Coopers hawk 
Kite 
Sparrow landing 
Storm petrel 
Hawk landing 
Screech owl on a branch (24-fret models only)

The Owl is a Screech Owl. Ironically located on the 24 fret...which will SCREAM.
You're Welcome

That green PRS is just absolutely gorgeous

I love watching the "5 thing you may not know" videos. It helps me fulfill the goal of learning at least one new thing everyday.

Thanks for doing the Custom 24! I've got two SEs and my wife got me an 08 Core for my birthday earlier this month - simply amazing guitars (to me). I knew four of the six, so I learned something about my core guitar and thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thanks again!

The real question is: do you guys know why the birds? Its because Paul's mom was a bird watcher

[happytoo]

I could afford to by myself an “SE” series PRS, it is absolutely amazing, grew up around Fenders, ( father in law played in a band, a duo and at times solo), later on in life I took up play bass and recently guitar, after hearing a PRS I wanted one, but $, especially with teenagers, so then I discovered the SE series, love it great quality control ensures the PRS quality isn’t diminished, love it 👍

#7 - The original "Sweet Switch" in the Custom 24's invoked a circuit that gave the sonic effect of the capacitance from a very long cable run. Highs are muted and midrange becomes more prominent in the sound. It was done at Carlos Santana's request for his guitars and made it into initial production runs.

I recently purchased at C24 ... Its insane. Best guitar i have ever had no question

[glennnmurphy]

I wanted to say thank you for this video! After watching this I bought my first PRS guitar today It's simply amazing ! I've always been a fender / Gibson guy. Simply beautiful super high quality guitar! Thanks so much for your videos ! Love your vidoes ! Lots of love from Canada !

[altrock]

Wow I never new the birds were different. I always thought it was just one bird in different ways

[stankfanger]

Five things you may not know about... me! (1) I can't afford Gibson. (2) I can't afford Fender. (3) I can't afford PRS. (4) I can afford Epiphone. (5) I lied, I can't really afford Epiphone.

Hey Philip. I wanted to say kudos and thank you. You never let me down dude.
Ive been playing 30+ yrs and id like to think I have good knowledge of guitars.
But now when I’m looking to:
1. Purchase/sell/trade a guitar
2 .Get “CORRECT” specs and info..
3. Try to come up with a good-brief-thorough post for selling etc?
There you are. Because there is so much incorrect info out there.
So, in the words of Cosmo Kramer, “Giddeeyup!” And since we’re talking Prs’s, I have had them for yrs. And yes, Prs frets never fail! I’ve asked techs from the big vendors to Boutique shops where Joe Walsh just walked out of. I always ask what guitars give them the least problems when unboxed, New or used from Frets, Setup etc. The answer is always Prs and sometimes Fender. And I learned that Crazy glue is the secret ingredient from heavy repairs to fixing scratches and dents in lacquer. So this explains the glued Prs frets from factory. Ive glued frets in a bind. But now when I Refret? Yep!
Thanks Philip. Keep on doing what you do.

Cool video! Very informative. I own 3 PRS guitars. Custom 24, Hollow Body 1, and 408. Love them.

[arshist]

Thanks for running through the specs as they compare to Gibson and Fender. I own an SE 245, which if I went by, would have never known how the real PRS dimensions are significant. Can't wait to try a 22 or 24!

[ZackSeifMusic]

1-5: Because they’re my favorite guitars to use live🤘 When I upgraded my original Core Custom 24 to a 24-08 it allowed me to use the guitar for any gig out there. I’ve made a few videos on it and it’s seen over 100 shows and rehearsals.

[scarletiv]

Great video mate! So glad I ended up with a CU24 instead of the CU22 I was looking at when I bought my PRS. Especially now that I have an owl on the 24th fret ! :)

[rogerlinville]

I have an older version Core Series with the 5-way knob. Took a while to get used to, but I'm dealing with it. Main thing i didn't know was the super glue under the frets. Details that make PRS the quality instrument they are. Thanks for the video.

[CesarAllGuitar]

Great Vid Philip. You may have wanted to mention the " 10 " that some of the guitars have on the reverse of the headstock mentioning they are " Top 10" in figured Maple top PRS has sooo many things to talk about...Thumbs up!
