Maybe switch brain on before derailing a thread next time. Do you have anything constructive to add? If not, please leave us to it.
If you feel the need to be rude because someone disagrees with you then maybe you should leave it?
Haven't you all got jobs to be getting on with or something?
He does describe this as 'informed bullshitting' but I agree with nearly everything he said.
Sounds like some of y'all got out of the wrong side of the bed today.
Anyway....
FWIW, I thought the video was exactly what would be expected and quite enjoyed it. He explained what they were trying to achieve with the guitar e.g. consistent build, more usability in different pick-up positions, why they went with the headstock etc.
Sure, there was a bit off waffle about curves and lines but surely that's to be expected when asking a musician to describe a builder realising their vision (or whatever)? Apart from a couple of bits it was fairly reasonable and frank IMO.
Whether they achieved what they set out to do or not is obviously what's open to interpretation.
Not a massive fan of the guy or PRS but think they've made a pretty good guitar. Not everyone's cup of tea but a worthwhile addition to the modern Strat market. If Tyler, Suhr, Tom Anderson, Vigier etc can make a modern Strat-style guitar then PRS are fully entitled to their take and let the market dictate if it's a success or not.
Don't think I'll ever be looking for another Strat type guitar but if I was I would be happy to try one
..and of course Fender have been tweaking Strats for years anyway
As for looks, sound, JM etc. it's personal taste rather than crap vs not crap isn't it?
Give me someone's bullshitty ramblings any day of the week
I agree with @Modellista that the JM connection is somewhat off-putting - though this is largely the case with ‘any’ signature guitars for a lot of people, I’d imagine.
I need to make the effort to play one. I have no doubt it’ll be a very well-sorted guitar.
/edit I still hate it though lol. Well not hate, I just don’t see the point of it.
Interesting line about wanting to modernise the Stat for years.
