I purchased one, and the short story is: Get One. Covers a lot of ground in one instrument sonically, plays like an absolute dream.
Mine is on order. Currently stock is hard to get ahold of so I've got to wait 3 months. I think I've watched every video going
So I've heard mixed reviews on these pickups, some say they sound amazing clean but not great for high gain.
Can anyone confirm? I'm looking at this guitar and a Kramer that has a JB/Jazz set.
Thnx😎
@@beaglegod1 I know this was a while ago, but if you're still wondering if it can do metal, the short answer is yes; go check out Agufish channel. He does awesome review from a Metal perspective.
Det stämmer. Jag fick min igår. En fantastisk bra gitarr.
Crazy build quality eh?! I don't get how PRS does it!
8:44 is the epitome of KYG: transparency to show an issue and then Phil just fixes it and moves on. He really knows his stuff, man. I want Phil on my side when the "guitar zombies" arrive!
Couldn’t agree more. So refreshing to see someone give a well rounded full review.
Agreed. nice that he disclosed it and showed that in some cases these issues can easily be rectified simply without a screaming fit at the dealer about sending a broken guitar. Should it have worked properly out of the box? Sure, but life is often not perfect. Looks and sounds like a great guitar.
Bought one of these bad boys about 4 months ago. Or should I say pre-ordered, because it was out of stock. Still waiting on it to come to the U.S. ! Really? People in Califonicatia need to get back to work so I can get my guitar!!!
That looks like an A+ example. The veneer looks way better than most, it has depth and the mahogany is flamed as well. That’s a killer SE
%100. The Veneers on the SE's are hit or miss. Some are bland and plain w/little flame and some are like a 10-TOP. If you can pick/choose your axe - you'll be a winner
@@vincebauerle5942 and then there is mine heavyly flamed on th outside and bottom ans almost no flame on the rest
@@Kreioftze Yeah i have 1 or 2 like that also. I try to pick them out where I can. Its worth the extra couple bucks to $$ them from a place where you can actually choose the one you want. Otherwise its a total crap-shoot
@@vincebauerle5942 Agreed. Some veneers are legit. I really think they look fantastic when you get a great one. Definitely better than Phil's 10-TOP, which is sort of a 7-TOP IMO lol.
I must've got lucky because mine looks alot like his
I wasn't even really looking for another guitar but I couldn't resist and just ordered one.
Gray i Just ordered the SE FLOYD.
@@Rob-qr2kn Nice!
@@Rob-qr2kn from where did you buy it? i want to buy one from sweetwater, i live outside the US and i want to know should i pre-order one from sweetwater because there is none right now or should i buy one when it is available?
@@frs7323 I’d order and get on the list. These are very hard to get in stock these days with supply chain issues.
Possibly one of the best guitar + gear reviewers. Honest, straightforward, no side comments that distract the listener/viewer. Subbed!
"IS" the best in my opinion!
This guitar looks absolutely interesting spec wise. I actually appreciate it came with that little problem on the neck pickup. If it happened to me, i would have been extremely dissappointed thinking i have to send it back, instead of considering there was such an easy fix.
My Standard SE had a weird issue where both the pickups sounded like the tone was all the way down all the time, I got a simple 80 dollar fix for it but it was a bit annoying
Seriously
Those are incredible features for the money. PRS/Cort truly bring some of the best value to had in the guitar market.
Phil definitely got sent a prime example with this one..
@@xdoctorblindx Tells you everything you need to know about Sweetwater's 55 point inspection!! If you order from Sweetwater you might wanna bring that bit of info to their attention!
@@xdoctorblindx he is specifically talking about the flame top here. You could get a custom shop guitar that needs some contact cleaner on a switch, it’s not a big deal.
I have a SE Zach Meyers. My top is probably a 6-7/10. I had an issue with soldering touching the ground, I used an x-acto to push the soldering apart and it worked beautifully.
Bought one, looks just as good if not better than this one. And had not issues with electronics. Love the guitar.
Mine actually showed up just as nice actually
The SE Eriza Verde Custom 24-08: Got one about a week ago. And sadly there are a lot of problems with it. The set up as you said is high. Mine was very high. I could tell something wasn't right with the nut once I tuned it. the B and E strings sounded muted and plinky. So there's that. I should not have a nut problem on a 1000 dollar guitar from PRS. I have and play two Schecter guitars and they both came with no set up problems. Trying to set the height to be more playable only caused more muted and or plinky notes. Plinky as in they are not ringing out the way they should. Took it to a friend and he has the tools to check the neck. And found from the ninth fret up to have unlevel frets. Even without the problems I found the neck to be uncomfortable for me. And the bridge very limiting. The note down rang is usable, but the bend note up range gives a hard crash into the top of the guitar body. If you look for people that play PRS guitars most never have the bar in place. I though it was odd. But now I know why. They are cheap and not much though has gone into making useful trems for the PRS. This is my first so I don't know if all models are like this. I have read so many asking is this model over hyped... my answer is very hyped.
I have owned several SE's and they have always been phenomenal.
Its incredible how much better the clear knobs look vs the amber ones on the SE.
Makes me wonder what other things could make the SE just as handsome.
The ivory tuners make it look more like a core too
Purchased my SE 24 two years ago. Not one single issue. If you want a stay in tune guitar, this is it. The D'Addario NYXL strings on this guitar turn it into a tone monster
Got mine yesterday, awsome. Plays great, sounds great. Eriza Verde really pops. A lot lighter than my Gibson LP. Thanks for the review Phil. it sold me on purchasing it.
I'm always impressed at the quality of what can come out of Cort's factories.
Thanks for putting the conversion mm/inches
My first inclination was to say; Damn I hate green guitars! But the longer I stare at it, it’s growing on me like a fungus.
🤣🤣 I love it
There's no doubt that this guitar sounds good, but it's also clear that you're familiar with it and that you'll be at your best no matter what guitar you use. I was taught that I need to improve my ability before choosing a guitar. Thank you.
This is why I love this channel. He gets a new guitar out of the box and has a problem. Shows us what’s wrong then fixes it. I think some people would freak out than the switch didn’t work. I’m expecting my new PRS SE P20E Thursday. Even though acoustic, still glad I watched this🎸😁. Great job as always Phil👌
I have owned the SE CU24-08 for just over a year now….what a guitar!! I also own 7 cores and the SE gets the most playtime. I don’t know and don’t care what people say about them but mine is up there…a grail level of a guitar! You must try one
I still like yours better Phil. I think they sent you the best SE they had.
I love that coil split feature. It sounds more like a Telecaster than a Telecaster does.
I can't get over how they make such beautiful guitars yet make such impractical choices for locating switches and knobs.
Yeah...Those tiny coil splitting switches look like they're in a very awkward place between the knobs, especially when the whammy bar is attached
Do you guys even play guitar?
Phil didn't look like he was struggling with them.
Ever see a Les Pa or a Gretsch?
Where do you want them, on the headstock?
Dude, that ENGL sounds awesome!
Thank you so much for this video...!!!
I just ordered one of these new PRS SE Custom 24/08 at THOMANN in germany.
It will be my first PRS guitar, I'm really excited...
Will be available/delivered in 2 - 3 weeks!
Hi, wanted to ask, how are you liking the guitar? and how was the packaging and shipping from Thomann?
@@prodbyamrit Hi there! The packaging and shipping was fine, no problems. Yes, I like the guitar and will keep it...I'm happy with it! CHEERS.
Thank You Phillip for the great review. I got with my Sweetwater sales Rep., pulled the trigger on my 1st PRS and love it!!!!
I wish they would do a Purple one. I want a nice purple so badly
BCRich and Jackson did a purple flip-flop years ago. Looked incredible with the curly maple underneath.

They make (or did recently make) an SE Customer 24 in amethyst. Was a really nice guitar.
Yes, but like a purple burst please. Like their 'purple mist' color 🙏
I hear you brother! I had an SE Custom 24 in a purple burst a few years ago and it looked great. I'm looking for another SE now I'm desperate for a purple 24 variant
This was the one I wanted, but it sold the day I went to pick it up :(
Got an SE Standard 24-08 instead!
I never "got" PRS, and these made me a believer! Best split coil tones I have ever heard!
I’m a huge fan if Mr. Smith and his guitars!!!!!
I'm hoping to get an SE custom 24 in a few months. Looking forward to it.
Same here!
Did you get one
I tried one of these SE 24-08 models immediately after trying a normal SE Custom 24 and wow, what a difference in the pickups. These were way hotter and brighter. I liked them much better. And if you like that sound from both pickups in the video, a Schecter Banshee Mach 6 or 7 has the same kind of "swirly" or "watery" sound with the Lundgren pickups, however a Mach costs twice as much as one of these, and for good reason. They're insanely playable and we'll built.
That’s gorgeous. I’d play it every chance I could just to be able to hold it.
That top looks fantastic. Mine is close to this top but I looked at about 100 before finally finding the one I bought. Most that I've seen on Reverb have a very different top and bottom. Many had very distinguishable stripes on bottom but almost no stripes on top.
I bought this same guitar several months back and I absolutely love it. The guitar blew me away for an overseas guitar at that price point. My only issue was a scratchy tone pot that just needed to be cleaned like your selector switch. The fit and finish is immaculate. The only changes I want to make are the PRS locking tuners and maybe replacing the pick ups with the American made 85/15’s that come in the core model.
I was thinking of pulling the trigger on one but saw that those 85/15's are like $500. That with new tuners you are getting close to a used CE off FB marketplace or Craig's List. I do wonder how something other than 85/15's would sound that would be much cheaper...like PAF's or something from Seymour Duncan.
@@MrNighthawk68 right. They are pricey. I have been looking at other pickups as well. Like you said, some PAF’s would probably give me what I am looking for. I just absolutely love the feel of this guitar and have no want to go buy another. I enjoy working on my guitars like that. I tricked out a squire hss when I used to work at a music store back in the early 2000’s. He couldn’t sell real fenders but could order the pickups cheap. Got it all at cost and put together the best playing and sounding strat I have ever touched with an enforcer humbucker, and Eric Clapton vintage noiseless and a Jeff Beck vintage noiseless. That guitar was gold.
Very nice. I wish they put clear knobs on this. Now that I see those knobs I can’t unsee. Ha. That’s an easy fix and I’m impressed by the SE line.
Bought my first PRS a month ago and haven’t been able to put it down! When I hit my first note I felt chills and said WOW!
Wish one?
@@minisurfbanana 10months without an answer, Wow
It's a fantastic guitar for the price. As much as I dig the "Eriza Verde," I think the "Vintage Sunburst" is really classy and looks SO nice on this PRS. Hopefully, everyone gets the green, and I'll be the only one with a sunburst model.
Wow, that engl with the prs sounds fantastic. Nice video.
i gotta say i really prefer the look of the SE over the core model that green is gorgeous
Got mine today, beautiful instrument. My first PRS and I'm blown away.
Thank you for this awesome review! My daughter just ordered one. Your review was a huge benefit in helping her to decide to get this guitar over some others that she was considering. We love your videos and thank you again for all of the work / content you post! Also, just ordered a t-shirt...will send a pick when they arrive.
I had the same problem with my SE 24 right out of the box. My bridge pickup didn’t work. I sent it back. Never thought to spray it.
I just bought a SE Hallow II, a day later they come out with this finish for the SE Custom 24-08. I might have to sell something. This guitar looks incredible!
I think the SE hallow II is the most stunning electric guitar I only wish I could afford it! Do you love it? Congrats
@@aaron22778 it is a great guitar! Wouldn’t change anything on it! I wished it came with n this green!
Those hallow II's are righteous guitars.
I bought one in Eriza Verde a week ago: amazing guitar, so many sounds, the single coils sound very nice (not like real ones but close) miles better than the split in the 85/15s. I tried it back to back with a old 2021 Custom 24 and there was no competition, the 24-08 sounds way better. Then it’s beautifully made, the neck is gorgeous and plays very well out of the box. The only “issue” is that they come with 9-42 instead of 10-46 like core and S2 guitars. Easily fixable with a proper setup and then you’ve got a killer axe!!
And why not pop in some locking tuners while you're making that switch!
@@narq5099 I did it eventually :)
Maple veneer 10, finish 10. Time to trade up and enjoy your "new" guitar!
I have an older se. Custom 24, all gold, all bound, made by schechter in Korea. Love. I think it was a guitar center special.
You made me order one! I hope you're happy with yourself
Mine 35th Aniv SE 24 had the same issue with the blade switch after a week of playing. I found that many SE 24 players were facing this issue. A contact cleaner did the job, but it told me that PRS quality is a myth!
Thanks Phil! The DeOxIt trick fixed the switches on 2 of my PRS’s.
Dear God, I think I have found my perfect guitar. Just getting back into guitar after 10-15 years and was contemplating a Warmoth build due to not being able to find the exact specs and style I wanted with other brands. I have been looking for this EXACT color in an affordable guitar. I have a Wolfgang Standard on the way, but I will be selling some gear to afford this in the next few months. Wow.
I believe the guitar they sent you and other reviewers are the best examples they could get, MOST ARE NOWHERE AS NICE!!!! ,,,,,, my local music shop recently received 5 of these into stock and I was the first person to have the first pick of them,,,, each varied greatly, none were nowhere as nice as yours and 1 in particular had a terrible top .... I would love to post the pictures of them here so people could see them but I dont see anywhere I can do that.... Happy to forward them on..
I just recently purchased the 35 anniversary Custom 24 SE in the blue burst ... Fantastic guitar
I love it, just wish they offered a non zebra pup option, personal preference but i love the tones and color. Nice job as always Phil!
Save the zebras!
Thanks. Nice video. I bought one last night, my first new guitar in years. It’ll be here tomorrow.
I am happy they went to the natural headstock
Like my 35th anniversary se custom 24 with same carve, pickups, and switching. The TCI S pickups are pretty great with lots of usable tones! Also really like the new SE body carve. Looks great and more comfortable than the deep carve on the core. The core looks better but the SE is more comfortable to play. Keep up the great work Phil!
That is one beautiful guitar and sounds amazing.
Kinda get the feeling that Phil will be keeping this one. 😁
I just got a PRS S2 McCarty thinline and have the same neck issue. Still diagnosing the issue. Haven’t tried the deoxit yet. Not sure why... I’ll give it a go - thanks!
That should pretty much always be your very first step diagnosing an issue like that. You saw how simple it was, and it's extremely common. Just good practice to clean those guys up every once in a while anyway.
That Deoxit trick was an awesome tip.
This guitar is sold out is a back order till October is must be a great guitar for your money. I order one from Detroit Guitars they had on coming in till June. I pay already to get it. Can’t wait to play it find the sounds you can get.
Wierdly all my PRS SE's including the 35th Anniversary (which is basically the pre cursor to this version of the 24-08) have had the same problem with the 3 way switch that you faced.
I just assumed the switch had gone bad and didnt bother replacing it as I dont play professionally and could get all three positions to work with a little bit of angle while pressing the switch. Turns out the switch was ok! Thanks for the tip Phil!
Just picked one up yesterday. Loving it.
It's interesting to note that PRS originally released this guitar as the PRS SE 35th Anniversary Custom 24 in 2020. I bought one at the beginning of 2020, specs are identical. Just the colors are different. I prefer my Black-Gold Burst. Great guitar though.
True.
I have the '35th' in the FBB finish. I love it! The 35th has Abalone birds, which looks great, but are hardly visible when you play.
@UCPhzO_XZ6v0IH0ckSvsKO5A No, the 35th Anniversary had the same specs and top carve. Go watch the 35th ann video. I have the guitar, I know what I'm talking about. PRS as a company wouldn't change how a guitar is made in 2020. The 35th Anniversary and the 24-08 are the same minus the abalone inlays. Case closed.
@@kevinogorman7561 agreed,
I had the same issue with my neck pickup. It worked fine at first but after playing it for a while I started having the same issue with it.
I got the aqua color puals SE Saturday. Outstanding but im thing about changing the pickups, not as clear as i like
Got my 24-08 (Eriza Verde). I know it's popular, but I can't really say I'm a fan of the the color. I'm more of a solid color, natural or tobacco burst sort of guy. Generally, I find PRSs to be a little too ornate. Having said that, I am a PRS fanboy (count is at 7) and it's all based on tone and feel. And the 24-08 does not disappoint. Mine is a little heavy at 8lbs 3oz. but it feels and plays great, I like the tones I can get out of it. It's very versatile. I pick it up a lot. The jack came loose pretty quickly on mine (something I also noticed on my Hollowbody SE). Only wish it came with moon-dot inlays, a solid color and clear or chrome knobs.
Damn my prs s2 vela has had that problem with a short intermittently in the pickup switch. It comes and goes. Good to know that cleaner works! Thanks for the tip.
I'd never buy an SE. I saved and saved and saved and bought my custom 24. Never looked back. Guitar for life.
Old video…but…I just grabbed one off Reverb used/mint for $550. Unbelievable deals to be had on these.
I have a PRS SE 35th Anniversary and it is basically the exact same guitar with different colors. Mine has the same exact neck, where the middle is quarter sawn.
That SE is pretty! I also like they put a clear finish on the neck this time
Nice video, thanks! I just picked one of these up. I love it! Well worth the price if you can find one. My local store got in 3. I followed them on Facebook and went in the next day to view. They already sold one, I picked up the 2 and compared them. I chose one and the fellow behind me got the other one! Sweetwater is out for another month or two.
I had a Custom 24 for 22 years and didn't know it had push/pull coil tap until I sold it to a guy on Marketplace. He showed me after he bought it.
Love those split-bridge tones! I wanted one when I saw the PRS reveal video... now I'm drooling. Fortunately I have a bib...
That guitar has tones for days! Wow!
Deoxit is fantastic. Highly recommended.
Never understood why those PRS don't have individual volume pots for those two pickups. Mind-boggling.
I recently considered this guitar as I think the color is fantastic but for the money every single part of it is made in Indonesia/Far East . Pickups, tuners etc that’s what made me choose something different. But the color is superb. But I did buy at distance due to Covid and it’s worth trying one in a shop to assess it . I’m not taking chances with a fairly expensive purchase for me
You may want to consider like a 30th anniversary used, theyre made in Korea and well, they were going for $550-$600 but still think you could find one for around $700 in minty condition. The color choices are limited tho , Ive got the Santana Yellow with a floyd, oh yeah, im glad I own it. And you get the Double bird inlays on the twelve. I would imagine the 2021's will end up dropping in 6-8 months to $800 or less if you keep your eyes open, thats how i got mine, $550 shipped mint!
@@TheTactical6string thanks sounds very nice
I just got one of the Charcoal Cherry Fade Custom 24s and I'm definitely a bit jealous of the new mini switches for the split instead of the push pull.
I know man. I think PRS makes the highest quality mid-range guitars in the world. I have an SE and I don't have any plans to move to a core guitar. It's perfect for what I do (occasionally on stage but mostly at home).
Mine just arrived last night. I'm about to plug it in and tune it up. I have to say it is absolutely beautiful and feels great. Nice weight too. Feels like a feather compared to my 79 Strat.
How was it?
@@johnwelwacnisen948 It plays and sounds wonderful. Right out of the box. I like the setup. I'm very happy with this new guitar. It makes an excellent addition to my collection.
I'm watching this video amd playing the exact guitar. It's amazing get it!
Love the "sweet switches" ,, wish I had those on my 2012 core !!
i like it how maple veneers are pretty but what prs really does it for me is the carving wich just looks sexy wich no se can have since its a veneer
My favorite guitar dream of having one of a top 10
Really Great Demo. Thanks & much appreciated . . . . . All the best & stay well !!!
My 35th Ann Custom 24 had the exact same switch issue. Hitting it with deoxit seemed to fix it too. But its worth noting that this has been an issue for a year now.
Yep! I had to replace the 3 way switch on my SE after about a year. For some reason they are poor quality switches.
damn phil...i want that exact guitar. not only is green my favorite color, but that is stunning.
Tops can be luck of the draw, but I have seen some veneered tops that look absolutely stunning! They are out there! makes me jealous sometimes.
I nearly bought an eriza verde core 24 last year. Im glad I waited.
I'm in the minority, but the core looks much better to me.
It’s the lack of deep carve that makes these look weird too.
I agree...the SE models always look like a sticker in person. The “real” ones actually look like wood.
I just don’t like the carve to a flat top on the SE or even the S2. That’s what keeps me from buying one. If it had a shallow carve then I wound with fine. The carve to a flat top bugs me. I hope to see one of these in person. Maybe I’ll change my mind.
your core doesn't look like a 10 top at all.
What is a 10 top anyhow?
@@geruto17760 high grade maple cap
@@geruto17760 It's supposed to be a higher grade top, like Gibson's AAAAA tops, or however many A's they use now a days! I believe 10-tops are about 3 grades down from the highest tier. The next up is the Artisan tops, and then you have wood that comes from their select reserve woods. A rough pattern I've seen is that 10 tops tend to be in the $3k range, artisan's are $5k, and the reserve are in the $10k+ price range.
older 10 top not like newer ones
It seems like the core still has more of that flame shimmer and depth to the figuring than the veneer does though.
I 've got the first edition of the singelcut SE and it got a three piece body, and a three piece neck, and it plays beatifully. I have equiped it with locking Ratio tuners and a graph tech nut so i can divebomb the crap out of it and it stays in tune. (can't recommend the locking ratio tuners enough)
I own a PRS ce .Two things I don't like upper fret access, needs a better cutaway also get rid of the plastic tip on the whammy.
SWEET! I found a "used" SE Paul's guitar a few months back. I love the TCI pickups with the dual mini switching for the coil taps. What a great guitar! I'm seriously considering one of the CU24's ...with the maple neck, trem, and closer spaced neck pickup...it would definitely compliment my SE Paul's. (I'm just not much of a "green" fan)
I really like these, if they came in more than two colours I'd have one tomorrow.
I always wanted an SE version of the CE24 - this is actually pretty close. It doesn't have a bolt-on neck, but it is maple. It's a wide thin profile, just like the CE24. If I didn't already own a SE Custom 24 with a wide thin neck, I'd save up for this one. I almost always buy used, but it's going to be pretty hard finding this one on the used market for a long time.
That's gorgeous!! Phil, could you do a review of the new Zach Myers SE, please? That is one that totally has me captivated.
Core looks like it has a subtle burst edge (at least it does on camera) while the SE appears to have uniform coloring.
It has yellow in the core where as the se is solid green
Thanks for the review dude - just order one of these - can't wait!
Ive got the 30th Anny, I would like it if it had the toggle vs 3 way slot (even tho u had that issue ;-). For a while I really wish mine had Pauls sig on the headstock but now its actually not as big a deal, plus mine was built in Korea. And I did get the Floyd Rose version! very satisfactory.
