This model is the original PRS guitar offered in 85. While it's an SE, the fit and finish are excellent, and I particularly love the quilted maple cap on the body. The neck is wide thin which fits my hand better than the fatter neck profiles of some other brands and other PRS models. I enjoy the coil tapping feature. I've owned 3 PRS SE guitars, and by far this is my favorite. If you desire owning a PRS and can't afford a core model, don't hesitate to buy and SE. They are well made and a nice value for the money you have to pay for them.

Amazing guitar at any price. I've been playing guitar in bands for over 30 years and have owned probably 75 guitars from Gibson, Fender, Ovation, PRS, G&L, Hamer etc, etc. The PRS SE Custom 24 Floyd is now my main gigging guitar. All I had to do was put on my preferred gauge of strings, set the action and do a minor truss rod tweak and it was ready to go. The PUs sound great, plays amazingly easy and the Floyd will not go out of tune. GREAT GUITAR!

This is my first PRS and considering the fact it was assembled in Korea it is up to USA standards. I found out that they are sent back to the Maryland plant and going over top to bottom by PRS techs. They are also set up just like the ones with Paul Reed Smith on the headstock. The SE Custom series, l feel plays and sounds like it's Maryland counterpart but for less money. The only thing l changed was the Truss rod cover. I replaced it with one that has PRS engraved on it. These guitars are great. A lot of bang for the buck. You can't go wrong buying one. F.

I`ve played PRS guitars since they became public, once owning number 586, a Vintage Yellow Custom 24. I bought my first CE24 in 1990 and have continued to employ the guitar in my playing ever since then. The CE model was introduced in 1988 and in the first year featured a maple fretboard on a maple neck. The pre 1995 guitars are constructed with alder bodies and maple tops. These are my favorites. The guitars built from 95 to 2000/2001 are made of mahogany with maple tops. PRS started using alder again in 2001. The guitars made with an alder body seem to be a bit brighter. The guitars have (wide/thin) bolt-on maple necks with rosewood fingerboards. They play very easily. The wood combination is great! The tremolo bridge and nut ensure the guitar stays in tune. The pickups are pretty hot in these guitars but will clean up with a little less volume. A 5-way selector switch gives one access to both humbucker and single coil sounds. These are just great guitars for the money. If you can, try to find an early model. You will not be disappointed.Read full review
After 50 years of playing, I stumbled onto Paul Reed Smith guitars. This is the workhorse of the line. Keep in mind, PRS guitars will never sound like an F or G brand guitar. They sound like PRS. The neck is fantastic. I find that PRS necks are consistently better than any other brand I`ve played. The intonation is spot on and it just feels right in the hand. With the rotary switch, the range of sounds goes from spanky single coil to full on roaring humbucker. The tremolo (when set up right) stays in tune and gibes /2 step up in addition to all the way down. It`s a very lightweight guitar, just as comfortable on the last set as the first. You can`t touch PRS for beauty. The tops are legendary. THis one looks even better in person than in pictures.
