I've owned my fair share of budget friendly guitars. Fender Mexican Strats, Fender Mexican Telecasters, Epiphone Casino, Epiphone Les Paul, Ibanez RG450. This guitar beats them all in most categories. Better neck. Better setup out of the box. Pickups are more versatile and capable than any of the competition. It can play everything from John Mayer to Underoath to U2 to Coheed and everything in between and replicate the tones pretty accurately. Build quality is phenomenal for the price. This guitar can trade blows with my American standard SG - really. It's a great guitar, and in my opinion the best guitar in its price range by a good amount.

Overall:I have liked and owned PRS since 1995. No doubt PRS is putting more thought into their guitars for players. The Se CE is one of the nicest guitars in this price range I have seen. Comfort , feel , the neck , sound , playability - quality is there in this guitar. From someone seriously starting out to seasoned player , I don’t think you can go wrong buying this. I seriously see the SE CE 24 becoming a demand guitar and the price increasing. Yes - in my opinion it is worth it and you will play it regularly and gig it too. Go find it in a shop-try it out , I’m sure you will soon be bringing it home or buying it from zZounds.Best purchase and guitar I have seen in awhile !

Picked up the turquoise one on sale, and for around $550 this is an excellent guitar. Intonation spot on out of the box, frets smooth. I just polished the frets, treated the fingerboard, and put a set of 10s on it (9s are too slinky for me. I added an extra spring to the trem, which brought the action down to perfection with no fret buzz. The finish is perfect, neck is very smooth to play. Comes with a nice padded gig bag. I mainly got it to back up my strat and to retire my 76 Les Paul from gigging - great sounding guitar but it literally weighs 12 lbs. The PRS is much lighter, closer to the start. I love the split coils, it has a lot of versatility and handles both clean and gain well.

I love this guitar. I'm a beginner, my favorite guitarists use PRS, and I love the 'birds' fretwork. When I saw the Standard Satin's reviews and at this price, I couldn't resist and placed the order. The Standard Satin is a great beginner guitar: right out of the box I could tell it was ready to go. Except for the G-string, it was already in tune! Fretwork is good, body is adequately finished, all the switches and knobs work as desired. And it sounds good.The Standard Satin Vintage Cherry finish is Gorgeous. OK, it can't compare to a tiger stripe maple topped PRS Core, but the three glued together blocks of mahogany in the body of mine look well matched and the quick & dirty satin vintage cherry finish is simply beautiful; I can't complain, it looks great! PRS made ... MoreI love this guitar. I'm a beginner, my favorite guitarists use PRS, and I love the 'birds' fretwork.

I emailed Shawn F. at Sweetwater to see if he had any suggestions for a guitar in the $ range. I was already looking at guitar brands that Sweetwater didn't carry because at first I didn't think they'd have exactly what I was looking for. That was until Shawn told me to check out this PRS. I never thought of getting one and I assumed the price would be too far above the limit I set. I didn't know much about PRS and so I didn't know they released this lower priced model. It was somehow only slightly above the max I wanted to spend at the time. I decided to order one and wait for a couple months since they were out of stock and waiting for more to arrive. It was definitely worth the wait, including the extra 24 hrs of acclimating inside the box. When I opened it up ... MoreI emailed Shawn F. at Sweetwater to see if he had any suggestions for a guitar in the $ range.

It was definitely worth the wait, including the extra 24 hrs of acclimating inside the box. When I opened it up and took the guitar out, no set up was needed. It was ready to play. It really feels amazing for the price which seems like a rare thing these days. I have Shawn to thank for pointing me to this PRS. He also suggested trying out the new "DR Strings Dragon Skin+ Quantum Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings" so I did and they sound and feel great. The PRS comes with a nice soft case, but I got the "Gator GC-ELECTRIC-A Deluxe ABS Molded Case for Double-cutaway Electric Guitar" and it's a perfect fit. In the end, the PRS turned out to be a whole lot more than what I was looking for. I'm not a pro, but if I was, I'd probably like playing it just as much as any other guitar.
Overall:I like humbucker guitars. I became interested in PRS guitars from listening to Carlos Santana. The SE CE 24 is my third PRS. I have the SE 245 and a CE.24. To me the SE CE 24 guitar has great tone in all 3 positions and choice I coil tap and/ or humbucker.I play blues, classic rock, and country, and hymns.Been playing over 50 years.If you're PRS curious, I recommend the SE CR 24. It is well worth the low cost.The neck is smooth and feels good in the hand. Set up was good out of the box. Just needed to be tuned and tweaked to my preference. Stays in tune. I don't use the tremolo arm much. I trem with my fingers mostly. I have been a zZounds customer for a few years. Purchased many guitars, amps,.and accessories here.
PRS usually makes high-end guitars with a high price tag. So having a CE-24 version around $500 is an amazing value. The quality is excellent, the finish is beautiful (I got metallic ice blue) and the playability is top-notch. Incredible versatility in this guitar with dual humbuckers as well as a coil-splitting feature. The strings stay in tune - rock solid. Mahogany body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard make for a nice tonewood combination. Love playing it and can't think of a better guitar in this price range.
Over the decades, I've owned a number of Carvins/Kiesels, a couple of Strats, Teles, an LP, and, most recently, a PRS SE Hollow II. IMO, of all those quality instruments, the SE CE24 offers, dollar for dollar, one of the best values. It's impeccably crafted, a comfortable wide thin neck, very nicely polished frets with no sharp ends, lovely, dark 10" rad. rosewood board, a smoothly acting, solid trem, and the (non-locking) tuning machines are smooth (I only need to occasionally touch up the tuning.). To my taste, the pickups sound great; having a clean, tonally balanced articulation. Neither bridge or neck pickup overpowers the other and mix nicely when paired. I really think that the bolt neck adds a significant degree of crispness and attack that sets it apart ... MoreOver the decades, I've owned a number of Carvins/Kiesels, a couple of Strats, Teles, an LP, and, most recently, a PRS SE Hollow II.

To my taste, the pickups sound great; having a clean, tonally balanced articulation. Neither bridge or neck pickup overpowers the other and mix nicely when paired. I really think that the bolt neck adds a significant degree of crispness and attack that sets it apart from neck set instruments. In the few months that I've owned my SE CE24, I've preferred playing it over my Strat. No, it doesn't sound 'just like a Strat', but I really enjoy it's almost single-coil qualities without the hum. (A split coil feature exists, but, I actually prefer it's fatter, yet still crisp, humbucker tones.) I don't miss a middle pickup as I never use those tones. Oh, yes, its Black Cherry tiger stripped maple cap with black back and headstock give this instrument a sophisticated visual presence. I would definitely buy it again!
Lighter and brighter sounding than my other SE 24. I prefer the satin finish on the bolt-on neck and access to higher frets is fine (perhaps even easier). Set up out of the box was excellent with a degree of downward adjustment left in the saddles for a low action. I don't use the tremolo and this comes with four springs that keeps the bridge feeling (almost) fixed, especially with the light strings. Humbuckers are on the brighter side and the single coil tones are good with not too much drop in volume.I have to say I loved this guitar right from the off, great looks and play-ability and versatile enough to cover any gig requirement. Buy the turquoise one!
Overall:The good The sunburst vintage looks beautiful The case is nicely padded The action is low The bad The frets are noticeably sharp The neck feels dry The ugly Mine being a blemished model I didn’t know what to expect and it turns out the model I bought doesn’t have a bolt to hold the input jack in place, so until I buy one I can’t plug in and test out the pickups or electronics I realize people are saying this is a “value model” prs and honestly I wouldn’t even consider it a value even paying the blemish price, having sharp frets and a bolt-on uncomfortable neck on a 700 dollar guitar is a definite no go for me, and then having to deal with the no bolt issue; imagine buying this brand new and having this happen. I would consider other guitars in this price ... MoreOverall:The good The sunburst vintage looks beautiful The case is nicely padded The action is low The bad The frets are noticeably sharp The neck feels dry The ugly Mine being a blemished model I didn’t know what to expect and it turns out the model I bought doesn’t have a bolt to hold the input jack in place, so until I buy one I can’t plug in and test out the pickups or electronics I realize people are saying this is a “value model” prs and honestly I wouldn’t even consider it a value even paying the blemish price, having sharp frets and a bolt-on uncomfortable neck on a 700 dollar guitar is a definite no go for me, and then having to deal with the no bolt issue; imagine buying this brand new and having this happen. I would consider other guitars in this price range before committing and see if you can get it cheaper than 699 Also don’t make the same mistake as I did and see the price tag and immediately buy a guitar; do your research. Because I didn’t do mine and ask why the price was what it was, I have a guitar essentially without an input jack lol and though it’s not a deal breaker it’s just inconvenient save yourself the trouble
