Does this PRS SE CE24 really play as well as a USA PRS?

- Here I take a close look at one of this year's new SE models, the SE CE-24. I talk about the features and quality, demonstrate the sounds, and give my thoughts on the factory setup and overall playability.

Love my cherry red SE CE 24....bought it in February...it's incredibly resonant...a feel good, sounds good guitar at any price point !
I’ve reviewed a lot of SEs. There’s probably an element of “luck of the draw”, but as I said, this inexpensive model plays amazingly well. Right up there with the USA stuff. Thanks for watching.
I found a used satin cherry 24 for under $400 on Reverb and had to grab it. It was a b-stock guitar from Musician's Friend with a barely visible ding on the side of the body. After I gave it complete setup, it plays just as well as my SE custom 24.
I have that color too with 9’s along with a Custom 24 SE in blue with 10’s. I can’t decide which to play because I love them both and despite the differences in string gauges they both play superb and look great.
Well, I’ll tell you something. Every time I’ve tried 9s I’ve always gone back to 10s. But this one came with 9s, and it plays so well I didn’t even change the strings, which I always do!
Enjoy them my friend and thanks for watching.
The entire range of PRS SE models have been a good bargain among the competitors. This morning I saw the release of the same model, SE CE24 in a satin finish with an all mahogany body, and a MSRP of $499 US! PRS seems to be getting serious these days! Enjoyed the video!
I noticed that as well. That’s a crazy good value. Thanks so much for tuning in.
O fato de ser acetinado tem alguma influência no som da guitarra ??????
Picked mine up when they were on sale for around $550 and it's a fantastic guitar. Perfect set-up out of the box, smooth frets, properly intonated, and nice action. Sounds great, love the split coils. Also like the finish, very happy with it!
Glad you grabbed one. It is a real winner! Thanks for checking out my channel.
Thanks again Leonard. A short, straight to the point review and some excellent playing. I found myself tapping both feet!
Well that’s a good thing! Thanks so much.
Great driving picking Mr Griffie and good luck with the channel - I really enjoy your videos! A fan in England 👍
Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated
Great review with some mighty tasty playing, sir!
Thanks so much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Quality content. You earned a new subscriber.
Thank you my friend. Appreciated.
Beautiful guitar! Sweet sounds and playing!!💥👍🤙
Muchas Gracious
Just bought the green one,great playing Leonard
Thank you my friend. Enjoy yours!
Great overview as usual! Thanks for that. This one seems like a progression from the SE Custom 24:08 in some ways, which I bought a couple years ago and like a lot. The Swamp Ash HSH looks interesting keen to see it in your hands as it has same configuration as my 1992 Sadowsky NYC S Style which has a terrific pick-up 'blend' - Swiss Army Knife. FWIW my next SE will an Ebony Tremonti w. whammy bar and 24.5 scale which I'll drop Bare Knuckle PG Blues into - essentially a 'Peter Green' LP with whammy, something I've always wanted. The instruments coming out of Indonesia have 'bones' for me, but you do have to watch the wiring - I've tried a couple in the flagship store here where the neck pick-up cuts out - bit of an embarrassing moment for my friendly salesperson but relatively easy fix (esp if you're considering modding, as I am). Really enjoy your approach to featuring stuff! 👍
Thanks so much. I’m going to do my very best to keep bringing relevant content.
And yes, I’ve now reviewed a number of SE models and they’ve all been well made, good playing guitars. And of course, they would be great for upgrading.
Thanks so much for watching.
Sure sounds good with you playing it Leonard !
Thank you my friend.
Interesting, didn't think that model is so good for blues. Sounds great.
Thank you my friend. Thanks for watching.
Hey Leonard Really enjoying the Eastman T486 I got from you, another killer guitar!
I have to say, I came very close to keeping that one. Enjoy it my friend.
And I'm really enjoying the T484 I got from him too! It's a keeper
Sounds good. What amp did you use?
That’s my trusty Fender Tone Master Deluxe Reverb. I’ve done a couple videos on it, including this one:
It's been 2 years - do I still love the Tone Master?

Thanks for watching.
Yes it does
In this case, absolutely. Thanks for watching.
How does it compare to the 24-08 you reviewed? Considering it as I'm not always using the single coil mini switches on my 24-08
A little different, but every bit as good. In fact, the one I featured is, as I mentioned, one of the very best playing SEs I’ve tried. Now of course that’s likely to be luck of the draw and not model specific. In any case it’s a solid guitar that’s great to play.
Would you say the neck on the ce24 is thinner than the 24-08?
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also what is your favorite year from the 2010s ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much. My favorite year? With regard to PRS? Life? LOL.
Good to get the real deal from the real deal.
😊😎
Yes great playability n consistency throughout the lines n price point ...
I have a problem with the indonesian 85/15 ... they lack personality and i think that's where PRS save the pennies ... the difference with american 85/15 is night n day unfortunately ... them indonesian are mounted on a lot of Prs ... not only se but se 2 . Them guitars seem to basically sound all the same ... i owned an se custom 24 floyd and parted for that reason .. the best se are the ones voiced for artists like the dgt or Mark Holcomb .... different heart ahahah
Yes, the Indonesian pickups aren’t up to the USA versions, though I did find the 58/15 S to be a little nicer than the others. But yeah, it’s why I put Seymour Duncans in my S2 Standard 24.
Thanks for watching.
The split doesn't sound like strat single coil, why prs did this split option?
I’ve yet to hear a split humbucker that sounds like a true single coil. It just offers a different sound. The nice thing about the way PRS does it is you don’t lose too much volume. Thanks for watching.
Love mine as much if not better than my Core
I agree it’s a real winner.
Thanks for tuning in. 😎
Made by court guitars
PRS has a dedicated Cor-Tek (Cort) factory in Indonesia that only produces the SE line under supervision of PRS USA.
It dose not have a good reputation
If you’re referring to Cort’s labor disputes they were resolved back in 2007. They’re one of the world’s largest guitar makers, building for most of the major brands. I’m sure they’ve had a lot of management turnover in the last 20 years, as has companies like Gibson and Fender.
