Thought I’d share what I think is one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve seen: my PRS SE Custom 24 in bright Bonnie Pink. The light was catching it quite nice this evening.
This thing plays as good as it looks. The neck is really nice, the frets and edge of fretboard are like butter, the trem is really nice with a push in bar. The high fret access is just superb. I love the pickups that have some great bite, but clean up with volume and tone adjustment. The split coil setting, although not perfect adds a lot of versatility so I dont often want to swap guitars just for some single coils - well, most of the time.
Only criticisms would be I think it should have some with locking tuners, but as a £90 add on I can see why they did it to keep the cost down - having since added them I really like the PRS locking system.
The pickup selector switch I find to be quite out of the way and the trem bar gets in the way if wanting to switch mid song. A LP is hard to beat in this regard.
Overall a definite 9.8/10, very highly recommended.
PRS is great, and the SE line really doesn’t sacrifice much in terms of QC and setup from the factory. I love my 24-08.
The 24-08 in Verde green was on my shortlist too, but it was a lot extra money for a couple of different switching options.
