PRS SE 245 Electric Guitar

[agnellone]

hi there! Love the guitar but I can't stand the bridge.. Do you guys know if there's a compatible fully adjustable bridge to replace the stock one? Maybe the Tonepros as in the Akesson model? Any direct/indirect experience?

[NstuffMusic]

@agnellone You could buy the PRS adjustable stop tail piece after market.

[scorpionguitar]

Hey NstuffMusic guys, I wonder if you can tell me how much is the international shipping to South America? I sent you an e-mail, but you have not answered yet.

Thank you! Regards!

[NstuffMusic]

@scorpionguitar We do, we would need you to send us your mailing address so we can give you a shipping quote. We would have to complete the transaction by wire transfer and not with a credit card.

[Overwatch93]

How is this different from the SE Singlecut? Is it for a different style?

[NstuffMusic]

@Overwatch93 It has a thicker body and it's a 24.75" scale.

[bulenterdem1977]

@NstuffMusic 24.5" or 24.75" ???

[NstuffMusic]

@bulenterdem1977 Sorry it is 24.5" scale.

[daniyalahmed97]

This or the Gibson lespaul studio faded????

[NstuffMusic]

@daniyalahmed97 You would really have to play them and compare. Both have strong features!

[NstuffMusic]

@daniyalahmed97 I like the PRS SE 245

[Stratfan68]

Quite possibly the best guitar under $1,000!!!!!

[Zuroff66]

Great, just went and bought one.

[iannyrockwell]

I WANT A VINTAGE SUNBURST!!!!!! WHEN IS IT GONNA BE AVAILABLE!?

[DBatch1990]

How would you compare the neck size compared to say a schecter hellraiser as I'm thinking of swapping guitars in favour of humbuckers instead of actives

[TheAjohta]

I love PRS. they just seem so classy. you think of guys like Santana and Al Di Meola, it's just one of those brands that tell people you're a great player. Even the name, Paul Reed Smith, it just sounds great! Can't wait to get one next year!!!

[unincorporated1]

Does this guitar have the same pickups as the SE Santana? Because they sound similar.

[NstuffMusic]

@unincorporated1 Yes they the 245 design pickups.

[IIlIQuANTuMllIl]

I understand that since they're made in Korea, they aren't made with as much craftsmanship; but are they still made with the extreme attention to detail? i.e. book matched woodgrain? I don't have the money for a true American PRS, but if I get this, is it close enough?

[NstuffMusic]

@IIlIQuANTuMllIl These are import guitar but they are really well built. One of the best import guitars. $639.00 with gig bag at nstuffmusic.

[cdalmeida3]

wow it sounds awesome

[epicfailx66]

i want this guitar, but its too expensive :(

[vanthemon]

What would you say is the difference from a PRS model such as this one compared to a more expensive model such as a PRS SE 250? I know they both have different sounds and different features, but are there any major differences in the quality of them both or is just the features and the specs. that make them more expensive?

[NstuffMusic]

@vanthemon The SE models are made in Korea. The SC250 model has been discontinued but it was made in the USA. The USA models have better craftsmanship.

[gbsons]

How thick is the neck? I was looking at getting this one or a tremonti se.

[NstuffMusic]

@gbsons Both the Tremonti and the SE245 have a wide fat neck shape. The body is thicker on the SE245 which gives it a fuller sound.

[Manolian]

Just got one of these, great instrument for the $.

[Manolian]

The bridge PUP tone seems to sound best.

[krispykrunkdonut]

how would u compare this one to the se singlecut??

[NstuffMusic]

@krispykrunkdonut I like the SE245 much more. Thicker body thicker sound! it has the smaller LP scale length. Very cool $619.00 with gig bag at nstuffmusic.

[krispykrunkdonut]

@NstuffMusic sweet does the thicker body add alot of weight to the guitar?

[NstuffMusic]

@krispykrunkdonut It add a little not too much.

[PieceOfMind56]

Would you say this is a pretty versatile guitar? Because I was looking at this and I play all sorts of styles and genres.

[NstuffMusic]

@PieceOfMind56 It's a great guitar. I has great humbucker sounds. You can not split to single coil tones so if that's something your looking for you it may not be the best choice but if your looking for great humbucking tones it's great!

[PieceOfMind56]

@NstuffMusic Awesome! Because I play everything from Opeth to The Doobie Brothers.

[SpidMovie]

@NstuffMusic Or we can just install push/pull knob to split to single coil? That's a minor install and would increase the possibility of this great guitar, don't you think?

[that1stupidkid613]

@SpidMovie Well, that's assuming that these pickups have 4-way conductors.

[SpidMovie]

@that1stupidkid613 Of course... Anyway, I'm gonna switch the PU by some Seymour Duncan P-Rail :D

[jamesweddle1]

tone wise, is this a vast improvement over their normal se single cut? I know its thicker.....

[NstuffMusic]

@jamesweddle1 Yes it's much fuller sounding.

[MetechStudios949]

Would this be a good alternative to the LP studio? I know it's an import, but seems like great quality

[NstuffMusic]

@MetechStudios949 Yes it's a great guitar.

[joeldification]

which one is better this or se mikael akerfeldt?

[TristanMech]

One-piece neck... How sure are you of that?

[AlexanderLibak]

i dont like his reviews he is kinda masturbading with the guitar instead of playing :(( Paul from Guitar world much better!!

[Willy3794]

@AlexanderLibak NOT AT ALL!!! dont get me wrong paul rario is a phenominal guitar player....he is better in my opinion...but he reviews are nothing compared to this....paul rario uses too many effects and its hard to hear the true sound of the guitars...and he never even sais what gear he is using....this guy uses a pure clean tone with no effects so you can really hear the guitar its self and not the effects

[AlexanderLibak]

@Willy3794 maybe you're right but i simply dont like the way he show us the guitar sound. It is kinda without soul, only scales & scales.. maybe i dont get into jazz scales? :)

[MrHaunted99]

What about it's sustain?Is there plenty of it?

[NstuffMusic]

@MrHaunted99 yes!

[TristanMech]

Can you please comment on the fretwork? What price level of guitar would you put it up against playability-wise?

[NstuffMusic]

@TristanMech It's as good as a American made Gibson or Fender.

[TristanMech]

No belly contour?????

[NstuffMusic]

@TristanMech There is a belly contour.

[NailedSolo]

he's just got out of prison after 12 years

[zillathegorilla]

any chance of doing a demo with some higher gain settings?

[tamirke74]

Very LP sounding,thank you.

[hawg427]

Love the SOLID Birds. The outline ones just don't do it for me. All you need on this video is an eye patch. LOL I wonder how much difference tone wise that you would hear if this was compared to the expensive PRS 245 Model?

Also, is this body Solid or Chambered?

[lmsjr]

@hawg427 haha that was pretty funny ... 'all you need on this video is an eye patch'. I'm personally torn between pirate garb, or prison garb.

[NstuffMusic]

@hawg427 solid body.
