Wow Paul - Give that guy a raise. He's a great ambassador for your enterprise.
profxpedals2009 agreed - even if half of it is just PR nonsense - it sure sounds convincing!
He's the Chief Operating Officer of the company!
being a gigging guitarist for many years ,i always went for fender or gibson , i new about prs for years but always passed on them till a few months ago i managed to get my mits on a custom 22 ten top natural, trem & dragon 11 pickups, the quality is amazing ,playing it has given me new energy for the instrument ,thanks PRS ,beautiful guitars .
Got mine PRS for about 1 year now and by today I´m still stunned each and every time I pick this beauty to play. The feel, the sound, the looks, the craftmanship, the way this guitar allows you to play & hear details in the way you are playing...
Of course, the price tag is nothing nearly cheap or something you gonna buy when it comes to your mind. But hands down: it is worth every cent. :)
"Guitars are a recipe." What a great way to describe the build process.
I am 67 years old and in the 70's in Annapolis Md.and Paul was the go to guy for guitar work. He fixed a broken off headstock on my Les Paul special 55 reissue and did fretwork etc and installed a stratoblaster on my Strat. In the backroom of his shop, I saw his prototype of his now iconic guitars cuz I remember that cool shape and lo and behold, he has really made a statement in the world guitar market. Now, the good stuff. I just bought a 2017 PRS SE Custom 24 limited run rosewood 24 with a maple neck and WOW ! Now I get it, for the 700.00 I spent, I feel like I stole this axe! I cannot believe I never got one before this and The sound is incredible, the neck is somewhat Strat but not, the resonance is unreal and the whammy works right.I am already looking towards my next PRS axe and loving it.
observe the attention..the craftsmen are paying to details....awesome
James Cougan lol cause they don't know they're getting recorded right?
Yet gibson still expects people to buy their guitars for the same price
for the camera
In my opinion, PRS is one of the most underrated guitar companies out there. I personally would like to own one.
David McAninch I made the move from a gibson les paul to a prs, best decision I ever made, the prs's quality is just so much better you get more for what you pay
Well thank god for that tone lacquer
My tone neck joint makes my tone much warmer
I once owned a 51 Pickup all customized frame off restoration! When I drove it with just the primer it was slower than after it had a nice layer of candy apple red! Go figure! Pure engineering magic! Lol
"we're like a paintbrush company" Now that is how a president of a guitar company needs to think.
OK I can't afford a core model PRS, so I bought an SE. I have to say that I own several guitar's, Gibson's and Epiphone's and I have always been partial to the Gibson brand and never played a PRS before because I had heard that the SE line was not that good and I am not in the income range fora CE. I went ahead and bought an SE anyhow because I wanted to know for myself just how bad or good they were and I always order on line from American so I never get to play the exact guitar I buy before I buy it. I was so happy when I got my SE yesterday and unboxed it and jammed on it for a while, and I am in love with this guitar now. I cased the Sheraton I usually play and I am now hooked on this guitar. It fuckin playes itself.
Randy Tyson wow man I just ordered mine yesterday. I hope I have the same feels like you... can't wait!
Seriously, you are gonna love it.
Randy Tyson I got my PRS SE 245 a few months ago, and let me tell ya man, it plays circles around everything Ive touched. Came out of the packaging set up, and surprisingly in tune. The Neck is godly, and its got a great sound to it. Only thing Id consider changing about her is the bridge pickup to a Super Distortion, as the stock pickup is not quite my speed.
I can't keep mine in tune
T Shouse sounds like YOU have the problem
When the guy started talking about the process of building a neck, I remembered how I came across my SE. A couple of years ago, I wasn t really fond of PRS guitars, but one afternoon at the store, after a couple of hours of trying all sorts of models and brands (completely unimpressed by lots of the supposedly high end stuff), I went like meh, and grabbed a korean custom 24. I sat down, and my hands immediately adapted to the neck, like a perfect fit. Playing felt natural and effortless, so I guess that's the type of feeling that the guy was talking about.
Which also means that they apply this standard not only to their usa maryland built models, but to their korean line as well.
Btw, a year and a half later, after moving to another hemisphere, switching climate zones and all, the neck didnt warp, tuning stability is still great and the intonation is fine.
I've had my PRS Custom 24 for nearly 20 years, IT NEVER GOES OUT OF TUNE. it sounds great, Ive never had any maintenance done on it and it was second hand. best guitar in the world no doubt
Couldn't agree more. Mine are 30 years old and play like they did when they were new. Never had to do a truss rod adjustment on any of them. Amazing.
Yep locking tuners cost 55$ and are available to everyone
First off I'm a Gibson kinda guy & have been since the early 80s, never really cared for Leo's guitars though I've owned several of them too, Then my son bought a USA PRS CE-22 4-5 years ago & I was impressed at the build quality & the overall quality of the guitar in general.. We ended up selling the PRS later on though.. I like the 25" scale, It's an in between the Gibson 24 3/4" & Fenders 25 1/2".. Paul does know how to build them guitars great.. Try one on for size & you'll get it right away, You get what you pay for on high end guitars.. That being said I have several other guitars other than Gibsons mostly Ibanez & Jacksons/Charvels.. Note: My Les Paul is an M-III with all the single coil sounds of a strat + the LP sounds too.. WIN WIN.. See Avatar.. ROCK ON!! Gary/Hk
This is actually so true, when i got my custom 24 it just immediately felt right, unlike all the ibanez prestiges and jacksons i tried. ( i do have an ibanez rg7 iron label that i like a lot though but it doesnt touch my prs)
The 1 thing i would change about the guitar is the glossy finish on the neck. Satin finish is a million times better.
+GetScaredGaming Satin necks on any guitar whether acoustic or electric are undeniably better. No matter if you sweat or not, the neck on a gloss finish neck will always get sticky and uncooperative at some point. Even satin finish necks can get cumbersome sometimes...
Also, if paying for a PRS at over $1000, I'd try to get it with a satin neck, not ruin a well made guitar for things like that... but to each their own.
Oh, I disagree 100%. A glossy finished neck feels so much better to me, sweaty hands or not. I also play with Fender tortoise shell picks rather than Dunlop Tortex. I simply prefer smooth over rough, even if it means being a bit stickier when wet.
Satin is smooth... much smoother than gloss, but like I said in an earlier post, to each their own!
George Hypotenuse and the Triangles
I like Fender tortoise picks too.

"Paul Smith repaired alot of guitars and cataloged what he saw worked and what wasn't working". That tells me alot about this guy and his product. He's seen woods, electronics and hardware. I trust his ideas and really want one of these guitars at some point.
A month to finish a neck?? No wonder PRS's go for so much money. Keep it up guys!
That's what I call an inefficient use of time.
@@arthurias7693 did you listen to his explanation why? It's pretty intersting. And makes sense. We do the samething in the aerospace industry making turbine shafts and maintaining critical tolerates.
@@arthurias7693 it's not inefficient if it's the only way the product comes out the way you intend it to. That's perfectly efficient.
It is not inefficient. Only the first neck took one month of downtime so to speak. When you do multiple necks at once and start every day a new process you end up with enough supply. Don't see the problem here.
@@delamar6199 Totally agree - its obviously not an issue because there are 'necks' in various stages of the build but there are ALWAYS necks ready to put into the body. Its only inefficient if the bodies are sat waiting for a neck - holding up the production line. If they fit 10 necks a day (for example), you ensure you start 10 necks a day and finish 10 necks a day and move 10 necks a day through to the next stage so that you always finish 10 necks a day and always have Necks ready to be mated so there is never a body waiting for a neck and you also don't need to make 20 necks a day, finish 20 necks a day either because those extra 10 that aren't being fitted a day ends up with 70 necks at the end of the week which take up space. If they can make 20 a day, then its better to move a person on to a different process, maybe to mating necks so you balance the loss of a neck maker with an extra person mating necks. The right balance though should be equal through out - make 10 necks, fit 10 necks fret 10 necks, spray 10 guitars, make and fit hardware to 10 guitars, set up 10 guitars and case 10 guitars for shipping - that's perfect efficiency...
10 btw is illustrative - it maybe 10 PRS Custom 24's a day + 15 Silver Sky Guitars a day etc but the principal applies
I went into this video expecting to see a version of How it's Made on PRS guitars, but ended up enjoying the different direction they took with this video tour. It shows more of the soul behind the factory - the ideals that are the foundation for PRS guitar design and construction choices.
Well I have a 1998 PRS Custom 22. Haven´t played guitars for a long time, moved to bass in my current band, but daamn... This video made me nostalgic about my PRS so I grabbed it, played a bit and WTF - stayed in the case for like 2 years and hell, the guitar stayed perfectly tuned. Just in time guy said about the "neck job", omg, you guys do it right, keep on!
It was great walking through the factory on Saturday at Experience PRS 2016.
People knocking this tour and saying it's an advertisement are just pissed because they don't have this level of dedication and enthusiasm about their job. I own a Gretsch White Falcon and Kramer Pacer Series/American and dismissed PRS previously but now I have more respect for this company after learning they take a month just to make the neck.
i was there in 1986 at namm when ted nuggent jump up on the paul reed smith table at namm and proclaimed to the world heres the amazing paul reed smith guitar and screemed out leads and said it slices it dices it will even xoxox your girl friend,Ted what a sales man and of course what a guitar ! some were i got pics of him too prove it too stares right at me too !
all the employees are like "ugh this fucking guy"
00:50 my heart sank seeing those guitars leaned on the wall like that
awesome... never had a PRS guitar. although.. I have repaired and set them up. the quality. was obvious... I may obtain one...after seeing this..
having had a few guitars...you get what you pay for, like many things. Haven't had a prs,but have a custom shop gibson and j craft ibanez and they are my go to's every time...if i ever got a prs, it would be another go to
I'm pleased with PRS quality. I have a guitar made in 1992, and I literally need to do nothing to it, save changing string and cleaning the smudge out of it. It is still perfect and plays perfect, with all its dents it got in these years :)
I've owned a number of PRS's, and have always been dubious about marketing claims that things 'keep getting better'. Until last week I had a 1991 Custom 24, a Les Paul Traditional and a 2005 Private Stock McCarty 22, but needed to release some cash. From the proceeds I bought a new Gibson Custom Shop R9 and a new PRS 'Paul's Guitar'. The R9 is a massive improvement over my Gibson Traditional... but the biggest shock I had was comparing 'Paul's Guitar' to the Private Stock. Leaving aside the decorative 14-carat bird inlays and Brazilian-rosewood, I have to say that I prefer my new US PRS to an older Private Stock model... it's so vibrant, it literally sings even before I plug it in. I actually regret letting my 91 Custom 24 go far more than the Private Stock, but needs must. On the Gibson-front, I'd say that the Custom-Shop are now turning out some quality reissues, but if I were down to two guitars - 'Paul's Guitar' and my Gibson Custom-Shop R9 - and had to choose between them in terms of feel and connection rather than residual value, I'd keep the PRS in less than a heart-beat. It would be a tough battle between the PRS and my '59 Les Paul Junior though.
The world needs more companies like PRS
You want more overpriced copies of Fenders and Gibsons?
Well, finish make a difference. A have a Fender JB Strat with a really bad finish... it began to split off the body, and than i took it all away it was amazingly huge improvement in sound.
The PRS Santana SE (first year) was best playing guitar I have had. Best neck and feel. Pickups were a little weak but could be swapped for better ones, same for a few other minor components. Asthectically it didn't fit my project at the time so I had to let it go. I know, lame, but they always looks too modern or metal for what I do. Can't imagine how great the top dollar PRS play. Love the passion. I love my Tele, but I think this is the best guitar company today.
Seeing this video after watching the video of a factory tour at Gibson, I am definitely sold into PRS guitars! much much more hand labor compare to Gibson which it seems more machine made. This video just helps me to set my mind.
Nothing any better the best
Interesting how they say it takes a month to make a neck. You cut it and it moves, you cut it again and it moves. Sounds like you need to dry/store your wood longer before using it. Steinway dries their wood for 2 years before using it.
Mark , a Steinway is 10k. A PRS is 2 or 3k. Secondly, they keep it in a kiln for at least 6 months. They know WTF they’re doing I think.
greatest guitars in my opinion.
yes it sound pretty impressive to spend a month on a neck, but really it starts with proper drying of the wood 6 to 8 percent from there the neck blanks need to be sticker, along with the plant being at the proper humidity. This is what keeps wood stable. More of a sales tactic then anything.
my thing is, since i've owned a core PRS, then an SE and an S2 (since the SE and S2 are nowhere close to the core guitars) prs shouldn't brag about how long it they take to make a stable neck when they skimp on alot of other details which cause the vast difference in their great core guitars and the SE and S2.
I like my SE better than the S2 I owned...(which I took back for refund and bought an American Standard Shawbucker Strat...the strat is a BETTER guitar for less money than the S2 custom 24). The S2 just felt cheap in my hands compared to the core PRS guitars, and the Strat ...yeah the pickups on the S2 were hot but they were too hot for the body thickness...they were very shrill and noisy...damn most annoying pickups i've ever owned.
By the way my SE had to be sent to Maryland for warranty issues, it's been up there for over a month and I haven't heard anything from their customer service rep in weeks, he had previously said they'd ship it back last week...wow.
Funny I have played quit a few and come across quit a few neck issues, buzzing and freting out.
So want a PRS as my first ever electric and then a Rickenbacker for that beatles vintage 50s',60's sound. All prs models are beautifully made but I gotta get me one with a wammy.
GOOD video. Too bad fender doesn't focus on neck joints. I've seen many EJ strat with gaps at the neck joint.
Y’all are working that neck dude to death.
Nice advertorial. What's PRS kicking back to you in commissions?
nothing beat Fender Custom Shop!
I love PRS! ❤️
I will be there in about a week!
Not a good tour factory. When I'm watching a tour factory, I want to see how the manufacturer makes the guitar from A to Z, and not listening to a guy who says how great is his compagny.
Who said it was a factory tour? it says inside the PRS factory
@@Josh-ix2ot Nobody said it was a factory tour. @John Silva said it was a "tour factory", whatever the hell that is.
@@JTMarlin8 His last name is Silva, so he's probably some kind of inbred third world filth.
When hes talking about the neck. All the things that go wrong. He's describing every Fender ever made. lol
🤣 you got to be kidding mr. ?
What is the background song? Why do I like it so much? Please
To everyone complaining about PRS prices, you can get a PRS SE for $500 USD.
Ulta Ulla rings if saturnnnn
A craftsman in china/Korea will cost X amount (wages) a person in USA will cost more per week then there is the quality of materials used in USA and those other places. Overall the cost of a PRS might be high but it is helping to keep people in work, as for the profit per guitar well that is the very nature of business, to make money
The finish has a sound and a price
sooo, from what i hear, the SE versions of PRS are all the same woods, same build technique, same electronics, but are sent across seas and built the same way basically to save production costs, then sent back to PRS in the US to have their Quality controll tecs, set up and inspect/approve these guitars before sending them to vendors yo be sold as 1/3 the cost.. does anyone have any validation to this??
No this is incorrect. They are great guitars, but are not made of the same mahogany. Also the figured maple top instead of being a 3/4" cap like an american prs is a very thin veneer on top of plain maple. Now the s2 lines to the best of my knowledge are made in the stevensville factory, and are made of the same woods as the core line, but use import hardware. Hope this helps.
thanks. still not a big enough difference for me to drop 70%more though..
As an owner of both USA artist package and a SE you can't go wrong with the SE I LOVE that guitar. Upgraded the trem and pickups and it's amazing.
tfoshohoe Totally agree. They aren't ever going to be the same as the core models, but they are great guitars in their own right.
so, i played the Zach Myers SE and a american custom 24, I chose the Zach Myers SE. Why? well the $3,900 pricetag was sure tempting over the $650 model, NOT. but honestly, i liked how the SE felt, and honestly sounded better than the 24 and was actually alot lighter as well.. if i was going to spend that much on a guitar, i would buy a Ernie Ball Music Man JP model.. but ill tell ya. i love the SE. Hands down the best bang for the buck!
can a guitar be shipped in tune and still go on a jet?
My wife, who knows nothing of guitars, asked me to best describe PRS guitars. I said.... PRS is the Apple company of guitars. 1. The detail and quality in and out. 2. It just works. 3. Paul is the Steve Jobs of guitars..... he is way ahead of the pack.
Does PRS put in the same effort for their S2 and CE line?
ken masters yes
Interesting comment regarding other manufacturers wood having 10% water in their guitars.
Gibson in their lp have 8%
My 2000 left handed custom 22 is the only guitar in my large collection of quality guitars that I play.
What does it take to be working with PRS as a guy from Berlin please let me know.
You'd have to move to Maryland, USA
I didn't know John Elway worked for PRS 🤔
Hello, i have 3 PRS guitars, they are awesome.. have you ever thought about making a guitar with a Plexiglass neck, it would never change for Musicians that play in a Desert climate one day, and then the next Gig is in a Humid Climate.. thanks, Cousin Figel
Rickmangler, Yes, it could sound like shit. But sometimes shit sounds good.. The material of the neck on a electric Guitar has Nothing to do with the way the Electronics sound...Figel
Fireve a fan of PRS 😍
what's the big deal with people saying they are overpriced? you can buy a brand new PRS for 3 or 4 grand. not bad considering how beautiful these instruments are.
Yep spend 600 for a Epiphone or Fender Squire and they may last 5 years. A PRS will last a lifetime. In the long run a PRS is a steal. In 30 years you will still have a wonderful guitar worth more than you paid for it. I have several Sig and limited edition models from late 80's and early 90's and they are still the best guitars I have ever owned. No finish checking, never any neck work or electronic problems. When I start to sell off my collection, these will be the last to go.
Brian Connell Any guitar made in USA will out last that Chinese and foreign junk. These guys have a love for being craftsmen and building guitars. Those Chinese don't give a shit, as long as they get their 50 cents in the sweat shop.
@@poseidonband7848 This is true, but this video and the comments on overpriced are for PRS guitars.
@@brianconnell6848 Well. that makes me feel better..!! I just bought a PRS McCarty 594. Absolutely thrilled. Hearing these cats going off was hard to hear. Thinking maybe.......they would really want one. That guitar seems to know my next move and is right there, bang!! I was doing licks in 3min of playing it and the Fender American Pro Strat I also recently bought just doesn't have that same response.
..
Best guitars ever built.
Does anyone know who the opening song is by?
I own a 50th anniversary american strat and a 1999 Gibson les paul. I’m sorry to say, but my PRS’s run circles around both of them. I can’t explain why, because fender and Gibson have decades of perfection. If you don’t own a prs, you are literally missing out.
Prs in my opinion is the best. I own gibby and fenders but prs has the best quality control
One day it will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
How good do the Indonesian PRS guitars compare to Made in America?
what are they doing with the marker looking thing at 0:30
Things that needs correction, possibly small scratches.
AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈
Looking at buying a custom floyd 24 in jade. Thinking this will be my day to day guitar over the strat and LP trad. Anyone got a custom 24 floyd?
Why would anyone want a floyd on a PRS? I mean some people obviously do, but with the stock lockers and that silky stock trem, I doubt I'd buy one even if I won the lottery. I don't get it. I've never been a floyd fan though, maybe that's why.
I got a Indonesian pre custom 24 with a Floyd rose 1000. It was beautiful even tho it wasn't a USA made prs. But I returned it and got an ibanez jem jr :) much cheaper but connected with me. The prs had a horrible fret job
All sharp and crap. I wonder how these USA made play and feel
+emilio olivas like butter man, the Core series are smooth as anything out there.
Ive had 2 Artist package USA models with the floyd rose. One was in Abalone(sold it) and the other is Bonnie Pink which I still have. Both have flamed maple necks and boards. Check my channel and you can see a video of the Abalone one
13:45 - end nuff said
I was interested in the Finish thickness comment. The claim 1 to 1.5 Human hairs thick. Given that the human hair ranges in thickness from 20 to 180 microns, that's a pretty big tolerance window. Coming from the coatings industry I know a fair amount about lacquers (polyester & nitro). 200 microns would be much nearer the thickness for spray applied lacquers. BUT they are not "Hard". Lacquer is relatively soft no matter how its formulated, applied or cured. PRS guitar have very thick lacquer coatings. I know because I own one with an area of chipped lacquer. There's an awful lot of pseudo science spouted about guitar manufacturing, woods etc. PRS make good guitars but so do many other companies. The BIG appeal for PRS guitars has always been looks.
What glue does PRS use on their necks? The bottle near the neck guy looked like fish glue.
it´s TONE glue !!! DUUH
Watch Gibson factory tour vs. PRS. You can see why PRS makes a better guitar.
I have them all....Tom Anderson is clearly King!
8:59 my god I'd pay heaps for that brown stripey beast. gorgeous
9:15 wow
Warmoth sure as hell doesn't make necks like these guys. I got a warped one.
I wish I could afford one:)
Prs will follow the way of gibson unless they drop the price and cater to working musician's the se line was a good start !
I want one but I don't have money :(
Too bad PRS's birds don't have the detail to the that Moonstone's birds do.
This industry like all other industries is about make the product cheapest way as possible without giving up too much quality, and trying to take as much money as possible from consumers pocket with marketing. Nothing wrong with that but nothing noble about that either. However profiting from the ignorance of consumers is not ok, which this industry is doing by intentionally or unintentionally selling the ideas such as tone wood, or something like that. While as a outsider using common sense, I imagine the only differences between wood and wood would be cost, availability and product differentiation. So me personally am not cool hear things like choosing wood to achieve sound or something like that. I know it’s business but that just sounds like BS.
Great guitars, but overpriced. Get a carved top from Carvin custom made with more options for under 2 Grand.
krelbar And in ten or so years compare the resale between PRS and the Kissel. My PRS guitars are almost 30 years old would sell now for way more than I paid back then. A Carvin would bring less than new price.
@@AzathothsAlarmClock Ha ha. You go ahead and play and beat up your Cort or Daisy rock or Squire, and meanwhile I'll keep on playin my PRS collection. Sucks to be poor huh? It really sucks to buy a guitar 30 or 40 years ago and see the price skyrocket all those years later. What a fkn loser. Or should I say, Mr. rock and roll god.
Good video but the guy jack carried on and on ! It's great to know a history about the company but make it short and sweet as they say ! And they are not perfect I seen new prs with flaws! All companies have good days and bad ones !
"The finish has a sound..."
Yep, the sound of bullshit.
George Lucas Gomes All I know is when I sanded off the thick finish, and then the extremely thick wood filler of the top of my very cheap Maestro "By Gibson" LP Junior, and then put a really thin finish on it, if was much louder. Not sure how much different otherwise... but certainly a lot louder. I also removed all the finish from the neck joint though, so that probably had more to do with it.
ConnorWolf If you (by sanding) reduce the mass of the instrument, the wood will vibrate more...it will be acoustically louder. But, for better or worse, hardly any of that will end up going through the pickups.
Marketing sure is a hell of a weapon...
ConnorWolf They differ in construction but mainly in quality control. It is foolish to say that better parts result in better sound. Although the finish bit is true, I wonder what's the point of improving the acoustic characteristics of an electric instrument?
George Lucas Gomes I wasn't the one commenting about gibson vs epi (which I'm pretty sure epis mostly use ceramic magnets in their pickups vs alnico in gibsons... don't know that the finish makes that much of a difference)
But I still think it's reasonable that there is damping going on of certain frequencies due to construction and materials, not that you'd necessarily be able to tell any one change. Being louder acoustically mostly makes it feel much better to play, for me.
An example:
I loved almost everything about my old neck-thru Squier Stagemaster, except that the body/neck just would NOT resonate and it was so quiet acoustically no matter what I did, so I sold it because that feel bugged me. I loved the way it looked, other people liked the way it sounded, it wasn't bad, I just was bugged by how it responded to my playing.The fact that it wasn't resonating just made it sound and feel "dead" to me even though objectively it sounded just fine to listeners.
I tried blocking the trem with hard maple, going to heavier strings for more tension and mass, replacing the trem springs and setting up the trem properly, putting foam in the trem cavity... everything I could think of without modifying it. Nothing worked, so I decided it had to be the body/neck material, the finish, the two post floating bridge itself, or the glue used to join the body wings (or some combination of all those things). I have other trem guitars that resonate just fine, but they are traditional fender style tremolos not a two-post floyd type.
ConnorWolf Sorry, it was meant to Jonathan Anthony.
Anyway, I get what you're saying...I also have a neck-thru Stagemaster. It sure feels dull my hands...sometimes, depending on the setup, I get more or less sustain...but the sound of the original pickups is great. I've tried to replace them with Dimarzios and Duncans, but ended up changing back to the originals.
lol he said what makes them special or different about guitar building is that it starts before the factory it starts as a tree....lol that's not different bud that's literally every single guitar ever made
Ahh, the "used car salesman terms" come out! "Tone wood", "Tone paint" "tone glue", "tone plastic", "vibrates/resonates" "1-1/2 human hair thinness for resonation"! You think they were building a stradivarius "acoustic, and not an "electric" guitar. "musicians" will believe anything, if it costs three times as much as it should! smfh
They are sanding without a mask D:
a mask isn't really required if it's not really going everywhere
Marcelo Rojas they are not pussies😂
They should really wear uniforms .
I love how they try to feed you bullshit by saying that they choose to take a month on a neck, they have wood that isn't properly dried so it takes them forever to make it because of that, also, on a solid body electric, the difference wood makes is so minuscule it's hilarious, the majority of the sound comes from electro-magnetic signal, yeah the different densities impact sound but that's mostly when played acoustically, I'm an experienced guitar player by the way, not just asshole, I've played and owned various guitars and have tried the experiment of trying out different guitars all on the same amp, same setting, same pickups, different guitar brand ans sub brands, the only reason to pay for insanely high quality woods is just to say "look, I can afford to throw money away" I have $500 and $4,000 guitars alike, but the expensive ones are custom made by Crimson Guitars and are made by actual craftsmen and luthiers and not factory workers, which means better quality, better woods, way better product, and a completely tailored feel.
Jason's day job is as a fluffer for Crimson.
Why buy a $4000 guitar if it makes no difference? Why buy from Crimson and their "better woods" if it doesn't matter? This whole rant is one big contradiction....
How to build guitar's as slow as possible and warrant the ridiculous price.
Nothing except the Private Stock series, even slightly approaches the quality of Tyler, Anderson, Grosh, End of story.
Not true. I own 2 anderson’s and a basic core custom 22. They’re right up in the same class. The PRS even outshines the Anderson’s in some departments.
@@Waterinmenbenen I seriously doubt that you've even come upon an Anderson. I've used ordinary, USA custom 22, and they are joke compared to Anderson. Private stock is another story, equal, not better than Anderson's best.
@@athanasiusdicia117 Sure, whatever you say buddy.
Wood species in electric solidbody guitars doesnt make "tone". It certainly creates marketing and price though.
Here we go with the "good sounding" woods bullshit. Play a vintage fiberglass Supro and then tell me about tone woods fucking cork sniffers. Ive never heard an album where i thought man listen to that prs, damn thats awesome. Ive thought that when hearing a Strat, and with a Les Paul. Never a PRS. Hence "tone wood"
beautiful guitars i wish I could afford it but they are way way too expensive for anyone to buy .
+gazmini81 If they were PRS wouldn't be in business.
+pedraw true mate lol i can only dream of owning one of these beautiful guitars maybe one day lol
You can buy them used too. No worse than a Gibson.
Go second hand, mate. I have two and I'm giving serious thought to adding a third.
Sincerity, okay, fine. However, the giant Suck act regarding PR Smith needs to lighten up. You'rw beginning to sound like an infatuated 13 year old. Enough. Let the instrument speak for itself without all the sucking-up.
hey paul... any brown people work at PRS?

Most beautiful tops, most gorgeous finishes, most stable neck material, worst feeling neck carve on any high end guitar. They’re like the prettiest girl in school that you finally get a date with only to find out she is a terrible kisser. Hard Pass
I dig the guitars, not the complete bullshit this guy is saying. Oh my god, what an accumulation of nonsenses.... But, still, when I'll be rich enough, I could buy one of those very elegant pieces of art.
Will this guy write a script next time? He is rambling the whole time lol
