A PRS Custom Solidbody That's Perfect for Any Player!

The Paul Reed Smith SE Custom 24 solidbody electric guitar puts the sound, playability, and gorgeous looks of the Custom line into a high-quality yet affordable instrument! The SE Custom 24's mahogany body and maple top hold two great-sounding PRS-designed HFS and Vintage Bass humbucking pickups. Its 3-piece maple neck features a wide-thin shape for very easy playing, and the rosewood fingerboard is adorned with classy PRS Bird inlays. This guitar is a true PRS through and through, as well as being a great value - you don't have to be a rock star or collector to enjoy the SE Custom 24!

The combination of a mahogany body and maple top gives the SE Custom 24 a perfect balance of rich midrange and bright snap (and the beautiful flame maple top veneer helps make this instrument a real looker). Add HFS and Vintage Bass humbuckers in the bridge and neck positions, respectively, and you've got a recipe for some outstanding tones! The SE Custom 24's maple neck has a wide-thin carve, making it very fast and playable. And the distinctive neck joint means you can reach all 24 frets easily for stellar solos. The hardware is, as always, very stable and dependable. You can count on the PRS-designed tremolo bridge and tuners to keep the SE Custom 24 in tune while allowing you to express yourself at home, onstage, or in the studio.

If you've ever seen a Paul Reed Smith guitar up close, you know what we mean when we go on about how great these guitars look. There's nothing better for a guitar enthusiast than seeing, feeling, and, yes, smelling the finish, figure, and complexity of these guitars. If geography prevents you from stopping in and checking them out, however, you can get the next best thing: detailed, multi-angle views at our online Guitar Gallery.

All Paul Reed Smith guitars are designed for top-notch performance, right out of the case and the SE Custom 24 is no exception. Constructed from top-notch tonewoods and components, PRS instruments carry on a commitment to quality that's been the brand's hallmark since 1985, when Paul Reed Smith himself started hand-building guitars for some of the most elite players in the world.

Simply Amazing Guitar

by Howard Pavane from Long Island, NY
December 20, 2011
Music Background: Pro Songwriter & Musician, with over 50 years experience
I was lucky to get a call from my excellent sarles engineer, Brad Every, on Dec. 14 that SW had received one of the guitars we had been discussing - I reserved it & called back latter that day to com... read more [+]plete my order. I asked that the guitar be restrung with Elixir Nanoweb strings by SW, added other gear to my order (including a Gator case), and 3 days later everything arrived at my home!

My wife & I immediately unpacked the equipment, set up an amp and mic in the den and within a few minutes I was playing one of the most amazing electric guitars I ever owned. Both of us were impressesd with the wonderfully warm clean tone from the humbuckers & by the beautiful construction, fit & finish are perfect, that went into this Korean built PRS.
Don't let the fact this PRS is made overseas stop you from trying and buying one. It truly is worth far more than the price would suggest - actually it is a steal.

Playability is incredibly sweet. The wide-thin fretboard lets me wrap my small hands around the neck with ease. The double cutout body allows all 24 frets to be reached. In fact, the PRS SE is easier to play than other acoustics I own that cost more than 3 times what this baby goes for.

And if looks matter to you, the Tri-Color Sunburst is a beauty (the pictures don't do it justice). The workmanship is incredible. And the PRS iconic bird fret marker inlays finish it off nicely.

I would not hesitate to recommend this fine instrument. The set-up from SW was perfect. No fret buzz, great action. The only thing I needed to do was break in the Elixir strings until it held the tuning.

As always Sweetwater's customer service was excellent. Thanks again to Brad Every for putting up with all my questions and concerns. I would not buy music gear from anyone else. I have never had a problem in all the years I have been a customer. close [-]

Absolutely amazing

by Kevin Dul from Charlotte, North Carolina
November 30, 2011
Music Background: 7.5 years of guitar playing.
Perfectly constructed neck, very easy to slide around. Although you really cannot get past .12s, the construction here is nearly flawless. The only issue i've had is palm muting the high e string, my ... read more [+]pink hits the volume knob from time to time, but I just took the knob cover off, replaced it with a smaller one, and I'm fine. This is probably because I have massive hands. But the pickups have a very nice response. I can put my pointer directly under the string and pull up while on the neck pickup and sound like a bass slap. Then I can switch to the bridge pickup and shred away. Endless, proper, affordable tone. close [-]

Great value, great service

by Ed from Fallston, MD

Music Background: Retired playing professional,
For background, I do own some American built guitars. This is my 3rd PRS SE, and I have been thrilled with all of them. My other two are a Soapbar II, and Singlecut. This is my first with a tremolo... read more [+]. I was a little worried about tuning stability, but so far it has been excellent, and every bit as good as my stop-tails. The metal trem adds a certain "chime" to the sound, which acoustically is a little more Strat like. Through the amp, the humbuckers are silent for noise, high output, but retain very good definition and are not muddy. I feel a tremendous difference in the neck thickness of this wide-thin neck, as compared to the wide-fat, and for me, it makes it much easier to play and get around on. The 24 fret neck combined with the PRS cut makes those higher frets like 15-18, much easier to reach with no guitar body blocking any part of your hand. And of course, the fit and finish are exquisite as you would expect from any PRS. George from Sweetwater was great to deal with; polite and very responsive. And this is the first guitar I have ever received from either UPS or a brick and mortar store, that arrived perfectly set up, and almost perfectly in tune. Obviously it didn't come from Korea like that, so I guess there is a Sweetwater difference. close [-]
