The Paul Reed Smith PRS SE Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Piezo Lake Blue (2026) is the best fit from the options provided, with a listed best new price of £949.
The PRS SE Custom 24 Semi-Hollow Piezo falls within a £1,000 budget. It is the only new guitar in the supplied selection that meets that limit, so this recommendation reflects budget fit rather than a comprehensive comparison of sound or playability.
The Gibson ES-335 Sixties Cherry has a listed best new price of £2,799, putting it outside this budget. If you want more alternatives without raising your spending limit, the Used hollow & semi-hollow guitars list is a relevant place to compare used options.
The Top 10 best-value used electric guitars list can also help broaden your shortlist if you are flexible about body style. For any used purchase, check condition and the total cost before deciding.
