Isn't this the perceived attitude of the upper class that so many people apparently despise?
What can seem like pushiness and possibly even rudeness to us is perfectly normal in business to many Stateside.
I have an American daughter-in law!
For sure. I've worked with enough Americans to see and hear that. I think that's why I don't think it was too bad. It's a cultural thing I think. We are what we are, they are what they are.

I love PRS guitars but know they are not for everyone but their quality of build cant be denied measured against many other USA guitars.
Ive been to quite a few of his clinics over the years going back as far as the mid 90s and the thing that always comes accross when you meet him in person is his passion which comes over as very genuine. I think the fact that he still does these clinics speaks volumes. Yes he clearly does them to promote the brand and sell more guitars but very few other manufactures do it and display the same passion and im sure he does not need to do them.
There's nothing necessarily wrong with that - I think a lot of us like the odd bit of attention here and there, given that most of us end up on stage reasonably often - but it's very possible to like being the centre of attention without effectively shouting down everyone around you (eg by playing over the top of them speaking).
FWIW, I think PRS did come across as a bit rude, but then he is an American, and he is presumably there to promote his business. But the whole interview (well, the bits I could be arsed to watch) is extremely tedious viewing IMO.
To my eyes he maintains eye contact even whilst quietly noodling whilst Lee is talking and answers 99% of the questions with joviality and pertinence, they laugh and joke together and there's a little bit of piss taking going on too. I dont see anything that id personally take offence at.

What the hell was he thinking?
I didn't make it very far into the PRS one.
