I just got one PRS CE 24 from Guitar Center. They matched musicianfriend price and they had it in stock. They were surprised that it was 500 off, since they never saw one with the type of discount...

I was thinking the same thing. When I've looked into getting a PRS, the CE24 is the one I always see recommended. I will probably end up getting one myself, and 1500 bucks new is a pretty tempting...

I highly suggest PRS's value line of guitars. I think it is called the SE 22. For the money, they are nice. You are still buying a $500 guitar, but the attention to detail is better than what other...

The idea that people are drawn to Epiphone due to endorsements certainly shows that endorsements are just marketing.

This isn't an SE though, it's an S2 USA. All models explicitly state veneer or solid figured maple top. This one is vague, which is unlike PRS, so I'm not sure.

I personally used to love the look at the PRS - i wanted one so bad 10 years ago. Now IMO it hasn’t aged well. It does look like a product of the 2000’s. It has a bit too much flare and comes off...

I think the best way for someone starting off to go is to find someone they know that plays. Have them help shop for a guitar in person. Hiring an instructor to do that isn’t a bad alternative.
