Your reviews are always head and shoulders above the rest! If I have a question about a guitar that no one else seems to answer, I come here, and most of the time you've got it. In this case I was curious about the weight of the guitar, and there it was! And I love that you have extended demos, and you talk about the feel of the guitar in an articulate way. Please please please keep these going. You're one of the best players and reviewers we've got!
Just purchased one and it is a big step up! In a few years I will realize this investment in sound is one of great joy and memories! Thanks Zack and PRS!!!
Today I bought this guitar, I have had PRS SE 24 08 Standard, custom 24, custom 22 semi hollow. But the one I liked the most was the Zach Myers. You have a great talent as a guitarist, I congratulate you, I like your videos
Love your demos, I like when the guitar is actually demonstrated by playing as if you were playing a gig rather than running through a few shapes. make the choice of buying it easier.

Always a pleasure listening to your artistry on the guitar. After watching your review of the SE Custom 24-08, I was all set to buy that guitar and then I came across another UA-camr's video of this beauty. After watching yours and other's reviews and hearing how great this guitar sounded, I now have one. I think the 245 S pickups sound better than any of the other SE model's pickups. The satin neck is nice and smooth and so easy to play, even being a little thicker than the wide-thin neck on the SE Customs. I do wish it had push/pull pots to split the coils to offer more sounds. The tuners aren't great; they work, but are very stiff and will take some exercising to loosen up some. I will be replacing them with locking tuners at some point, as well as the tone pots to the PRS push/pull pots.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud yeah sweetwater is backed up ordered mine a month ago, keep in mind it's a que to get them as they come in. These guitars have an extremely high desirability and people that do have them praise them pretty highly, When I looked into it anybody with issues seems to complain about the nut binding the strings, which seems pretty mundane to me will slight work and lube.
great review! Great Playing and thorough explanation of the "details"!! Thank you Jonathan! I too was "taken" by the looks of this guitar when I saw it online! lol!
Great playing and great demo. I just bought one but haven't received it, yet. Can't wait to get it, and then start practicing so I can make it sound as good as you do.
Hey Jonathan...Excellent review! I went to a local music store last week. I was looking for something lighter then my 65 Reissue Jazzmaster, which I love, but it's a bit heavy, and has gotten heavier as I've gotten older. The Les Paul Style guitar has never been a favorite of mine, I saw this PRS had a chambered Body, so I gave it a try. Wow! The neck! Smooth, and kind of like my Jazzmaster in thickness. It felt great! The other thing, I usually don't get along with 24.75" scale guitars. This Guitar was 24.5" scale, which I think a lot of PRS models are 25" scale, didn't realize it. Workmanship is excellent. I'm not use to the color, I usually do white or sunburst, but I'll see past it. I'm sold! I will be picking one up by the end of the month. Enjoyed your playing, you sound fantastic.
Great guitar, I almost bout one in Santana yellow. That color your playing is awesome. Great playing by you. That guitar is probably going to be my next guitar. I just like the way they look and play. Subscribed.
A great looking and sounding guitar, the Blue flame maple top looks stunning. Thanks for telling us about the chunky neck, baseball bat necks are not suited to my small hands, of only you could fit an Ibanez neck! Thanks again Jonathan.
Personally I have smaller hands, but prefer baseball bat thick necks as I don't wrap my thumb around unless I am using it for low E fretwork , I rest the bottom curve of the neck on my thumb and thumb part of the palm which gives a bit greater reach thinner necks I cannot do that as I am always muting the high E string by accident. It also allows me to use my thumb to do a high fret E high string and still have use of all four other fingers just by a slight underlean forward with the wrist allowing some interesting sounds, keep in mind this only works really while standing and on guitars that don't have neck dive. Also keeps me from having a death grip on the neck for normal playing as you only get enough tension to be able to push the strings just enough for the frets without it sliding off your palm. Its one of those things you get used to and when you do it makes it so much easier to play with a satin finish that glides nice on the thumb palm(Love the neck on the H.E.R. Strat because of this) I end up faster than people playing so called thin fast necks
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 I tried to learn on a Fender Strat with a 7.25 radius neck, and found that i soon had cramp like pains in my thumb, i tried changing to a 9.5 neck but same problem. After trying many guitar necks, i settled on an Ibanez RG with a Wizzard 3 neck and the pain was gone We are all different, and to this day i still struggle to play thicker necks.
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 Without them i may never have learned to play, there is a difference between the ones fitted to the RG's compared to the Jem Jr. I Have both a Jem 7v and a Jem Jr, the necks are far better on the Japan made Jem 7v. The neck profile can make or break the desirablity of any guitar, this is why you need to try before you buy, but Covid has made this more difficult.
Hey so you got one of the guitars that i hoped (and asked) you would review-excellent. It sounds great in your hands Jon, now all i need is to see you get & review the PRS SE Custom 24-08 Electric Guitar - Eriza Verde, so i can make my decision as to which one to buy. The only problems i have with the Zach Myers model (and for most people these are NOT problems) is 1) i dont like the tuners & 2) the coils aren't splitable, but another youtuber said in their review that the pups are 4 wired, so all one would have to do is swap out the pots to push/push or push/pull & problem solved... Thanks again for the review-Be Safe brother :)
just came from GC few hours ago. guy was pushing this brand and model. like how you played the blues. is it possible to get the pat metheny sound from this guitar?
Stunning guitar Jon !! It brought out the best in you in that fantastic intro. It has a sweet ringing tone and those pickups are coming across as great for a number of genres. Which did you like then most? This or the Micheal Kelly ? Great review Jon Cheers 👍😀❤️
hello , congratulations for everything ... I ask you for information: what is the difference between a prs Paul Reed Smith SE and a prs The SE Zach Myers ? thanks for answer
Great playing! Not your usual PRS & maybe one to keep, that neck seems almost Gibson-like. I'm intrigued by that amp too.. esp since I have a HT-5R MkII coming tomorrow in grey rather than the usual black, that one looks like the 20 amp red version possibly?
Just saw this video even though its 1 year ago. This is a fantastic looking guitar but IMO like lots of PRS SE's it would look better with nickel covered pickups. PRS always put open bobbin pickups on the SE line with a very few exceptions. Not saying its looks bad like this but a bit of variety on the models would be nice. Great review.
Hi Jon, yes blues-rock is my thing, blues-rock with a blue guitar is chic ! Hey Jon, sometimes we would like to see Miss Janet from Davis Guitar . How comes that these guitars are more expensive in Europe by 20% ? Anyway, I'll try to see this one in real, thanks for demo.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud may be does she play or sing ? By the way, looking forward to your family's next show. Still impressed by your cover of Tears for Fears Rule the world 💓
I think they are fine guitars to start with.., yes the pickups and some other appointments may not be from the states.. but they are great playing guitars. And I’m always impressed by their beautiful finishes✌️❤️
Hey Jon, I really love your great playing and reviews. I'm on buying a new guitar, hesitating between the Zach Myers, Sire T7 FM (with Humb.) & Custo 24 08. Which would you advice or which one did U prefer ? Thanks a lot
Great playing Jon as always. Btw, which is more comfortable to play, this or the Sire H7? They are both semi-hollow which is the type of guitar I am after.
Hey John. I recently watched your review on another guitar, the LTD Deluxe EC-1001 with Tiger Eye finish. I was considering either that one or this Zach Meyers PRS. In your opinion, what guitar do you consider to be better, or which did you personally like more?
Such a beauty - but why are those backplates standing up, why they don't level them with the back? It wouldn't only look much better, it would not give you those "stoppies" while playing standing on a gig imao. It's a minor issue, but that's the difference to a outstanding guitar i believe. Great review like always. Stay safe
1- Its for cost cutting so they can make it in that price bracket, 2- some people prefer non recessed back plates as its easier to get them off, I have known many people that don't even use backplates because other than the shielding on the control cavities they only serve as dust covers basically.
@@nocturnal101ravenous6 i get what you're talking about and agree for the spring backplates, but the backplate of the switch isn't that often replaced and can be egalized by costs of some cents (they're all done by CNC) and who want's can leave the spring backplates off (like most of us)......

Enjoy your videos Brother keep up the good work 🥰😇😎🎸
It would be nice to hear a side by side comparison with the se 245 to hear how the f hole makes a difference

There is one at guitar Center for $724 USd. Saving up for it.

The Paul’s guitar is Paul ideal design while the Zack Myers is a signature model
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thank you very much that you answered me ... But in terms of sound, is there a difference?

How do you feel this differs from the semi hollow se custom 22? Is it heavier and deeper? More sustain? About the same?
cant remember...its been a while...but i like the Zach

i dont really know...I have not review the 245 yet
Hey Jonathan，I‘ll be interested if you
try some heavy metal riffs on this cute guitar！
lol ✌💙
Some people say the SE PRS Guitars are not even close to the "real" PRS and are not that good. Your personal opinion? Thanks!

Could you do a review on the prs se custom 24-08 eriza verde when you can?
Mahalo from Hawaii!!
Keke… wait for it✌️❤️
Jon - I am guessing you haven't had tuning issues with this guitar?
Nope.. guitar ain’t mine✌️😬
Hi Jon,I just bought the Myers guitar but the pickups sound way too bright,do you have any suggestions to tame it,thanks
Use the tone knobs...both on the guitar and the amp..Worst case...Change the pickups...

Would this guitar give you a classic Wes Montgomery jazz tone??

just a question, can you get out smooth jazzy sounds from that guitar?
Oh yea...easy..✌♥
Hey Jon how does that compare to my Santana semi se?
I don't know..✌❤
what do you think is better for the clean - SE Zach Myers or custom 22?
