PRS (SE) 2024

[MetalDestroyer]

I have been really eyeing the pink/purple quilt CU24 with the binding. I wish they would do the color and binding on the core floyd.

Those are still quite a bit more. I also dont really like arch top bodies. I prefer the bevel on the SEs.

Sounds like you just want an S2 then. They're flat top with bevels

I looked at those several years back and I remember I didn't like the fatter neck as much. However, I might like it better now. I looked at S2s and the new CEs, but just ended up with 2 SE CU24s.

Just FYI, the thinline model has the "pattern thin" neck, even though the rest are all "pattern vintage".

I haven’t played a PRS before but I am real close to buying the green swamp ash. It looks so nice

So it arrived today. Not one fit and finish issue detected. Love the feel of the neck finish. Honestly it’s as nicely made as or more so than some USA made guitars costing 3x as much that I own. Does need a set up but other than that…

I just ordered a CE24 so lets see if Zzounds lives up to their 1-day shipping promise.

I think one thing that would help the aesthetic is covered pickups. Looks kinda naked with open-coil pickups since I'm used to the OG SASes lol.

I will put black PU rings on it and locking tuners. Not sure how the pickups will be because it seems geared toward the blues/ classic rock crowd in the demos online, But I am very pleased with its quality

The SE pickups have gotten really fucking good since the 2017 refresh. I had a '17 Tremonti and I never changed the pickups. Same with the DGT SE.

Twice they weren’t able to live up to with me but I have gotten 50 dollars back for my inconvenience.

I wasn't really a fan of them. I replaced them in both of the SEs I have. I just remember they were bassy and trebly. Like mushy and piercing at the same time.

The Pre-2017 SEs yeah that was the case for me, but all the post-2017 SEs I had were solid as hell.
But even if I don't like them, I got a slew of pickups to try lol. Especially a Duncan '78 on the way.

Mine are from around then. They had the 85/15s, which is what they still use today.

I have a Custom/Jazz in one of them, and Fishman Moderns in the other. I have been thinking about changing the Custom to a JB though to mix it up some.

I may not have the will power to resist one of these bros…

Ooo let me know how the '78 is. Been thinking about trying one.

These SE deals are so tempting. I don't need any new guitars, but a McCarty Singlecut is looking mighty tempting...

Why can’t the black Silver Sky have a maple fretboard? It’s always something lol

 

[shreddermcgavin]

Just ordered one of the CE SE’s. Tops on these vary a lot but I couldn’t say no when I saw this one. S/o sweetwater
