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 for shockingly lifelike acoustic tones at the flick of a switch. 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

Incredible Value

I've wanted a PRS for years and when I saw one at this price point I had to try it. It's a true PRS with incredible tone, great playability and one of the best tremolos I've used. I've been playing since 1964 and have many guitars but this one has become my go to because its just fun to play, very comfortable, smooth frets, great action right out of the box. Sweetwater did a great setup on it as usual. This guitar falls into the category of "you can pay more but not really get a better instrument".

Change of Heart

Don't write reviews after having a bad day. Yes it did have a little ding by the tuners, yes the back plate location over the trem needed moving to change strings and that ping or harmonic sound I get settled down when I rolled the tone knob back a bit. Now the things I do love starting with the grain match on the body of this guitar is beautiful and the neck and fretboard make playing this guitar so easy and fun. The micro switch coil tap is amazing giving my Strat some serious competition with a unique tone I can't get with my Strat. All in all this is a good guitar, not perfect but a good bang for the buck.
Rated 5/5

Just wonderful

First I want to start by thanking my amazing and wonderful sales engineer Daniel Nesmith , after changing sales engineer few times prior I can finally say that I have the best sales engineer of all, is great to have a sales engineer that will always go the extra mile to take care of your needs and questions, he's always there! It's nice to have someone to talk about gear and be enthusiastic about it, add to that the amazing service from Sweetwater and you have a perfect and unmatched team to take care of all your musical needs
Now to the instrument, this guitar is one of the best value instruments ever, the built quality is top notch, the feel and playability is superb, there is a reason why they can't keep it in stock, the sound quality is great and the fact that you can get 8 different sounds out of the pick ups is a big plus.
Every guitar player needs to have a prs in their arsenal, playing a prs is like a spiritual experience.
The pick ups are great I will change them because I'm looking for something different but believe me they sound pretty good, also will get locking tuners because I play finger style and bend a lot and the stock tuners are not the best.
When this guitar becomes available don't think it twice, just get it. One more thing the pictures don't do justice to it , when you have it in your hands you'll know how beautiful this thing is.
Music background: Professional.

Great guitar

Just love this guitar. Plays very smoothly. Fits my fingers well. At this price it is much better than any starter guitar. Why not get a guitar that is super playable. The tone options are great. Using this in the studio and getting great sounds. And the finish is outstanding. PRS is just an exception company and paired with Sweetwater service and support is a winning combination.
Very happy with this purchase

Absolutely WOW!!!

The craftmanship on this guitar is stellar! I had heard that PRS guitars are known for their high quality at a fair price and it's true. My guitar is beautiful all the way around. No nicks, scratches or dents. the guitars mahogany top is excellent. The playability is incredible on the neck. I wasn't sure if I would like the wide fret board that PRS guitars have but I love it. All the electronics work great, Tremelo works fine. The only thing I had to do was lower the string action. This is my first guitar with a floating bridge, so I took it to my Luthier, and he lowered the action for me and adjusted the pickup height and now the guitar action is as smooth as silk. Pickups sound great as well.

The guitar was shipped double boxed and arrived on time.
I was so impressed with this guitar that I just bought a PRS SE Custom electric guitar.
Music background: 40+ years of playing electric guitar (rock/electric blues/heavy metal)

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.
