Germany,Monsters of rock,sept.1983 was their last hurrah...

Ugliest guitar design ever

I was a music store today trying out a Quad Cortex and a Helix, and not digging them at all. I spied an old PRS Harmonic Generator head nearby, so I plugged into it. It totally smoked the modelers. For fairly old solid state technology, it actually sounded damn good. It didn't have any of that fizzy, buzzy overdrive that a lot of solid state amps have. It was fat and punchy sounding that cleaned up when rolling back the guitar's volume. It had pretty decent dynamics for a SS amp. I ended up taking the amp home. It reminds me a bit of the old Lab series amps. I know these amps were a big failure in the marketplace, I remember a store sitting on a half stack for over a decade. I don't think the world was ready for a high end SS amp in 1990. Dan Pearce also found out that lesson the hard way with his expensive Pearce amps.

Brazilian Rosewood. Those were the days.

Randy Hansen still going strong up here in Seattle

Paul playing with that 80s metal tone is hilarious.

For such an old shitty sound recorded video (yes i do know it is an old video), i could actually hear every suttle difference in sound and tone when Mr.Paul, was demo'ing the range of pick-ups, and really digging in to those strings (unlike many who lightly strum) to try to make the guitar sound soft.??! That was full testament to how incredible these guitars really are and how they are made, and apart from tone in the fingers, the tone is ALSO in the wood, materials and ingenious techniques he used. Excellent.❤️👏👏👏👏👌👍 Subbed.!

They were on the right trajectory

When I see a employee wearing a Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow T-shirt , that is enough right there to show me that these guitars are in good hands!!!!

Just subscribed 🎉🎉🎉

Nice to see PRS in the early days. Love the guitar he is playing to demonstrate the pickups (the blue one) - that’s the style of PRS I would love!

Uli, John Wetton, jack bruce and Simon Phillips... what's to to like... awesome.

Zeno guitar sound is unreal

Furthermore, I didn’t realise there was other great artist playing with uli, Randy Hanson is the best Hendrix tribute in the world ever period to now 2023

This is great a Jimi Hendrix song, I only heard JH studio version, This is a different level of music by the great JH,

Very cool , honestly first time listening to this band ... So melodic. Cheers!

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

The best guitar builder in the world.

Now I want to find one of those amps.

It just occurred to me that I have never seen a video from other big guitar companies where the founder actually straight up plays.

3:07 I'm here after seeing what happened to Herman Li's PRS.

i dont remember these amps back then i guess they didnt sell too well?

I love the factory luthiers with mullets. "You want a nice guitar? It's comin out of your paycheck"

Simple times, I miss the old days.

I think Paul was a better player in 90 then he is today..Ive been with PRS since 1987. Thanks Paul for me having to field questions all night !! What the hell is that thing. I never left PRS. Owned around 200 and my fav since 2012 the NF3. I owned Vernon Reidsville C24

Great, everything is just. I wish paul could be inmortal.

14:39 this has the tone of Judas Priest's "You Got Another Thing Coming" :)

22:38

What model is that light blue guitar Paul plays to demo pickups? That guitar sounds amazing!

22:35 Paul eats a pick

It's 31 yrs ago now. Amazing footage.

@17:52 a third of a what?

Wow I’ve never see Paul this young , he was so ahead of the curve i31 years later this video shows why PRS guitars are worth the money 💰 and a pipe under the road ? haha

Loooove that maryland accent

the legend . Paul Reed Smith .. man id like to meet this guy someday . i currently own 9 core guitars and hope to buy at least 5 more before i am 40 years old

I love Paul. He such an encredible connaisseur of guitars and music. We are lucky to have him build these sweet instruments.

Damn. He came across as completely focussed on amazing guitars even back then. I bought a 2002 ten top after 20 + years of wanting a PRS and it did not disappoint. Amazing guitar. Sounds so musical and coherent. Hard to describe. Feels like home. I was coming from an Ibanez 91 RG570 which was an amazingly well built guitar. The PRS felt more homely. The neck is a little narrower but I can adjust. It just sounds more right. Very hard to explain. Just a more Coherent Guitar. Through and Though more musical. Play one and you'll know what I mean. I was wedded to my RG570 for 20 years. I bought it in 1993 with my student loan. I put a new pickup in it in about 94 (Multibucker) with a Micro switched Coil tap on both coils. Very versatile pickup. The neck on the RG570 92 variant is epic. It's wide and flat and has Jumbo frets the make bending easy as pie. Without a doubt it's the fastest neck I've ever played on. I can play faster on that neck than anything including the PRS. What you compromise with the Ibanez is tone. Tone but also some subtle things like bend a note on the Ibanez and the whole Floyd Rose will bend down. Bend a note on the PRS and the bridge is stable. There's certainly a horses for courses argument here. My Ibanez is a magnificent guitar and there definitely things it will be better at than the PRS. I'm just surprised there aren't more of them. Honestly these PRS guitars survive the hype. Luv and Peace.

What a little gem!

Great video and incredible instruments!

funny how his attitude has changed,he rude to people unless you're a star he looks down on the people that buy his guitars,so why give a guy my $$ that's now rude but was kissing ass when they first started.

When vintage gear was new

This was an awesome and interesting watch for me. Paul seems to be a special kind of guy who really knows his product. I have allot of respect for him and his staff for building the PRS brand into what it is today. I hope to be lucky enough to own one in the future. Beautiful throwback video.

Paul's guitar tone in this video is freaking off the charts good.

thank you for the video. how i wish the guitar/PU demos had better audio quality. it all sounds the same to me, makes me wonder how they really sounded

he's very wise

What an absolutely amazing video...I play guitar now, the virus left me no choice with lock down and for me it has been a minor miracle and a revelation. I have been learning on a 2000 Squire Strat and though a rather cheap guitar when talking about the hardware and material construction, I love it...It has a great neck on it, never goes out of tune and always playable however in Jan 2021 I certainly plan on purchasing one of PRS guitars, they are Beautiful guitars and sound amazing

I’ve been playing the HFS/vintage bass pickup set for almost 20 years now and still consider it to be the best humbucking setup on the market. Yes...Bare Knuckle, Fralin, Dimarzio and Duncan have put out some killer stuff but every time I plug in my ‘02 cu24, my brain goes “yup, there it is 🤤”. It’s the sum of its parts (and the guitar’s entire system contributes in some way or another) but that pickup set just takes the sonic perfection and delivers it down the cable perfectly...a solid, unbroken connection between brain, fingers and speakers. And that’s what you’re looking for with any tool. The lowest amount of resistance between your creativity and the finished product. So this isn’t total PRS “propaganda”, I’ll state for the record that Fender’s Fat 50s pickups perform the same function in my strats.
