I think only a couple of people have ever come up to ask me about it though.
I just looked at the options, then tried things and working out what suited me.
Someone asked my wife recently if I get groupies. She laughed and said “No he gets other guitarists looking at his pedals”. And it’s true, even she notices other players scrutinise my rig like it’s a lap dancers snatch in Spearmint Rhino.
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
The first time I ever saw a PRS in the flesh as it were, was in the nineties when I saw The Joe Ely Band opening for Robert Cray on his Midnight Stroll Tour, at the City Hall in Sheffield. Dave Grissom was playing a PRS.
I was so impressed with Joe Ely that I went out and bought the album Live at Liberty Lunch the very next day.
Grissom was superb and his tone with Joe Ely wasn't metal at all, it was country/blues rock and if anyone wants to hear a PRS in that style, then go and buy Live at Liberty Lunch. Why anyone would claim PRS's can only sound metal or sterile is beyond me when there are albums like that out there to prove the opposite. Maybe it's in the fingers and some people don't have the talent to get a good tone out of one.
Silver Sky is the closest they've got to being cool in my eyes, and its still only 50% as cool as a strat. Sorry not sorry
EDIT: I do take back 5% of what I said, I think Mayers tone when he had that private stock thing with Dead & Co was pretty refreshing and appropriate. Shame its a £10,000 one that sounds good.
We are too old.
They weren't played by our heroes.
It's a sign of the brand's success.
We don't have the talent to get a good tone out of one.
All ignoring the actual reason, as set out over various pages in this thread which is that they look shit and are the antithesis of cool.
But whatever floats your boat....and a Merry Christmas to one and all.
People don't like them because they are a sign of wealth. It isn't the guitars, it's the people who buy them you don't like.
And I gave you a lol.
You said the reasons given in the thread were not the ACTUAL reasons people didn't like PRS's. Then YOU gave what YOU claimed to be the ACTUAL reason.
I was pointing out that YOU don't have the ACTUAL reason at all. YOU merely have an opinion, which YOU have mistakenly identified as THE actual reason. I, in fact, have the true, genuine, ACTUAL reason. You don't like the people who can afford to buy them but that isn't something that you feel can be admitted to, so you dress it up, morphing the financial envy into a sneering "well they aren't cool are they?" As if YOU were the arbiter of what is and what isn't cool.
