An evening with Paul Reed Smith, discussing different guitar models and answering your questions live at Pitbull Audio. #PRSGuitars #PaulReedSmith #PRS
Best marketing saleman for a guitar company. He is passionate and real. No BS. I finally purchased a PRS and am so proud of having the best sounding guitar.
I was going to listen for a short while but ended up watching the whole thing. I am a beginning guitarist, and I have two great guitars but that 594 is a beauty. I like the fact that they are offering beautiful affordable guitars for those who wish to own a PSR. When my wife allows it and I can show her that I have improved my Mojo, then I can start looking for one. I might have to wait awhile if I wish to purchase an American model, but the new S2 line looks good. It is interesting as I like the SE colors better than the S2 colors.
I tell you what. If you ask Paul about a guitar you’re looking for and he finds it and hands it right to you. Buy it. Right there and then. If that ain’t the best service there is, I don’t know what is. What a cool video. Looked like a genuine good time.
My God this man is an inspiration. He's got this crazy combination of engineering, artistry, administrative excellence, and salesmanship. I am 100% sure that he'd be an industry leader regardless of what he ended up doing for a living.
In terms of a guitar having MOJO. NOT every guitar has mojo to every player. the guitar that speaks to me and makes me obsessed with it, and has that Mojo - may not have the same effect on you. And i think thats a beautiful thing. theres a guitar for everyone. and what may have mojo to me, may not have mojo to you. I wish Paul would have answered it this way. cause i believe it to be true.
I think Paul needs to shop the S2 line more than the private stock for speaking events. I’ve met several people with Prs guitars but I’ve never seen a private stock in the wild.
Yeah I never see private stocks at gigs, even for the really big artists who are signed by PRS. I'd love to own a private stock but they're just something I can't afford for the time being. I'd love to see more S2 and bolt on models coming to the brand in 2021
@@matthashobbies you have to go to a big fancy store, like this one, guitar center isn’t really equipped to sell anything but garbage. I grew up going to smaller family owned shops I couldn’t believe how poorly guitar center treats customers. They don’t even do a setup or polish things up. A lot of places never reopened the showroom after Covid and are stock piling more inventory for internet sales. That’s where the money is- the private stock and custom shop will he towards the back they are much more likely to get an online order than a walk in one. Unless you live in CA, NYC, Nashville etc you aren’t going to find any “destination stores” for the most part. There isn’t really a good store in my whole state.
Paul . acaba de traer mi guitarra prs p20 pink puedo enviarte la .. tenes representantes directos en ARGENTINA .. !? yo la compre en thomman pero no puedo devolverla es cara la devolucion .. hace poco que la compre y todavia debe tener la garantia.. le afloje las cuerdas y ahora trastea la 1ª 3ª y 6ª como hacemos con la garantia ... me la cambias manao a MANO POR UNA ANTIQUE WHITE.. !?
I love this every guitar as a story doesn't it? I would say you only need three guitars and acoustic acoustic electric and one like that too bad I have 14 got to thin the herd like they say. I really don't like what Gibson is doing. Surprised they didn't come after PRS. And their Quality Control sucks. I like the story this is really good
Does Paul wanna play a left handed guitar upside down, as a righty? No. I love Paul he's funny. But he's got a stubborn sort of hard headed quality. Wish the guy said what isaid as a response
finally i guess i´m gonna buy the antique white at my friends in jermany .. i don´t know why it makes me fell like a nail in my head since a month ago .. even if i had to pay all those F. taxes here in my country.. F.
I think he misunderstood the mojo thing.. the guys point is you can go through 20 guitars of the same make and model and one will stand out as the best .. Paul has limited that with his meticulous build quality .. it’s still there though .. 😎
@@KissaKolme lol yeah exactly. And the stories are all kinda disturbing like dark comedy- makes his customers sound crazy. Accent is a little similar too.
Disagree that a guitar that rings longer is a better guitar…it’s so far only better at one thing… ringing longer…what makes a guitar good is the way it resonates with the player…if a good player likes the the way a guitar looks and feels and sounds it will resonate with them and convey what they are feeling..
Rule of thumb: if an electrical guitar "rings" very long, when it´s not plugged into an amp, that´s a good thing. Mr. Smith is not the only one who says that, I´ve heard plenty of luthiers and pro guitar players say the exact same thing over the years.
Nothing wrong with ringing long but pushing that a guitar is better because of it is wrong. Prs does not have any amazing technology that other makers don’t have. Guitar technology was perfected with a 59 les Paul…they are not iPhones lol he seems to think prs belongs in the big three when really that is Gibson, fender and next probably Ibanez as they changed everything and created something for a totally different kind of player and have really pushed the envelope of playing style…prs are not bad guitars but they obviously don’t work for everyone or everyone including all guitar heroes would be playing them
muy tensa la interview .. ninguno ... esta relajado .. parece que Paulo lo s electrifica a todos... sus caras .. parecen estar a la expectativa de algun misil nuclear a punto de caer.. !
So i see a Don Juan guitar, maybe you call it Clarity, you have made a new line in an impromptu busineess, call it it he 4th enemy? you have so many marketing possibilities . Come on man use your genius ways.
57:01 What is that fingertip doing there? Later, never ever zoom in, without any reason. Besides, you are ACTUAL, and you were doing a great job, until you started messing up.
I like the guy who asked the question as to why any body will buy $5000.00 guitar over the $500.00 PRS. He couldn’t answer that. So he is basically making his own fake PRS guitars in Malaysia. Cheap Knock offs of his own Real USA made guitars that sell for thousands of dollars. Great salesman..

He has earned my business. Will be a customer soon.
Paul is the greatest salesman ever! Never played a PRS but now I want to...
Lol I was thinking the same thing. He's the Steve Jobs of guitar sales.
The more I listen to this guy the more I like his guitars.
2 Private Stock ($33000 spent) and a 10 top ($5600) because this guy is such a damn good salesman! (and even better guitar builder).
I want to be that passionate and excitable about a job and business someday.
I want all those guitar making jobs in America.
Came for the guitars stayed for the banter.
Great speaker. Great builder. Thanks for sharing. "The truth is, you can't make a beautiful guitar without loving it."
I was there that night. Paul is talking about Hans. :)
Paul was on fire here holy hell lmfao

When I got my PRS Custom 24, I felt like selling all my other guitars because it was just so far above and beyond.
“Mojo is if you dig it.” Just Paul out here speaking the truth.
love that Paul played a touch of "Song for Devadip" . . . one of my Santana favourites
I just love his sense of humour.
What an endlessly likeable person!🎸👍🏻
I love Paul’s honesty
My God this man is an inspiration. He's got this crazy combination of engineering, artistry, administrative excellence, and salesmanship. I am 100% sure that he'd be an industry leader regardless of what he ended up doing for a living.
Always a great listen
I would love a PRS guitar!! :)
Wow i am impressed
I love this guy!
Could listen to Paul all day. Cool geezer.
One of the highest IQ conversations I've heard on the web.
put me down for a LH se singlecut as well Paul, its the stop tail that makes it a want instead of the se custom 24, which I do have.
Owning a PRS seems more personal to me than when I owned a Fender.

I've had many different brands of guitars but recently bought a PRS best of all I've had over 30 years of many guitars

Left handed Silver Sky Please!
When you order a guitar now, february 2023, you'll get in 2021? How do they do that?!
Should guitars on display in guitar shops be set up and reasonably in tune so that customers can ask and play them?
I have a blue one and I also want a red one haha
Kiesel has more fretboard for the E strings, for the record.
Paul . acaba de traer mi guitarra prs p20 pink puedo enviarte la .. tenes representantes directos en ARGENTINA .. !? yo la compre en thomman pero no puedo devolverla es cara la devolucion .. hace poco que la compre y todavia debe tener la garantia.. le afloje las cuerdas y ahora trastea la 1ª 3ª y 6ª como hacemos con la garantia ... me la cambias manao a MANO POR UNA ANTIQUE WHITE.. !?
no .. i´m talking about the p20e .. the whity one.. yeah ..
Wait... the amount of private stocks are over 9000?
2:28 how I feel when I see a PRS interview
2021 is now first quarter of 2022 maybe longer.
12:18 "...Your should buy guitars the way women buy shoes!"
16:32 42" of sustain wow!
I swear my wood library is on the wall there

These people's questions are hilarious. People always want what is not available.
Most things don't become available unless people want or need them. After all, necessity is the mother of invention...
I bet you have been satisfied with every bullshit answer you have been given for every good question that you have ever ponied up and asked, EVER!?
HOLA PAUL ME REGALAS ESTA PERO EN COLOR PEARL WHITE .. TODA 1? YA LE PEDI A ELON QUE ME REGALE UN AUTITO TESLA TAMBIEN... !!!
I didn’t know Larry David performed at guitar stores
Wow, can't unsee that now :D hahahah
@@KissaKolme lol I can’t either that’s why I said it. This video in particular maybe not all of the time- the way he talks more than anything else.

Do people seriously just go to this clinics to argue with Paul?

Great salesman..
I thought the question was more about how long an SE note would ring out compared to a Core model..
The guy provides a quality product that can be expensive. And he's a dork
Look at what he's done with his life and his passion. I certainly haven't achieved anything close to it. How about you, Anthony?
