Be optimistic it's 2021, this guitar is half-fretfull.
Don't fret too much. :D
aged like milk lmao
refretfully true.
When your up to your ass in aligators, it helps if your frets only halfway up your neck.
What a solo man. Utterly world class. Did he sign it, by the way?
Seriously though Im astonished, he’s improved a ridiculous amount over the years and its been amazing to watch that. This guitar is sick too

I’m not shocked at all PRS would be on board for this, I worked there years ago and we did some rad stuff for folks, that guitar sounds amazing!
Argh, that jam is one of the best things I've ever seen and heard on a guitar. I've watched it over about 20 times. It's immense man.
Imagine this being the future of guitar and he has the first note of how PRS wanted it made. Literally an artifact
With microtonal music picking up interest, it seems the next natural evolution.
Agreed. I can actually picture Eric Johnson playing with something not unlike this, at least for fun, and maybe Steve Morse.
Who else is proud that Tyler represents PRS on a lot of things. He has come a long way
Everybody disses on him for being such a supporter of them, but they’re freaking amazing guitars. And he’s willing to come out and say it
@@michaellake274 so true, PRS only makes high-end guitars unlike other brands that also make high-end guitar and low-end. PRS=Prestige.
He loses kool kid cred with the internet at large, but honestly, PRS makes flippin great guitars, so why wouldn't he?
@@rakkasakkay9708 The low end PRS are actually more like Mid ranged xD
Great player and awesome ambassador. Nothing wrong with liking PRS; best production electrics made, IMO.
Pretty damn sweet brother, and your jam is killing it. I can only imagine that the marketing department at PRS is getting the copyright and patents established for this new hybrid. I know there are a lot of fretless guitars out there, But what this guy has put together for you is definitely a beauty that's for sure. Again, that was definitely a killer jam you put together, sweet.
this guy lol
80% Skill, 20% of rare instrument... only a few people can play a guitar like that without be de-tunned, and ever less can play so nicely. Congrats man!!!
That guitar could end up being insanely valuable if it spawns a whole new generation of guitars. Incredible axe man.
Exactly ... ^v^
Weird to think in like 60 years that guitar is going to be insanely valuable
This isn't a new idea, so doubtful.
@@BobPapadopoulos It is for a PRS model. So it will be valuable regardless.
This is amazing. The market needs these hybrid guitars

@@alex-simpson haha yes i play cello too
@TwoSetViolin wants to know your location
same but upright bass
I’m a guitarist and I don’t even know what that is, maybe I just suck
Paul loves what he does. He isn’t afraid to try things. This is the best time to get a PRS, where the man whose name is on the guitar is still calling the shots and is heavily involved. The guitars are a reflection of him. The upmost quality.
That is actually spelled/spelt UTMOST! But..... You knew that. You just wanted to see how many peeps would jot it down here!! Well LMB the first!
Edit from👎to👍
then I don't understand why Scott Grove called him a 'cock waffle' .....!?
@@NikkieRoxxx Oh yeah, I remember that and "moron" too even though he did admit Paul was "very smart" in the same breath. Scott just doesn't subscribe to the 'tone' woods school of thought that Paul leans towards.
The italians at EKO Guitars did exactly this on the early 70s.... nothing new under the sun...even some even half frets ...that way you can get the lower notes in perfect pitch while the fingers compensate on the fly on the first to 4th string...congrats on that lovely sound....nice guitar chops , cheers from Buenos Aires...! happy 2021..!
They need to produce this instrument!! It’s sounds amazing and adds a whole new flavor!! Very cool!!
Have a neck built by Warmoth…basically grind down the frets to the board…
“You’ve gotta pay attention to make sure it’s in tune”
Violin players: first time?
Yea man, after playing violin/viola for a while, you go back to playing guitar and you barely try anymore.
I was looking for this comment
After getting a hold of guitar after playing violin, they’re both nothing to me. I feel godly. Nothing can stop me.
Yeah violin u gotta know exactly where to put your fingers where as guitar u just follow the fretts
I was thinking about violins and such. Does a guitar even need frets? They are just there for reference? Cuz if so I’d rather have a fret less guitar with some thin lines drawn in so I can have some different tones in between at will

its the huge reverb that does it with sound kinda cheating
The most amazing thing about this video is that FedEx didn’t just leave it on the sidewalk!
Because he greeted the FedEX driver with a camera maybe?
I've been really pissed with fedex lately. The local driver has taken to tossing sensitive signature required parcels over the fence in his best no contact way and driving off. Not happy.
Get to know your delivery guys. I know them by name and chat with them regularly. It helps.
Don't use dhl if you don't like fedex 🤣
@@tomliemohn624 Thats when you walk up and start coughing near him.
Really just watched that jam at the end 5 times in a row lol fucking well done👏👏👏
Right?!
ha ha ... me too! :)
I just love your composition!
This is some serious innovation. They should seriously consider making this. They are going to make (even more) history.
I’d buy one. No questions asked
I'm interested...
Just go to your friendly neighborhood guitar-tech, it's a really easy mod and shouldn't cost much, but to be completely honest I tried it about 13 years ago and ended up deciding to remove all the frets from that guitar, the high registers of the guitar didn't sound good (probably because I didn't own no reverb or delay pedals at the time), they just really don't sustain that well, unless of course you use an e-bow.
I don't mean to be nasty, but it's really not that innovative. There's a world of amazing fretless instruments, strangely fretted instruments etc out there. Worth some exploration, enjoy :)
if you close your eyes though, it sounds like really fluid whammy bar work when he is in fireless-land
PRS is getting such great advertisement through their friendship
Amen. They'll send a new guitar every week. And they should!
We also get great content based on their friendship.
Overpriced piece of wood seller needs all the help they can get.
Friendship? It's clearly a business relationship.
The solo in the end of the video i amazing. You've found the balance between regular traditional way of guitar playing and the features of the fretless instruments such as slides, slide made vibrato, bends, slide made constant bends. Hats off.
“Can’t overstate that enough” means every time you praise them it’s an overstatement. Cool video.
as a guitar player whose first instrument was violin, a guitar like this would be really fun to have.
same. if i can’t buy it i’ll just make it 😈😈😈😈😈
@@justinmolina6 hammers n nails exist for a reason😼😼
Try a fretless banjo
Try true trimalo guitar . All notes in tune
Same
That jam in the end was so fire Zuko could bend it
it was so intense it was blue flame !
The fact that you actually get to talk to Paul himself is incredible! I know this is an old video but that is crazy!
Omg please produce music with this beast! What you wrote needs to be on Spotify lol
The Fed Ex guy as he was walking up to his door step probably said "Hey Tyler"
lolll😂
"This is a one-off. PRS is not building these for anyone."
And the world wept.
I would totally buy one. What's the matter don't you guys like money! "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"
just take a guitar and rip out the upper frets, fill in with epoxy. not that hard.
My band teacher wanted a fretless bass and ended up making it himself.
you can have any luthier do this for you
Kinda similar to malmsteem's signature in that sense
Looks like PRS owes Tyler an autograph. 1M views! Way to go!
Got Damn boy, I got goosebumps. Those organic-sounding highs are how I always imagined the perfect electric guitar would sound.
we have officially arrived at 1 million views. send it back immediately.
"PRS is not making a production line of these" - which means that any company who does will make a fortune.... nice freakin tune with some unique licks on your part.
i think that if i had one of those i might leave all of my other guitars in their case.
Might as well. I only play within the first 11 frets anyway. Lol
Cool idea but I really don’t see a whole lot of people buying this tbh. I mean if I wanted a fretless I’d just get a fretless. The half and half thing is pretty limiting in a lot of ways
@@saywhat4314 well good luck getting a fretless you either get an 8000 dollar vigier or a chinese copy that will fall apart in minutes of playing
Well vigier are and they are not making any money at all from this
@@saywhat4314 It's limited, but versatile. That's the story with anything really. Fully fretted guitars can't do what fretless can, fretless can't do what fretted can. So as much as it's limited, it's also enabled to do more than one or the other. So it has its own unique qualities.
Id love to get a cheap telecaster and mod it just like that! That slide sound/tone is just amazing! That guitar can sound like 2 specific guitars at the same time.
i tell myself if find bluesy soloing boring then i hear this and it's fucking fire. Such a fun solo.

*Hi, Music Is Win. I'm SO GLAD YOU UPLOADED THIS VIDEO! This has really made my day! I'm thinking about making my Telecaster half-fretted. What I'll do, though is keep the first 12 frets and fill in the rest with wood filler. My Tele also has only 1 pickup in it! The neck pickup and it's a humbucker. It already sounds bloody epic, but after this job, it's probably gonna sound blinkin' INSANE! I can't wait, so thank you very much! BTW, I hope this vid gets over a million views, like you want it to!! 😆*
I have only just seen this and it has blown me away. This guitar has so many great things going for it, you need to make more music with this as that solo you did with it was amazing. I’d love to hear more from this. Great job!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍
imagine casually saying you have paul reed smith on speed dial
And he actually talks to u
Your playing starting at 8:30 is one of the greatest performance I have ever heard on a youtube "guitar review", just amazing!
That was monsterous!! Creative is not sufficient to explain what just happened! Thanks man...great JAM!!!
What you played at the end really was so nice to listen to
Wow! I like the idea!!

Why would they not make more of these? You just handed them the perfect commercial for it. Sounds badass, congrats! :)
Got to drive up the demand enough first, to make it worth tooling up for production.
@@BrightBlueJim over 85k people like this video :P
@@extrazero1593 That's right. But they didn't know this was going to have 85k likes when they refused to commit to making these. We'll see if they think enough of those likes will convert to orders, to make it worthwhile. Likes are cheap.
because this is not the proper way of doing it, they just used an off the shelf neck and ground the frets low "enough" (not enough for what people would expect in that price range, though).
@@dushk0 Yes, that would explain why they have no interest in modding existing guitars. The proper way would be not to have frets beyond the ones you want to use. But this is the way to do it if you just want to see what it's like to play such an instrument without going fully custom.
Tyler and PRS' interactions make me feel like I'm visiting a persnickety, funny family member and I love it.
Man, I love the piece you threw together for this!
It’s awesome! 🔥🔥🔥
Just found your channel. Playing guitar for 30 years this this is the most amazing thing ever.

Tyler: "If I have you on speed dial, why would I want to do anything else than what we're doing now?"
Paul: *dog noise*
The birds on the fretboard are beautiful! They remind me of Jónsi's from Sigur Rós
Easy enough to do - done it to an old BC Rich, fretted up to 7th and everything upwards taken out. I also took out the dot inlays, filled the fretslots and dots + coated the smooth fretboard up with dark epoxy up to the highest fret.
It's a nightmare to get the radius back, and it took me a good while, but it works.
Playing chords is still available, and everything up is all pie in the sky....

that lead was EVERYTHING!
Dude.... complete a finish studio recording of your peice and sell it on iTunes and other music service.. It sounds pretty sick and I'd buy a copy of it.
Seeing what kind of person Paul Reed Smith is, makes me want to start saving up to buy a PRS guitar.
I always loved the guitars, but meeting Paul and everyone at the factory made me fall in love. Its more than a great instrument, its a group of people who just love music and building. Truly a special thing to be a part of. I encourage anyone if they can to visit a PRS Experience event at the factory when things get back to normal, there youll realize why its more than a brand and hes more than a brand owner.
There really isn’t anything that compares to the feel of a core level PRS. Best feeling guitar I’ve ever played, and it isn’t close.
@H W I have one and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played

Gaddayum son! That was a tasty jam at the end there bro... That is some serious skill you've got!

Tyler, you NEED to make your composition into a full song, it's so amazing!
Wow! That slide style riff is now stuck in my head for at least a day. Thanks man
Ribbon tweeters are so warm and lovely:)
This guitar allows to play microtonal music and exotic eastern scales, let's try it!!

Super cool, gives the high notes a unique 'bent' sound while still keeping a solid undertone! Love it
the section at 9:48 sounds so sick and unique, impressed with this i r
It's a cool ass riff, though it's quite easy to play. Less is more as they say!
Whoa mugi, youre interested in an instrument other than a keyboard?
I thought this would sound weird, but it's incredible. It really does sound like a slide. Badass. This channel is great, Tyler. Cheers!
I hope you got PR to sign your guitar. You are a walking ad. They should send you more prototypes so you could show them off! Long time watcher and admirer that you play with heart. I'm 65 and retired. You have taught me and inspired me so much but I am an intermediate and not a shredder. I got inspired by the Foos and started playing again! You're my hero.
Glad you got the views, probably my favorite vid of yours. Cheers!
This is a genius way to bring yourself back into tune with your 1st through 10th fret and then run back into a lead across the fretless. Thank you so much for sharing!
Just a casul observation. Your licks on the fretless area sound better than the fretted ones.
I think so too, but I’m not sure why.
@@josephmiller997 s t a n k y
It’s the smooth transitions of the notes of me. I know it’s an electric guitar, but it sounds so fresh and different. I could see this becoming a more common concept.
Best line in the video - "Not all heroes wear capes."
Waiting for the picture with Paul's signature now! Very cool!
Suggestions of things you should try next with this guitar: [1] Sliding 6th intervals without lifting your fingers [2] Left hand to outline some triads with tapping (think of Satriani's Midnigth) while right hand do some slide melody [3] Can a pinch harmonic be slide thru the fretless section of the fretboard? [4] Use an e-bow
You always try to bring something new to the table, I like that about you. Great jam at the end probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard 🤟🏻 “keep shredding”
Wow, this is just amazing. For some reason this sounds familiar, but is really special too.
Did you this guitar get signed when it hit 1m???? I always come back to this video, that solo gives me chills every time 🤘
