To be honest, i have yet to hear a PRS that impresses me. Something about the sound that doesn't gel with me. Most guitarists that switched to PRS sounded better with whatever guitar they played previously

Not me. My Les Paul can eat my sack. I hope the next owner broke it or used it for firewood.
:thu:

 

Agreed, my LP was a major hunk of crap...I couldn't be happier w/ my Singlecuts.

 

Anyway, JIMMY HERRING (he plays mostly Strats now though)

Looks like an HBII w/ an extra volume mod

I'm no PRS fanboy, but this, frankly, is bollocks.

He's also said that he prefers LPs because they sound bigger than his PRSes. Just saying.



Alex Lifeson also admitted that his Gibsons are a bitch to maintain while the PRSi are in tune straight out of the case. I saw Rush on the Moving Pictures 30th anniversary tour: yes, he used mostly Les Pauls but he brought out at least 3 PRSi for several songs, mostly from the Counterparts and Test for Echo era.

I have to +1 David Grissom. An incredibly tasteful player who has worked with everyone from the Dixie Chicks to John Mellencamp, Joe Ely and Storyville.

I have serious GAS for his signature guitar:

hardly anyone will know her, so she wouldn't be classed as 'great', but she could certainly out play a lot of guys. But Josie Jason was one of the 2 people(the other being her bandmate Jimi Hocking) that made me learn guitar about 20+ years ago. She was a club player in Melbourne and she played her trusty red PRS for as long as i knew. I hadn't heard of a PRS but really dug her guitar, i figured they must have been fairly cheap as hardly anyone else played them, then i looked into it and found out the real reason hardly anyone played them, they were still relatively new and cost a LOT. It was the only guitar i ever saw her play. Sadly she died last week from cancer and at her send off her PRS was there as well.

 

 

this is her in the early days, and with Jimi

her more recently.

at her send off, the PRS was the centre of attention behind them.

Jimi leading the guitar of honor.
