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 that are individual coil taps, helping the guitar achieve convincing single-coil tones. Add in the Wide-thin neck profile, PRS patented tremolo, and iconic Birds inlays, and you have a fantastic instrument that is unmistakably PRS.
