You listened to a lot of Mark Knofler as a youngin didn't ya?
It shows.
Lovely - very unique, and the best 'single coil' sounds I've heard in a humbucker guitar. I'll take one in tortoiseshell. (please!) :)
Just got one with a darker Aqua tops from Sweetwater
Looks awesome, wish it shown through a cheaper (affordable) amp
The Sonzera 50 Watt head is $799
Trying to decide between this and the SE CUSTOM 24. Both offer the faded blue. I cannot try one locally as no stock, so I need to place an order. I hear folks shying away from the wide fat neck design. I look at specs and it looks like there is only 1.5mm difference in thickness compared to wide thin. Is it really a deal breaker? Who might find the wide fat a problem? I am new to guitar and gave a Gretsch streamliner with a thin U. I am not sure what to expect. Thanks
The only feature that I didn't care for is the fat wide neck. I'm sure I could get used to it though. Love the SE PRS guitars. I've owned top shelf big 3 guitars. And many many others. I love my old PRS SE Standard 24. Of course I up graded the electronics and hardware but the wood and neck are superb.
Can you do an A/B with this and the core Paul's guitar?
@Tom Angus probably, but if the tone is close enough, I'd spring for an SE for the first time in my prs owning life.
@@jldkrank My advice is to go for an S2 series Mira for example. Yes they cost a bit more, but they are so worth it! I Have both SE that i did buy first, but when i did buy my Mira, man you really can feel the diff when playing, and the sound from it is so good, not that SE is bad, but you cant go around it, S2 series are better, and also S2 series are more affordable than their high end flag models. With s2 Mira you also get lockable tuners. My S2 Mira have dots inlay, but it is optional if you rather want birds inlay. But my PRS SE is an older one, so best is to test them out for your self, that way you can't go wrong hopefully, personal preferences you know and all that.
@@Melkisedek777 but I can get a core mira for the same price!
@@jldkrank Well than do that instead, my saying was not written in stone : ) Test them out and go for the one you love. I think a lot has happen with prices on models since i bought my guitars. Some were not even made a couple of years ago. I was only trying to help, not fool you.
@@Melkisedek777 my point is, if this is close enough to the USA Paul's I'd get it. I want a paul's, not a mira. I've owned miras and they're great but it would be awesome to hear these A/B'd
i am geting one in june :~)
Hey Paul I had just seen the video on your se limited roasted maple 24’s..
I was wondering if we might be seeing these in a solid body 22 double cutaway
Or even a 245 version?...
At least the solid body 22..
We haven’t seen many of those in the se line for a while.😎
Hmmm... You'll just have to wait and see!
I noticed Indonesia as the country of manufacture. Is this a standard?
When is this going to be available?
How can you buy a better guitar for the price? You can't, I'm buying an aqua one in a few weeks and cannot freaking wait 🤟😁
How’d it turn out? I’m skeptical on bridges that can’t be intonated.
Great idea to offer this as part of the SE line! I just can't seem to get past the tone. The mahogany just turns me off. I wish you'd bring back a Swamp Ash Special or something.
Wow...Someone looks just like a young George Carlin ...and he can play great...and this is no joke ! 😎🎸
