No need to limit oneself. Get some of each!
Brand-ism and anti-brandism are both silly, find stuff that is well-made and appeals to you aesthetically within your budget, regardless of what's on the headstock...my personal favorite is the vox teardrop so fender and gibson are just side pieces on my roster anyway
gear acquisition syndrom!!!!
Oh if I only had the budget and space for all of them!
This guy gets it.
Holy SHIT! Baxter, your hair looks awesome! WTFFFFF?
I thought the phrase “ drinking the Kool-Aid” was from the book “ The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test” by Tom Wolfe which is from the 60s. I like all of the brands including boutique builders. I want all of them!
Nope. Google Jonestown.
Nope. Jim Jones.
@@jonathanbaggs4275 the line was first used in that book. That’s a fact.
BTW, I really liked this episode! You guys are at ground zero to view all of us, lol! I'm a Fender (and yes, John, I have a Paramount Acoustic), Taylor, and PRS (but I have left Fender now for PRS). I guess I'm spread across. Buuuuut! I ain't play'in no damn Martin's (He says as he spits on the ground)... 😅 12:22
PRS and Gibson's price points command such a big leap of faith that it attracts people that will go the fanboy route.
Haters are so strong because the group that doesn't want to make that leap (or have made the leap and were disappointed $😬🔥$) are going to grow at a bigger rate than those that have.
I think Gibson is the most loved and hated brand out there
Gibson is the Harley Davidson of the guitar world - This is not a compliment
Ugh, I love my Gibsons and this is accurate...
And yet a legion of greats play them or have played them because they're just so rotten and worthless. I love mine along with my Epiphone and Kramer. I started with a Kramer thanks to Eddie, received my SG as a gift and I got the Epiphone LP 2-3 years ago just to have as a banger that I can drag around and not cry about if it got stolen.
I don’t know if a particular brand pops out above the rest when it comes to fan boys, but there is certainly a large group of people who love to hate Gibson
Love my Les Paul and love the history but Gibson has become it a little. Prs is worse. Fender people all pretend to be SRV.
I would say Fenders are the Harleys because you can customize them so much. Gibson guys want their stuff original. When's the last time a guy kept his Harley stock?
Rickenbacker is way up there.
Good call. Although I sold mine.
Gibson, Fender, Martin, Taylor and Esteban. I have several of each and they are great.
I have all the Esteban guitar.
The most aggressive fanboys are the "Yeah well my $200 guitar I got on Amazon is just as good as any Gibson/Fender!"
Oh my god, the Orangewood fanboys are the worst, they seriously think their $200 plastic feeling guitar is better than an American Martin and if you say anything bad about the brand they attack you. I owned an Orangewood, it was the worst guitar I ever played.
for us BASS Players, id have to say Fender wins in that category..
Agreed I have 2 fender bases and my hofner
Because Gibson can't make a Bass to save their lives😮
One small exception music man stingray, But I considered that too be just as much a fender as is the P and J .All the best
@@marcel-jt3dy Music Man is good but they are more boutique now then they used to be. I'm a big Sandberg fan now a days
@@marcel-jt3dy And don't forget G&L started by Fender too.
Acoustic it’s for sure Martin.
I agree with that .
I gotta be honest, Martin guitars just sound the best to my ears. Taylor guitars are the prettiest for sure.
I love the sound of Martin's but they never feel comfortable in my talent less hands.
I feel obligated to since I live less than 2 hours from the factory in Nazareth. I dream of getting one, and I can get it there, and they have a service shop as well! No reason to go to a repair luthier when I can go to the luthiers that made it.
Fender for me! Guilty as charged! I have been at it for quite a while, and a Strat with a Princeton Reverb works so well for me personally. In another note, I think most guitars can go from good to great with a good set up from a Luthier. I will say, the best quality guitar out of the box I’ve had is an EBMM. I just didn’t love the guitar.
As a lefty....we aren't fanboys of any makers we just pray we would be considered when they make cool stuff. Not just another made overseas on a "new" color. Hell they don't even make left handed "artist" guitars when the artist is left handed!
AMEN!🙏🏼
I feel that. I’m a fan of companies that make cool left handed guitars regardless where they’re made. We don’t get enough love. I mean, we only get the MIM Kurt Cobain signature model. We don’t get the cool burst top Les Pauls, we only get an SSS setup on strats. We get shafted.
Testify!
@Baxter How're we supposed to tuck our guitars in at night? Did they FINALLY bring back the blanket? (only REAL guitar nerds will know "the blanket", lol)
My favorite words have become it’s nice but not as good as my PRS 🤷♂️😂
I love PRS, and I also love Fender and Gibson too. I don’t think I could tie myself to one brand exclusively. I own one from each brand (though Fender will soon move up to two once my custom shop arrives, thanks to you fine people) and they all get play time as they give me something different. Sure, there will usually be one that gets more use than the others, but even that fluctuates over time as my mood or needs change. I guess I just want all the guitars.
I’m a PRS fanboy for all the reasons mentioned. But I also like others. If I’m going to battle it’s got to be a PRS.
The fact that you guys never seem to run out of topics makes this channel endlessly entertaining.
Lol, they ran out of topics years ago, half these videos are them discussing the lastest Netflix show.
Nailed it- PRS has the biggest fan cult/all positive, but Gibson BY FAR if you add the “haters”
You nailed it!! Gibson haters are the biggest cult. I was thinking it, but thought you'd never say it :) Gibson haters have some serious drive.
You know for years I could not figure out the PRS fans. Like I'm sorry but they've just never done it for me. And here's the ironic thing. I stumbled across a PRS model while looking for something with a piezo. The Hollow Body II in Peacock Blue. Such an odd ball guitar for them for sure. And yet the dang thing has become my primary live guitar. And true to its odd nature I use it in an odd way in a rock outfit with two female singers with classical backgrounds doing our version of old school rock meets modern. Still to this day not found a single PRS that I like outside of this particular guitar. Still get crap from PRS players on not liking them yet playing such an odd guitar. I mean if I was going to be a fan boy for anything it would be to my two different Variax guitars although the PRS was purchased to play live so they can stay home now that Yamaha has stopped making them. Sad days there
No matter where you go, there you are and it's Fender.
I think you hit on something that was very perceptive: The most dedicated cult is not one of the positive cults, it's the Gibson hater cult. As for me, I went through a phase where I'd only take a Mesa Boogie out any time I was playing, but recently, I've converted to being a believer in Dr. Z amps.
If I remember correctly, Fender started off making amps. How many PRS and Gibson owners play their guitars through Fender Amps? Enquiring minds want to know.
I don't like the PRS neck profile. Lord knows I have tried to love me a PRS, I've owned a half dozen but parted with them all. I want to try a McCarty 594 before I completely turn my back on them though.
Gibson, Fender and Martin, although PRS is moving in. Don't get me started about the Taylor fanboys. Guitars made by robots for players who wear shorts.
Harley Benton owners have a compulsive need to explain how their $300 guitar has “better specs” than your $3000 guitar. Drives me nuts.
The real serious cult fans belong to Rickenbacker and Collings...both American companies that sell everything they make, never put guitars "on sale" and don't have an off shore brand. I've met Collings fans in Austin, Texas and they were some serious folks, and rightly so. I really want a Collings 290 S.
I love how Slash basically saved Gibson, yet he didn't play one. Sadly the markets has been flooded with Slash signature models... new ones come out each month.
As a Fender fanboy, #Fboi4lyfe I felt emptiness inside when you didn’t mention our team’s amplifiers. My amp best amp. You amp based on my amp. You amp just want be my amp. /s EDIT: before you can tell me this vid was just about guitars - electric guitars without the electric are just really crappy acoustics. My amp is your sound hole.
Obviously, the answer is Gibson and I’m one of the brainwashed fanboys.
Watching this fan boy video holding my Ibanez with a confused look.
Mine is in the closet. AS73 Tobacco burst. Needs more respect.
Strandberg in my hands, but I’m feeling the same.
@@garyelmenthaler1608 AF75 here
Martin is hands down better than any other acoustic. Not even close. Gibson maybe second with that j45. I actually don’t play electric much but I do have a PRS and really it’s incredibly beautiful and the sound is so clean and nice. But you can’t go wrong with fender obviously.
Martin is the king of guitars!!!
I own the following basses... Wal MK1, Fender Master Built Jazz, Warwick Master Built Thumb, and Spector USA NS4, but when I buy guitar, it's 100% PRS... I have a "Core Special" and a "Private Stock" 594 Hollow Body I with Brazilian Rosewood, and. treasure them both a lot!
I like Taylor more for acoustic, personally. Martin’s sound amazing but I just haven’t played one yet that felt right in my hand.
I would never,,jk
I am a PRS Guy thru and thru - being from Maryland living close to the factory - knowing most of the 450 employees that work there and having many convos with Paul smith and Paul miles, Bryan ewald and the like I can tell you that the reason I love prs is probably the same reason people loved fender back in the day ….. they got to talk to the guy that made their guitars … everyone there LOVES and breathes guitar building. And every single one I have gets used every single show …
Now with that being said …. I have a guitar vault … I carry about 9/12 guitars with me on any given run …
6 or 7 are PRS guitars in various tunings and specs …. But sometimes I need a strat … sometimes I need a tele …. Sometimes I need an SG with P90s … sometimes the songs dictate something I need that outweighs the guitar that I’m the most comfortable on …. But I’ve found as long as I love my guitars and the way they play when I buy them and I set them up to my specs … it’s all good … my HOME BASE is prs …. But I have many of other guitars I can use and don’t feel dirty about it if for 2 songs in my set I need my strat 😎🤘🏻 all love .. and Paul will tell you that too … he LOVES all the old guitars .. and never gives us shit if I have to diverge from the prs flag for a specific tone … partly cuz I think that confidence in knowing that I’ll always need and come back to my prss … it’s part of my sound and my records at this point to the point where if I don’t play a prs in the studio … people that arnt me can tell 🤣
Gibson probably for both. Most loyal and most hated.
That's it!!!
No Mention of G&L? G&L owners will drink the Kool-aid if asked
PRS is in no way a "big 5". They are minnows. ESP is bigger internationally than PRS.
Not to their FANactics.
I’ve accepted that I’m a Brian May Guitars fangirl. Only guitar company I’ve bought their lifestyle gear, too. 🤦🏼♀️
I’m with you on that. I have the Brian May red special and it’s the greatest guitar ever made. It’s so comfortable to play and its sounds lend themselves to be used on any genre, so versatile.
@@itslikethesamebutdifferent8020 So true! The whole stigma of “you only play Queen songs in a Queen tribute band” is so wildly false because it’s a really, really versatile guitar. You can do funk, classic rock, Shoegaze, r&b, hard rock… hell, I don’t play metal but I know of people who play metal on a BMG!
I got the Special first, but then I got an Arielle. The fit and finish on my Special is better, but the Arielle is my new favorite. It’s got all of the Red Special DNA (including the short scale), but it’s way more ergonomic: modern c neck with 0.82” neck depth at the first fret, smaller body (which I appreciate since I’m 5’3” and the Special swallows my entire torso up to my armpit) and the tone and volume knobs swapped so the volume is closer.
Now I use my Special for drop D tuning. 😊
Am I halucinating or is Baxters hair becoming more tame with every recent video?
I like the old Hair, disheveled and messy with a hint of Albert Einstien stylings. It adds Credability.
nothing can add credibility to that BS-master
If you're gonna talk to me about guitars or aliens the wilder the hair the more valid your opinions are to me.

@@joeydurant6267 Sage Words my Friend, Sage Words.
I have them all, and then some. My favorite is always…my next one (which is a Taylor 324ce Builders Edition). I also have a real thing for Ovation. I have over 65 guitars. 😊. I will never be any brands fanboy.
I’m a MAFA fan!
Make America Fender Always 😎.
With that being said, my 3 favorite guitars are not Fenders.
Fender fanboy here. I like a bit of everything, but Fender first, both in guitars and amps. I'm also an Electroharmonix fan. For acoustics, as a Canadian, I have a soft spot for Seagull. Good guitars at reasonable prices.
Seagull very underrated.
You guys forgot about the Ibanez fanboys too!
THese guys only care about American brands unfortunately
I recently bought two Taylor's and a PRS when updating my guitars. Nothing to do with being a fan boy of either brand, I considered them to be a wise purchasing decision. Both brands are easy to get hold of, reasonably priced (for what you get) and excellent quality. The QC and consistency is much better than on some other brands and they are run by guitar nerds (unlike some big name brands).
I'm pleased with my purchases and especially the support I got from Taylor. Many of Taylor's accessories are excellent quality too so they won me over. My PRS is also excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another guitar from them, maybe not an acoustic though.
Who knows which brand will win me over in the future. I used to like Ovation and Takamine, now not so much. I was a big fan of Martin but while I think they still make some of the world's best acoustic guitars what they are putting out in my price range doesn't quite do it for what I want.
I bought the cheapest Gibson they sold in 2022. A Les Paul Special Tribute Humbucker model. It made me a fanboy.
TBH I'm a Guitar Ho 🎸 🤪 I love 'em all 🤪
I am 100% a Jackson fan boy because I was able to take my JS22 a $200 guiatr out of the box a few months ago... Tune it a little and play with it being perfectly set up to spec and very mid... it has great pickups and well crafted and chosen body, neck, stings, bride and maybe tuners and again was made to be very mid great for me a beginner to learn what I like... And I hear they got this from listening to fans and all their guitars now are like this... Which the most expensive Jackson is about $5k and the cheapest $100 and are avable every where and that includes the custom shop... Like What I don't get is how they slip under the radar so much and way Fender their parent company is not as good?
I've never played a guitar that I didn't like. I just like some better than others.
I have no horse in this race, but I’m vehemently opposed to whoever restrung that Strat @ 1:48. My OCD is screaming out “cut that sh..!”
By volume of loudness Martins on acoustic's and Gibson's on electric then you got Fender and Ibanez that have a specific feel against your body. That fifth spot though PRS and Taylor would have to battle it out maybe a cage match.
This is pretty much exactly the same for me. However I do not like PRS at all and would never buy one.
Gibson - because we spend too much on guitars and our fragile egos are on the line.
Gibson has a class of snobs based on the sheer unaffordability of Gibsons, which is amusing given that Suhr and PRS can be just as if not more expensive. Their other, more normal fanboys I can better understand, as Gibson does offer some of the best, most iconic sounds available. Fender fanboys I can also understand, as the Start is probably the most ergonomic, most versatile electric available, and the Tele and Mustang (not to mention Jazz & Precision basses) have iconic sounds. And I agree with PRS fanboys that PRS guitars are THE most consistent, best built American guitars - although I personally don't own any. Even during the recent SE blowout, there was always something I wanted more. I can most easily understand acoustic fanboys though - acoustic guitars have their own specific sounds which aren't reproducible to the extent of electric guitars.
My last guitar was an Eastman. My next guitar will be an Eastman.
Eastman’s are awesome, I own a few Martins but bought a used Eastman short scale dreadnought a few months ago. It’s all wood, addy top & mahogany back and sides, limited edition and handmade and was only $1,000. I love it, and even though I’m kind of a Martin fan girl, I have to admit that it comes pretty damn close to a Martin at a fraction of the price.
ESP!! We’re a cult. I’m addicted to them. Custom Shop and even standard series Japan made are sick. ESP USA is killer.
Got 5 Suhrs and 2 Suhr Amps... damn, i am a fanboy!
Suhr is just a boutique Strat. 😢
Biggest Fanboy fanbase is Gibson. They cross the electric AND acoustic like no other.
HEY! I play a Fender Acoustic Electric @ Church...LOL.... Love the guitar, great sound and BEAUTIFUL CURLY MAPLE FINISH. But, I do know what you mean.....not all guitars are created equally.😎
Long live the Atari 2600 and Tank!
here is how much of a PRS fanboy I am... when I wanted an HSS and PRS did not make one I got a Knaggs :)
My cult is Made in Korea... Squires & Epiphone Les Paul's. Built between 1980-2006. Inexpensive and solid.
And Peerless archtops and Epiphone Casinos.
Over the years as a TV/Film (de)composer I’ve wound up with guitars with very specific sounds. (Yes, I toured with bands for many moons). Therefore, I’ve got some of what you spoke of. But, I think the elephant in the room is what the “sub” brands of the “Majors” are turning out that have really remarkable sounds and build quality. (I’m talking from the $1k area and below) The three most stunning I’m not afraid to take into a bar gig are: The DGT SE, the Epi Bonamassa SG Custom (it was an open case discount from GC) and the one that probably surprised me the most is the Squire Paranormal Nashville Strat. (It was a blemish unit that had been sent back to factory and assigned a new serial #. )
I like to look at that crazy high dollar stuff but, I need tools to werk with, not something I’m gonna freak out about if it gets a scratch.
McPherson is number six. I play McPherson Carbon Fiber exclusively for acoustic.
My first guitar was a Fender super Strat. SSH mahogany body American deluxe… I loved that guitar… still do… then I discovered PRS. I LOVE my custom 24, it was the guitar I busted my hump for all summer at my first job to get. I will never sell that guitar, I have an emotional attachment to it. It’s special to me because I worked so hard for it and it was a defining moment of my youth, saving for my first big purchase at my first job.
And yes, I can’t stand Gibson.
I love them all, Gibson, prs, fender. Just like different amps,
🔥GAS IS REAL‼️🔥😂👍
Why did people use to drive Fords only , or Chevys only ,or Dodges only .........
Yamaha is on the horizon for a range of acoustic and Electric.
There’s only 2 , Martin and Gibson…For Acoustic it’s definitely Martin but for electric I would say Gibson but only for their electric guitars.
*NO SHADE TO FENDER AT ALL, I LOVE TELES TO DEATH BUTTTTT....*
They feel like toys compared to Gibson and PRS. That being said, I do love toys - its just the craftsmanship that comes with set-necks and carved tops that makes the comparison feel that way...
...Also, PAF's, am I right?
Gibson, PRS, Ibanez…( and some others ) have fanboys. But Fender is inevitable.
PRS fans are the most anal about their guitars, if it even has a small mark on it they are like I can't play that it's not mint. Im a PRS guy but I look at them as utility instruments and everyone of my guitar has a flaw and I'm like oh well I play them for a paycheck not to look at.
PRS FOR THE WIN!!!! Jonathan is totally right.
You should see the Rickenbacker crowd! I'm one of them, but generally speaking, they're super nuts and antisocial!
Gibson CS LP, Mark Tremonti PRS, Corey Wong Stat are my favorite..
Martin is the most cultlike 100%. I love PRS guitars but own similar numbers of Fender and Gibson.
Hey guys, thanks for the Mornin' Soft-Core Guitar Porn! I owe you a solid, what a relief! lolin' out loud!
The guitar that I play most often is the CEO 7.I I bought at Casino,followed by my D-18GE. I have many others including an old Washburn Tanglewood, an old Alvarez, an old Harmony...I do like Taylor's practices in a point. I have never found one I wanted. I first played a Taylor in '76. It was all bling and no sing. Not much has changed. I have 2 dreadnoughts, 2 00, 2 000,and a quad 0 that get playtime too. I haven't played my electric guitars in a while...
You should present PRS with an actual physical trophy. You could make it a Yamaha Pacifica with a piece of plastic with "Fanboy Cult Follower Winner 2024" written in Sharpie.
I have one Gibson (E2 Explorer from ‘82 in tobacco burst), my beloved Strats and a BUNCH of acoustics that are NOT Fenders. Lol. I guess at this point, I’m a Fender and Harmony fanboy.
PRS is the highest quality at all price points...but I don't like them.
I suspect the hardcore PRS fans are reacting to the incessant comments of "no mojo", etc. Fwiw, I own Tuttle, Suhr, PRS and Martin guitars.
At this point, I'm way into personalization and DIY/kit/parts builds.
Of my branded guitars, I've gone through a lot of phases. PRS is my #1 for sure, then it's Fender-alikes. Never been a huge fan of Gibson. Have 2 Strandbergs. Honestly my "collection" is a mess; it's more built around functionality and uniqueness. But definitely as far as body and headstock shapes, Fender dominates.
I always like your topics and then you do strange things like exclude ibanez
I have tried many guitars form all the brands you mentioned. For electric guitars, I keep going back to Schecter. I recently got a Schecter Van Nuys PT. It's amazing. It's sexy looking, well balanced, comfortable to play, and sounds amazing. Where's the Schecter fanboy club? I want in. =)
Novo Guitars has replaced Fender, Gibson, PRS, and any others. That opinion is after 40 years of playing guitar. And it's not even close!
3:59 It is but who outside of guitars and certain mustians know they are a thing? Like when most opeople think of a guitar is a Stratocaster and from back to the future to fortnight the strat is the eguitar. Now do they know what a fender is? No but still.
Ok. Here is how I see the cults playing out
1)Fender - All the guys(and gals) from the 60s who got completely burned out on the Les Paul Resurgence and were like "Give me something NOT Les Paul(and by extension SG)" They also piled in when they looked at the other brands and said 'Wait! I have to get an AMP from another brand? Nope...Hello Fender" Plus they love Hendrix and think Clapton "Wised up" when he went to a Strat. The funny thing is, all the BLUES purist play Fender...even though their HEROES played Martins and Gibsons!! >:) I am talking the guys BEFORE Clapton, Mayer, SRV......
2)Gibson - All the purist. The guys who think Fender are "Those weird Country Guitars" Believe there is no sound a Gibson cannot attain and can't understand HOW anyone plays anything else. Plus when they wanted an acoustic they went "Phhh! Gibson has the BEST there is" They do not like Clapton as he is a traitor and moved to an "Inferior product" They also dont understand WHY the Blues Guys dont play GIBSONS?!?!
BTW these two factions will occasionally meet in a dark alley and have the "What Guitar REALLY made Jimmy Page" debate/rumble.
3)PRS - Those who rail against conformity. They dont want Grandpas guitars but they WILL not play pointy ones(Jackson, Dean, Schecter, Ibanez, Yamaha). Although they kind of ALL lost credibility with me when they went mental over a STRAT with a different headstock(Anyone who purchased one of those things needs to realize they can shut UP now about Epiphones headstock not being identical to Gibsons.....you now own a STRAT with the wrong headstock). They want the Les Paul, Tele and Strat sounds out of something that looks NOTHING like them. They dont want to be associated with that "Old Man" music!
4)Martin - "What is this thing you call an E-Lec-Tric Guitar now?" You want to see their fanboys, go watch Dylan play electric at Newport...EVERY guy gnashing their teeth at him is a die hard Martin Fanboy. If Martin ever releases an Acoustasonic Martin...you will hear the collective screams.
5)Taylor - See PRS. They dont want Grandpas Acoustic. Their young, Their Hip and they're sustainable.....The T5? SHHHHH! We dont discuss that. Bob had temporary insanity. They acknowledge the E -Lec -Tric but only because some idiot in their band INSISTED he had to play one.
You forgot one though
6) GRETSCH!- These guys think Gibson and Fender are NUTS. All you need is one Hollow Body and One Semi Hollow Body. This Brand not only has whole SPACES devoted to it in some circles but whole GENRES of music! YOU play Rockabilly on a Strat or Les Paul and tell me it sounds right... ;)
BTW...I think Gibson Wins. Tell ME where the Fender or PRS or Martin or Taylor GARAGE is?... THATS my definition of rabid fandom. Gibson built two CHURCHES for its fanbase! Plus what other brand has a guitar LITERALLY known as "The Holy Grail"(59 Les Paul) and sells for the price of a HOUSE?!
Gretsch got closer since they had a GRETSCHWORLD at one point in time.....seriously...look it up.
Don't laugh, I own a Fender acoustic. It's a Fender Palomino, I bought new in 1969 and I still play it all the time
IMO Gibson fanboys win this guys. That obsession with vintage correctness is something that is beyond me Lol.
*looks at the BMG Special I just bought this week and pats the headstock* It’s okay. You’re special in your own way.
I'd say you missed the biggest cult following in ESP. Us metalheads take this shit seriously. Once you own even a good 1000 series LTD, there's no turning back.
Gibson fanbois for electric. Martin aficionados for acoustic. The difference? Martin actually is still amazing! Gibson lives only on their past,
Without a doubt, the companies with the biggest fanboys are Martin for acoustics and G&L for electrics.
The PRS thing is mostly true. I used to be a hardcore Fender fanboy. Then I played my first PRS, an S2. WOW. It was like coming up for air lol. The great thing is it took me out of my Fender only coma. Now I’m big into Gibsons, and I never thought I’d be into them. Just bought my second Reverend too. Interestingly, a close friend is hardcore Gibson hater. He cracks me up because I know he’s just mad that he doesn’t own one.
Each episode should be called “How Long Does It Take For Baxter To Get Off Topic?”
Im still waiting for the Mick Ralphs' strat😬
I own three Fenders (one’s an acoustic…lol), a squire, a Taylor and a PRS…and the one I play the most is the PRS. It’s just a dream to play, so much so I have another PRS on order. I’m not exclusively a PRS fanboy but they’re just so nice to play, I feel like I don’t have to work as hard.
I love my PRS, Gibson and Epiphone guitars. All of them are great and I don’t get angry because someone doesn’t agree with me. Play what makes you happy and don’t worry what someone else plays.
