PRS had to do this. The SE line had gotten so good, it was almost on par with the S2 models.
100% with you on this. Wonder what they will do to separate Core from S2 now. Any thoughts?
Not even sure why someone would buy an S2. The SE's are barely different at all.
@@ThomasJackMoore To answer your question, despite being mid range priced, they are some of the best built guitars in the market. With the new pickups, now also one of the best sounding. That’s why people would want to buy it
@@mr.sorenzonot much separates the core and the S2. It is just a flex if you have a core and the carved top is slightly prettier. Core model is almost like a custom shop where it doesnt serve a practical improvement over the production models, but it is desirable for people who want something personal and special.
@@manofthepeople2165 with the new core pickups being in S2, I agree with you almost all the way. They are not exactly the same. But very very similar
None of the guitar builders I know would agree that the tonewoods chosen even for a solid body electric make very little difference. For example, Dave Walsh of Eternal Guitars (UK based) has demonstrated to me just how different sounding different solid-body guitars are, even when the same pickups are used.
And I've found plenty of other examples where the guitar can sound dead, regardless of the pickups used. But put those same pickups in a guitar made with good quality wood and the tone is massively improved.
This is not going to make a big impact on Fender or Gibson - PRS only make 120 (approx) Maryland guitars per day. This may expand a bit, but they are limited to how many they can sell and maintain quality.
So fender and Gibson will likely not feel compelled to change anything as the threat is minimal.
Zoe that’s an excellent point actually! Thanks for discussing with facts! I missed this angle in the video.
Looking at it now, US Fender does about 500-600 & US Gibson is about 200 a day if I’m not mistaken. It won’t be a total take over obviously. My thought is that even if it tilts it from Gibson to PRS for 10, that’s 5% that’s still significant. But you have a valid point. We also have to consider PRS’ capacity to produce more without cutting on quality. So you think PRS won’t even take 5-10% from the other two?
Thanks again, and please do comment these facts more on my videos! I need more people to put my feet on fire when it comes to my analysis vids.
PRS is also a metal guitar because they have 24 frets, thin necks, and humbuckers.
Now, they are trying to break into blues and jazz with their Silver Sky and 594 models.
Also yes, you are right, all the companies need to improve the value proposition of tbeir midrange. For example, Epiphone is now offering guitars with all Gibson USA electronics, custombucker pickups, and one piece mahogany necks for $1299.
The mid range market (1300-2000ish) is gonna be the most important market.
Firm handshakes 🤝🏼🥃
Just got a 2023 S2 custom 24 two days ago…. Luckily enough it was the 10th anniversary with the American pickups and electronics or I’d be pissed 😅
😂 yeah you dodged the bullet on that one. Is it the red one you got?
You forgot to mention one thing about Gibson that just blows my mind and that’s the fact they completely have zero quality control. They should be embarrassed by a large amount of crap that leaves that factory. Sad really
You’re 100% right! You’re not gonna believe this but Gibson quality control WAS there in the initial cut😂 I took it out in the last edit before posting because I thought if I bash them more strongly, Gibson fans wouldn’t get the message. The message being the need for innovation and not “Gibson sucks”. If you know what I mean. But it was there
What is so special about PRS pickups ? Fender has put custom shop pickups on non USA models for years, Gibson/Epihone has done the same as well. I have no heard a single guitar player say I gotta have PRS pickups. It is quite the opposite most guitar players prefer Seymour Duncan or Dimarzio.
There really isn't anything. I'd take a JB and stacks over anything any of them are making.
Everyone has their own taste in the sound. PRS pickups have had their own fans (including myself) for a while now. The point is that the sound that many loved but couldn’t afford, is now accessible in a mid rage guitar.
I agree that most metal/rock players prefer Seymour, Dimarzio or EMGs. I love the Seymour’s Nazgül and Alpha.
But not jazz or blues players
and Fishmans for metal players I might add
@@mr.sorenzo sure but do you really think most people are looking for the sound out of a PRS pickup outside of the PRS club? Probably not... The only time i have heard anyone rave about PRS pickups is from a friend who is a hooded member of the PRS lawyer dad cult.
@@irife2771 “Lawyer dad cult” got me😂
Btw believe it or not I got into the PRS club 15 years after having to leave/escape home at 17. It’s been a long grind to be able to afford this. But I hear you. They are pricey. But that’s beside the point.
To answer your question yes I think there are others who are interested. You can hear the sound of a guitar that someone else is playing/ or has played, and you fall in love with it. The demand for the core models, and now the S2 is not out of nowhere. You can’t just put a crappy product out, put a big price tag on and expect people to buy. Look what happened to Gibson’s sales after their quality assurance issues.
Personally, I don't think PRS is really competing with Fender. I don't think that someone who is in the market for a Jazzmaster or a Mustang or a Telecaster is going to choose a PRS S2 Custom24 all of the sudden because it has the same pickups as the core models... Perhaps you can make an argument for Gibson fans, but I tend to think that people who still like Gibsons in spite of all of their various issues over the years - their inconsistent quality control, their media fumbles, their insistence on perpetually catering to the aging Boomer market - will probably continue to stick with Gibson.
Different perspective to mine. But still is well thought and well argued. Thanks heaps for sharing pal! 🤝🏼 Please do share your thoughts more on my vids. Need more respectful well thought disagreements
Fender and Gibson will continue to dominate the US market IMHO. The main issue most players I know have with PRS are the body shapes and or that goofy looking headstock. I know there's clear and specific science behind the PRS headstock shape and it makes perfect sense to me. I think where PRS will continue to kick butt and take names is in the import market. Now that Epiphone had upped their game, PRS took some serious action and I fully expect them to eventually crush both Epiphone and Squire in the USA. I just heard they're finally releasing a left handed Silver Sky SE, it's about flippen time. I bought one PRS SE. It's so well built it rivals many of my USA made instruments. The big issue is that it's completely dead sounding. I know I should just change the pickups and quit whining, but it's a matter of why should have to? I spent just under a grand on that guitar. To me, for that kind of money, I shouldn't have to change anything. Anyway, trust me on this, if the Silver Sky comes in some decent colors in lefty, I'll be on board for one STAT. Cheers
I mostly agree with you.
I thinks PRS is getting a chunk of their market share this and next year. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🥃
Imagine if PRS SE released a guitar with USA pickups and electronics to compete with Epiphone's 1959 Les Pauls.
@@manofthepeople2165 I mean the single cut 594s kinda do that, no?
@@mr.sorenzo i'm not familar. So the SE 594 SC has USA pickups in it?
@@manofthepeople2165 sorry not the SE. The S2 single cut McCarty 594s have the US pickups. It’s their closest model to LP
Gibson for high gain
Fender for cleans
End of story
Un-athletic story😂
PRS with Seymour Duncan Alpha or Nazgül for high gain.
Seymour Duncan Scarlett or Omega for clean.
End of story😂
Be athletic💪🏼🎸
PRS makes great guitars, but Fender and Gibson are going to be just fine.
They will lose market share. They are still feeding off their innovation in the 60s.
The internet is hilarious. “Destroy” ok, sure. Except they can charge 50k for a guitar and sell out instantly. I think they are making bank. Why should they care if thats what you consider “destroyed” lol
They can’t charge 50k for a guitar and sell instantly. That’s not how business works. If you constantly put crappy products out, and don’t innovate, you’ll lose market share and loyal customers.
But yeah, ironically we can agree that internet is hilarious. But probably not for the same reason😂
I mean Gibson has been really subpar and horrible for a while now tbh
I hear you on that. My problem with them is: 1. absolute lack of innovation and feeding off their on work in the 60s.
2. Quality control. Boy it got really bad at some point
They’ll lose more and more market share
@@mr.sorenzo couldn't agree more.
@@asserkortteenniemi4878 Firm handshakes 🤝🏼
I'm so sad that Fender will be dEsTroYeD by 2025. lol
😂😂
Don’t be so sad. Bad for you
@@timtyler4011 😂😂😂
No, it won’t-still a PRS & has no soul or mojo not to mention a horrible neck joint, just a piece of furniture with too much finish on it
Guitars have souls? 👻
