I had no idea PRS had another company that wasn't guitar related. Interesting. I personally don't care for PRS guitars. I believe they're great and nothing wrong with them, but they aren't my style of guitar. I do care about a companies ethos. I do care about what I want too and struggle with the back and forth for what one company stands for versus how it aligns with my ideals. I believe it's a bigger picture versus a single issue that makes enough impact for me to allow it to push me away from a company though. I also won't support a company just because they're pushing something positive or have a philanthropic aspect to their leadership. I mean it matters and is great but or their product isn't good, nah. If their product is good and they are was good company, awesome, bit of I don't care for the products they make, it won't push me towards their products. It is nice to know when companies do align with my personal beliefs though. It feels better buying their products, hands down.

is it possible to make it sound like this in a pod go =?

Awesome video have a great weekend Jim ❤😊

Glad you and your family are ok .

I almost like this more than a new piece of gear video. And yes. I love Prs for the man more than the tool. Just like I love dw drums still for John good.

At least for me, how the company treats their employees and competitors factors into my overall view of their products. It is part of the calculus, but not the primary factor, unless they are just a terrible company with no redeeming qualities. I think Gibson/Fender suing the Japanese companies to keep them out of the US market, only hurt the consumer and made them less competitive, because instead of matching the Japanese, they sued them. This does not make me not want to buy a Gibson or Fender, but it makes me more likely to look at their competitors, esp. the Japanese ones. It tarnishes their image. Can you imagine if the auto industry behaved in the same way.

What's the dif between this and the TD17KV2?

I didn't know Paul Reed Smith has this other company. That's awesome!! I don't own a PRS yet, but this info will influence future decisions. It is important to think about the other part of it. For sure.

That great news you're all safe. Great message and, am more than happy to donate. Will catch up soon, Robbo.

Glad you're safe. I have family in FL that had some flooding and damage.

Tele's are just a poor man's strat, missing a pickup, no tremolo, not great

Glad you're safe. I didn't know that about Paul Reed Smith but am not surprised. I recall that, early in the Covid-19 pandemic, he and other PRS executives kept US employees on the payroll during shutdown, taking on company debt to do so. (The only PRS guitar I've owned is a 2008 PRS Mira, but it's my favorite). For the question, I do care about the practices and ethics of companies whose products I buy, and it has become more important as I've gotten older. I think of it as, is this the kind of place (and the people) I want to help stay in business? It's an easier question to answer in some industries than others.

A wild Ampharos appeared! We were lucky that when we were in Sarasota and North Tampa that the biggest storms all veered toward Texas or the Atlantic, or petered out in the Gulf such that only the roads along the coast got flooded by swells. Good to hear you're safe. Paul is still a used car salesman, in my book, but nice to hear he has a heart. Besides, my biggest beef with PRS (since I've never played one) is that some of his mega-fans are totally insufferable! 😹

Glad you guys made it out ok after the storm!

We have gotten INCREDIBLY lucky down here in South Florida (Miami in my case), but make no mistake. A cat 4 hurricane is a catastrophe of massive proportions. We had Andrew in 92, which was 2 years before my time, but I have experienced a category 4 hurricane before, and I can tell you it's one of the scariest things you can imagine. Right as you walk outside, you see what was once your neighborhood gone and reduced to debris.

Glad you guys are ok, stay safe! One of my neighbors works for PRS as a lead data engineer. He works with Paul for over 20 years. I asked him about Paul and he said: Paul takes his shirt off his back and give it to you if you are in need. I live in Maryland, the PRS factory is about 15 minutes from my house, I also look at them as a job provider who feeds families around me.

That must be a new version. I been using the older version for several years. I really hear no difference. If can get 30 ft I am lucky. I did have a friend replace the battery and there is no place to do that in the usa. I found the parts on amazon and was able to repair it. The did offer a new set for a discount. My friends in the band use line 6 and this works just as good if not better and last a long time with the new batteries. I do like them and the new ones have 5.8 ghz and 150 ft.

i did not know about digital harmonic! wow

I must admit i don't give 2seconds of thought to who made my guitar as long as its good, if the specs and quality are there then im in! I can think of two brands right now just off the top of my head that i would love to support because I respect the owner and/or what the company is trying to achieve but the guitars do nothing for me so nope. Your talking to the guy with multiple Kiesels so you know how i roll😁

How many years until the next one? Two? GET OUT OF FLORIDA!

Glad you guys got through this unscathed, my heart goes out to folks who were not so lucky.

Is a Fiesta Red with 7.25" Rosewood Fingerboard and vintage control scheme too much to ask? Yes, apparently 😭

So glad you guys are ok and a great idea on the fundraiser! That’s also amazing news about Paul Reed Smith and his other company. He’s a divisive character at times but he did and does seem to have a good heart. Of course he’s in business too and that means certain things, but good to hear he’s trying to make a difference. 😊 Fantastic, honest video as ever and inspired me to pick my guitar up again. Love to you and the family out there man! 😊

How come did you play them with clean jazz????

We have a new music genre! Mariachi Surf Rock! I really loved this, especially the last track Come On! I find the mashup with these styles to be energetic, new and innovative. Brilliant work.

Digging this Jag. I need a Jag. I like the simplicity of it this way. Straight up rock and roll machine now. If I owned it, I'd cut a custom pick guard on my CNC to go over the additional cavity. Make it even more of a one of a kind. I look at it this way - most if not all "famous" guitars have quirks and tweaks to them, that's what makes them special. Rock on Jim and let me know if you want to sell that bad boy.

When you play 5 to 6 hrs a night, 4 to 5 days a week, comfort is paramount ... the weight of the instrument slung over your shoulder is a big part of that.

Props for the Music Man.

Yeah, Fujigen knock it out of the park. About to pull the trigger on a black lefty Strat of similar vintage. Great video as usual!

It's such a shame that the first iteration of this model is being overlooked. That was the one with three Super Hilitrons and a cat's eye's body. I've been playing Gretsch since the late sixties, and the early 5622 is easily the most versatile of all of them all.

I agree with everything you said. I feel when a person puts down $2300.00 to $2500.00 dollars on a guitar, it better be perfect. Most musicians don't have the money to waste on fixes and upgrades at that level. Other than that, a Beautiful instrument anyone would be proud to own.

On fender use 250k potentio or 500k ?

Good luck with yt!

Ethics?! Art is theft, my friend.

Currently, I have 7 guitars, but all my needs can be covered by three as I play in different turnings, hence, different scale guitars too. I already decided to move the other four to a different house so I do not suffer from option paralysis, maintenence, etc. I can't sell as they are left handed and there is almos 0 market for that in my country. Well that plus an acoustic, I meant you gotta have one right? Anyway, if it came to it, I think I would keep an 8 string 30 scale guitar and the acoustic one.

I actually liked the wireless better. Strictly speaking, each foot of guitar cable you use introduces capacitance and essentially rolls off highs. This may be better or worse for a player's purposes -- some guitarists even like the coiled cables to essentially add extra length and remove high frequencies. As is usual, trying to target slight tonal differences is kind of pointless, anyway, since you have EQ knobs on your amp to compensate in either direction, and playing in the context of a band will cover up the rest!

I like the ocean turquoise with plain white plate. Though i also like the squire blue sparkle fsr 70s vibe with matching headstock.

Mod shop also has no rhythm circuit. And its basically 2k for that rubbish. So, yeah. Get a 2nd hand vintera or something

I have a wireless system. I rarely use it, not for any reason though. I forget the brand. Definitely a difference in tone. Still sounds good wireless. For live performance it's probably great but nothing recorded or were that nuance matters.

I was unlucky to have my arm break in the block so I’m going to replace it or the whole bridge/trem. What do you think of the Vegatrem? I was thinking of getting this Callahan but it just seems so similar to the one I already have besides the block and the screw holes. I’m probably wrong but I’m wondering if the vegatrem is worth the extra 100.

so how do u know it werent special voiced jaguar pickups? how could you tell by yourself
