Our dedicated staff thoroughly inspects all functions of the instrument before shipment.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nJapan Special\u003cbr\u003e \nThe SE Custom 24, beloved by countless musicians, features a mahogany back and maple top body, a wide-thin-profile maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard, bird inlays, and a PRS-designed tremolo bridge.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt is equipped with 85\/15 “S” pickups, a volume control, a push\/pull tone control, and a 3-way blade pickup selector, delivering a clear and beautiful sound from low to high frequencies.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe SE Custom 24 combines classic and modern elements, offering high durability and a wide range of tones.\u003cbr\u003e \n“Ruby” is a Japan Special model.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAbout the PRS SE\u003cbr\u003e \nDevelopment began when legendary guitarist Carlos Santana—who had been using PRS guitars as his main instruments since around 1982—proposed the idea of creating “a guitar that students could afford, yet still experience the high quality of PRS.” This led to the release of the first SE model, the “Santana SE,” in 2001. Consequently, the SE series is an abbreviation for “Student Edition” and “Santana Edition.”\u003cbr\u003e \nFollowing repeated upgrades and quality improvements, the SE series is no longer merely a budget version; it has evolved into a highly refined guitar praised as “a guitar that can actually be used in professional settings,” establishing itself as a series that expands the appeal and options of PRS Guitars. Production of the SE series began in Indonesia in 2019, resulting in even higher quality than before, and today, there are even collectors dedicated to the SE series.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile there are differences in wood quality, finishes, and parts compared to PRS guitars made in the USA, PRS frequently dispatches engineers to provide direct guidance. As a result, the production line now follows the same manufacturing process as the USA factory.The woods and parts specifically prepared and developed for the PRS SE Series have been optimized with the goal of “how to achieve the best sound quality while keeping costs down,” and as a result, the specifications evolve and improve year after year. This reflects the “philosophy” of guitar craftsman Paul Reed Smith, just as in the USA-made models, and this is the very essence and appeal of PRS guitars.\u003cbr\u003e \nPRS SE Finish and Design\u003cbr\u003e \nPRS features beautifully carved arched shapes, stunningly gorgeous wood grain, and well-balanced cutaway and headstock designs. While paying homage to vintage guitars, the aesthetic beauty of each series—presented as PRS’s new interpretation—possesses a level of elegance that other brands simply cannot replicate.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe finish and color schemes further enhance these magnificent designs. While the PRS SE series uses polyester\/urethane finishes, guitars with flame or quilted tops are colored using a technique called “stain application” before the topcoat is applied, to make the wood grain stand out even more.This technique, epitomized by PRS, involves applying a specially formulated dye directly to the wood using a cloth or similar tool, making the grain stand out more prominently. Of course, due to the natural variations in the wood’s tone, the finish is not entirely uniform; however, the fact that the grain appears distinctly more pronounced compared to other brands is a hallmark of PRS.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBody Construction  |  Solidbody\u003cbr\u003e \nTop Wood  |  Maple\u003cbr\u003e \nVeneer | Flame Maple\u003cbr\u003e \nBack Wood  |  Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nTop Carve | Shallow Violin\u003cbr\u003e \nNumber of Frets  |  24\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wire  |  PRS SE Standard\u003cbr\u003e \nWidth of Fret Crown  |  .104\"\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Crown Height  |  .046\"\u003cbr\u003e \nScale Length |  25\"\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Wood  |  Maple\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Construction | Multi-Ply\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod | PRS Double-Acting\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Shape | Wide Thin\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Depth at the Nut | 13\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Depth at the 12th Fret | 57\/64\"\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Width at the Nut  |  1 11\/16\"\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Width at the Body  |  2 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003e \nFretboard Wood  |  Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e \nFretboard Radius  |  10\"\u003cbr\u003e \nFretboard Inlay  |  Birds\u003cbr\u003e \nHeadstock Logo  |  Signature \"SE\"\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck\/Body Assembly Type  |  Set\u003cbr\u003e \nBridge  |  PRS Patented Tremolo, Molded\u003cbr\u003e \nTuners  |  PRS-designed tuners with wing buttons\u003cbr\u003e \nHardware Type  |  Nickel\u003cbr\u003e \nNut  |  PRS\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod Cover  |  \"Custom\"\u003cbr\u003e \nTreble Pickup  |  85\/15 “S”\u003cbr\u003e \nBass Pickup  |  85\/15 “S”\u003cbr\u003e \nControls  |  Volume and Push\/Pull Tone Control with 3-Way Blade Pickup Switch\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings  |  PRS Classic 10-46\u003cbr\u003e \nTuning  |  Standard (6-string) |  E, A, D, G, B, E\u003cbr\u003e \nCase  |  Gig Bag\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: CTIH073188\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.35 kg\u003cbr\u003e \n* Actual product images are shown, but please note that colors and brightness may appear slightly different depending on your monitor settings.","brand":"PRS SE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51389694673148,"sku":"80-2130000054593","price":113360.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/intl.ishibashi.co.jp\/ja\/products\/80-2130000054593","provider":"Ishibashi Music Corporation.
