Why I Don't Like PRS Guitars 🎸SE Soapbar II Review

"Ernie-ballsack" had me nearly spit tea over the keyboard!! LOL. Nice one Collin!

PRSs dont do it for me much either, but i dont hate them Paul himself sounds insufferable, and just puts me off the whole brand

I always get asked why I spend my lunch break on a Friday sat in the car. Answer Col is on.

Lets be honest, looks count for a lot in guitars, you buy what you like then make them playable if they are not already

The "Fat chin test" was a real eye-opener! Would like to see that test on a Firebird 🤔

Im a massive prs fan and own several. But, i also understand that mojo overall is a function of the guitar, the gear, and the player coming together. If the player isnt inspired by a guitar/brand/version, then the mojo will never be there. I get it. I just appreciate col giving a factual review of whatever he is looking at. I cant stand sg’s, or gibsons and epiphones for that matter, but i appreciate col being able to review gear in an effective manner and i respect his skills/history.

Santana did his best work on a Yamaha SG

The more of this guy’s videos I watch the more I think he and his channel are a modern ‘missing link’ of what YouTube would have looked like if it was in the internet era of 1996-2003 (or whatever). This is a huge compliment— internet of today is 💯 about on engagement in order to get your money. There is next to zero actual ‘content’ created by unique personalities that is not entirely focused on marketing to the viewer in some fashion. I’m not naive and I understand how things operate, it’s just great to see these style of videos

Being a proud Canadian I owned two Godin guitars. Made in Canada, awesome build quality, real quality guitars. There were a Stadium (T style), and a Radiator (2020 version, LP style with a really stupid name lol). In my opinion, really good mid level guitars, but I just could not fall in love with them, ended up trading them both in, around a year after buying them.first the studio went towards a Epiphone Wilshire, and the Radiator went towards my Epiphone LP Junior. Took a loss on on the jr but could not be happier. Just goes to show that even if the quality is there, on nice instruments doesn't mean they are going to be "for you" so yes I traded two good North American guitars for two Chinese built ones at a loss on one but they look feel and play right for this Living Room Legend.

This is gold from you col. I think we should call you the colonel!!!!!! We love you mate. The nicest bloke on guitar utube channels. Keep em coming.

Gotta tell you Colin, I was fussin around w/ headphones on doing work. I stopped what I was doing to come look at this as the sound was really good on my end. I wouldn’t mind having that guitar at all. Seriously, not sure what it sounds like in your room, but here, it is really nice.

Wow! I thought I was the only person in the world who wasn't a fan of PRS guitars.

Well I have a custom 24 core and an older 97 original McCarty. And I dont play them much, thought it was just me... Thanks for the review.

100% agree with PRS skepticism. I'm sure they are really well made and great value for money. But they dont speak to me at all, tried one in a shop just one time, didn't like it.

And I like Santana’s sound/voice better when he played a Gibson. (Same with Clapton.)

That's better , My Friday night viewing has arrived 🙏😂, Cheers from Brisbane , Australia👍☺

I have two,( a Hollowbody, and a Custom24, both SE ) and they are soo good; I can’t fault them, they are perfect. Perhaps the ‘personality’ of other guitars gives them ‘character’!.

Regardless of the guitar it is Colin`s stream of consciousness that is the Star of the show. Keep Safe.

Well you’re right. Prs wasn’t there when the music was happening. Prs will never get over that. When the party ended prs popped its head round the door and said “ hey I’m here!” Everyone at the party said “ we’re all off to bed” “ you’re 40 years too late mate” “ shut the door when you leave” A local guitar builder once said to me “ it’s a great piece of furniture to hang on the wall” “ it’s for bankers and accounts really mate”

Not a PRS guy either but if this one popped up at my local shop for a few hundred I might've bought it just to have at least one 'PRS' in the 'collection.' It does sound good, obviously well made. I play standing mostly, maybe these line up for high fret access and balance better on a strap. But I think you got a good deal and that's a keeper for a while at least. You may even start liking it a little. Cheers from Dallas y'all!
