PRS’s Delectable 24-08 Meets the Affordable SE Line

Playability, tone, looks, and affordability: you’ll find it all in the PRS SE Standard 24-08. The SE Standard 24 has been a favorite for years thanks to its focused tone, straightforward aesthetics, and top-tier quality. Today’s SE Standard 24-08 wraps all of that into an attractive, value-packed instrument with extended versatility that sings with articulation and warmth akin to those legendary vintage rock tones. A pair of TCI-tuned “S” humbuckers dishes out crystal clarity with plenty of power to bring the heat when necessary. Just like PRS’s other 24-08 models, the SE Standard 24-08 features a pair of mini toggles that are individual coil taps, helping the guitar achieve convincing single-coil tones. Add in the Wide-thin neck profile, PRS patented tremolo, and iconic Birds inlays, and you have a fantastic instrument that is unmistakably PRS.

Classy, yet subtle appearance

This PRS SE Standard 24-08 displays its mahogany construction proudly through its stunning translucent finish, the wood grain assuring you of the natural tones that are to come. Around the perimeter of this guitar, you’ll find binding that sets the top and back of the guitar apart in a truly artistic manner. As your eyes move up the SE Standard 24-08’s rosewood fingerboard, you’ll find the company's iconic Birds in flight inlaid in beautiful mother-of-pearl. And Paul Reed Smith’s signature adorns the headstock to complete this guitar’s exquisite look.

Solid construction and hardware deliver amazing playability

The all-mahogany body of the SE Standard 24-08 gives you warm, detailed tones that make your music jump out of the guitar. Its 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 high-fret access. The hardware is, as always, very stable and dependable. Take it from Sweetwater — you can count on the PRS-designed tremolo and tuners to keep the SE Standard 24-08 in tune while allowing you to express yourself at home, onstage, or in the studio.

PRS TCI-tuned “S” pickups offer remarkable clarity and tonal range

Whether you’re chording or deploying a searing lead, playing through this guitar’s TCI-tuned “S” pickups is a rewarding experience. By undergoing PRS's TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, the team at PRS has leveraged their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The result? A very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage but updated for the modern player. From shimmering cleans to blistering high gain, the clarity and extended tonal range provided by these humbuckers make this 6-string an ideal workhorse guitar. Throw in a pair of mini toggles for independent coil-splitting capabilities, and these impressive pickups can handle anything in their way.

PRS SE Standard 24-08 Electric Guitar Features:

  • Double-cut solidbody electric guitar with all-mahogany body
  • Beautifully understated body and fingerboard binding
  • Smooth-playing maple neck features a Wide-thin neck profile
  • Easily accessible 24-fret rosewood fingerboard
  • 2 PRS TCI-tuned “S” humbucking pickups deliver a wide range of sounds

Beautiful Guitar

Not disappointed with my purchase of the PRS SE Standard 24-08; nice guitar at a decent price. The guitar, right out of the box, was ready to play. Tuned, good action and comfortable playability. The two additional pickup toggles is a nice feature, but my expectations may have been too high. I did invest, an additional $, in PRS locking tuners. Definitely a good investment, guitar stays in tune and makes re-stringing a breeze. Oh, as you can guess from my last statement, I also changed out the PRS strings with my favorite Ernie Ball Regular Slinkies. My choice of string on all my electrics.
Music background: Playing since the 1970s, big Clapton fan.

Extremely happy

My new PRS guitar arrived on time and in perfect condition. Upon its arrival I anxiously awaited 24 more hours before unboxing to allow the woods and components to acclimate to my apartment's atmosphere per Sweetwater's recommendation. Just as I had pulled the guitar from the nice gig bag it came in and was holding in my hand, the phone rang and it happened to be my sales engineer Joel! I told him what I was doing and after a brief conversation I immediately performed a visual inspection of the guitar. There were no marks, scratches, dents, scuffs or any marring whatsoever. It was immaculate! The maple neck and rosewood fret board are as smooth as silk and very playable right out of the box. String action is great and so is the intonation. The translucent blue body is absolutely beautiful...just translucent enough to see the pretty mahogany wood grain underneath. Hardware is polished and stable. Fit and finish is superb. And it sounds great with its eight possible pickup variations. Thank you Joel and the guitar techs, QC and shipping departments. I'm extremely happy!

Fantastic!!!!

The PRS SE Standard 24-08 is a fantastic electric guitar and in my favorite color too! BLUE with white binding. And you can still see the wood grain through the translucent gloss poly. The maple wide thin/slim neck with a rosewood fret board feels great right out of the box and doesn't stick to your hands when it get sweaty from playing for 4 hours (I did at a Jam session). The guitar even though 7lbs 9oz feels quite light. PRS has mastered the floating tremolo/vibrato bridge and the push in term arm is the best part. When you use it the guitar doesn't go out of tune at all. The TCI-S pickups sings in all positions! Though I like the humbucker sounds. Not my Fender Strat or Tele but it has its own sound and song. You don't have to change a thing on this guitar but I'm changing the tuners to PRS SE locking tuners.

My first real electric guitar

This is my first real electric guitar. Looks great, stays in tune for days. Had to get a setup, but that's normal. Now it plays like butter. I've had it for a few months, and I really have no complaints about it so far. Inspires me to play, and chugs when I need it to ;)

Special thanks to my sales engineer Pablo Murcia, for helping me decide on this purchase.
Music background: a few months of justin guitar

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
