  • Im fucking proud of that I have a PRS guitar too !! Damn that feels really better than have a GIBSON or FENDER !

  • This vid is popular on Wellington

  • what they dont tell you is that by the end if something is wrong by their standards, they cut the guitar in half

  • I want PRS Custom 24 and PRS semi-hollowbody! I am making my request known...Thank you all in advance.

  • Comment removed

  • I got my prs se tremonti yesterday and i love it!

  • Real Craftmanship.

    Screw Gibson!

  • the only brand of guitar that WANT SO BAD!!!

  • I Wanna Work There !!!

  • Wow there guitars are unbelievable they're so beatiful!

  • god i wanna work there

  • 5:08 a wild paul riario appears...

  • i have never played or heard a prs sound bad at all in my life, but he really should consider making them a little cheaper or he may find him self out of business.

  • I am a gibson made guitar and i find this very offensive

  • So a fat middle-aged blonde woman made the pickups in my CE22....awesome.

  • 05:09 Paul Riario in the back??

  • deathrape: you are right on in your comments.its ALL CORPORATE GREED.that dragon inlay is cheap to make n it doesnt add anything to the sound its just artwork.they sell the DRAGON MODEL GUITARS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE.how many necks and bodies are produced by those ROBOT MACHINES A DAY? ALSO .HIS RICH INVESTORS OWN THE COMPANY.I WORKED FOR RICKENBACKER IN SANTA ANA CA.ITS A SWEAT SHOP.TRUST ME

  • Had my first guitar lesson ever on a PRS CE22, and 8 years later I can call that guitar my own! Once you go PRS you never go back! :P

  • Having never played a PRS, my mate has one. I wanna seriously know. Between a Gibson and PRS is there any competition. I mean people have told me than PRS quite good. Are they even anywhere near close to a Gibson?

  • @Joffa1994 I'd say, for the same price build quality of PRS is better than that of Gibson (I'm not talking about the Custom Shop/Private Stock models which are perfect). Soundwise, it's just the matter of opinion, I like the PRSi more. I have a '95 McCarty and I've never played an LP from the same era (and price) that could beat my guitar. Old Customs, new $3000-6000 Reissues - yes, modern chambered Standards and "weight-relieved" Standards and Customs - not even close.

  • strange to think that the woman at 12:01 could have been responsible for the making of some of Alterbridge's songs... lol

  • I own a Randy Rhoads Les Paul custom and a PRS Custom 24 I enjoy playing both guitars equally and trust me they weren't 500 $ guitars either between the two I own about 13gs in guitar.Both have unique characteristics that you can exploit for different tones and sounds, in the end it all comes down to personal preference. Also the fancy dragon inlays (dragoon series) are meant to be show pieces not played guitars

  • if ya ask me about PRS vs. Gibson... i would say its pretty much an Equal

  • It's not a dislike button, it's a fag counter :D

  • the average PRS costs a few grands. and they have alot of problems with them. trust me i no.

    deathrape2001 was right saying you should sell it and get a knockoff. but u gotta get an asian knockoff that is still good.

    now jacksons. they r some good quality guitars. depending on how much you pay for them. and basicaly by that i mean. you go out and buy a $500 guitar your not going to get somthing that much specdial. but wen u pay $2000 plus. you can see the difference.

  • "boooaabbb"

  • @DopeDethrone WoW! Magically by attacking me U have changed the properties of mahogany so that only PRS can deliver the tone required 2 give U sonic bliss =D Now go B a good boi & waste a years wages on some 'magical dragon inlay' they subcontracted 2 some Asian CNC fab place & makes the thing sound WORSE than if they simply did no inlays @ all. Oh yes - WTF with his 'resonance' talk, then off about their fancy plastic inlays that deaden things. Sure they look good, but they don't sound btr.

  • @Deathrape2001 C'mon, just enjoy the video or not, rate it as such and please don't antagonise people for no reason. I personally think that PRS make good guitars and Gibson USED to. The moment Gibson started worrying about 'robot' guitars and swirly colours, they started forgetting about the important things like tonewoods, pickups, hardware and audience.

    And before you say anything about my 'crap' taste or whatever, I've played both a Custom 24 and a Gibson Les Paul Classic and the PRS wins.

  • @kenco117 Go on with your 'kill-the-messenger' nonsense. Everything I say is obvious & correct & U know it.

  • @DopeDethrone Typo sorry - I meant 'troll-tard', not 'troll-dard' - OOPS! =D BTW: How can PRS sound so good if GibKrap has a monopoly on that 'magic mahogany' that makes them so very superior 2 the countless Les Paul knockoffs from Asia that R also made of the same stuff. HAHAHAHA

    Dontcha' know mahogany only sounds good if it's from PRS! I mean, it's not like N E 1 else lets their stuff dry out 1'st. yaknow! Yeah, those japs never dry their stuff 1'st either right? =))

  • @DopeDethrone U R just a fanboy troll-dard loser-boob who tries 2 equate the size of his yin-yang with the price of his twanger  =)) WTF dood even some used Carvin bag of trash off Ebay has a compound radius. That 'block in hand' stuff went out with square wheels in the dark ages, noob! Everything U R saying is nonsense trying 2 build value into your bad investment. If U were rational U would sell that PRS & get a knockoff. They sound the same & cost 1/100 the $.

  • Deathrape is right. PRS is almost as bad as gibson. It looks like a chicken slaughterhouse and the workers are monkeys. The only reason these guitars are so expensive is that they're made in America.

    Search for the Premier Guitar Music Man factory tour as well, thats something different. They also put in some pre-arc before sanding the fretboard so it ends up even in radius (no internal stress) after the strings are on.

  • This really blows my mind. All that CNC & whatever & they don't even bother giving the boards a compound radius! ROFL!! DOOD! Just put the thing in a jig & sand it SIDEWAYS on a FLAT piece of sandpaper, then get the fine scratches out longitudinally. It's not rocket science. Hell Parker even goes a little further & puts a bit of pre-arc in there 2. WTF Oh yeah, PRS, thou$ands overpriced, & action still worse than ASIAN KNOCKOFF CNC competitors =))

  • what do i need to do so i can get job in thsi factory?

  • PRS=ONLY QUALLITY

  • PRS for me is the Most Sexiest Guitar ever created

  • They work really really fast.

  • Best sounding finish? Scary... Those guys in the factory look like failed musicians...

  • @pieterjanoddens Nitrocellulose finishes are actually wood pulp-based finishes. They, for instance, DO "sound" better. Thats what he means, I think.

  • The best guitars factory i ever seen

  • So many things have happened since Tadeo Gomez stoped to work at the small atelier

  • i..... i NEED to work there

  • How much do they get paid?

  • guitars in general are to expensive

  • 11 bunk Gibson owners stopped by for a view and got really jealous...

  • iv'e applied numerous time, but nothing man.

  • that was FASCINATING HOLY DAMN

  • beautiful guitars, just one question.im i able to buy a custom 24 wtith paua inlays instead of the normal ones?or do i have to buy the whole artist package?

  • if i worked there i wouldnt have a paycheck, because i would want to buy like ever guitar. lol

  • if i worked there i wouldnt have a paycheck.

  • 11 people own a china branded guitar =D

  • You will neevr pick up one and not be amazed at how good the they feel, they all play like a dream, shame you can't say the same about Fender and Gibson!!

    PRS QC is top notch, they are the best sounding and playing guitars in the world.

  • these guitars are the best guitars ever i really want one now but they are so expensive but i wont give up i will get one someday

  • bloody adverts

  • this is like disneyland

  • i'd love to go there and rais their dumpster for dodgy ones XD id still have them hahahaha

  • 666 videos...

  • i managed to play a left handed prs at a music show in london not so long ago, and im not going to lie, it was one of the best experiences of my life, you can really feel all of the work that goes into the guitars.

  • Paul at 5:09 !

  • @ShreddyEddy8D Paul? O.o

  • Does anyone else hear Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath playing at 11:09? FUCK YEAH

  • fuck I want one :(

  • 11:00 Hand of Doom \m/

  • made jus like any other guitar lol!!! nothin special...

  • those guitars are amazing, i played one n fell inlove w it

  • hes a good presenter yo

  • Looks like painfully boring repetitive work. 

  • how the fuck do they put in the dragon inlays?

  • i hate scrunchies

  • PRS look gay, they look like shit , but they sound good. Anyway, gibson is way better, gibson knows how to make guitars look good ,PRS gives a shit about how they look.

  • @Macsk8ing I totally agree! prs sounds pretty good, but gibson still edges them out IMHO, but PRS style is terrible, and that's why I'll stick with a Les Paul or Strat/Tele ANY day.  Something about the style of the prs, all have that horrible flaming/striations, I mean, look at how Gibson does their colors or perhaps do something a little "dirty" like a Fender Custom Shop relic. if PRS does that, makes their guitars less "pretty" I"ll buy in a second. just sayin.

  • @starassist1977 I sell Gibson and PRS guitars and believe me ,I never have to send a PRS guitar back to the factory for a) bad lacking or b) problems with the finisching or c)problems with the electronics but the Gobson guitars ..i lost count

  • @Macsk8ing have you seen the firebird x?

  • @Guitarist9992 Yeah, 3/20 models from Gibson are ugly, but from PRS 100/20 are ugly as hell.

  • HOLY SHIT ITS PAUL!!! 5:03

  • @stephen0093 thought i recognized that fag....

  • @stephen0093 where, where!!!!! ????? lol

  • @stephen0093 ya and he was like oh sorry didnt wanna interrupt you!

  • @stephen0093 hahaha I noticed that aswell :')

  • @stephen0093 i thought you meant paul as in Paul reed smith

  • @powerNEEDcontrol i was JUST about to say that

  • my paradise

  • It's a shame they don't actually paint their fretboards lime green.

  • I wish esp did a factory tour like this.

  • @dimebagrulz123 it would just be a bounch of little chinese kids in a dark room trying to make guitars for minimum wage. THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE.

  • damn google ads slowing my internets.

  • that make me love my PRS even more! :))

  • at about 2:53-2:55 id he just throw that body on the table!?

  • the guitar he show at 10:50 is the same one ive got :)

  • i wish i could go to work in band t-shirts:D!

  • @crossandcrown I know man, shit I saw a KMFDM shirt there, that's pretty awesome stuff right there

  • Made in Maryland my home state!!

  • PRS are so sexy!

  • these arent guitars, they are jewels!

  • @Neltheros made by the gods!

  • @Neltheros muthah fuck you these things r the like ur moms crusty ass panties after i bang her... FUCKIN GROSS!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Neltheros that wasn't a compliment wasn't it ?

  • @3M00RI it was. though i should have said "these arent just guitars but also jewels"

  • NEED HELP! im looking at getting a PRS i play spanish guitar, but can play electric to some degree quite well.  I was woundering what type of sound and genre of music to play on the PRS, like blues or latin? And whether a bassy sound or more trebble?

    Any help. Thanks

  • 05:09 isn't that paul from guitar world?

  • @pietershertogen Shit, that's weird. 

  • @pietershertogen he's probably doing a thing on PRS for guitarworld. or he directed this vid.

  • JOSE!!!!!!!!

  • Now I understand why they are so expensive. They are practically hand made. I feel way better spending $2500 on a prs than a gibson.

  • haha u can see paul from guitar world, whats he doin there ??

  • i want a se but superstrat,. they dont have that but id love a prs

  • 5:08 Paul!!!!

  • These are my favorite guitars fenders are my second favorite.  but i pretty much onluy play a strat fender wise so....

  • these guitars r beautiful! im getting my first one soon and im vry pumped :D

  • GREAT VIDEO THE WORK MAKES FENDER LOOK LIKE CRAP IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE AN AMERICAN FACTORY PRODUCING GOODS OF SUCH QUALITY i AM SO SICK OF CHINESE EVERYTHING YOU CAN SEE THE WORKERS DON'T HAVE THEIR HEART IN THEIR WORK AND YOU CAN SEE THE WORKERS AT PRS DO HAVE THEIR HEARTS IN IT. I HOPE THAT PRS IS NOT TAKEN OVER BY ONE OF THE BIGGER COMPANIES LIKE IN THE 60'S BALDWIN PIANO BOUGHT OUT FENDER AND MOSERITE AND OTHERS AND STARTED MAKING THEM IN OTHER COUNTRIES.

  • @jntdavis97 yes im sure you had to put everything in capitals...

  • their guitars are TOO overpriced

  • @bbshooter1221 i disagree. you're paying for the best wuality guitars. watch the interview iwht paul and he explains all the amazingly finite details they put into them. yes they are expensive but you are getting the best qualty instruments out there

  • at 5:09 where he's talking about the inlays, that's Paul Riario from guitar world in the background right?

    Great video too. I've been looking at a custom 22 for a while now. I think this has just convinced me

  • love these guitar....my dream is to own a top notch custom PRS

  • I have a SE and i can still feel a great deal of quality in the guitar and the finish on the top is just like they do the american ones only their not carved the top still shows like its a prs this is the best guitar manafacturer ever.

  • @guitarfreakRSS Thanks for that, guitarfreakRSS

  • Hey... I want, need one of those custom 24s... I'm saving to buy one but...

    Who wants to sell one to me... cheap!!! (not the Chinese ones)

  • 5:08 its paul xD

  • does the south Korean models are any good quality?

  • @YongYDG the Korean made SE series are great, at lest as good as les paul studio at a very reasonable price.

  • @ChetZenor yeah i think my new Paul reed smith paul allender with the emgs 81 89 is really nice i belive its a wide thin neck?

  • @YongYDG yes their great I just got one used and they are totally worth it the only flaw I noticed in cosmetics on the se was the fact that around the neck area where it connects to the body its alot splochy. However mine is a sold black on the back of the guitar so they spray paint, where as the clear ones are hand painted so you wouldnt see this probably on the ones with a transparent finish.

  • @guitarfreakRSS the therm your looking for is stained finish:D and yeah the only issue with this neck it that prs in SKorea i guess filed it jst a tab so it look alittle funny but i dyed the frett bored dark brown blackish color so you cant tell. and i put some gibson tuners does the job right and im acctually selling this prs for a better one!

  • is even the cheeper £400 guitars hand made like these are..?

  • i like not inlays in my guitar, is that bad?

  • And then god said, "Do not let my axes touch the ground."

  • wohoo..too shiny for me..

  • on 5:25 paul from guitar world is there in the black jacket

  • PRS are great guitars.

    I will try to attach a video i have uploaded whitch is a comparison between a prs a Gibson Les paul and an EVH Wolfgang.

    Cheers

  • awesoome, im getting one, the exact one orianthi plays:)

  • @xguitarist123x nice i want that one however i ended up with a discontinued model of the se custom 22 not exactly what i wanted but hey for 350 dollars how could i say no. Are you a fan of orianthi by any chance?

  • @guitarfreakRSS awk, there pretty good. & yes ! i am, shes amazing

  • @xguitarist123x orianthi is like my 2nd favortie guitarist and a huge inspiration. My favorite is nickelback i guess i am drawn to people with prs's. And you can say that orianthi is amazing a million times over and it wont get old.

  • 5:08 ... Hey it's Paul Riario, the Gear guy.

  • No PRS comes close to a Fender Sratocaster Deluxe with n3 noiseless pick-ups.

  • @jprincehouston in your opinion some of us however are lovers of metal and in some cases thats just something even a noiseless pickup strat cant handle.

  • 5:08 Is that Paul from guitarworld in the background?

  • @allamericandude15 yup XD hahaa its fun how he notices the cam and goes away

  • @allamericandude15 Yes,he is :)

  • why is he a nice guy. he could be a stalker for all you know,

  • My next guitar is going to be a PRS 513. Can't wait.

  • Makes ya want to buy one.

  • @edwsshaw1 dude... I would HIGHLY consider getting one if you can afford. they are amazing guitars. I just bought a PRS MCcarty II about a month ago. if you have ever played one, you would understand why they are so costly! there amazing lookers, and sound amazing. and really easy to play

  • @ZOSO1937 I played one in a shop and it was real nice. It was $600 used, but there is a problem: This was an early Santana made in Asia. So, how do you tell the real PRS from the others? My friend owns one and he whispers, "This isn't a real one." Can I get a real one for $1500 If so, what do you call it? Thanks

    For background purposes, my regular is a Gibson Howard Roberts. Meaning,

    I'm not rich, but won't waste my money on low priced stuff.

  • @edwsshaw1 ah i see. well i bought mine brand new, set me back £1,900! its beautiful. You will be able tell an expsensive one from a cheaper one. They make SE models which are alot cheaper than signature and hard bodied PRS, but play really nice. see if ya can try one of those out. also alot of the exspensive PRS guitars come with the Pearl Bird Inlays.

  • @ZOSO1937  Thanks

  • @edwsshaw1 it will say se on it and generally the american ones have a carved top where as most se's dont. Se stands for starter edition so thats how youll know.

  • I had a beautiful Santana III Whale Blue Bird-in-lays Ten Top 24 frett and a PRS Custom 22" Amber Yellow. Bird-in Lays Ten Top. They are very awesome sounding guitars using Mesa Boogie amp.

  • My dream guitars ! Everything is perfect but the price !!!

  • @huzza18 but whats money among friends

  • Very informative insight into the process...

  • AHAHA PAUL @ 5:12... he's like o crap they're filming!

  • at 5:09 is that Paul From GUITAR WORLD who does all the GW reviews online???

  • @phallystorm I think he is .

  • Love your guitars!! I'm playing a singlecut in a blues video on Youtube! I have got a lot of comments on how nice it looks! Thanks PRS!!!! Joey Vaughan "World Blues Attack"

  • man they are the most beautiful guitars ever, perfect to play perfect sound perfect everything. I love my custom 22 so much

  • Man playing these guitars are freakin awsome! i tested one and its amazing, i believe it was a custom 24, guitar of my dreams man.

  • 5:06 that's Paul from guitar world :D lol

  • @ iselldummysmacks - where on earth did you get 95% from? after watching this, the gibson factory tour, and the fender tour...prs seems to have the most care with their products during the hands on part. i own all three and can say my prs is the best guitar i've ever owned. gibson's are not any more cost realistic than prs's. fenders are cheaper cuz much less goes into them. tele's are literally just a slab of wood. standard prs to standard les paul are right on point with eachother.

  • actually the BIGGEST waste of money ive seen in a gibson guitar would be a 10,000 dollar guitar that takes one year to make

  • @CHICKMAGNET66666 not even a year. probobly a month at most.

  • its expensive because it goes through alot of processes and then they sell the guitars to a retailer which needs to make a profit which increases prices + Tax and all that rubbish

  • why did not Paul do this

  • @hedcase23 There is a tour he did in another video.

  • @hedcase23 speak proper English next time

  • @WelcomeToIowa69

    He wasn't speaking was he?

    Capital letters and full stops are good also.

  • @hedcase23 cause hes busy making amazing guitars!

  • @hedcase23 Paul @ 5:08

  • What model does Ben Kasica use?

  • Mira

  • He uses a Mira

  • i fuckn want one....

  • i think i just saw paul at the back then from guitar world :)

  • He's my best friend <3

  • @TheJackattack666 he was sanding lol!!!

  • @hermanshermits124124 man i wish i had his job that would be great =D
