  • Paul is a total guitar nerd and he makes no secret about it. He is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He remembers names like nobody I've ever met before, and he personally signs birthday cards for every employee. PRS factory employee here.

    I love that explains this simply without talking down to us. What a class act.
  • I want a video like this of Paul explaining every aspect of a guitar. This is fascinating, very enlightening stuff.
  • As an engineer that plays guitar, I absolutely love the frequency response graph. Best way to explain the differences between pickups.
  • Paul is no joke. He really knows his stuff and the main reason why his company is one the biggest in the world now. I bought a new PRS Custom 24 back in 1992 and barely knew anything about the company. At that time, it was the most I ever paid for a guitar. 30 years later it is still one of the best guitars I've ever owned. The thing is magic thanks to Paul and his team.
  • This man deserves a lot of praise. He is one of the few people in this industry that never stops innovating while staying true to the heritage of the electric guitar. That is just something very special. Proud to own one of his instruments!
  • Paul is the Willy Wonka of the guitar industry. That man has ears like a German Shepherd. Incredibly nice first class guy as well.
  • Wonderful introduction to pickup design. Paul really should do them as a weekly series, including guitar body design. Great instructor!
  • Paul is amazing, I love his passion. The way he retains so much excitement about his projects is a true inspiration. I think the wisest thing you can teach is that if you do something you love as a job it will never feel like work and he clearly loves what he does.
  • The TCI (Paul’s Pickup) and Narrowfield sound amazing! Like it’s the best of everything
  • I'm going to buy my first PRS, because Paul is so passionate about the most minut details, I want to support and be a part of that culture.
  • Please put Paul on camera more often. He’s such an amazing wealth of knowledge, and it’s so fun listening to him.
  • This video is AWESOME! I have 4 PRS guitars and I feel validated watching Paul talk about his craft.
  • This is so enlightening! Beautifully explained and played too - no frills pure sound comparing. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this, Paul! 🙏😎
  • This is a 13 minute masterclass! Paul explained and demonstrated so well. Pickups and positioning is not easy thing to understand/hear for me, but this demonstration showed day and night difference. Beautiful content and Paul gave 10, and to my ears he got 9.9 back :)
  • @kroadster3249
    So clear so concise I enjoyed every minute of the video. Thank you Paul for sharing
  • 85/15 are masterpiece, I bought my first PRS just because of their magical sound Now I’m totally a PRS fanboy Want more and more of your guitars and already ordered Horsemeat Keep going Paul! You and your team are genius wizards
