Check out the new models on display at Experience PRS, see inside the factory, and see Dweezil Zappa pick wood for his next guitar. Also, a very impressive cake.

PRS guitars are finely crafted instruments that fit like a hand made suit with incredible tonal capabilities-- the soul is left to the individual.

Had a few hard times over the years due to medical crap.... sold ALL except the '62 Strat, and selling the PRS was very hard, but the price diff between that and the Aria...well, all I can say is that Aria sounds easily like the PRS and a whole lotta others, STOCK. I will one day buy another PRS, and I know this is about PRS, but that Aria Pro II....I wish I had had the foresight to buy half a dozen of them in 1980, and fitted them with different configurations. Truly an awesome axe, and if I could find a couple more in pristine condition (like mine), I'd snap em up immediately.
Ultimately though, PRS have such a beautiful sweet multi-tone set. Hard to beat.

on 10/12/2009 		To say a prs has no soul is like saying I cant drive 140 mph in a new corvette because the seat isnt adjusted properly. I have old guitars and new ones and I play them all through old amps and new ones. I think to many people are hung up on the gear and not working and practicing on their playing and their tone. You cant just plug anything into anything and expect magic.It takes work.

Every guitar has a different tone and personality so it really takes a lot flavors. PRS guitars are the only ones that studio engineers say always play in tune. I want a singlecut with a wide thin neck and a trem. Custom Shop I guess. Hey Paul- Can you help a fella out?

on 10/04/2009 		I own a few PRSs and while they are great guitars from a manufacturing stand point they just don't get the tone from the 60s and 70s that I like. I got rid of a Custom 24 10 top (yeah, I know that I could have changed the pickups) and replaced it with a Mira because the tone is so, so much better. The company to watch in the electric world is Taylor. BT and company are making some tonally fantastic and innovative electric guitars. I generally still love my PRSs but Taylor has caught my ear.
