Johnny Hiland PRS Signature Guitar Review

[phallystorm]

He makes it all look so simple!!!

[WithoutanyHorizon]

buy the guitar and you'll play like that.... yeah sure....

[Chrismayo1981]

Dude can play anything.... damn.

[deltafit]

Ya know what...if i could choose to play like ANY guitarist on earth right now....it would be Johnny!

[RyanMcMusic]

Got one of these used a couple of weeks ago, love it.

[Sphereal]

Great tone!

[InfiniteMisery003]

@AlbusFret i dont imagine it'll be ideal for metal. i just meant i want a PRS for fun, for when i'm not playing metal. but they cost alot lol.

[InfiniteMisery003]

i would love to have a prs guitar just for fun, cause i play mostly heavy metal, but man do they cost alot.

and this guy is a hell of a guitarist.

[AlbusFret]

@InfiniteMisery003 you can also play heavy metal with it ?

[rockerhvy]

lol. his accent really really made my day... he sounds like a very happy country man.:D

[TheShedder1]

What a great player! Is there anything he can't play?

His new musicman sounds much better (especially with D.Allen pups fitted) check it out on youtube!

[stratthead]

Great player, but that tone doesn't have any depth. It's so polite and that's how I find all PRS guitars. Doesn't sound like he's spanking it, like on a tele. A tele would be meaty and have that low end. On the rock, it sounds very polite, there's no aggressiveness or balls there. He needs a tele and an LP. A PRS tries to be a swiss army knife and ends up so-so on everything.

[B0B0damonkey]

@stratthead i hate to say it but that is single handedly the best description of a prs i have heard

[daskitso]

Brother, love to hear you play. And amazing to design one guitar that does so much.

[Bradbssargdons]

I have never seen fatter fingers in my entire life. how the hell does he do that

[JRCrowley]

@Bradbssargdons Segovia's fingers also were very, very fat. Start eating.

[AlbusFret]

@Bradbssargdons lol. sssccht! don't say that!. he does it VERY well as you can see

[DReidGuitars]

OMGGGGGGGGGGG. was Johnny just finger tapping tha guitar. this guy is trully a guitarist of all trades

[MrCtmachine]

That guitar has got IT! Great talent..so glad I found this post.

[boboplex]

I love the way Johnny Hiland goes from genre to genre flawlessly..very polished player..he deserves an artist signature PRS.

[BizKatsz]

he playes fucking AWESOME !!!

[Stratonini]

I met Johnny Hiland at Thunder in The Valley in Johnstown PA.He is as good of a person as he is a guitarist. And also 4:10. That is so badass I am stealing the hell out of that.

[Lived2112]

i love this guy

[jasonspell]

This is a product demonstration, but am I the only guy watching this as a master lesson? I'm stealing the shit out of these licks

[ChopinBachGoethe]

You are awesome

[GRRJayyy]

that smile he does at 6:25 because he knows he's so good :)

[countroshculla]

Johnny boy you can sure make that guitar sing. I've never heard of you before, but I like ur playing a lot.

[jemshredder666]

does anyone know the song he plays when hes doing the distorted blues tone?

[unaibeasko]

do they continue making this guitar?

[Metalfooll]

@unaibeasko no its been discontinued

[johnmacward]

Johnny, lose some weight. We want you around as long as possible.

[01herbert]

I love his grin after everything he plays!

This guy deserves SO much more recognition than he gets!

[777RAD777]

this guy can actually do it all. hes not just talk :D johnny hiland is brilliant

[pjb4521]

Even as a metal fan, this is one of my FAVORITE videos on the whole damn internet! Phenomenal guitar player.

[SmartWentCody]

I bet he could write a sick ass Death Metal riff.

[kalimoncho51]

Great man

[Soilwar]

Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth said that this is the best guitar he's ever played.. and that's gotta mean somethin'.

[Dudeprelude69]

AMAZING MAN!!!

[EnvyInc]

Johnny Hiland can play anything and kick ass doing it.

[philzeta]

One of the most versatile guitarists I've seen years. WOW. Keep up the good work.

[BurnElectric]

his vision is very poor, but he's not BLIND you idiots, and stop talking about that already

[biggfingger5]

@BurnElectric Sorry,but he is legally blind.

[xdivinebladex]

@downwitdakrown Just because he's blind doesn't take away from the fact the he has large fingers. And just because he made fun of his fingers doesn't mean that he doesn't know that he's blind.

[benellidown]

Never heard of him, but wow. Great skills, seems like a super nice guy and if PRS felt worthy to give him a signature model... I'm going to check it out. I have a 05 Custom 24 and love it. 

[xdivinebladex]

This guitar seems more like a fusion between the CU24 and the CE24. It has the mahogany body with maple top but it also has a bolt on and maple neck. I think it's a really cool thing and I'm getting mine today :D

[drumrnva]

That bit from 4:52 - 5:30 freaks me out. He's got serious musicianship.

[DennChooch]

PRS guitars can do anything you want them to do

[masterbaiter234]

fat fingers HAHAHA

[DrEviscerator666]

Shit i'm Blown AWAY! The Guy plays Country, and he Tapped on Some Distortion! Love all the Tones! Fuck man you're good! Sick Guitar BTW!

[MoneyPieBoy]

@DrEviscerator666 FYI, that guy is Johnny Hiland. One of the best new country players around.

[TimTehPilot]

maple neck looks amazing on prs'

[goldenaxeband]

I'm more impressed about the tone rather than his skills which are also great.

[adjohns1]

Great sounding/looking guitar and he makes it all look so easy!

[skeetv123]

That western swing he does at 4:50 is beautiful, just awesome.

[TheGitaarAAP]

f*ck dude u got some skills....great

[DEADxSAINT]

XXL Jumbo frets for those huge fingers.

[floydsrose2]

hahaha country spank

[whitefalcon113]

Country Spank!

[13thStreetGuitars]

I watched him play his signature guitar live at NAMM 09 the other day. He is absolutely amazing. That guitar is amazing as well.

Check out my video response to see the live clip of him.

[IpodCY]

O_O

holy crap cool guitar

2 bad im starting bass -.-"

[cottoneyejoe1]

phat guitar playing skills!

[SlashfanGuitarist]

i concur i like the "funky distorted tone" though you make it a bad review by not showing a simple open note.

[laneage]

@cottoneyejoe1 I see what you did there

[NickDrakeVirtuoso]

its cool how he can just slide between genres.

anyone know what amp hes using?

or how much that baby costs?

[Brayds]

Rad guitarist. And i don't even listen to country.

[ShiningYrael]

Johnny is the man!

[xCobhcxx]

dayum this guy shreds

[Hashbrick1234]

Why are all guitarists so fat?

[tylerdwells]

because they all spend there time sitting on there butt and drinking beer and playing guitar.

rock on

[AlexanderBlueAvenue]

because we dont have to walk to find the ladies, they come right to us douchebag

[bluepilluser45]

@Hashbrick1234 not all guitarists are fat get your facts straight before you make moronic comments

[JRCrowley]

Impressive! thanks.

[doristhebus]

awesome. PRS guitars are always cool... I love that guitar's tone. Johnny Hiland, you're the maaaan!
