A Good Reason to Destroy a $5000 Guitar?

[JoeSzilagy]

I also imagine the neck wouldn't break away from the body quite that easily with a real PRS!

[Deneteus]

The funny part about this is a month ago PRS was telling us how the guys in Korea have more production experience that his guys at PRS. He has alot of respect for their Luthiers. He actually went there and made sure they made them exactly to his specifications. I actually have a MIJ Fender HM Strat that says Made in America on it.

These replicas are as good or better than the prs.

lol at first i just thought those goats where playin a really tasty riff with their tounges. lol :P baaa :P i am the goat that sold my soul to play tasty riffs! :P baa baa!!!

[jadochararo]

WHY!!??



[bmwm3cs]

It's his guitar so he can what ever he wants with it. But I just don't get it.

[LegendaryTones]

@bmwm3cs The idea behind the video was a quasi-shock to encourage people to check out my information site at LegendaryTones where I wrote an article about the problems of counterfeit guitars. This 'PRS' is a counterfeit model, so I had no problems 'destroying it'. If it was a truly a $5,000 guitar, I'd deserve to be hung or beaten!

@LegendaryTones THE GUITAR IS FAKE???

[ParkWayDrive011111]

METALLLLL

[RUFAZ1987]

[LegendaryTones]

@KisameofAkatsuki5 yes, a little bit of Hendrix influence there.

[TheCalifornium]

he does that, because he is a fucking asshole.

[LegendaryTones]

@TheCalifornium. Relax - it's a COUNTERFEIT guitar from Korea marked as a PRS. Trying to give some awareness about the subject in a different way. Check out my site and read the article and if you still think I'm an asshole, then let's chat :)

[RcUniverseGuy]

@LegendaryTones could have gave it to me

[LegendaryTones]

@RcUniverseGuy, I was actually able to glue the neck back together and string it up so it's still functional (not as pretty now though)!

@LegendaryTones lol you should make a vid of it

[BCECVM48708]

best thing that could happen to a Piece of Rotten Shit

[christiandistroyer]

maldito estupido jajajaja ohhhh si

[samgar2]

Destroy the strat!! Destroy the strat!! Destroy the strat!! BUT LEAVE THE PRS ALONE!!!

[LegendaryTones]

If it makes you feel better, it is a FAKE PRS. Some people don't get the humor (and the video is to encourage people to visit and read the article on counterfeits at my site), but I get dinged a lot on the ratings here because people think it's a real expensive guitar, not a $100 fake!

Best,

David

[samgar2]

But there's children on Youtube, it's NOT PROPER. Destroying strats is ok, but never a prs, gibson or mosrite or so.

[LegendaryTones]

LOL. Maybe I should do a followup video showing that the guitar was reassembled and glued back together and now still functions - fire/melting damage and all. Mark the guitar's triumphant return! Actually, I suspect, but have not confirmed, that the guitar is a Dillion PRS copy out of Korea with PRS labeled headstock.

[narfboy93]

only a 100 for a fake one? did it sound good?

[solerso68]

KILL that fucking chink fake

[progbean]

i dont get why you didnt show how to spot a fake PRS, there does seem to be a few more on the used market these days.

[LegendaryTones]

An article on that subject is coming. The KEY is that there are various counterfeits and they can change at any time. So there really isn't any set 'rule' to this unfortunately. It's a continuous cat and mouse game I'm afraid.

[progbean]

cool thanks for the reply, i know where your comming from now. cheers!!

[CDWahh]

Rock on David !! Who rode the bike ???

U keep impressing me dude !!!

[LegendaryTones]

Thanks Chris! That was Mr. Jeremy Myers doing the donuts.

David

[seancca]

too bad that is a horrible fake.

[LegendaryTones]

Actually, probably NOT too bad; good thing it is a fake! The point of the video is "shock with a purpose" and lead viewers to an article I wrote about counterfeit guitars which will be posted shortly at my site.
