I do not like people with chippy shoulders - typically they are bitter, defeatist individuals and probably voted to leave.
It's meant to be about him.
I'd far rather listen to PRS than HenryJ...
However, I can't help but agree with him that PRS's are made to be precision instruments and are clinical at what they do, I bloody love my Custom 24 and it's just perfect in every way. So, I feel that he's somewhat justified in his arrogance, especially towards his own instruments - he even "bought" one of his own guitars, which is weird.
However, I'll also agree with the common consensus that there's more character to a Les Paul and a Strat, there's no getting away from that.

I just want to hear about Lee Anderton no matter who's being interviewed.
And not everyone in business carries on their forebear's success....

Lee comes across very well in his videos and his growing of the business with the YouTube channel, investment in Rob Chapman and Chapman guitars and his development of his staff like Matt, Rabea and Pete shows a bit of business genius. Even with (apparently) Brexit hitting Chapman Guitars like a sack of Les Pauls, that stands.
I got the impression from the video that PRS is the typical millionaire businessman, polite and professional but with the hubris one gets from making millions out of his efforts. He thinks he is a bit better than most people, because in the ways that matter to him he probably is.
Lee Anderton, also a multi-millionaire, comes across as nicer and more personable but watch a lot of Andertons videos and you will see that he is treated with a lot of respect and deference by the others, especially those behind the camera. Lee is the boss, no question.

By the standards of millionaires i've known, he doesn't seem too bad!
I agree with some of the comments that PRS can be a tad insufferable when it comes to the blatant self promotion....but as others have said, its this approach that's contributed to the success he has enjoyed and therefore why would he change it.
I've seen a few vids with PRS now at Andertons and he's like this in all of them, but I dont think he comes across as a bad guy....perhaps a bit arrogant and a wee bit rude, but then again i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt because life's too short to get bent outta shape about such things. I certainly know that if I have an 'off' day i'm not the best to be around...but it doesnt mean like i'm like that all the time. PRS just mostly seems a bit overexcited, maybe slightly immature for a man his age and certainly a fairly brash salesman but to each their own.
He has a good range of videos now to hit most tastes. He's also very careful not to bad mouth any other stores..
I used to buy a lot of my gear there until the exchange rate borked.
Are you not indicating by your post that he came across poorly....therefore also being judgemental? Could be that he doesn't have the British talent for coming across in an understated manner. I think we in the UK find it hard to 'blow our own trumpet' at times and therefore find people that are confident in themselves or their product very forward, and dare I say it.....rude!
To be honest I think it just looked like two mate having a talk and a bit of banter. As I said I didn't think it was bad at all.
