The 2018 Standards did add a binding, which I think makes them look a bit more upscale than the 2017 Standards.

Again, speculation, and we're not talking hundreds and hundreds of dollars. This is one thing I don't get about the SE line - why go to the trouble of routing the control cavity to counter-sink the controls cover, but not the trem cavity cover?? Also if there are any slight differences in tolerance, the “over the top” cover, makes up for that. Anyway, hope to hear back from you all.. ive been playing hard and every style for a good 40 years... i'm not new at this...lol it takes a good deal to wow me in a guitar. My new prs se standard 24 2019 in tobacco sunburst! The standard just has mahogany. The main difference between the standard and custom SE's seem to be the Maple cap/veneer and the finishes - the Customs seem to have Maple necks too.

If you order from Sweetwater, you should be able to return the Standard if it doesn't feel the way you expect it to. The Standards are solid mahogany (I believe that's the wood). ). I’ve never heard of Dave’s. The other main question I want an answer to is what is the deal with the cost difference? The Custom has better finishes. They both were identical build quality in my opinion. Personally I like the look of the Customs way more. Is it just that is costs that much more for a maple cap with flame maple, or is it different countries or what? They also added the Paul Reed Smith signature to the … Or....http://www.prsguitars.com/index.php/electrics/se/se_zach_myers_2017, Bought one of these used a few months back and I fully agree with your statement.

FWIW, I have a PRS SE 245 Standard, made in Indonesia, and it's awesome. Price: the custom is about double what the standard is. the standard is made by wildwood in Indonesia. maybe i got lucky, if any issue i have, its the trem spring cover sits on top of the back instead of being nicely routed in..btw, is that the way it is on other prs's? if any issue i have, its the trem spring cover sits on top of the back instead of being nicely routed in..btw, is that the way it is on other prs's?
