The SE line is the most accessible way into a Paul Reed Smith: the same designs as the American models, built overseas to PRS specs and quality control. We stock SE versions of the Custom 24, CE 24, McCarty 594, Silver Sky, and more, and every one gets the same inspection and setup as our five-figure guitars.

About PRS SE

PRS launched the SE line in 2001 to put its designs within reach of more players, and it has grown into a full mirror of the American catalog: SE Custom 24, SE CE 24, SE McCarty 594, SE Silver Sky, semi-hollows, and signature models. SE guitars are built overseas to PRS designs with PRS-designed pickups and hardware, then checked to the company's specs. For many players an SE is the first PRS; for plenty of pros it is a workhorse they gig without worry. Our SE selection rotates quickly at these prices, and every listing is the exact guitar you will receive.

Frequently asked questions

Are PRS SE guitars real PRS guitars?

Yes. SE models are designed by PRS in Maryland and built overseas to PRS specifications with PRS-designed pickups and hardware. They are the official entry point to the line, not a licensed copy.

What's the difference between SE, S2, and Core PRS guitars?

SE guitars are built overseas and are the most affordable tier. S2 models are made in PRS's Maryland factory with streamlined appointments. Core models are the full American spec with figured tops and premium electronics. Each step up refines wood grade, construction detail, and hardware.

Do SE guitars get the same setup as expensive guitars?

Yes. Every guitar we sell is inspected and professionally set up before shipping, whether it is an SE or a Private Stock.
