    What’s nice about this is lee trying to promote guitars and Paul just wanting to have a chat and a laugh with lee and Pete. When the guy who’s Brand it is would rather have a chat with you than sell his guitars knowing how large the audience for the channel is that’s a genuine compliment. One day i will be able to afford my custom 24 with a Floyd with a super flamed or quilted top in a crazy colour until then i will enjoy watching the fun antics of the guy that makes them and that genuinely cracks me up. Not many very large companies still have the boss kicking around and i love to see it. Shame there isn’t a vid off the previous night bet that kicked ass!

    I remember when PRS first came out it doesn't seem that long ago , I have a Guitarist magazine with a story of how PRS was born , it tells how Paul made a guitar and took it to Carlos Santana to use , great story and a great guitar company. I did a set up on a PRS for a friend and fell in love with it , I bought a brand new SE 24 which I still have and is still going strong , and then sold some other guitar's to get my full fat US PRS which I absolutely love . Great guitar's I still haven't tried the John Mayer PRS yet need to get round to it.

      He’s often joking or being brutally honest. I don’t think he’s ever passive aggressive. But I think the problem is that you’re looking at his personality and making assumptions that he might be intentionally mean based on his attitude and the tone of his voice sending negative messages.
      But people like Paul speak literally, not in hidden messages. Even when he’s joking it’s just a joke with no other meaning. You just need to understand his words to know what he’s saying, there’s no need to look for the other message. He’s a simple man who says what he thinks.

    I've tried many times to like them since the 1980s, but just can't. Not for me. If you like them, then all power to you.
    I can't say for sure what a PRS sounds like. I can pick a Telecaster when I hear it. I can pick a Les Paul. I can pick a Strat. I can even pick EMGs in a Superstrat most of the time. I can't tell it's a PRS being played though unless I can see it, or it's Carlos playing. Maybe I need to floss my lugholes, e.g., you thread the floss through one ear and out the other; then wiggle back it and forth cleaning both at once. Try it sometime. 😆
