This might be a slight exaggeration but he's a modern day Leo Fender.... Started a guitar company from scratch and now he's a peer of Fender and Gibson... That's saying something!!!
Paul is such a character. I met him at a show and I’m just a poor guy who owns two PRS SE. He talked with me about them and posed for a pic with me. A great day .
@@ConstantGeekery could just make one of your own to be fair , the paint is called mystichrome. ford used it on some mustangs. while hard to get the actual formation its not hard to get one close enough to replicate it.
I didn’t even got why the limitation is even there! There is a car paint like it and wveryone I‘ve showed it to was stunned. Guitars aren’t exactly different to cars tbh
When Paul sees that, he knows he's hit the mark with a great guitar. Pete will play it, and Anderton's will do a video of it, and they will fly off the wall at a steady pick.
I don’t own one, but I respect what PRS has done and will do as a company. I really believe that PRS is THE reason that affordable guitars are such high quality industry wide. Such a commitment to each guitar being a great guitar. Awesome.
I met Paul today at a small show he did in Costa Rica. He talked to us about PRS guitars and played a few songs with a local band. It was quite a character and was a fun night. Thanks Paul for coming down to visit us!
I've met Paul in the UK a couple of times, he is such a warm and friendly guy, very funny and EXTREMELY knowledgeable about seemingly everything. Great guy.
Paul's genius doesn't just revolve around guitars. Luckily for us, his passion is changing the game a bit more every year. He has been chasing down the tone dragon for so long, and it is paying off for us all. Fender and Gibson haven't really been great in as many decades as he has been growing and surpassing them.Thank you Paul, and everyone who is lucky and talented enough to work with him. Just got a 594 McCarty Singlecut, and it was instantly my #1. I can't wait to see what he does next.
@@ajvc2233 You think? I really have a hard time to gauge the actual money a guitar company makes. What I am certain of though, is that Andertons help PRS in purchasing more models than they needed. I have been on that end, giving calls to customers and asking them to purchase more than what they had ordered, just because we needed to make the numbers...
I met him last April at a Sam Ash store in Cleveland Ohio... really nice guy.. very easy to talk to and believe me, he tells you whats on his mind.... a real character...
Pisk Six I think it’s one of the largest money making days for just about all the companies there at NAMM, I doubt he personally pocketed millions but his company definitely made a lot of money.
@@catdaddy57 I did met him once, he usually comes to the Dallas International Guitar Show with his band. He is a no nonsense guy. I had a conversation with him about PRS guitars pricing range, which was in my mind, completely outside of the market. That was before the SE line. He said that PRS were in line with the market they were targeting. Sadly, not me. But he had a nice gesture when I told him how much money I was making playing gigs.
That grass is dead....ha ha ha. Great vid and the silver sky sounded fantastic. I think we are witnessing the birth of another iconic guitar like the strat and Les paul.
This was awesome !!! I love when things go completely unexpected and everyone just rolls with it and has a great time. Thank you guys. I have just increased my respect for both Paul and PRS, and Anderton's.
Some of the best tv, not on tv. Well done all. Only one million subscribers? Come on people........! I am fortunate enough to own two great guitars one of which is a nice little PRS. A fine instrument as well as a piece of art. Best of luck to PRS and Andertons.
I cant wait for a week of New Prs Gear videos this year. So much new products to check out! Loves these interviews too, look forward to them every namm.
Grass isn’t dead Paul! Just gives us a chance to check in as if we were there ourselves. Please continue doing videos with Andertons as they are my main source of reviews in new gear and what’s happening in the industry. Cheers.
Gotta love Paul. I think his personality can rub people the wrong way but I personally think it isn't intentional. Just who he is. I love how he acknowledged how he interrupts people in interviews
I'm so thankful to have grown up in a generation that the people whose names are iconic with gear are still alive. People like Paul Reed Smith, Les Paul, Floyd Rose, and many others. One day, all of these Pioneers are going to be gone, and all we'll have is their name on a logo. So thankful you talk to these people.
Met Paul a few times, he is own best salesman, his enthusiasm about his products shines out. Hint, take your partner, after our first clinic and first meeting my wife encouraged me to order a private stock.
Watching this while having breakfast (in Australia) and I have to say... you guys crack me, you're all so funny. I always have a laugh watching the banter and comradery, and then with Paul in there it's even better. Thanks a lot guys, you're one of my fave YT channels.
Cool interview! I recently bought my first PRS, a 245 Tobacco Sunburst. A perfect complement to my Charvel-Jackson Model 6 from 1986. PRS is my new favorite guitar brand!
My friend has a prs, runs open Mike at one of the clubs, it plays like butter ,maybe the best I've played in a long time, I'm one of the few he will let play it. I could only afford one of the cheaper prs se,s ,that's what I'm wanting next. I just financed a player plus top HSS strat at guitar center, love it but now I got to get one of these prs silver sky's. they are awesome. I'm 70 years old, been playing 54 years. Prs are awesome. Enjoyed your reviews and interview of Paul .
I bought my PRS because of an Andertons’ video. I got a Seafoam Green PRS Mira Semi-hollow. It definitely was not something I would’ve considered purchasing, until I watched Pete make it sound incredible.
I think Paul is an example of adult ADD 😂 halfway through a sentence and his mind already jumped to something else. It comes across as interruptive. But I think his brain is just all over the place.
Hey Paul! The private stock guitars... Anderton's was originally supposed to have 2 to sell.. and when they picked their wood, you allowed them a third guitar that you selected the wood for them... Don't go blame them for not selling more when you keep making "limited runs"!! 🤔💡
Hilarious, Paul is so cool! We as a guitar loving community are so lucky to have a builder that is so passionate & will not settle for nothing but great guitars
This is a pleasant interview with Paul I have to say.. - I guess since they know each other quite a bit makes a good atmosphere... - and seriously, Lee and Pete are just cool cats..
Paul reminds me of one of my good friend's dads from when I was growing up... Charasmatic and intelligent balanced with arrogance, with some occasional douchebaggery. Good more often that not, but when the douchebaggery starts getting laid on, it gets laid on thick. But at the same time you can't help but to like the guy.... An enigma. lol
Great Un'Interview- Good Thing There Wern't any Drinks Nearby! Paul is Sometimes a Handful! Jus' Stop Pikin on Pete! Blessing's To All Three Gentelman! 🎸🔊🎼
Traded a Fender MIM for PRS Tremonti over 8 years ago and I still use it as a main guitar. Thank you Paul for your passion and innovation and please make a Silver Sky SE!
I saw Simon McBride do a pedal show and he was great .He is a PRS player and the model he had gave an incredible tone on a coil split setting. David Grissom is aPRS Player too and he’s a monster ! Paul is a character but above all a great salesman!
Wouldn't the unpedal pedal be an a/b box? This is one of the great videos that is great because of the spontaneity due to the flip of who is being interviewed. I was in music retail in California for 12 years and attended many NAMM shows. So it is a joy to listen you discuss purchasing and customer concerns. Because that is what the show is about. I stood in the Mackie booth one year just me and Greg Mackie looking at the first 1604 mixer in the #3 hall.
You never know if he is a prick or if he is just yanking your chain... I think he likes do be difficult to read for the common mortal. But do you get how the Captain is not the same with him? Captain or not?
Guy runs a large company with his name on the door. He is now in the same league as Gibson & Fender. Worked his way to this point & employs a lot of people. Good for him he's earned it
By far my favorite three people at NAMM. If you put Greg Koch in there for the grand slam i would be over the moon. I love Paul and think he is a great guy and a great guitar maker. This is the year i own a PRS. I will have to go the SE route but there are plenty to choose from. I also want a Sonzera amp because i just want to plug and play, no pedals required. And i may also end up with a PRS SE acoustic model as well. I have not played one but will very soon. Thanks for the interview of Danish Pete and the Captain Paul. This was great! 😁
Interviews with Paul seem to work much better this way around. If he’s asking questions he gets to talk about what he wants to talk about and doesn’t act quite as difficult as when he’s being interviewed by someone else. 😋
