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.

on 04/27/2013 		Anybody who says prs don't sound good or that they have no soul are are either fanboiz for the other big two or they just haven't given them a chance. I admit it took some getting used to. But after a day or two with it I can say that this is my #1 in terms of playability and tone.

on 02/22/2012 		I am so bummed> I bought a PSR 25th anniversary guitas Angry Larry in color for my husbands 50th birthday. He got to use it only once and we took the guitar back to the store because the case is so tight that one of the switches on the guitar was being pushed through the wood on the face of the guitar. The store sent it back to the factory and it has been two months with no phone call or any news on when we might ever get it baCK. i WISHED i WOULD HAVE JUST RETURNED THE DARN THING AND BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BRAND.

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

on 10/22/2009 		Let's see, an '88 PRS Custom 24, '57 Les Paul Std., 72 Les Paul Custom, '62 Strat Rosewood FB, '71 Strat Maple FB, '80 Aria Pro II TS-600 the first 6-inline original. 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.

on 10/11/2009 		PRS guitars try to do BOTH-you know strat/les paul--and do neither-those shiny flamy guitars have no soul get one and plug into a mesa rectifier like EVERONE has for the last ten years and cop that elusive nickelback-creed tone!!!!-they're pretty to look at tho...
