Hi!
Can someone please tell me the major differences between the SE Custom 24 2017 and 2024 models?
Thanks a lot.
 
Slight changes to the body carve - 2017: "beveled" top; 2024: "shallow violin carve". Both have 85/15 "S" pickups, but I'd assume slight changes since 2017 - nothing significant. I believe 2017 was the last year of the Korean-made SE's, which IMO (and many others) were superior guitars on many levels compared to the current Indonesian-made SE's. I had a 2017 SE Custom 22 - fantastic guitar for the money.
 
I have a 2019 C24 and a 2023 DGT. The only real difference in construction are the top carves. You can't really feel a difference but you can see the difference in the right light.

Also for some my 2019 is about 1/16 inch thicker than my 23.
 
The new SEs are great. The only real issue I've encountered are tight nut slots, but that is fixed fairly easily.
