USED – PRS SE Standard 24 Tobacco Sunburst – 2020

PRS’s SE range have been a massive success since they were released a decade ago. The ethos is simple: to make high quality, well made Far-Eastern models of some of PRS’s most famous and successful designs. These are an affordable alternative for guitarists on a budget who still want that great PRS look, feel and sound. These great guitars represent excellent value and with such an expansive range, it won’t be hard to find a model that you love!

The Standard 24 is one of the most affordable models in the PRS roster but don’t make the mistake of underestimating it: this is one serious piece of guitar! With a body and neck made of Mahogany, this set neck rock machine sustains exceptionally. The Wide Thin neck profile, double octave neck and 25” scale length mark this guitar out as one for the lead players! Soloing is free and easy on the Standard 24 plus it has a tremolo on a quality far higher than the guitar’s price point may suggest.

The pickups are the same 85/15 ’S’ models as the dearer Custom 24 models and a Push/Pull control on the tone knob allows a selection of single coil tones to complement the smooth chunk of the humbuckers.

Despite its relatively utilitarian look (no flame maple etc) there is still a touch of luxury with the addition of the famous Bird inlays along the Rosewood fretboard! Simply put, this is one of the best sub-£500 electric guitars available anywhere.
