If you find a good Gibson and or Fender you just don't need a PRS
I think they can also sometimes be a bit blingy in their looks which can make them a bit marmite....

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
But I maintain that no-one has ever looked cool playing a PRS. And - like it or not - that is a part of the rock music "thing" for a lot of people. Not saying it's rational, but I'm confident it part of why you don't see so many "famous types" playing PRSi
I'm going to defeat my own argument here because I don't think he is cool any more - he seems to have turned into Conchita Wurst - but he used to be.
PRS himself sees their lack of history as their biggest problem. Players ape their heroes - Gilmour and Knopfler were fans of Hank Marvin - so they both wanted Strats. That’s never going to change.
I’ve still not figured out posting pics correctly, but Vernon Reid still kinda counts as cool in my book.
I’m not really sure how this prejudice manifested itself, but I remember it has been there ever since I learnt to play a guitar when I was 18. Maybe I was influenced by a friend, or thought they were too expensive, or no guitarist I liked were playing them... maybe a combination of reasons.
However, I have nothing against PRS owners. In fact I tend to think anyone who owns a PRS must be a pretty good player. Again, not sure why.
Funny how often flippant decisions made when you’re young tend to ingrain themselves so deeply in your psyche...
