@TheDarkElfValenDreth He has much more knowledge in this field than you, he can shred better than you. So i think that you sound sooo gay by saying this..
Any suggestions would help im retiring my original 1993 Fender Jag Stang and im looking at either a Fender Strat HSS American made standard or a PRS Paul Allender. I want a guitar that is versatile and can handle from hard rock/metal to blues. Any suggestions would help. Both guitars sound great but iv had next to no time on either and i need to order one next week.
@cmentalppl The Prs Paul Allender covers way more ranges, especially this model which doesnt have those emgs but I have a Fender American strat s/s/s and i would never trade it for anything else, it has so much soul and the cleans on it are outstanding, mid gain on the strat is amazing on lead on my marshall jcm900. The PRS guitars sound lovely and are great, i just have a feeling that they are better but lack soul, they sound too nice. I'd go for the strat :)
If mine would have sounded like that, I wouldn't have bought it! He did not do the cleans any! justice! It sounds great clean as well. My favorite of the few I own. Especially for the price!
One of my bands guitarists has this guitar. Its a GREAT sounding instrument, looks cool, and has the thinnest neck I've EVER played...but seriously, I wouldn't buy it. Its too easy to play...there's no resistance on anything. Its very hard to get used to.
@LilReaper608 I'd get a locking nut or tuners as Paul suggested, if you like to use the tremolo. And ESP's are terrific...I'd like to get myself a custom made F style some day.
@GianismXYZ honestly the neck is fucking perfect, i've only found two necks better for me, and that was on a £2000 washburn stealth and a £1500 jackson kelly, this thing is only £499 :p
and the body fits your body perfectly, it's one of the most comfortable guitars EVER imho
@jackyDoofer If compared to Gibson Flying V neck, what are the differences? I'm asking cuz I think Ill buy this guitar but i don't like too wide necks. Flying V neck was ok for me though.
@GianismXYZ not too sure, haven't played a flying v in a lONG time. seriously dude, the best thing to do is find a shop near you that's got it, and go play it for yourself :) it's a wide thin neck i think, but despite the name, it's really not that wide, but like i say, jsut go play it for yourself and make your own decision, i can tell you the spec and brag about how much i love mine all day to you, but if you don't like it, you don't like it, don't trust my opinion, everyone's different ;)
1st.. You say its affordable but you didnt even say the price..
2nd.. Does this guitar also come w/o the tremolo cuz to be hones i think its a waste of time and space, really why cant we just take the sustain pedals instead like the crybaby...
i tried gibson les paul ,flying v,all kind of fender,all kind of epiphone signature,and ibanez paul gilbert signature....but nothing can compare prs clean sound to other "clean" sound,i tried santana PRS signature double inputs 1 for electric guitar and 1 for accoustic guitar,when i play it i feel like getting a blowjob from japanese hooker
I bought this guitar and it has an amazing clean sound. With my amp set clean and a flat E.Q. I get a great rock n roll sound. I'm thinking of getting the Mike Akerfeldt PRS to compliment this guitar on gigs.
OMG!! I met Paul Allender after show in Houston, Tx he is such very nice and decent guy!! I even post a pic with him :),, paul U ROCKS!! I also met James and Dani :D!!!
On the medium-gain setting, I could hear some very Strat-like tones. Kind of unusual for humbucking pickups, but when you crank it up to a high-gain setting, the sound really fills out nice and thick.
I too ows one of these guitars... Am I the only one having problems with the guitar staying in tune? (i have locked the whammy/(wammy?) cuz im not using it.
@RobinIvarsson you could try that dude, im just gonna throw another pair of strings on it, and see what happens, oh and btw i just got a peavy valveking halfstack today, ITS SICK!
im pretty pissed he released a signature as paul allender had one of the most original PRS guitars, so much so that i paid a lot of cash to get my own replica hand built by shamray over 5 years ago.
I've played this guitar. Even though PRS usually makes outstanding instruments, I was not impressed with the workmanship or the sound. They really let this one slip through the holes.
I'm a firm believer that the person who buys any signature series guitar is buying it to play music similar to that artist, so why not play music similar to Paul Allender's and not try to be a guitar hero.
@shockwavecrisis I got one a while back. It doesnt need new pickups at all lol. (I mean yeah, you CAN replace them, but they sound great with the stock pickups). The "metal" distortion this guy is using is crap. It sounds too fuzzy. You put the right distortion on this thing, and it screams
i just bought this guitar and i love it i admit i have to use the split coil knob for the clean channel for this guitar but in the end really good guitar. sounds way better than this guys version i got the one with emg pickups with thedark green color 24 frets sick guitar.
@butterknucklez well it depends on the kind of music you play i play all types and the coil tap pickups are a really big help. i would pick the PRS. this video doesnt do this guitar justice at all.
Everyone´s complaining about the clean tones of that axe , i think they have a little more gain than he usual ´cause it´s a Metal Guitar, in fact, it was designed by a Black Metal guitarist.
Thinking of buying one. They look and sound amazing. But I may be a bit old for Batwing frets, and might feel a bit more comfortable with traditional dots. Can anybody please tell me if they're available in my prefered style?
anybody who complains about the clean on this is retarded it made for metal you idiots! listen to cradle of filth and you'll see why it doesnt play clean well
What is the deal on cool sound and difficult, real alternative is Pearl Jam, Soundgarden. They are not difficult but they have real cool sound. And alternative, metal, punk, grunge they are all part of hard rock music. They PRS are cool not because they sound like LP or like a Strat, they are cool because they are guitar with a new range of sound closer to does two and more in between. With the rigth amp for what you like to play i'm pretty shure you will get the sound you like.
opeth, breaking benjamin, seether, 3 doors down, creed, shinedown all use prs guitars.....if im not mistaken those are all hard rock bands that use high gain distortions
@Ralenissocold omg singles? ALL of their songs are alternative, dude
I can tell you one thing: cool sound could be only in jazz blues and metal. But absolutely not all of metal bands have cool sound(ing) guitars. Mastodon, Death, Dream Theater, Annihilator - for example, they have really cool guitars
Really I can't show "cool sound" to guy who listens to alternative
@Sortsylic so only fast metal music has a cool sound?? and btw all those bands are post grunge not alternative....alternative is like fall out boy, incubus, linkin park, and all that shit......and can i ask if you think tool has a cool sound (btw they're like alternative metal)....honestly if you say they dont then please become more broad minded
@Sortsylic so more difficult always means cooler??? i get where ur argument is coming from but seriously being subjective and using that as proof that other music isnt interesting is just being ignorant.
More difficult means it is MORE DIFFICULT, you can taste the sound only in technical things, if you'll play power chords like it is in MOST alternative you won't be able to check out the REAL guitar sound.
I was listening to alternative in my past, I am listening today to another primitive bands like Bohren or Callisto but their playing isn't a nice example for guitars that they're playing!
alos que odian las pastillas EMG, ami me gustan, el sonido es algo muy personal, igual que odio los amplis Marshall, son chillones, ami esta guitarra me gusta mucho, ademas la probe y me encanto, por cierto alguien decia que en limpio suena sucia, si el ampli no le quitas toda la ganancia puede pasar que en limpio no termine de sonar limpia, pero es por eso....... un saludo a todos...
This guitar's sweet. I tried it out in a store, and I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a guitar. I also like Paul (the reviewer, not Allender) and his bluesy rock licks, but I wish he'd tell us what amp he's plugged into whenever he's reviewing guitars.
@kierandoyle1992 Yes you're right but I played that guitar in the store and it sounded great clean so I don't know, maybe his amp is strange or the record sucks^^
@kierandoyle1992 i dunno what were the settings on the reviewer's amplifier, but i have this guitar and the clean sound is really 'clean' and does not distort like in the review. its very warm
@wowspare WARM?!? LAFF. OUT. LOUD. I don't think Allender has ever sounded "warm" for Christs sake. This piece of shit guitar is made to cut through a compressed, super distorted metal mix - just like your average Sears guitar.
Kids, try the other SE models if you want a balanced, nicer PRS character in your sound. These signature models are usually one-trick-ponies.
@wowspare Cool! Then why don't you go right ahead and put up a nice demo for us? I just watched the PRS Company demo - and I just wasn't hearing "jazzy" or "bluesy" tones out of it. I don't know why you would - does Allender play jazzy, or bluesy parts? I can't really imagine why he would have pickups custom wound for bluesy, jazzy tones when he plays extreme metal.
So enlighten everyone with a nice demo. I'm dying to hear it - anyone else?
@0AllForNaught0 just because this demo doesn't show the guitar's capabilities doesn't mean that the guitar doesn't have those capabilites.
yeah, allender doesn't play those kind of music but i'm just saying that this guitar CAN handle other kinds of music besides metal.
and also, i don't wanna make that demo for ya. even if i had a camcorder, i wouldn't waste my precious time trying to satisfy some dickhead's cravings.
you've already made yourself look like a real idiot; don't bother rplying
@wowspare Yeah, because EVERY guitar can do those things, right? That's why all the Jazz players are flocking to the Allender model. I'll bet Al Dimeola has one of these stashed somewhere...
Listen, kid: every guitar does something different - that's the whole point. There is no "one size fits all" guitar. They're all voiced differently. But I'll bet you're one of those chodes that doesn't know how to match an EQ to a guitars voicing, which makes them sound like poop.
@0AllForNaught0 "Yeah, because EVERY guitar can do those things, right? That's why all the Jazz players are flocking to the Allender model."
i'm not saying this allender model is the BEST guitar for playing jazz, what i was trying to say was that it plays jazz decently (i emphasize 'decently')
@kierandoyle1992 If I'm honest, I agree completely. Sounds like way too much bite for a good clean sound. But then, the douche'bag that designed it (Allender) is a pussy "extreme metal" player. They really don't know much about good tone - just crank up your distortion pedal and let the diarrhea flow.
I checked this vid out 'cuz I'm a PRS Owner myself - and the Mira makes this guitar sound like flushed turd.
@LilReaper608 well that depends on how you setup the bridge. if you set it up to suit your style, you can divebomd with it but it goes out of tune unless you change tuners
@wowspare im thinking on getting the green version of this guitar its the same just differnet color would you recommend it for well basically more of a tremonti type sound i know cradle of filth but id thought id ask
@FebruaryDarkness1 the paul allender model that they sell now come with active EMG pickups, only the older ones come with passives. if you want a tremonti type sound i recommend you swap out the pickups. a set of seymour duncans would be good
@wowspare how would you rate it in terma of blues guitar solos and just that bluesy sound. I know this fiddle has got the heavy, but I wanna know if the tremolo bar wont knock it out of tune hella fast and if it stay in tune well if you use a lot of bends--like I do

More difficult means it is MORE DIFFICULT, you can taste the sound only in technical things, if you'll play power chords like it is in MOST alternative you won't be able to check out the REAL guitar sound.
I was listening to alternative in my past, I am listening today to another primitive bands like Bohren or Callisto but their playing isn't a nice example for guitars that they're playing!

alos que odian las pastillas EMG, ami me gustan, el sonido es algo muy personal, igual que odio los amplis Marshall, son chillones, ami esta guitarra me gusta mucho, ademas la probe y me encanto, por cierto alguien decia que en limpio suena sucia, si el ampli no le quitas toda la ganancia puede pasar que en limpio no termine de sonar limpia, pero es por eso....... un saludo a todos...

This guitar's sweet. I tried it out in a store, and I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with a guitar. I also like Paul (the reviewer, not Allender) and his bluesy rock licks, but I wish he'd tell us what amp he's plugged into whenever he's reviewing guitars.

my rhytum guitarist has it. but he also has a sweet peavy 5605 head and a marshall (hes gunna trade for a Boogie) cab.

@kierandoyle1992 Yes you're right but I played that guitar in the store and it sounded great clean so I don't know, maybe his amp is strange or the record sucks^^

@kierandoyle1992 have you ever listened to cradle of filth? this guitar isnt meant for clean
dbsk8r92 1 year ago
@dbsk8r92 all guitars should be able to handle clean tone. well placed clean sections in metal work well.
also there's plenty of other guitar made for metal with a good clean sound, even dean razorbacks sound pretty good without any gain
kierandoyle1992 1 year ago
@kierandoyle1992 i dunno what were the settings on the reviewer's amplifier, but i have this guitar and the clean sound is really 'clean' and does not distort like in the review. its very warm
wowspare 1 year ago
@wowspare WARM?!? LAFF. OUT. LOUD. I don't think Allender has ever sounded "warm" for Christs sake. This piece of shit guitar is made to cut through a compressed, super distorted metal mix - just like your average Sears guitar.
Kids, try the other SE models if you want a balanced, nicer PRS character in your sound. These signature models are usually one-trick-ponies.
0AllForNaught0 1 year ago
@0AllForNaught0 .... like i said, the reviewer's amp had shitty settings.
yes, the clean sound is warm. have you even tried this guitar dumbass?
the distortion isn't harsh sounding at all i can play jazz and blues easily with it
wowspare 1 year ago
@wowspare Cool! Then why don't you go right ahead and put up a nice demo for us? I just watched the PRS Company demo - and I just wasn't hearing "jazzy" or "bluesy" tones out of it. I don't know why you would - does Allender play jazzy, or bluesy parts? I can't really imagine why he would have pickups custom wound for bluesy, jazzy tones when he plays extreme metal.
So enlighten everyone with a nice demo. I'm dying to hear it - anyone else?
0AllForNaught0 1 year ago
@0AllForNaught0 just because this demo doesn't show the guitar's capabilities doesn't mean that the guitar doesn't have those capabilites.
yeah, allender doesn't play those kind of music but i'm just saying that this guitar CAN handle other kinds of music besides metal.
and also, i don't wanna make that demo for ya. even if i had a camcorder, i wouldn't waste my precious time trying to satisfy some dickhead's cravings.
you've already made yourself look like a real idiot; don't bother rplying
wowspare 1 year ago
@wowspare Yeah, because EVERY guitar can do those things, right? That's why all the Jazz players are flocking to the Allender model. I'll bet Al Dimeola has one of these stashed somewhere...
Listen, kid: every guitar does something different - that's the whole point. There is no "one size fits all" guitar. They're all voiced differently. But I'll bet you're one of those chodes that doesn't know how to match an EQ to a guitars voicing, which makes them sound like poop.

@0AllForNaught0 "Yeah, because EVERY guitar can do those things, right? That's why all the Jazz players are flocking to the Allender model."
i'm not saying this allender model is the BEST guitar for playing jazz, what i was trying to say was that it plays jazz decently (i emphasize 'decently')
wowspare 1 year ago
@kierandoyle1992 If I'm honest, I agree completely. Sounds like way too much bite for a good clean sound. But then, the douche'bag that designed it (Allender) is a pussy "extreme metal" player. They really don't know much about good tone - just crank up your distortion pedal and let the diarrhea flow.
I checked this vid out 'cuz I'm a PRS Owner myself - and the Mira makes this guitar sound like flushed turd.

@kierandoyle1992 an easy way to get better cleans with really hot pickups is to roll off the volume pot.

LilReaper608 11 months ago
@LilReaper608 if you use the whammy bar often, it will. but i changed the tuners to locking tuners, so they don't go out of tune now

@wowspare Man thats gay it says on the muscians freind thing for this that you can dive bomb like a beast on this thing
LilReaper608 11 months ago
@LilReaper608 well that depends on how you setup the bridge. if you set it up to suit your style, you can divebomd with it but it goes out of tune unless you change tuners

@wowspare im thinking on getting the green version of this guitar its the same just differnet color would you recommend it for well basically more of a tremonti type sound i know cradle of filth but id thought id ask
FebruaryDarkness1 9 months ago
@FebruaryDarkness1 the paul allender model that they sell now come with active EMG pickups, only the older ones come with passives. if you want a tremonti type sound i recommend you swap out the pickups. a set of seymour duncans would be good
wowspare 9 months ago
@wowspare thanks man just trying to decide what kinda guitar i should get next
FebruaryDarkness1 9 months ago
@wowspare how would you rate it in terma of blues guitar solos and just that bluesy sound. I know this fiddle has got the heavy, but I wanna know if the tremolo bar wont knock it out of tune hella fast and if it stay in tune well if you use a lot of bends--like I do
Darkit2099 5 months ago
@Darkit2099 bends don't really cause it to go out of tune that much. but its the tremolo use that knocks it off tune more.
