Paul's comments on his kids and grand kids really hit a nerve with me, on how important it is to guide your children but not necessarily impose on them what you do as they might not be interested in the same things we are, but great to let them spread their own wings. Thank you Paul and Tim for this one!
lee never had to go through the stage of the business, where making a living out of the store was uncertain. But I think what's even more impressive than that, though no disrespect to his family's work, is that he transcended the business from local to GLOBAL. Much much more difficult than what his family had to do. He's gotta give himself huge credit!!!!
Such a better interview then the original Captain Meets interview with Paul. Paul gave Lee all the time to answer instead of just noodling over him etc etc. Really good interview to watch. Also my PRS custom 24 is due tommorrow. My first dive into PRS so hopefully it's as good as everyone says. Great stuff!
Great interview - would love to see more! Should do another interview as a part 2. Lee's story about people wanting to take pictures with him instead of the celebrity he is in a meeting with was great, too funny
Good People, humble and excellent at what you both do. Great examples for your children your grandchildren and people watching this video we appreciate you both. Thank you. Can I have a guitar 😬
One day I’ll own and play a PRS and I know that a part of the joy I’ll get from the experience will be the connection it gives me to that awesome human, hope to buy it from you Lee, thanks gentlemen 👍🇬🇧🎸
Unfortunately, to be successful like Paul is in any creative field... You've got a be a little oddball. 'Normal' won't cut it as you'll just be unremarkeable. This guys and girls have to be obsessive ad nauseum about what they do or want to do. Is he odd? Yes But hell we need more oddballs- look where normal people lead us...
Mr 'textbook definition of arrogancy' is here again! This swollen ego PRS dude is just killin' it again on being the first rate arshole of the century! Hell yeah dude, such a success!
Dear Lee, it was always understood that Rob nicknamed you the Captain because of your position in the Andertons Company. Anyway, it has always been clear to me. It is so obvious and fitting as well. Wear it well. -Peter age 71
Lee, There's an English pub called "The Olde Ship" in Santa Ana, not far from Anaheim. I used to play there. And I always ordered the "Big English Breakfast" all the time. It's hard to beat. Next time you're at NAMM, you could uber there I about 15 or 20 minutes.
This was probably the first time I have actually enjoyed an interview with PRS without cringing the whole time (a couple of moments, perhaps). He seems very open and honest here, and it comes off a lot better for me compared to his usual style, which I guess is his take at humor/banter, one that I'm obviously quite incompatible with...? And of course The Captain great as always, but that barely needs to be pointed out.
This to me is one of the best shows, 👍 we all know a clock ticks, finding out how and why is so interesting. Thanks for the enlightenment guys. Respect and stay healthy all.
Hey Lee- thanks for not playing it for laughs. Really appreciated hearing from the person behind the persona. And here I thought it was going to be you interviewing PRS (or is it PRSH?) GREAT video.
That 3 kinds of math line made me feel good about myself haha. Same here Paul, I can do anything spacial and love making guitars myself, but the bottom line is the alphabet doesn’t belong in math...
I own 2 PRS guitars...made in the state that I live... I’ve killed 2 birds..I get to support local business and own some of the best built, well playing guitars made...great interview!!!!
My dream is to order a PRS custom shop. Unfortunately it will remain just that. It doesn't detract from my admiration of the instruments and the passion that everything is built upon.
Cost is enormous. Woods are gorgeous, but mark up is huge on purpose to create a luxury good. Perhaps a custom guitar from small luthier will be amazing and much cheaper?
Wild haggis are said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep (including heart, lungs, and liver). According to some sources, the wild haggis's left and right legs are of different lengths allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat, but only in one direction. It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs. The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain (as seen from above) while the latter can run anticlockwise. The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her. As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the haggis population are accentuated.
I can't wait, I realise the Silver sky's won't be available lefty in all the colours, but I'm exited to which colours the lefties come in🤞, Conversely could the Captain share the link to the Chinese knock off PRS's?
One could say the musical instrument is the greatest technological achievement of human history, and the guitar is the greatest one- the only musical instrument that is both multitimbral and polyphonic! Not to mention power chords... :)
I dont get why people complain about this. the interviewer is there to interview, not talk. The point of having a guest so to listen to the guest. Why would Lee invite someone on and then expect to be the one talking the whole time? the more the guest talks the better. thats the point. If you want to hear Lee talk then theres an entire channel of that.
It turns out you can by a PRS SE signature model on ebay for less than £300! When I did ...I didn't become a "corksniffer" I became a "player"...craft guitars for player money ..thank you Mr PRS and thank you Mr A
Could someone explain why on Andertons they have a US PRS CE for the same price as they are in the states, but the UK PRS are more expensive? Are they made differently?
That little ditty was composed, performed, and recorded by Bryan Ewald for our ongoing "Long Distance: Paul Calls..." series. You can find more of these interview-style videos on the official PRS Guitars RU-vid channel.
