I love chatting to Paul!! Whether it’s on camera or not it’s always an unpredictable ride. You should have heard what we talked about at dinner 😂😂. I wish the industry had more people like him - passionate, out spoken, a bit mad, but definitely not boring or corporate. And by the way - all those “You’ve won something!” replies that are being posted in this comments section are a SCAM!! Just report/delete them please.
Awesome upload! I loved it. I work with a bunch of guys, we’re constantly (figuratively) kicking each other in the balls, joking back and forth, that’s a good thing to have in life, rather than be all serious
@@richardshank9583 As they do most brands, they just don't say it for some reason. Do Fender and Gibson get mad if a company doesn't say single cut or T-style?
He believes in his product. If he mentions fender and someone goes play a fender and a prs, he trusts that his guitar will win. Whether you disagree or not doesnt matter, but he truly believes his product is the best. I mean, otherwise he wouldnt put his name on it. And I gotta say, I personally agree.
@@Kris_Toffer Yeah, my only thing is I wish they made a regular model with like a 14" radius. Paul is steadfast about specs until a celeb wants something different.
As impossible as it is to listen to PRS interviews, all guitar players owe him a debt of gratitude for forcing higher degrees of quality control /assurance into the process.
PRS USA is nice but Indonesia, is hit or miss. The HDRX 20 was a hit....the SE I bought last year was a miss! horrible fretting out all over the place.
This was again a wonderful time with Paul and you! "If every guitar maker would be so passionate about his guitars like Paul, we would have more nice guitars, playing great out of the box in every price range"
People say a lot about him and I kind of get why. But I've never seen anyone disagree on his enthusiasm. What a legendary achievement and I will forever cherish my lovely PRSs and be reminded of the very man behind the legacy, Kudos to Paul.
Within the first few minutes, I could tell that this was going to be one of the best interviews of Paul. You really bring out his passion and get him to open up.
is that a smoke screen for not putting out a legendary product. That flanger pedal was not made with tender loving care. When i hear old pedals my ear hears it. Expect more from your era fella or he will keep selling whatever . Trust me new gear is not amazing
if you gonna play indoor i wouldnt recomended ,i tried it was way too loud and no master volume and couldnt even turn it on bass and treble volume on , im gonna try the 20watt next week ,
I had never seen an interview with Paul until one of your older NAMM videos. The guy is so interesting and so inspiring. Lee and Paul together is always good stuff. I honestly want to buy a PRS guitar just to support this guy that so fascinates me.
Paul is a true Renaissance man that few realize the depth of his creativity. Check out what he is doing in the medical field and prepare to be knocked over. Proud to own some of his work and they are INCREDIBLE ! Thanks Paul.
What brilliant video I love watching Paul talk about guitars his passion is infectious. I’m one of those who bought a guitar during Covid and I must say it’s my happy place. I’m looking to buy my 1st looper an 3rd guitar already only 18months into playing
@@chrisanderson9331 My friend, lying to your wife will get easier in time when it comes to the gear you buy. My guitars were all ‘bargains’… And that’s the story I stick by to this day 😅
I have seen Paul slated in guitar forums, I have 2 at the moment, both SE's but owned a custom from the first year of production, but at least 5 guitars, and every 1 is flawlessly built , set up amazing and plays flawlessly, but where he is shining now is the sonic side of things! the pickups, amps, pedals! watching him adjust those knows, play a note, tweaking, working with his ear! FABULOUS!
I own 2 SE' s The Zach Meyer is fantastic...the King Crimson SE is shyte ...clear coat on the neck cracked and fell off, the pick ups are not very good at all, so I have mixed feelings about the brand .
This is just guitar geek Gold! I thoroughly enjoyed this hour of honest mayhem. And thank goodness for the SE range so we can all own and play one of these beautiful guitars.
Paul Reed Smith is the most fascinating entity in the guitar industry, whether you like him or not its impossible not to listen to him. Protect Paul Reed Smith at all costs!
I really love Paul, he's a real down to earth guy. I got the Zach Meyers Model S.E. and it's a great guitar, and the Mark tremonti MT-15 amp and cab. For 15 watts it loud. As Paul would say it will take your head off! 😁
The amazing thing about Paul Reed Smith is that you can tell that there are hours upon hours of research and observation in his explanations. He really knows his stuff.
Really nice interview and chat Paul is a good guy ! In reference to where the Marshall JTM45 came from it was a direct descendant of a Fender. The JTM45 was, undeniably, heavily based on Leo Fender's 5F6-A Bassman it's history with the exception of substituting EL34s in place of American 6L6s and of course a different power transformer for UK 🇬🇧 power. As far a clean the Fender has a bigger bottom end because of its 6L6 power tubes and a different tube capacitance and frequency response. The EL34 has more of a mid hump nasal sound with a smaller bottom .
Absolutely *fantastic!* Thank you so much for making this video and putting it out there! I've been a *total* Fender girl for YEARS! But now...as I'm about to buy a *nice* one...I think I'll take a look at PRS before I buy!!!
What started out as a disaster of a conversation blossomed into a fantastically interesting video! I love that you guys don't edit the videos to death and it gives them so much character! I have loved PRS guitars since the first time I played one some 20 years ago, I just wish I could afford the Custom 24 10 Top I have always wanted! Lol! Paul's passion and true "child's like" joy for his craft is simply inspiring to me!
Great upload. Finally, Paul came to Anderton’s, I also thought he skipped out on the best channel on RU-vid. Though as he said, save the best for last.
These meetings with Paul are always so entertaining. I love the Robin Ford guitar (WANT) and also totally dig that Paul knows all of the details about each Pedal. How many people in his position know the details and how to use even their smallest, or least expensive products.
Thank you Captain Lee, what a treat with your having Paul Reed Smith as your guest. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I watch them religiously. I could not agree with Paul more!! I just hit 69 and I'm still working full time and I like the money! I drive a city bus and I get friends and even customers asking me when I'm going to retire and frankly it does bug you, like Paul said, they're really asking when am I going to die 🤣🤣 so it is a soft spot for us getting up there in age. If I was Paul and that guy in Germany kept hitting me up on retirement and age questions I would have just gotten up and left. Paul is quite the joker!! 🤣🤣This was a lot of fun to watch! Take care. 😊😊
Been playing guitar since 14 I’m no 54. Had most guitars of different brands but always think the prs guitar is the pinnacle and one days I’ll get there. It’ll be and Andertons purchase no doubt as I adore every video since you’ve started and unbiased opinions. Apart from soldano pedal. You just had no idea. Good job you have reabea who’s a pedal god
A Paul and Lee interview always makes me smile. Thanks. Led Zep IV isnt coming out of my daw but I cant wait to get my hands on the tobacco SE standard 24 08 and try.
I have a PRS story from 1972 before he was PRS. He was in college at St Marys in southern MD as a freshman and heard us play in the student union basement with our 100 watt Marshall Plexiglas with 8x12 I was playing an all original 55 Strat with an echoplex and a Univox super fuzz set on a slight boost. My Marshall had the jumper to get bottom from the 2nd channel. I only had my bottom cab plugged in and facing the painted cinderblock wall. We had a short conversation on the break where I got an ultimate tone complement from him. I was 17 and he was either 17 or 18. Our next gig was in Ocean City MD. We opened for Liz Meyer with Danny Gatton who approached me and announced that his Tele thru a 4x10 tweed batsman was going to be louder than my 100 watt stack. Danny already had a reputation so I didn't argue. 50 years ago and I can't make this stuff up. I also have a Roy Buchanan story from Pittsburgh 1975-6
I was super intrigued about this new secret PRS guitar when Paul did that pedal show. Surely it has to be the Tele shaped PRS that Myles Kennedy has been playing recently ?????
Don't think so, as during VCQ both Dan and Mick said it was not necessarily something that would cater to them (i.e., not gonna be a Strat or a Tele, or something vintage-inspired)
OMG, I had to do a second look at first....I was sure I was watching Johnathon and Baxter from Casino Guitars. Thank you Paul and the lads at Andertons for a very entertaining interview and vlog.
I always wondered what it would be like if someone could match the Captain's propensity for taking hold of conversations. This is chaotic and I love it.
I*m not in the market for a new amp, let alone experimenting with a new premium model. But I so much enjoy geeking out Paul, especially with someone open like the captain.
