@The0ManJam Almost all of their guitars are wonderful. It's the kind of thing you have to play to appreciate, someone else's amp with someone else's settings and someone else playing does not even come close to playing it yourself, with your amp and your settings.
That aside, why would you be buying a guitar without playing one to start with? Sounds pretty stupid to me.
@Cyberbob182 Yes, but you would have to re-set the locking trem system to be parallel to the body after as the string tension would be different. Also worth going up a few gauges of string when de-tuning.
Had mine for over a month now - just go and buy it. If rock is your thing this is all there is! Awesome - seriously considering selling my Les Paul to invest further in the PRS range!
@A7Xile Its just the video...I've tried one out at a guitar store before, and the distortion sounds FANTASTIC. I'd buy it now if I had the money... :(
@BenCornerGuitar Could not agree more. I played this guitar, it's actually a pretty sweet axe. It's a shame to see it defiled like that by such a sloppy player, with an awful distorted tone to boot.
Am I the only one who think that, for a guitar with EMGs, the distortion sucks on this guitar. I don't know if it's just the video or the guy playing but the only thing that sounded good was the clean settings.
@A7Xile I think they're using a Boss GT 10 or something, and the settings are awfull. I bought the 25th anniversary and the demo they did for that guitar is ugly, that guitar sounds way better with good settings
@A7Xile nah, its because this guy has the wah pedal heel down. Im sure if he could take the wah off for a SECOND you could hear just how amazing this guitar sounds with distortion. I just played one today through a cube amp and i must say it made the Cube amps distortion sound GODLY.
@A7Xile i guess it's just their hands coming straight out of asses that they didn't get round to tune amp sound well enough to review such a great axe
@Agunforxmas calm yourself. Distortion. and overdrive are affected by not only the amp and it's circuitry and whether or not tube or solid state and it's preamp, but also by how hot the pickups are, the type of wood the guitar is made of, hollow or solidbody and several other physical properties.... I tried one these guitars and it played every bit as well and sounded just as good as my Jackson SL-2 that cost 2x the price. Even without the inlays it was easy to find my way on the neck.
it's the guitar, the distortion blows. the guitar needs better pickups, ones that will let the choice of woods shine, not active pickups where the only things affecting the tone besides the pickup are the bridge, action, strings, and fingerboard.
@A7Xile On the video it doesn't sound too good but if you play it through a decent amp and you can turn the highs does it sounds like a beast when its on distortion
@A7Xile I played one of these (in Blue) at my local guitar store, and it sounded great with both a Line 6 and a Fender. It's just this guy/ the video.
@guitarlord247 Sorry matey but you do need batteries to power Emg's they run off a 9volt but you can mod them to run at 18 and you get MORE POWER!!!!! Raaaaa!!
@joeldification a PRS Torero is way (and I really mean it) better than that Jackson. It would be comparable to a Jackson DK1, but I still would buy this one. It really rocks... Cheers, man
@jasonism123 looks like the 1000 is an ofr made in china. not licensed, same parts as german floyds, just made with chinese labor. i know, floyd rose made things a little more confusing with the whole original floyd being made in 3 different places and not being licensed crap. i played this guitar today good neck carve.
damn i was really starting to get juiced for this guitar too! until i saw the floyd rose bridge :( i had a floyd rose guitar for a while but i changed my tuning setup too much, ra know drop D half step down etc and it was just a pain to fuck with the tning EVERY TIME ugh whatever, the search continues
@kurtcbain95 u know you can just have the bridge locked so that it doesnt function like a tremolo anymore. means you can tune the guitar as and when you want to. get this guitar and do that i reckon
@kurtcbain95 or you could get a morpheus drop tune and not have to worry about it. then you can do drop b with normal string tension. check it out those pedals are badass
@kurtcbain95 the one thing ive read that can be an issue, especially when you arent playing with a LOUD rig is this. if its lets say in your house, and you can still hear the sound of your actual guitar (the unplugged sound) while you are playing. it might throw you off because youll hear that in standard tuning while the drop tuned sound is coming out of your speakers. just something to think about.
How in the world does a guitar with EMG's pull off those cleans??? Im buying this awsome guitar in a few weeks the wait is killing me lol. And good video but the Van Halen part was a little sloppy =/.
@NO11YOU The EMG's have3 never been bad for clean tones, people just want you to think that. I've owned my share of guitars, i currently play an EMG equipped guitar, and it pulls of the most beautiful cleans you can possibly imagine.
I'm not realy much of a Floyd Rose kinda guy, but i've played this guitar and i gotta say if i owned this guitar, i'd deal with the Floyd, all in all this is an amazing guitar, i shall soon get it in the future =D

@tpl2000 let me teach you a lesson for the next time.
Basic troll judging system:
for example we take The0ManJam :
1- he says I nearly bought a prs this evening, let me ask you have you ever bought a guitar in the evening?
2- he says he's not impressed, witch is very hard to believe if you've heard prs.
3- he says saved me some money, prs guitars don 't go for some money, they go for 2 to 3k 's
4- its the only bad message about the guitar.
so what do we know now? he's a troll
