Paul is a true gentleman. I am happy to see good things happen to good people, and Lee deserves all the accolades he gets. Well done Paul, you made MY day.
Paul is the sweetest guy on earth. Besides the high quality of his instruments, he's an absolute genuine gentleman. Paul is without a doubt the reason I'll always be proud to play PRS.
Captain, you are very deserving of this fantastic guitar. I've watched your videos for a few years now and what you bring to the guitar world is special. Andertons and the group of players you showcase are all so spectacular and just nice people that it's a channel I always look forward to seeing. Mr PRS, Thank you for giving this guitar to Lee. Now, Captain, play the heck out of it and we want to hear it.
That's so awesome. Paul seems so down to earth. I love it when huge companies don't care about sales and actually care about the people. That's amazing.
I'm in tears, man. Paul is a great guy, with a great heart. Andertons and Chappers' videos have already helped me a lot, with some difficults and new stuff that I learn everyday. Great mans will always be great mans, and Paul is showing that these great mans must receive their thanks. Thank you, Lee for all of your great videos and for being the great person that you are!
Paul Reed Smith is such a great person. That is such a kind act. Like how many other guitar company's have gave the captain his own guitar just by surprise. That's how much of a kind person he is.
I've only been playing guitar a couple months and have been watching your videos since I started, and this video is just truly touching. Can't wait to keep practicing so I can get good enough to justify buying one of his guitars. After watching this I wouldn't want to buy from anyone else, what a genuine group of guys
Congratulations Captain Lee. You deserve it. You're so humble, patient, and passionate. Thank you for persevering with the videos, love them all, keep them coming! Please start using your new guitar on the videos. Respect from Canada!
This is why I love Mr Paul Reed Smith, the amount of passion love and thanks he has towards everyone who helps him out with the company is just amazing. Congrats Captain
This is absolutely amazing!! Lee really deserves this! What he and his team have done for music companies all over the world is astonishing! And as the very generous Paul said, there are now no borders between countries when it comes to music! Brilliant!
Sharing the joy of playing nice guitar..... Oh, Captain, my captain.... yeah.... you deserve that wonderful guitar for all you have done connecting the community of guitarists all throughout the world. Thank you for it all.
YES!!!...J I have to say it gave me a BIG smile on my face, even a little tear in my eyes as well. I've followed you and Chappers since the beginning. And finally you were rewarded BIG TIME for all the great videos you have done. I'm so happy for you, and it's so well deserved. An awesome gift to a totally awesome and beloved guy. Now you have to promise me to make a video with Danish Pete playing and showing the beast.
Paul Reed Smith is a legend - making great playing and beautiful guitars affordable. Lee I hope you have great fun with the new guitar. Thank you Lee , Rob, Pete (tusind tak), and all the team at Andertons for all the fun demos and banter.
best video of the year for me. An amazing gesture from one amazing artist to a very humble man!!! Many thanks to both of you for keeping my passion alive!
Love this! You don't see any of the other big guitar brands handing out great guitars in appreciation very often. I've been following Paul & Lee's videos for years and they often give each other gifts (T-Shirts) at these interviews and it is cool seeing Paul 1-up the gift this year. This is the kind of advertising that pays off in the long run, because people want to buy products from companies they can relate and look up too.
Man, i didn't think i could be more of a fan boy of paul then i seen this. what a incredible act. i will never forget the felling of sitting down and playing my prs for the first time. some day i hope to meet him.
I love how speechless this made lee. It is soo cool that paul does this stuff. He heard about lees video and made it happen. Thats awesome. Cant wait to bring my own home.
That is absolutely awesome Lee! Well done Mr. Smith! What a beautiful thing to do. My estimation of PRS just skyrocketed! I welled up on your behalf brother!
Every time I've spoken to Paul during Gear Fest at Sweetwater hes been nothing but the most pleasant and attentive person! He engages you in conversation and appreciates your feedback! Keep the love of music and mucians alive Mr. Smith!!! :-)
Paul is right! Thank you Lee, the whole Anderton team and Rob. I watch everyone of your videos from Guatemala. Since here the music stores don't really have new equipment, and taking advantage of that the little stuff they got is double price compared to US and U.K. My only way apart from when I go on vacation to the US or other country to get to know new products and shape my sound is through you. So now I get to really know the stuff and order it online. Thanks so much.
Brilliant video in every single way. You can't fake sincerity love and passion like this. Respect. You're sooooo in the right job captn. Thank you for sharing.
wow this was awsome.. cool video of Lee and Pete observered in their natural habitat. .. And what a surprice from Paul to Lee.. well deserved I would say. A big thumbs up for all of the Andertons presenter team... in front and behind the camra!
I was lucky enough to meet Paul once, he really is that nice. He didn't give me a guitar but he is a genuinely good guy, deeply passionate about what he does and happy to share his time.
I watch you guys probably about 10-hours a day, every day! This was the most awesome seeing this happen to either one of you guys cause you're both totally awesome dudes! Very classy move by Paul and PRS. All heart.....
The guys at PRS are outstanding. Not only Paul, but sure, the leader gives the pace! Lots of guy find PR cocky and so. I find that he loves its work, its company. And he knows he has achieved a great accomplishment. Imagine start as repair man in your garage and now having a company that stand next to big G and F ones? I bet most people would get much more cocky than Paul by now! So, I loved that genuine act, a retribution for a good job from Anderson, a friendship (just look at the interviews between both of them), and well... great
Great video Paul Reed Smith is such an awesome person. You to connect with a friendship that seems longer than a lifetime. Congratulations on your new guitar. Saving up and practicing hard to achieve getting PRS CE guitar. Thank you both for all the content and great videos.
I don't comment that much but I want to say a massive thanks to you Lee. Your videos inspired me to buy my strat from Andertons and get back into playing after too many years out. Superbly engaging, informative, fun videos.
just tried the double cut 594 today. first Paul reed smith that hit the switch for me. I've never wanted to spend that much on a regular production model until this. Congrats!!
At the risk of getting sappy or sentimental or whatever, Lee is right. What's made the Anderton's videos successful is the joy that the players seem to take, the sense that you're sitting around with your mates talking about guitar and the sense that they all seem to appreciate that getting to play these guitars and make videos about them is a sweet gig.
If Paul Reed Smith had given me a guitar I don't know if I would've fainted, cried or peed my pants. He must be an amazing person. Congratulations, Captain Lee!
dude. i don't own an amazing guitar company and cant give away a sweet guitar but totally what to echo Paul's sentiment. noce one Lee thanks for the andertons channel and what youve done - enjoy the new guitar.
Congrats on the guitar Lee!! You truly deserve it. Love your videos like paul said "They're honest and their human." Can't wait to hear the new guitar on the next video!
Not only does PRS make THE most beautiful guitars in the world Paul is a true gentleman. I litterally teared up when he gave Chapper's that guitar.
J Cheek the captain, not chapters :)
Yeap...not thinking properly. Serious sinus infection. Thanks for catching that!
J Cheek get well soon man!
He gave Chappers one a while back.
Whiskers B Yes, he did. I saw that one too.
This video made me cry. The joy on Lee's face.
How dare you. I'm not black.
yeah, rich man giving another rich man a guitar... really moving 💩
Ben Gosling I agree. The rich get richer...
Yeah, it was actually quite moving!
i'VE BEEN CRYING NOW FOR TEN STRAIGHT DAYS. OH, THE HUMANITY.
I'm tearing up watching Lee tear up. Wonderful video.
There is no one more worthy of such a gift from Paul. Lee is a true gent.
Paul Reed Smith is such a wonderful guy. Bless his heart. Congrats Cap !!
John Mayer at Andertons !
You just got to love Paul. He's such a great guy. I love his enthusiasm.
Very deserving gift. Your reaction says it all, Lee. Very grateful and humble, drawn back at a great gift. Cheers from California guys.
hahahaha Lee's face when Paul threw it!
I love how the Captain is so touched by Paul's present.
I love seeing Lee nearly speechless from this! Really nice gesture by Paul.
What an awesome show of character from both Paul and Lee. Both great and humble men. That was really cool to see.
Paul is a true gentleman. I am happy to see good things happen to good people, and Lee deserves all the accolades he gets. Well done Paul, you made MY day.
Paul is the sweetest guy on earth. Besides the high quality of his instruments, he's an absolute genuine gentleman. Paul is without a doubt the reason I'll always be proud to play PRS.
my '99 McCarty is my baby.

Mr PRS, Thank you for giving this guitar to Lee. Now, Captain, play the heck out of it and we want to hear it.
WOW Awesome!
What an bloody nice thing to do for you Captain Lee
That's so awesome. Paul seems so down to earth. I love it when huge companies don't care about sales and actually care about the people. That's amazing.
Awesome! Gotta love guys like that, he really brings a personal touch to the business.
I'm in tears, man. Paul is a great guy, with a great heart. Andertons and Chappers' videos have already helped me a lot, with some difficults and new stuff that I learn everyday. Great mans will always be great mans, and Paul is showing that these great mans must receive their thanks. Thank you, Lee for all of your great videos and for being the great person that you are!
Paul Reed Smith is such a great person. That is such a kind act.
Like how many other guitar company's have gave the captain his own guitar just by surprise.
That's how much of a kind person he is.
john mayer meets cap10 would be a UA-cam highlight for me.
That'd make me happy !

Can't wait to keep practicing so I can get good enough to justify buying one of his guitars. After watching this I wouldn't want to buy from anyone else, what a genuine group of guys
Stock in Paul Reed Smith just shot up. What a beautiful person.
Paul makes me proud to be from Maryland. great guy.
Same. Love the guitars. Ever been to the actual factory out in Stevensville?
This is one of the reasons I love PRS and am glad to own one. Hey Lee, now to do a demo/review video of your new guitar!!!
Congrats Cpt. Lee. Well deserved and may you have many memorable years of playing that guitar. Greets from South Africa.
Congratulations Captain Lee. You deserve it. You're so humble, patient, and passionate. Thank you for persevering with the videos, love them all, keep them coming! Please start using your new guitar on the videos. Respect from Canada!

Lee. Your team's NAMM coverage was so well-planned, fun, insightful, complete and quality. You raised the bar.
I love this video. The first thing Lee plays on his new guitar is an A major chord then the “Captain Lee” lick
Lee, you totally deserved this gift, Paul say it, by what you provide to the worldwide guitar community.
YES!!!...J I have to say it gave me a BIG smile on my face, even a little tear in my eyes as well. I've followed you and Chappers since the beginning. And finally you were rewarded BIG TIME for all the great videos you have done. I'm so happy for you, and it's so well deserved. An awesome gift to a totally awesome and beloved guy. Now you have to promise me to make a video with Danish Pete playing and showing the beast.

You guys have dominated NAMM coverage.
Well done, congrats Lee! No one more deserving for sharing your passion with us all and your pleasant, gracious down to earth attitude.
Its amazing that out of all the guitars that go through Lee's store THIS is THE guitar he lusts after. And Paul was so generous to give him one. Wow!
That is the sweetest thing i have seen in a long time. A fine guitar for a nice bloke. Sometimes the world just works!

Paul is right! Thank you Lee, the whole Anderton team and Rob. I watch everyone of your videos from Guatemala.

The child like enthusiasm that the Captain displayed brought a real smile to my face.
That Paul segment is the best NAMM video of the show - amazing. Lee you are a lucky bugger! Love the bromance too!
just tried the double cut 594 today. first Paul reed smith that hit the switch for me. I've never wanted to spend that much on a regular production model until this. Congrats!!
Worth the trip across the pond for that amazing guitar. Well deserved.
Lee said he wanted one and then gets one gifted to him, how awesome is that ! Enjoy making music on that beautiful guitar.
Paul is such a genuine guy. The look on Lee's face when he chucked the guitar was priceless.
At the risk of getting sappy or sentimental or whatever, Lee is right. What's made the Anderton's videos successful is the joy that the players seem to take, the sense that you're sitting around with your mates talking about guitar and the sense that they all seem to appreciate that getting to play these guitars and make videos about them is a sweet gig.
