Best Used PRS Guitar 2026: 7 Picks

Seven PRS models from $400 to $2800 used — which tier offers the best value at every budget point.

Updated

BEST VALUE
PRS SE Custom 24
$6 on Reverb

PRS (Paul Reed Smith) occupies the middle ground: better built and smoother than Fender, brighter and more versatile than Gibson. The company's ethos is balance.

PRS tiers are clearly defined: SE (Korea, budget), S2 (Korea built with US parts), Core (USA-made). Each tier is legitimate.

PRS SE Custom 24

Best entry · Korean-made · 24 frets · PRS pickups$400–$560 used

Best for: Budget players, excellent quality control

The SE (Student Edition) is PRS's gateway model, made in Korea with solid construction and respectable PRS-designed pickups. The Custom 24 body shape and 24-fret neck give a "full PRS" experience at a fraction of the US-made price. Excellent playability and finish quality for the price. No cheap shortcuts — this is a proper instrument.
