PRS Swamp Ash Special Narrowfield Guitar Demo / Review With Tom Quayle iGuitar Mag

[PragueFanity]

Nicely done Tom. Nicely done PRS!

[skeletalwreck]

Great review. Just one thing - when I am listening to reviews of guitars I am considering purchasing, I also really like to know what amp and signal chain is in use. It just helps give a better idea of what kind of tone the guitar actually has.

[DarkKnight896]

Damn that is a nice looking guitar

[MrMagnificents]

That is one of the prettiest guitars I have seen.Almost too pretty.Afraid I would ding it or scratch it.

[TheGlobuleReturns]

JEEEEHOSAPHAT HOW MUCHHH!?!?! I WANT IT!

[777RAD777]

im really not much of a blues, funk or country guy, but i really enjoy this guy's playing! lots of respect:)

[hamishbendir]

Thorough is what comes to mind when I saw this. I think a lot of people start playing electric guitar without really understanding what different pick ups can do. This, as well as being a review of a gorgeous guitar, hints to a lesson that shows what each (combination) pick up can do. Thank you

[rockyinahard2]

would you recommend this or a custom 24?

[royalknight2]

@rockyinahard2

Depends on what tone you want. A PRS Custom leans more towards the heavy spectrum of music, but still being able to handle all styles perfectly. This guitar can handle all styles as well but it would be more suited for blues, jazz and soft rock.

humbuka

[251dog]

Ive just bought one.second hand.. WOW has to be one of the best PRS guitars ive owned.the neck is ammaazzzing. my advise is find one and buy it.NOW.

[DiegoVT91]

This guy is a hell of a guitar player!

[pepachet]

4:57 'finally we'll finish with the neck pickup!' You meant bridge pickup huh? You best send me that guitar its obviously driving you bonkers Tom! haha

[1prsman]

I'm thinking of ordering one and wanted to know what color finish is on this one. I have played the narrowfield pickups and they are punchy great sound.

[malgrava]

Who needs porn anymore!

[realbluemeanie]

What a beautiful guitar.

[brutishector]

I think you said neck when you ment bridge a couple of times. ............never the less, excellent demo....Thanks Tom. This guitar sounds great in your hands, have you had the chance to try out the 513 and if so what is you opinion. I've listened to both guitars on utube and to my ears I prefer the sounds of this one though the 513 has more versitility with the pickup choices.

[bytedildo]

I liek the sound of G&L s 500 more! This one is to squeky :P

[MrDrewseph]

This guy is criminally good

[bruceboome]

It sounds like there is a compressor on it. If there is, I'd have preffered to hear it without. 

[guitaroon]

isn't this from licklibrary?

[iguitarmag]

@guitaroon Hi guitaroon, iGuitar magazine is powered and brought to you by Licklibrary.

[misterelryano]

The only thing keeping me from this guitar is the price tag. Over $2300.

[philjit1]

fine playin my man...

[SimonBenefer]

Great demo of a brilliant guitar. I bought one last year and would recommend it to anyone, it can cope with pretty much any style of music.

[KlaskeyProductions]

@ 2:58 -- that's what she said

[DrumGuitarist1379]

I NEED to learn that lick he plays at 7:43

[MrOrdinaryAndy]

hey man, what mode/scale you playing around on there at the beginning?

[misterelryano]

WOW

[SoundToEars]

"Very nice indeed"

[ImaDjentleman]

at first i was like wow tasty playin then tom quayle appeared on my computer screen and i was like -_-

[mr123juddTHEman]

Hello Tom,nice jazz rock ;-).I notice,you keep saying,the neck pickup,when on the bridge pickup,in your video's lol.



[MrManson94]

would like a pickguard on that

[Situious]

Does anyone know what that backing track is in the beginning of this video? I've heard him do it in the intro of a few other demo videos as well

[elblopex]

really beautiful fretboard

[elblopex]

so those pikups sound like a strat, but also they cancell the hum, im i right?

[royalknight2]

@elblopex

They're more similar in tone to mini-humbuckers than single coils. In the end, they are just humbuckers. If you want a tone that is similar to a strat and cancels hum, a stacked humbucker pickup would be the best choice

[ahpollyolly]

You are a bad man Tom.... I had the old twin bucker / single SD model SAS - and sold it to get a Strat 56' Re-issue (which is a fine guitar...) BUT... How I hanker for one of these NF models after hearing your exquisite demo. Gonna get some serious G.A.S. pains over the coming weeks.... You and that nice Mr Reed Smith have a lot to answer for...!!!

[zbarneyz]

Hombokka! Damn those Hombokkers are nice. A bit to trebly for my taste but it could be the amp. Great Hombokkers anyway!

[aikeeramz]

I love how he says humbucker.

[DontRespondImStupid]

kirk hammett is a better jazz player.

[MykelGianan]

@DontRespondImStupid BULLSHIT, he's got nothing on Tom Quayle.



[DontRespondImStupid]

@MykelGianan

quayle sounds like seafood.

[Fluffypopcicle]

@MykelGianan

You aren't supposed to respond, he is stupid. Quayle does sound like seafood though. Sounds like some sort of fish lol.

[doubleuarex]

very nice indeed!

[Harrysound]

The neck is so nice!

[christrealized]

He keeps on on calling the bridge pickup the neck position.. too funny

otherwise great demo.. great guitar!

[Ioanetheripper]

how much are one of these!!! i NEED to get one. Great demo dude, you can really play and know what your talking about. now where can i get one of these!!!!

[anyday82]

very professional playing and demo'ing. kudos

[gdosic]

excellent playing mate..I see, you are a real professional

[darkewind56]

Got one this past Christmas. Incredible tones and very versatile. I play it almost exclusively now. Your playing is so fluid. Awesome. How about showing everyone that lick at end!

[musichap]

Great review! I actually have one put on hold for me at a local guitar shop here in Toronto. It's the NF3 model which is pretty much the same as this one.

[yamahapac604w]

我去....tom不是Suhr的人吗，怎么来demo prs了

[mojoefly]

tom is such an excellent choice iguitarmag. He's educated and can really play the instrument

[rand98]

Absolutely agree with the comment above -- outstanding playing, very thorough demo with good quality sound. Very, very few and far between on this thing. Please keep up the good work!

[rmoraespinto]

This is simply the most thorough review I have watched on youtube. And great playing. Just exemplary. Congrats!

[iguitarmag]

@rmoraespinto Hi there - thanks for the comment - we hope you found it useful, have you checked out the issue 1 of the iguitar magazine that the video is from? Theres alot more reviews in there which you may also find useful.

[michaelbron]

@iguitarmag you're sick on guitar.

[JockBoyGrant]

the very last demo of the bridge pickup with more distortion reminds me of steve vai

[shredgd5]

Great playing! Although you can hear the acoustic sound of the guitar too much in this video.. I think using a close miking (or muting the voice mic while playing) would help to show the real sound of the guitar through the amp!

[pablo910812]

what tipe of music is that?.. plz somebody help me jeje 

[chrisbarnes22]

@pablo910812 Sounds jazz to me.

[pablo910812]

@chrisbarnes22  mmm noo.. i think is sounds blues.. but im not sure

[guitarczar15]

i love watching this guy play, so fluid....

[m1234n1234]

the distortion playing wasn't that nice, maybe needed more volume....but the cleans really impressed

[m1234n1234]

omg i have a new crave!!:O

[poirepoire22]

8:12 i'd rather say "brilliant guitarist" instead of" brilliant guitar"...any pro guitarist can make the shittiest guitar sounds awesome...

[Chisuz]

WHICH AMP????

[Chisuz]

how much MONEY?!?!?

[keithC91]

anyone notice the middle pickup sounding the best?

[einavi279]

OMG ! that jazz playing in the start is amazing !

play more jazz !! :)

[Rg1527]

Tone sounds really thin and ear piercing :|

Not trying to troll, just wondering if its the guitar or the amp?

[AyanRafique]

@Rg1527 That tone is intentional. You might not like it, its just a matter of taste I guess : )

[Rg1527]

@AyanRafique Yeah im totally not trying to rag on this guy for liking a certain tone, was just wondering.

Awesome shawn lane cover btw man

[AyanRafique]

@Rg1527 Lol thanks : )

[AyanRafique]

@Rg1527 Lol thanks : )

[AyanRafique]

@Rg1527 And btw intentional means its the amp : )

[Rg1527]

@AyanRafique Hey man,

Tbh i doublt its the amp, I looked up Tom's channel and all his videos use that really thin twangy tone, it just seems to be his preference, which is fine for him, but in my opinion its way way way too shrill. In any context i dont really even think it works in the fusion thing hes going for. Just cant understand his ear.

[AyanRafique]

@Rg1527 Well, it can't be the guitar can it? Because Tom has used many many guitars before, and his tone is always pretty much the same. So its the amp. Yah, It may sound shrill, but to each his own :)

[SkinnerSG]

@Rg1527 Totally agree. Its dreadful.

[bytedildo]

@Rg1527 prolly the pickups..narrow pickups , narrow sound :)
