      800 or 900 dollars is not a price for people who want to start playing guitar. I would buy one because I could afford it compared to the other more expensive version. I also have a Fender American Standard Strat and have playing for more than 20 years.

      Pretty weird to me how he talked about playability and setups on a ,,budget" guitar, I have a 200 dollar guitar and while it was pretty badly set up at first just bring it to any guitar repair guy or a luthier and theyll do an amazing setup, fix the fret edges, action, intonation, you don't need a 1000 dollar guitar for that

    • @Canteaus
      @Canteaus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @Mark Seymour Nope, some guitars just cannot be set up with proper intonation. If all of yours are, good for you. But the fact is, there are even some expensive guitars that cannot be intonnated by the best techs. Even the same guitar can differ model by model. That's why JM said he had such a hard time in the studio with that song. Do you think he was lacking good gear or techs? Good intonation requires precision across every part of the guitar and design foresight; which is a very expensive thing to replicate on a mass manufacturing scale. (Also, a guitar's scale length can also impact intonation abilities).

    • @Canteaus
      @Canteaus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @Mark Seymour my "nope" was directed at your comment saying that it was an odd sales approach. Assuming you are an experienced guitar player, you have the benefit of knowing what guitars have good intonation, regardless of price. This, unfortunately, is not something that can be easily felt by beginners. This is why I think this sales approach was so honest and true to what beginners really need. They emphasize that they focused on intonation so that beginners dont need to worry about. Whether an 800 dollar guitar is truly a beginner's guitar is another story... haha

    • @Canteaus
      @Canteaus 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ​@Mark Seymour Hey Mark, all of the things that you mentioned are variables that could go wrong in a cheaper guitar. I understand your logic about how setting up intonation should "theoretically" not be a difficult thing, but in reality, it can be very hard to achieve. Yes, I understand that precision manufacturing has improved, but building a good guitar with intonation as a priority has to be done from the design-stage, and not just the manufacturing stage. I've played countless guitars that were JUST set up by proper luthiers/guitar techs that still has problems with intonation. It's like a balancing act where if one or more variable just doesn't want to cooperate with the setup because of either cheap materials or lack or precision, it just wont work. Also regarding CNC machines, yes things can be measured precisely, but intonation is about how all of those things work together, and that's not something precision CNC is responsible for, that's the job of the guitar designer.

    I was a John Mayer fan long before I saw him driving Bob Saget’s Prius back from the airport (live on Instagram) but watching that solidified my understanding of his passion and more importantly his integrity & this video has that same passion and I believe - integrity. Meaning- he’s not trying to sell you a guitar because he’s getting paid to do so. He’s telling you exactly what he thinks and feels about it. I own a Mark Tremonti PRS SE and was contemplating the Silver Sky but just didn’t want to spend that much money on yet another guitar- but can’t wait to get my hands on this one. Thanks John for sharing your passion with the world and being an inspiration to others.

      Mayer's one of my favorites artists of all time. It's not only because he writes great songs, not only because he can play tastefully, not only because he can speak in great metaphors. It's mostly because he isn't perfect. He has made mistakes, he has evolved just like us going through life with its ups and downs. And now he uses his experience to influence kids and younger players to get the most out of themselves. Mayer showcases so much humanity in all the things he does, it's humbling and refreshing. He's like a long time highschool friend.

    Yeah……I can hear how that feels. This is the guitar many of us have been waiting for. This is a great thing that John and Paul and his team have done. So many refinements to a classic and iconic guitar shape and sound. From what I am hearing I don’t think there is much of a difference at all with the pickups from the core model to the SE. I think they sound the same. Beautiful tones in all five positions. My biggest fear is that PRS will not be able to keep up with the demand for this guitar. Shops will get them in and you will get one only if you pay for it early or happen to be there when they pull it out of the box. That may be a major problem and shipping them from Indonesia and being held in a port for months on end will cause these to come out in spurts over the next year and a half. Plus they will still be inspected and set up here in Maryland and I know PRS won’t compromise that. And they shouldn’t. I can’t wait to get one in my hands. Thank you John and Paul for your vision and your artistry. The world is a better place with both of you in it!

    I completely trust PRS to make a great neck, because they always do. Their trem system is better than Fender. Now I can get a SSS from PRS. What's not to love?
