2025 Core Custom vs Core Standard Tone

[detuned]

Has anyone heard a core custom 24 and core standard both with DMO pups in the flesh?
I'm considering either the custom or standard and want the warmer sound and can't demo them side by side (yet).

The PRS site says about the standard: "Its all-mahogany construction promotes a warm, full, midrange-forward tone"
Listening to the demo videos on the site the standard does seems warmer to my sus ears, but it's two different players and what looks like slight differences in the amp settings. If anything it looks like the bass is turned a little higher for the standard demo.

The Standard will be more of a low-mid pronounced tone, with a looser bottom...The Maple top of the Custom will provide an upper-mid pronouncement, with a tighter low end...Warm is subjective...
