Yes. Every price on Northgate Music Co. includes UK VAT at 20%, and a full VAT invoice is emailed with your dispatch confirmation. There are no import duties or handling fees on UK orders.

Will it need a set-up when it arrives?

No. Our workshop completes a full set-up before dispatch — truss rod, action, intonation and fresh strings — and includes the measurements in the box. UK humidity changes may call for a small seasonal tweak later on.

PRS’s Delectable 24-08 Meets the Affordable SE Line

Playability, tone, looks, and affordability: you’ll find it all in the PRS SE Standard 24-08. The SE Standard 24 has been a favorite for years thanks to its focused tone, straightforward aesthetics, and top-tier quality. Today’s SE Standard 24-08 wraps all of that into an attractive, value-packed instrument with extended versatility that sings with articulation and warmth akin to those legendary vintage rock tones. A pair of TCI-tuned “S” humbuckers dishes out crystal clarity with plenty of power to bring the heat when necessary. Just like PRS’s other 24-08 models, the SE Standard 24-08 features a pair of mini toggles for shockingly lifelike acoustic tones at the flick of a switch. Add in the Wide-thin neck profile, PRS patented tremolo, and iconic Birds inlays, and you have a fantastic instrument that is unmistakably PRS.

Classy, yet subtle appearance

This PRS SE Standard 24-08 displays its mahogany construction proudly through its stunning translucent finish, the wood grain assuring you of the natural tones that are to come. Around the perimeter of this guitar, you’ll find binding that sets the top and back of the guitar apart in a truly artistic manner. As your eyes move up the SE Standard 24-08’s rosewood fingerboard, you’ll find the company's iconic Birds in flight inlaid in beautiful mother-of-pearl. And Paul Reed Smith’s signature adorns the headstock to complete this guitar’s exquisite look.

Solid construction and hardware deliver amazing playability

The all-mahogany body of the SE Standard 24-08 gives you warm, detailed tones that make your music jump out of the guitar. Its maple neck has a wide-thin carve, making it very fast and playable. And the distinctive neck joint means you can reach all 24 frets easily for stellar high-fret access. The hardware is, as always, very stable and dependable. Take it from Irvine Art & Music— you can count on the PRS-designed tremolo and tuners to keep the SE Standard 24-08 in tune while allowing you to express yourself at home, onstage, or in the studio.

PRS TCI-tuned “S” pickups offer remarkable clarity and tonal range

Whether you’re chording or deploying a searing lead, playing through this guitar’s TCI-tuned “S” pickups is a rewarding experience. By undergoing PRS's TCI (Tuned Capacitance and Inductance) tuning, the team at PRS has leveraged their years of know-how to sculpt the sound to be perfect to their ears. The result? A very musical pickup that’s true to its lineage but updated for the modern player. From shimmering cleans to blistering high gain, the clarity and extended tonal range provided by these humbuckers make this 6-string an ideal workhorse guitar. Throw in a pair of mini toggles for independent coil-splitting capabilities, and these impressive pickups can handle anything in their way.
