The poplar burl top is the obvious first impression, and in person it has that dark Whale Blue look that shifts between deep blue, almost black, and smoky figuring depending on the light. It is one of those finishes that looks pretty calm from one angle, then gets wild once the burl pockets and figuring start catching the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition-wise, this one is very clean overall. I would comfortably call it excellent. There are some light finish scratches here and there, but nothing major, and nothing that takes away from how sharp it presents. The neck is clean, the frets are in excellent shape, the fretboard is good to go, and it has been fully checked over. Electronics passed, intonation is spot on, and the setup is low, comfortable, and genuinely fun to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SE Custom 24 platform is a great middle ground because it still gives you the core PRS recipe: 24 frets, 25\" scale length, doublecut body, tremolo bridge, bird inlays, and a fast Wide Thin-style maple neck. The mahogany body keeps it from sounding thin, while the maple\/poplar burl top gives it some snap and attack. The PRS-designed 85\/15 “S” pickups are a good fit in this guitar too — clear enough for cleaner stuff, but still punchy when you lean into gain. The push\/pull tone control gives you coil-split tones as well, so it covers a lot more ground than a basic two-humbucker guitar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat stood out to me:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Whale Blue poplar burl top has a really moody, almost custom-shop look without the custom-shop price\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow, buttery setup that makes this one very easy to play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24-fret PRS feel with a comfortable, fast neck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal pickups\/electronics tested and working properly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpot-on intonation and excellent fret condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight finish scratches only, nothing major or distracting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with the factory PRS SE gig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good one if you want something that looks a lot more unique than a standard SE Custom 24 but still keeps the practical stuff right — easy playability, strong tuning stability, useful tones, and a setup that already feels dialed in. It is clean, comfortable, and has that cool dark-blue burl look that makes it feel a little more special when you pick it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⏳ Quick note\u003cbr\u003eThese guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 1–5 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47154203066539,"sku":"PRS-C24SEPOP-053126","price":660.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/8344\/1579\/files\/59339e50-28fe-4e0e-858a-0155aae71944.jpg?v=1780282859","url":"https:\/\/aeonicfrets.com\/products\/prs-se-custom-24-exotic-poplar-burl-limited-edition-2019-2020-whale-blue","provider":"Aeonic Frets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
