Great PRS Standard 24

It's a great guitar . The design is pretty good , tone is perfect . About guitar's size, let's say it is a "mix" of Strat + Les Paul . This guitar has a stable tune and the pickup's gives you a great sound . It has a clever "trick" where you can use one of the two knobs to control pickup's (change it from Single coil to Humbucker) . You can play anything you want , from Blues to Metal . Great feeling when i played . Also

the colour (TB) looks beautiful . Prs did a great job with this product !

Très bonne guitare rapport qualité prix !

Le son est au rendez-vous, un confort de jeu à la hauteur du prix, une tenue d'accord très bien !

Les micros passifs ont un très bon niveau de sortie, elle a un timbre très chaud et rond en micro manche et un son bien claquant et précis en micro chevalet !

4 étoiles pour la qualité de fabrication par rapport au port jack qui a tendance à se desserrer facilement mais rien de grave et aussi l'électronique qui me parait un peu fragile (à voir avec le temps) !

my first PRS

I am not a top player, just amateur and no intention to go pro. I have bought a few guitars from Fender, Epiphone, Gretsch, Ibanez, nothing more than 1K euros. I bought this as my first PRS, it is of course the lowest in the price range, but it really feels and plays great. In fact, it is my favourite guitar. So simple in the controls, ergonomics perfect, the tuning is stable, and it RINGS. I now understand why so many top guitarists use PRS, they are something special. This one is thoroughly recommended from a guy at intermediate level like me. And for 500E, honestly this is a beautiful guitar with the top name on the head :)

unbelievably good

i have heard good things about the prs-brand as a whole for a long time. so when i finally had enough money to buy one of these beauties i was pretty excited. and let me tell you, it lives up to it's hype.

when i got it was in perfect condition with great action and a super easy to attach tremolo.

i use a pretty cheap marshall amp that i've never really been that satisfied with but the instance i plugged in this guitar and played a chord it just brightened up my whole room the.

i just love this guitar and there are so many factors to it. the color is perfect, it stays in tune forever and the tone. omg the tone. i definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a prs guitar.

Beautiful design and gorgeous sound - PRS quality for a great price

Even though it's the most affordable model of the PRS family, this beauty is near perfect. I bought it as an upgrade over my old strat clone and was immediately amazed by the handling, the design and its awesome sound. Perfect for beginners and hobbyist but even seasoned players can find it appealing.

What's in the package:

The guitar came fully set up from the factory, instantly playable after unwrapping and tuning. In the package you can also find a little tool set for adjustments and the tremolo arm.

Handling:

Very comfortable to play, I really like the wide-thin neck profile and for me the factory setup was just perfect with nice low action. Comes with .009-.042 gauge D'Addario XL strings, easy to bend and sounds nice with a lot of treble.

Sound:

Well what can I say, I'm really amazed by how this beauty sounds. Look at the official video - it's that good, yes. Pickups are the upgraded 85/15 "S"-es, nicely balanced and well defined - you can hear all the individual strings in all settings, no smearing, very clear, very harmonic.

In split coil mode you get a bright, nearly acoustic sound (especially with both pickups on), while in humbucker mode it can shred with a lot of punch. Together with the great tone control this guitar offers tons of tonal options making this a super versatile guitar.

Build and design:

I love the finish (everything sounds better in blue! :) ) and again, despite this being a 'budget' model, it does not mean any compromise in build quality.

Cons:

The only negative I noticed is that it tends to get out of tune. After playing a 2-3 songs, you have to re-tune a few string (G and B being the main offenders on my instance, the others stay pretty well in tune). It's kind of expected though with the basic, non-locking tuners and based on what I read on forums I suspect that the nut might be a culprit, too.

Thus, adding locking tuners and a better nut can be a worthy upgrade for more serious players.

This is why I gave only 4 stars for quality, however, I think this is a minor inconvenience and a small compromise to take to get such a nice instrument for this great price.

Conclusion:

Unbeatable value for the price - this is a basic but great sounding, quality instrument you can't go wrong with.
