"The PRS SE Standard range offers tremendous value for money. You get all the things that PRS are renowned for - amazing playability, clear and versatile pickups, great build quality and spectacular looks, but they're less than £500! The Standard SEs are just as suited to being someone's first guitar as they are to being another instrument in a pro's collection. PRS updated these models a few years ago and now, they're fitted with the same pickups as some of the more expensive models. How do they keep the cost down then? Well, the SE Standard guitars don't have a maple top - the bodies are all mahogany, they're made in Indonesia (instead of Korea or America), plus they don't come with a case or bag, but still, at this price, you're getting a bargain!
The Standard 24 is the most affordable version of the flagship PRS guitar ever to be made. Like the original, it's got 24 frets giving you a massive four octave range, plus you've got the same body and headstock shapes, as well the iconic bird fret inlays. These guitars are extremely playable - they come set up really well from PRS, though it's easy to make adjustments to get it playing exactly how you like it. The tremolo bridge unit has individual saddles for fine-tuning the intonation, plus it holds its tuning well, even with some fairly serious trem absue! The Standard 24 also sounds every bit as good as it looks, with powerful yet articulate humbuckers. You've even got the option to split them, giving you single-coil style tones, making it super versatile - it's a great guitar for quite literally, any style of player."

Powerful Tone in a Rock Solid Package
Perfect as a first guitar or the last guitar you’ll ever need, the PRS SE Standard 24 faithfully recreates the foundational design of the Custom 24, PRS’s flagship model, with all-mahogany body construction. This guitar features classic PRS appointments, including a 24-fret mahogany neck (set neck construction), rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, 85/15 “S” pickups, and the PRS patented molded tremolo, resulting in a guitar that handles well and sounds as good plugged straight into an amp as it does run through a pedal board.
The SE Standard 24 is a modern instrument with a powerful voice for players who demand a rock-solid, reliable guitar.
“With so many aspiring players struggling to stick with guitar past the first year, we knew we wanted to deliver an affordable quality guitar that players didn’t have to fight. We want the guitar to inspire you to play; it can’t be something you have to worry about staying in tune or simply working right. So while the [SE] Standards are our first foray into the below $500 price point, that doesn’t mean we compromised on tone, versatility, playability, or reliability,” said Jack Higginbotham, COO, PRS Guitars. “We’re very proud to offer these guitars to the world.”
