It's not just your Grandad's guitar though. If you see a picture of Taylor Swift with an electric guitar, it's normally a Les Paul. All the pictures I've seen of Ed Sheeran in public with an electric have been with a Strat. They might be the two biggest name artists on the planet at the moment. Like it or not, the 7 string metal stuff is not mainstream.
The brand awareness and history is still a major benefit for Gibson and Fender.
If that applies to PRS though, it applies even more when talking about a brand like Valley Arts. PRS do have some big name players, and you see them on stages all over the place. When I watched last year's CMA awards there were several PRS on the stage at various points.
So yes PRS have a head start over many others but not that old school history
Jimmy Page owns a McCarty or two - Gary Moore had the odd PRS - Steve Vai has one - but they are just additional tools in the box and not a main stream guitar for them
That multi foil fin looks cool now, but would we be sick of seeing it everywhere soon??
