One has a Floyd
.the others don't

[untold nebula]

the 24 quilted and Floyd are self explanatory

the regular 24 has a 5 way switch

the 24 08 has a 3 way switch with mini switch coil split for each humbucker, giving you 8 possible tones, hence the 08

[sudden dock]

Ok, so the 24 08 is more versatile?

[untold nebula]

yes, pretty much

[sudden dock]

I guess it’s probably the best value then out of them

How does it compare to this?

@untold nebula

[untold nebula]

idk

I don't know about mcartys

[silver oriole]

tom bridge, les paul layout, 22 frets

[sudden dock]

Which would you say has more value?

[silver oriole]

neither

theyre different guitars but theyre the same build quality

if u cant decide between which despite their relatively major differences then its because you dont know what you want

its 24 vs 22 frets, tom bridge vs tremolo bridge, 2 volume 2 tone vs whatever the 24-08 has going on

there is no better value proposition between these comparisons

[untold belfry]

No the regular 24 has a 3 way w a single push pull

[untold nebula]

not the se

[sudden dock]

I’m leaning towards the custom and I’ve found this

£50 less and a better colour if you ask me

However I’m unsure as to why it lets you choose between multiple bodies when they all look relatively the same

All the options are from the exact same guitar but the weights and looks of the bodies are all slightly slightly different from one another

[silver oriole]

because some people want the lightest guitar, some want the heaviest, some want a specific figuring pattern

if you dont care then it doesnt matter

[sudden dock]

This is the best one to me

Immediately caught my eye out of the options

[silver oriole]

then you answered your own question of why they fuckin give you options of the same guitar but multiple versions lmao

[sudden dock]

The red is redder and you still get that sunburst

[sudden dock]

I suppose so, I didn’t realise that was a thing though

Cause a lot of the other stores don’t have that option

[silver oriole]

because its a hassle

sweetwater does it

[untold belfry]

Yes the standard 24 the se ce the custom 24 they all have a 3 way

All r se

The nf3 and the silver sky don’t but the 24s all do

[untold nebula]

it has a 5 way

[sudden dock]

I think getting that guitar for £600 is a steal tbh, probably going to pull the trigger

I knew I wanted a PRS SE

[silver oriole]

if you want it, no need to ask me for confirmation

[untold belfry]

Maybe for the usa but this is the se custom 24

Every se I have ever played other than the nf3 and silver sky has had a 3 way

[sudden dock]

Which mf bought it as I was adding it to my basket 😭🤣

It’s gone

Time to choose a different body

@silver oriole Do you know if the trem can be blocked off on the custom?

[silver oriole]

every trem ever can be blocked off

[untold nebula]

I mean it shouldn't need to be

its just a strat style trem isnt it?

[sudden dock]

Just in case

But it should block off no problem anyways, I’ve bought one

This is the one I specifically got

They only have one for each body

As everything they have is at their store, independent company

[untold nebula]

im saying there's nothing to block off

it's a non floating trem

just throw 5 springs back there and tighten the claw up

[sudden dock]

Lowkey forgot

But I prefer a fixed bridge anyways

As I find the tuning stability to be better

[untold belfry]

Prs trems r floating

I don’t think the silver sky is but the rest r

[untold nebula]

ew

[sudden dock]

Oh

I’ll just block it off

[silver oriole]

they can just be decked easily

[silver oriole]

its not even floating in the recessed cavity floyd rose sense

its floating in the way that every other strat tremolo can be floated

its just in the set up

[untold nebula]

oh lol, thats not really a floating trem in the practical sense then

cus you can make it so or not so

i thought i was going insane

[silver oriole]

theres nothing inherently super different about a prs trem set to float and a silver sky set to float

its the same style of setup

adjust the bridge off the body

thats it

[untold belfry]

Yea ik the silver sky one is usually set flat on the body from what I have seen but can float

[untold nebula]

any bridge like that can float

and any bridge like that can be set flat to the body

[untold belfry]

Yes ik

[untold nebula]

so prs trems are not "floating"

[untold belfry]

From the factory tho the custom bridges come floating the silver sky bridges come some flat some floating

[untold nebula]

ok but its a moot point because you can literally change that in 30 seconds

misleading way to say that

[untold belfry]

The custom bridge does have a spacer in there bc it was designed to be floating it wasn’t ment to be set against the body but it can be

The silver sky does not
