PRS Al Di Meola Prism signature guitar demo - World Guitars

[Berlingodoener]

3:57... Vibrato of Captain Lee

[ANDYB1478]

That's got to be one of the most beautiful guitars ever made.

[Hotdog40404040404]

I think you guys just earned a new customer.

[Hotdog40404040404]

@Hotdog40404040404 do you guys ship to the us?

[Edders666]

@Hotdog40404040404 they ship worldwide

[psyoptica]

Anyone read that Maddox article, "Proof That Wealth Can't Buy Class:

The Top Four Ugliest Cars On The Road"? I guess it applies to guitars too.

[pabdiary]

I've been playing guitar for 18 years and never had any interest in PRS. After seeing this bloke play, I'm 2 months way from owning my own Al Di Meola. Excellent playing, the amp isn't so bad either..hahaha

[daimonianyt]

love the guitar sound at 2:55. 

[Jiwpgakis]

I don't get it, why replicate those damn old humbuckers.....we have 2011 , we can do something new.

[acdcyoyoer]

@Jiwpgakis hmm ive had an idea of a humbucker that not only goes split but it can go between passive and active. AND has a bult in sustainer lol

[AaronBellDeo]

@acdcyoyoer You cant have active and passive in the same humbucker. Sustainers are always active.

[acdcyoyoer]

@AaronBellDeo no theres this this switch that i remember one company used to make ther pickup go from active to passive pickup and then id somehow get a sustainer pickup thatwould work with the switch and just make it a 3 way toggle

[tingly7654321]

the blonde guy plays well for a guy with down syndrome

[HornSpeakersRGarbage]

The "I am gay" guitar =))

[RockGuitarDave]

it realy annoys me when you keep saying that this guitar has a coil tap, this guitar does not have a coil tap it has a coil split they are 2 completely differnt things

[robibm2003]

Love Al DiMeola, but this guitar looks like shit and I wasn't particularly impressed by the sounds that came out of it here. Not really a fan of Matchless. Think they're kind of overhyped.

[EpiclyConnor]

I'm guessing an SE version of this is just a pipe dream. I'll shut up now and sit back here with my cheap strat. Seriously. An SE of this would sell like mad.

[CrimsonCru]

why arent there any music stores like that in thailand, and do u hav a website?

[megamicron]

Kiss My Axe

[anyday82]

the prism is for some ppl, it's just not for me no matter how hard i try to like it

[turockandar]

Hello Rob...may I enquire where you shop is exactly and what the closest airport connection is as I am interested in coming and checking out your great sho.

I am a guitar collectionner from Switzerland. Have you ever had any Nik Huber instruments and if so what is your take on them? Thanks and look forwards to meeting you soon. You had a turquoise blue PRS in stock that I would be very interested to buy!!!

[RobChappers]

@turockandar Hi mate, the store is based in Stonehouse, Gloucester - not sure where the nearest airport is, fly in to London and make a weekend of it ;-)

[turockandar]

@RobChappers thanks:) Are you THE guy who does the fantastic PRS demos? It always make me smile when the shop owner finishes the intro and passes it over to you. the intergalactic supra orbital master of legato blaster:) I have a Strat relic 65,Les Paul VOS, SMY2 Steve Morse, a 22 custom PRS ten top and Nik Huber Orca I am looking for a second PRS. Which model would you recommend? (something really special) What do yo think of Nik huber (I changed and put Pearly Gates and Seth lover) cheers!

[simeoneous]

@RobChappers

Didn't realise you guys were so close, Stroud's my home town, living in Chelts currently. I'll be popping in very soon I think.

[jonnyhturbo]

Has anyone else noticed that PRS employees always look scared shytless in these vids? wonder why.

[Riotstarter100]

@jonnyhturbo

there are no prs employees in this video....

[Jesuselpacifo]

Wow, that music shop looks like a wet dream...

[Harrysound]

Alter Bridge -Open Your eyes :)

[pmanderson]

As a metal guitarist, I'm not really a fan of PRS myself. But my gosh, that is one beautiful guitar.

[WoWintosh]

@pmanderson

Emil Werstler or whatever ( the guy from Daath) uses PRS guitars. I think it's a Hollowbody II

[777RAD777]

@pmanderson im in a metal band mate and all i play is prs;)

[hobosunited247]

@pmanderson prs is for EVERYTHING

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

@pmanderson the only guitars i play metal on are PRS

[fasteddie925]

actually its a bad version the purple is far too thin and the colors should be equal...prince would NEVER buy that one

[TheSchmittable]

2:10 - 2:25

was that a smooth version of Alter Bridge's "Open your eyes"? :)

[eightequalsequalsdee]

@TheSchmittable

Definitely

[megamicron]

I love it, makes me sad to love this way

[TheRealHamjam]

Eargasm at 5:05 to 5:20

[SaintsCheat]

At least we know this guitar stays in tune as evident at 3:30....

[Metalhead12828]

hell yeah! gotta play tremontis stuff in a prs demo. i own a prs tremonti signature sc in black

[yobhsiFehT]

2:53 - jaw drop moment

... tone :|

3:41 - my thought: "It's a good thing Eric Clapton didn't have one of these in the 60s, or no one would buy anything else!"

4:51 - If nothing else, I want that volume pot! :D

Great vid:)

[ravenshield56]

haha I remember going there on my annual gloucester fishing trip, we went to get some maggots and got side tracked :P I didnt know who you were then, so I might have met you xD

[DiminishedTB]

PRS

[unaibeasko]

0:07 does anyone knows what guitar was that?

[RandyFoxKiller]

@unaibeasko Al De Meola's custom "Prism" guitar made by PRS

[chode2b]

Alter bridge!!

[FingerLickinGoood]

@chode2b Yeaaa i heard it too ;D

[oweeno123]

for the 4 people that disliked this video, im gonna find then, and shove their fucking Yamaha guitars right up their ass

[fend14]

I'd buy this left handed, is that available rob ?

[themetalgod21]

who would want 50 year pickup wire??????? it's lost it's magnetism.

[Kaospojke]

Does anyone know if World Guitars have any Archtops that they haven't listed in their webbsite?

[ovoono]

Can someone tell me please which band plays in this intro from 0:00 to 0:20?

[Conorhstone]

@ovoono It's Rob Chapman's band, Monkey Lord and the song is called "Bleed the Light".

[ead1234567890]

k im pretty sure he played the begining to open your eyes by alter bridge

[demmylowther]

The finish looks like your representing FAG pride ! What,is Al DiMeola a butt slammer.Damn,I certainly hope not.The finish is called prism but it looks like the rainbow for Gay pride.I'm pretty sure Al D is not a homo.And yes,it does mean something to me.I can't stand bloody queers,they me sick to my stomache.No nasty replies please,I don't read them anyways.

[dTbFan72]

@demmylowther your the fag for even bringing that up, anyways say Al D was a homo it doesnt really matter, hes amazing at guitar so thats all that matters

[SRcRasher]

2:10 - 2:20 Open your eyes - Alter Bridge :D

[gavquinn]

@SRcRasher Every song I've heard Mark Tremonti play is D to B..

[danyjr]

That shizzle shouldn't be played on an Al di Meola guitar. Bring the real man on.

[jp6l6]

OK, the Guitar and the amp sound pretty good ! Absolutely !

Though, I doubt about the pickups are the perfect copies of '57 PAFs. Each prestigious brand of pickups says the same, even the best of the best and those never cost so much. I thik of Bare Knuckle, Gibson Bursbuckers #1 #2 #3, Fralin or Lollar... I use Burstbuckers #1 and #2. I swear those sound as good as all copies but who can say they sound as new PAFs in '57 or '59...

All my admiration for being in life after a brit education.

[deathblade7]

bonner.

[fippysteed]

Rob what where you playing at 2:12 it sounded realyrealy nice please answer back.

[SuperGuitarMark]

@fippysteed The song is called open your eyes by the best and most underrated band of all time......... ALTER BRIDGE!

[ead1234567890]

@fippysteed its open your eyes by alter bridge

[collin292]

I wet myself.

[firstgearlead]

did you just play some ALTER BRIDGE!!!!!!????? I couldn't love you any more than now, Rob Chappers..

[fendermaxime]

holy shit a plastic neck nut !!

[bjfx123]

i like how hes playin Mark Tremonti stuff on Al's guitar at 2:11

[RockerRocco1]

Can't wait for the PRS experience on friday!

[kdc300z]

beautiful tone, ugly stain. AL Di is a prick too.

[MoarOfTehRawkege]

@kdc300z What does that have to do with the fact that he's a better guitar player than you?

[MrDeebles]

sounds amazing

[carlos13190]

how many cost it?

i want it

thanks a lot

[65guitargirl]

[broknstrngz]

[martinisbutik]

[greekfreak1980]

That guitar looks amazing,not to mention the incredible tone,to bad I can afford only a SE model.By the way he' playing the riff from ''Open your Eyes'' by Alter Bridge how cool!

[PhilipPorter]

Technicolour yawn!

[fedew800]

[powsheep]

YES! you played ALTER BRIDGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i LOVE them! ALTER BRIDGE FTW! <3

[Azunaii]

Love the guitar, and you even played some Alter Bridge there if I'm not mistaken. Can't go wrong xD

[wisesatyr72]

how much is this guitar 8 grand??

[iwannacapo]

@wisesatyr72 he just said 3 1/2 thousand didnt he? O.o

[xXNeoShredderXx]

You're an amazing guitar player, Chappers. Some people are just born to play the guitar, and you're one of those people. I'll just humor myself a little bit with the damn thing, lol.

[hedefter]

Wer will schon ´ne billige Gitarre auf der "ALDI" steht? xD

[hedefter]

Wer will schon ´ne billige Gitarre auf der "ALDI" steht? xD

[neednewsneakers]

I believe the color is supposed to represent a sunset over the ocean

[bullpentherapy]

@neednewsneakers i thought the same thing as well, likw green is grass, the blue is ocean and then the skyline/sunset and then the sun also it would be so cool i would like to patent this idea as well, that thin about this, the inlays right, intead of dots u can have planets ther are 12 in our solar sytem and it would be cool the sun mer curyy venus and earth and mars etc. etc. etc and a black hole in the middle of he guitar! what do u thin of that?

[JustJamin247]

Was that a bit of Alter Bridge I heard? Beautiful guitar man.

[DMR90Guitar]

al di meola's actually looks better. the colors are a lot brighter and the paint job's way better then this one...and the lighting doesn't help

[flowerdrop1]

it is a nice guitar. comparable to a good les paul. but those colors ... eh, no thanks

[777RAD777]

@flowerdrop1 dont ever compare a prs to a shit les paul haha. prs just has so much better quality and tone.

[firubbi]

there is a noise is coming from amp!

great sounding guitar.

the color is suck. al had too much alcohol when selecting color :lol ....

prs should come up with version 2 color soon..

[helpyhandything]

Damn thats ugly.....

[ibanezman007]

I would kill for one of these.

[musicalmahem]

it's ugly but wow the tone of those pups is awesome! when i played one of these the neck carve was superb! but still it is quite ugly...

[MrTonemaster]

@musicalmahem

no denying the tone @ 2:55 but the rest? whatever..

[777RAD777]

@musicalmahem i think its beautiful!! everything prs makes is beautiful

[Tweekerhead]

Damn thats ugly....

[jaxeplayer]

[Rockerboy3872]

[PanterAmetal100]

This axe is SO beautiful! There`s no any gay bullshit! Al D-you`re the best!

[jamesteek03]

Apparently Chapper's stole Subway Bandit's face-mask.

[MICKEYISLOWD]

[RobChappers]

It's in Gloucester UK mate - best guitar store on earth ;-)

[SteveBrownOfficial]

I liked the Avalon 30 you played through there Rob.

[MrPocketGuitar]

@RobChappers Besides Andertons,l of course :)

[MrFreddiebrandt]

@RobChappers wow i live in herefordshire right next to glouster i can go there nether new it was that close

[pabdiary27]

one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard..

[tman916x]

Screw the cars, boats and private jets, if I was rich, that's what my house would look like 0:01 - 0:12

[HDWMusic]

hell yeah

[goodguitaristatmetal]

@tman916x What you'd buy jeff?

[tman916x]

@goodguitaristatmetal you mean jet? haha I'd never waste any form of currency on such an extravagance.

[goodguitaristatmetal]

@tman916x no jeff the owner :P

[dbsk8r92]

@tman916x you and all the rest of us guitarists lol

[MrGuitarrica]

@tman916x Dude me too amen brother

[PRSpl4yer]

Diggin the Alter Bridge in Chapper's into there lol.

[809Metallica]

LOVE THAT GUITAR!!! Is it Yours?

[sacredgeometry]

how do the thin wide 24s feel? thinking about a new guitar and cant decide between going j custom, prs custom 24 or les paul 59 reissue :( the les paul is just a personal love of mine and isnt really a concern unless i see a really lovely one in the shop when i go shopping :S

[smccontreras]

Just Remember...IT'S NOT THE ARROW IT'S THE INDIAN!...

CHEERS.

[sacredgeometry]

true but great archers benifit from great tools :P

[almostsk8er01]

oh fuck its my dream house!!!!!

[smittybang]

if i had the money id so get that its awesome!

[viewervideo011242234]

whats that intro song?

[BarnesandMullinsUK]

That is "Bleed the Light" by Rob Chapman from his EP "Red Dream" which is on iTunes ;-)

[texasranga]

that finish is plain stunning.

[MuffinWithAnAxe]

I always get annoyed when I cant get the perfect tone when I listen to stuff like this. But I need to remember... this rig costs literally like 25x mine! Lol!

£200 pounds amp, £20 guitar. Although the guitar was amazing price, It cant match a £5700 odd rig lol

[FatMaro]

That guitar is absolutely gorgeous!! PRS doesn't really suit me, but man those are terrific. I wish you guys would do a review on some Fender guitars!

[Tanikaze2]

I was wrong but right, I distinctly remember musiciansfriend having one up for 10 grand, but it possibly was some first run limited. Regardless, the new price is still ridiculous.

[shaunbdouglass]

open their eyes, and realize we're oooooonnne (8)

that guitar sounds amazin

i truly believe PRS make the best guitars goin

[Adji87]

there is something about PRS guitars that 'suit' you chappers.

[RobChappers]

I know...

Ok I admit it, we all make mistakes and leaving PRS was mine. But I'm free to play them again now ;-)

[Adji87]

aha yeah, osrry i wasnt really bringing that up, jsut say that theres something about the shape of PRS that suits you huh.

[Semach4444]

I loved you with PRS too, but I'm happier to see you play everything... ESP was a mistake for sure.

I'll be excited when you get a strat in your hands like the good old days.

Again, I'll put in a vote for Budda.

Budda < Budda+Chappers < nothing.

[Metalfooll]

Rob you have a lot of experience with ESP and PRS. Do you know wich prs neck profile is the most similar to esp thin u? Would the custom 24 regular neck profile be closer than the wide thin or wide fat? cauz i love my esp neck and hate my ibanez wide thin one...it feels like a sheet of paper wich is not great for me.

[RobChappers]

You need a custom 24 with a wide thin mate ;-)

[Golchen]

Hey - that's Jeff Pumfrett! He used to run my local shop (machinehead) for many years - long time no see. A bit of a character!!

[RobChappers]

Yeah mate he is the best, I buy my guitars from him, enough said ;-)

[nacnac3]

Glad to see your not stuck with ESP any more. You and PRS make some crazy nice tone

[kamikazimonk1987]

Prs has to be one of the Most versatile guitars ever! i Own a PRS 513 and it can just be used for everything from Country to Metal to blues! its brilliant! only things that can come close are ol Musicman!

[FredtheShred]

Interesting comment, albeit somewhat partial. I do tend to agree that in the tone / versatility / comfort few brands can touch touch the consistency PRS and MM offer, though.

That's probably why I own 2 of which - saves me the hassle of carrying a bazillion guitars for those quick sessions. :)

[dwg316]

very nice guitar

[ColinPRS]

Glorious tone, I agree it beats ESP every time. £3500, is a little high, the couple I've seen for sale are about £3200.

[chrisiztheman1618]

what a beautiful guitar. I think that chappers like prs over esp or any other company because every time i see him playing one he seems like hes enjoying them allot more

[Andy13deanguitars]

hmmm PRS is better than any company but Rob told me he finds ESP better...but maybe he's lying that he doesn't lose the sign with ESP...I don't know anyway a great guitar made for a legend!

[chrisiztheman1618]

kinda funny that you have dean guitars in your name and say that prs is better. rob has stoped endorsing esp a month ago. same with orange.

[lugerman]

he stopped endorsing PRS AAAAAAAAAGES ago, when he went to ESP...

[Andy13deanguitars]

i was a huge dean fan once and i own one...because i can't offer a PRS...are you sure because he told me a week ago that ESP is his number one

[chrisiztheman1618]

hes not endorsed by them lmao you should no this by now if youve been watching his videos

[Andy13deanguitars]

man i don't have the time to watch all his videos...

PRS is the best

[cderycke]

I need that amp in my life!!! :0

[VampireAmplifier]

chappers i actually think your unique! there is no other guitarist out there like you and i can some you up in one word AMAZING!!

[bluesgunner]

Oh my God that's beautiful! The TONE!

[AdiHughesGuitar]

Awesome as always

[ETaucher]

Hey man just wondering, what camera are you using?

[TMSierra]

thats my dream guitar

[yoyodunno]

wow very nice and raspy sounding pickups

[hellisforheroes]

i really need to try out some matchless amps soon! stunning guitar

[MattRing]

Hi Rob, Do you know of any guitar shops that have ESP guitars in this number? My playing is more suited to the ESP/EMG style. I really appreciate the woods and craftsmanship in the PRS and im sure its something I will grow into in later life. Great video's, please keep making the, and looking forward to seeing the signature ML1 soon.

Matt.
