The PRS Paul Reed Smith 2018 SE 245 Standard has a classic voice that is eminently recordable and gig-ready. The 24.5” scale length makes this instrument instantly comfortable to players who prefer short-scale guitars. Classic PRS appointments include a set Wide Fat mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, PRS-Designed stoptail bridge, tuners, and 245 humbuckers. The all-mahogany body is reminiscent of Paul’s first pre-factory instruments and offers a warm, woody tone.

Since 2001, the SE Series has been offering incredible quality and great tone at affordable prices. The introduction of the SE Standard models represents a significant extension of the SE Series into the more affordable price point. The goal of the SE Series has always been to provide a quality instrument to players of all levels – one that would not fight the player, but encourage him or her to start and to keep playing. PRS is proud to extend this promise to an even more attainable price point with the SE Standard lineup.

I am very happy with the way this guitar looks , plays and sounds. it did take me a little time to get use to it . if heavy player, the guitar has one sound , if light playing it has another , both sounds are great and useful. the pic ups are really good, if you want a sweet clear sound turn the am up and keep the volume on the guitar a little lower the pic up over drives easy . if you want more over drive turn you amp down and turn guitar volume louder and it overpowers the amp easy causing it to overdrive. the pic ups are string specific even when over driven. each string can be heard and doesn't all run together. very nice. mine came pretty much set up , played great this is a real guitar and at this price I expected much less, i still don't see how they are selling them at this price a quality instrument. this is a fun guitar and when I need it to be a beast that sings. but that's not good enough for me so i researched how these are made in indonesia and they are made not that much different than the way they are made here in the usa. I might get another one because I don't think this guitar for this price will stay this price long. this guitar is work twice as much as they are asking for.
