After playing PRS I never looked back. Another little known stand out are McInturff. guitars. I owned a Royale and unfortunately sold it for more 420 😅 recently got a CE24 semi hollow 🤘
PRS= pride, craftsmanship.. Quality control is leaps and bounds better, top notch tone, tuning stability, top quality tops, perfect fret work, better dried woods.. PRS is the relentless pursuit of perfection
100%, but lacking mojo. I own PRS and Gibson...Gibson is shit to play, cannot get perfect string action, tuning stability...etc...but it sounds way better for 5 mjnutes, before going out of tune. PRS just works...but sounds just OK
@@darrennwalters5189 Hmmm I might have to try that, I go back and forth on which I prefer at 25" scale. I like 9's on strats and 10's on 594's so the 25" scale models being on 9.5 is a logical choice.
Prs guitars are amazing. Just bought a ce24 sandblasted and i am floored with how good it is. My first was a 245 with duncan 59 in the bridge and a seth lover in the neck. What an amazing combination that is. Then got a stock 594 that blew my mind. Those led to the new red sandblasted ce24 and it has raised the bar again. They have made a serious believer out of me for sure.
Love your PRS collection. They look and sound KILLER. Can you make a video to compare the 594, McCarty and the DGT please? I know they are all vintage vibe but would like to know how they sound different. Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I have a 2004 Custom 24 Artist and a 2018 McCarty 594. Amazing playing guitars. The McCarty is probably the best sounding guitar I own. About the only other guitar I own that fits into the PRS quality category is my 2011 EVH Wolfgang USA. That thing is right there with my PRS guitars.
Since I started playing PRS guitars I now call Gibson's less pauls.. Gibson has been aware of the LP short comings/issues with the nut, the headstock angle, the way the strings come out of the nut and a very steep angle. Paul didnt just make a les Paul style he made it right... Que the Gibson fan boys.
There is no such thing as perfect intonation, but you have to use the string gauge it was designed for. They also have an adjustable version if you really need it
The tail piece is compensated like an acoustic guitar and there are 2 adjustment screws where the tail piece attaches to the mounting posts. You can shift the entire piece at the top post and the bottom post up or back a bit. I own a PRS S2 singlecut with an adjustable single tail piece and you can also swap out the compensated tail piece on the guitar in the video for the fully adjustable tail piece. Look up a PRS Zach Mayers SE to see the adjustable single tail piece. By the way, I think my PRS S2 tail piece is the most comfortable to play of any guitar I have ever played.
Yep Paul set out to make a better Gibson and that black prs is the definitive proof of that blindfold anybody and let them hear that they would think is to Les Paul
I have a PRS CE Semihollow that is a great workhorse guitar. But dollar for dollar, I have to say that Ibanez is vastly underrated and makes a better guitar. My LB-1 cost LESS than my PRS, but has Seymore Duncan pickups, a compound radius fretboard, 9 tone possibilities, bone nut, a sonic range that is ridiculous, and stays in tune for weeks on end. So I have to respectfully disagree with Tim…at least based on my experience.
Try a PRS S2 McCarty. Several hundred dollars less than a Gibson. I agree with you about the price of a core PRS McCarty but I equate those more to a custom shop Gibson which is the same price or more than the core PRS.
PRS guitars in my humble opinion suck so bad that I have stopped taking them in for setups and repairs at my shop. They are just cheap as they come. Finish, hardware, electronics, bridges, tuners, truss rod adjustments and truss rod covers. I hope I never see another one ever again. And don't go there because I have seen all models and all SUCK!!!!!!!!!! Sorry!
@@rosewoodsteel6656 Paul Smith believes that the tuners on a guitar affect the overall tone and he also is head over heels about tone wood and that it also affects the tone of an electric guitar. 2 more reasons I don't like PRS guitars. Paul is a knucklehead and that makes his guitars knuckleheads. Everything that has to do with PRS guitars makes me vomit!
Also, why do most of his guitars experience color fade, color change and chipping due to the inferior paints and stains he chooses to use on these junk pieces of wood? Cookie cutter guitars all of them.
@@ronaldgoebel2174 The only color that I've ever heard about fading were the very early whale blues, and many think they look better faded. I've never heard of any chipping. Your prejudice may be showing a bit, Goebel.
What John said about the DGT is important. It gets close to a lot of things but it really sounds like it own thing. I hear folks say the same about LPs, it’s in own thing and nothing else can do it. IMO the DGT is the new LP.
