@@jonhmonroney12 Lol.. I see what you did there....
Took the words out of my quote.
Ask Stevie Wonder what his piano looks like, or if he cares. Stradivarius probably didn't care about the as opposed to the sound either.
You read my thoughts 😂 ! And It’s definitely how this works !
PRS stands for Pretty Rad but 'Spensive
I think it stands for "please re-shape", in reference to their necks

As a prs maryland cnc operator, builder and sander i can assure everyone that the love, care and attention that is put into our guitars is worth every penny. We dont let anything escape our factory unless it can be undoubtedly deemed perfect. Anything less gets destroyed
What's happening of late then? PRS groups on facebook are faaaar from happy.
@@hhpp6911 oh damn what’s been going on?
@@dm_hater8388 lots of QC issues, especially poor finishing on the horns of the silver sky models. Also other things that shouldn't have slipped.
@@hhpp6911 oh man that sucks to hear. Is it mostly on Silver Sky models?
I’m looking at a few used Core models that are pre-2010 and mint anyway so I’m guessing those still match the PRS reputation?
@@dm_hater8388 man don't hesitate to get a 2nd hand one. It's more that I'd be annoyed if I paid for a new one and it came with finish issues etc. but yes, all the reports I've seen have been the silver sky, like really bad orange peel (when spraying the clear coat). I got rid of my Gibson LP for a Custom 24 (£1500) and I've not looked back since, it's an incredible guitar. It's a 24-08. Very versatile, loads of dings but that's fine with me as I won't care if I add any. The only thing I would make sure of is to try some different necks in a shop to make sure which you like. I am a massive fan of the pattern thin and pattern regular.
If I can hear the difference in my phone speakers, you know it's freaking awesome.
Rob, it's an amazing guitar. Lifelong keeper. IMO it looks incredible. Don't think about it any more. Don't refinish it. Think of it as the girl you fall in love with that isn't your "type" at all. You are surprised at how much you love her despite how different she is from all your previous girlfriends. That's the woman you marry, Rob. And this is the guitar you buy.
THIS.
Guitarists, here is wisdom.
Nah
jayandgem lmaoo
lets hope your wife doesn't check your youtube :)
For what it's worth Rob, that McCarty plugged into that Victory is probably one of the best (if not the best) tone I've heard on your channel.
If you don't like the color, but you love everything else! Play it in the dark...
"Fear of the dark"
If you like the looks but hate the sound just plug your ears!
play it in the dark, for example, a club gig
They need more round things
My mind went to places it shouldn't have... Don't judge me, judge the hormones that puberty injected into my blood.
The hard truth is that a £5000 guitar would be totally wasted on me. It's the Law of Diminishing Returns; I'm simply not a good enough player to exploit the possibilities that such a guitar might potentially offer. Guitarists can have terrible egos, but in my heart I know my current level is about £500. I'm too good for a Squier Bullet, but not good enough for a Les Paul Standard. Those Electromatic Gretsches seem to be the guitars I 'deserve' at the moment!
I believe the law of diminishing returns stagnates at 800 $. Once it's over that, you only paying for external hardware, not sound quality. I've tried a 3000 $ gibson and a 800 $ ESP, the ESP was better. I have a jackson at 350 $ and it's still better then 90 % of guitars I've tried in stores over 500 $.
@@guitarrock58 yep, my prefered price range for a guitar is $700-$800, I can only imagine spending more for something custom
Those Gretches look awesome sauce. Especially in torino green.
I agree with what your saying how ever don't sell yourself short, if you could afford your dream guitar and know that would make you play it more than there no reason you shouldn't pick up a les paul standard.
Thanks for such a nice positive comment, but when you've been playing for thirty years and you're still mediocre, it's like god himself is trying to tell you not to give up the day job!
Rob you fool that guitar suits you so much... the colour is gorgeous
Chappers, if passing down some of your guitars to your son is in the plans... I'd like you know I'm up for adoption. I'm in my mid thirties, have a job, and am entirely self-sufficient. Think about it.....
But as far as the guitar goes. Go with the sound. You're a touring musician. If it were for a home player only, I could see the looks coming into play. But for someone who makes money off music, go for the tone. (But the blue on does look way better. Sorry)
lol
Michael Trice tone is such a fake and subjective thing. Feel is infinitely more important. You can't make a guitar play better by using a good amp or pedals.
Came back to watch this video after seeing it two years ago. Now, I really understand the depth of how true a situation this is. The two guitars that are my mains aren’t exactly in the finish I would have chosen. While the guitars I’ve chosen along my musical journey, partially for their looks, fall a little short of the magic my other two have. You simply don’t choose Excalibur, Excalibur chooses you! Also, I came back to this video, cause I just bought a new PRS. Let’s hope it bonds with me the way this one has with Rob. Btw, still think that color is awesome!
I actually really appreciated the points made, because they apply to any musical instrument. Thx guys for a cool video. Thumbs up!
I think a lot of people want to see a Sterling vs Music Man video.
I played both Sterling JP and EBMM JP back to back and cannot see the value in paying 2k premium of the Sterling.
Well, it is worth as much as someone's willing to pay for it. I've found it reasonable to pay 8x the price of a Sterling for a Majesty (yeah, gotta love the EU prices). I see it this way: when playing heavy stuff the sound difference between SBMM JP70 and EBMM JP6 was reaaaally small. As gain decreases, the difference gets bigger. Sterling is just garbage on cleans. The bridge is a joke as well. Now the Majesty, which I also have, is a totally different beast. By far the best sound I've ever experienced so it would just wipe the floor with SBMM. Also, remember that you pay extra for the build quality and durability. My Sterling is 3 yo, JP6 is 14 and the former is already starting to wear down. The latter is in perfect shape. I honestly expect Sterling to last 5 more years max before dying.
um no, I have. Did not care for the neck or thin fretboard. Nice guitar but overpriced. I like Suhr better.
Dude yes! I absolutely love my sterling but I've always been curious as to how it compares
Not really that interested...
Part of what I enjoyed so much about this was watching Chappers in the process of buying a guitar. I'd love to see Bea A/B two pedals or Captain A/B two amps etc. It's interesting seeing people who know gear, deciding about gear that they're personally buying. Love that colour btw!
I can't believe I have watched 3 of these long "challenges" and enjoyed ever minute of them - PLUS I've learned a lot!!!! I'm glad my less expensive PRS is liked by others!!! :)
imagine if the difference in tone was down to the pickup covers or height lol
DO NOT REFINISH A PRS!!!! THE COLOR IS GORGEOUS AND EVEN IF YOU TAKE IT TO CRIMSON GUITARS THEY WONT REFINISH IT PROPERLY. And the color is just gorgeous
Arman Amirkhanyan prs tech center does perfect refinishes
Lee is ready for a promotion, admiralty on the horizon, his playing is displaying a smooth , stoic , confidence, nice
This is a great video!! I love how this turned into a counselling session and music industry video. Do more like these!
My absolute favorite part of this is at 31:30 when rob is playing lead and plays an absolute godly lick and is trying to to look at the guitar he's playing and he is just in love and then he slowly looks down almost to tell himself that the guitar he's holding and doesn't like the look of is making that gorgeous sound almost like he's trying to accept it..
Rob I've probably watched a hundred of your videos and that things sounds as nasty as it gets. You gota do it. Never heard a better guitar on any Andertons video. It just has something special you can't get anywhere else. Clean or dirty its flawless
Hey Rob and Lee, Could you recreate your first set ups, what guitar and amp you started with and compare it what you can go to a store and get used or new with the same money now? If you go the used route maybe go to a random guitar store that has more used equipment than Andertons.
williamjr3413 now that is a great idea.
Yes great idea!
If I say that is a bad idea... I would be lying. For real Rob and Lee MUST do that challenge
Yesss, this is a damn great idea. You gotta do it Rob & Capt'n~
williamjr3413 That is the point of the matter. They're showing off Anderton's stuff. That is the reason for this show in the only place. He's not going to advertise for his competition, is he?
Guys, loved this vid. Watch all of yours, and this one really got into dilemmas that we all face from time to time and I was glued to it... Cheers!

Ah man I love this channel for these stories and subjects they're very intriguing, keep up the good work guys, honestly!
cheap guitar clean --> 11:49
Expensive guitar clean --> 14:03
cheap guitar solo --> 15:40
expensive guitar solo --> 08:39
Thank you!
Your clean comparison is misleading. At the time stamps you're providing, the cheap guitar is in neck pickup position and the expensive one is in bridge position. Hence the bassy vs trebly difference. They both sound fine, IMO. Not worth the extra 3-4,000.
I don't think you can get much from these videos because a simple pick up change will help massively with the cheaper model. The price tag is more about the feel and the finish, and the look. Those things you can't really get across in a video.

Justin Laidlaw good one :D Rob is a fun machine
how do you think he's got a baby?
Lee sounded really good in this video
i love your vids ....love the banter and love the in depth knowledge and talent you guys have....keep rockin' and jammin'
I absolutely love these videos. You guys have so much fun. I will have to drop in to Andertons soon! Regarding the expensive guitar comments - we all LOVE to see the outrageously expensive things but then we buy something for a tenth of the price and feel we've got a bargain. Keep the reviews and shoot-outs coming.
wait...how did you NOT make a video of your purchase and the back-to-back playing with other guitars????!!!!!!! i would have LOVED to see that!!!!
lee has really improved his geetar skills. try shredding someday!!
I dunno, I like his more laid back simple phrasing and great vibrato to balance out Chappers shredding.
Piyush Sharma Check his facebook. I'm pretty sure I've seen him shred there
Piyush Sharma I have seen B.B. King sweep picking once, so you never know
Piyush Sharma I didn't even read down to comments before I wrote the same thing!
yes you all are right. i myself like the way they both complement each other but i meant that he should give it a try once, just for fun. I hope they continue making videos so that my children can watch and laugh(at times) hehe.
Keep it exactly as is! love the sound and the look!
Excellent and entirely accurate subtitling. Don’t change the guitar, you’ll grow to love it as it is. Everything is transient, if it inspires you now, walk with it for a while, see what you create together.
24:19 lee is like: Fuck I don't like my own guitar anymore......
But lee's guitar is more beautiful, he has that in advantage...
New Horizon Eeeh Lee's is a pretty sick blues machine... I'd take his.
The guitar sounds sick and looks great. You have a jem there Rob. Keep it. Sometimes looks of an instrument grow on you especially if it sounds and feels amazing.
bozeeke This is a PRS not a ibanez JEM
I meant jem as in a valuable jewel. it's an expression. I know the difference between a PRS and an Ibanez
I know xD i was joking.
Sorry. I missed that. Didn't realize it was just joking
Gem not jem
Rob, I have been with you since the monkey lord days. I plugged in the headphones for this gem and I urge you to keep it. You've worked so hard in your quest for tone and I'm sure I'm not the only guitarist who has watched this and understood that feeling. Looking forward to hearing it in the album! 🤘
Great video! I can definitely hear the difference with chappers guitar sounding phenomenally good! I have an SE2 soap bar, and love it!
Rob, this is one of the most beautiful PRSs I`ve ever seen. The red burst also looks just super cool with your style of play, modern but still on the roots of rock.
smoking solo from captain at the beginning!
Amazing tone and sustain and it rings!!!
O.M.G I want one❤
Oh my God, that tone on Rob's guitar is like the most satisfying and delicious tone I think I have EVER heard. SOOOOOOOO good
13:40, Rob how dare you work as hard as you do so you can afford nice things for you and your family lol

Rob. You're insane. That guitar is absolutely phenomenal! The color is insanely gorgeous and unique. Haven't seen one in 🇨🇦 like it yet!
Hey, “If you can’t love the one you want, love the one you’re with!”...and quite frankly I’d be happy with either one :)
I love Lee’s playstyle. It is so classy and old school, and I love that.
And in the other side is Rob with his awesome hard badass shred.
You guys RULE! Keep it up!
Rob stop procrastinating mate . . . . Even through RUclips its the most fantastic sounds I have heard you make.
Take the friggin thing home and use it!
It will be the 'one that got away'!!
Refinish it and it won't sound the same, Rob. Don't do it.
I'd much rather you buy this and grow fond of it more and more over the years like a girl you're in love with but she's not the prettiest. Of course there's always a prettier one out there but there's only one love and as you spend time you'll find more beauty in it.
Just saying, IF you buy this one - DON'T refinish it.
Exactly what I did when I wanted to buy a strat in a see thru blue finish and ended up buying a black Schecter V because it sounded so much better and also played very nice
If he buys it he can do what he likes - how many times have you seen people have their guitar professionally 'relicked'?
It's only some wood and metal - it's not a one off masterpiece, it's just a high end product, like a Ferrari.
If it was a one off then I'd be a bit bothered about a re-finish. But it's just an expensive thing and as consumable as caviar.
I agree, it would be insane to refinish it and he said himself it was to get sounds on the next record so we won't be able to hear what colour it is will we? Don't mess with it. Try and find
another one that you like the sound of if it bothers you that much.
how could refinishing it possibly affect the sound?
ijobrien3 Every tiny little thing can affect the sound. If it all comes together right, you can get a great sound. Messing with any of it can wreck that careful equilibrium.
Wow, you guys have such a great channel. Thanks for doing these just like two dudes in the store.
Rob's Issue with the finish reminds me of the time I got my first real expensive guitar. I wasn't sure about the colour but it was such a dream to play on and it sounded so great, I got it anyway. Then it grew on me and I think it's the most gorgeous guitar in the universe. It's a Gibson SG with a Metallic Green finish.
JusticeJanitor - That sounds like the business then!
JusticeJanitor got the same issue, I never really like fender Strat style guitars, and I didn't like the heavy metallic orange paint... But For a steal of a deal...i saw this used Charvel on the wall and played it for a laugh... My god it was a dream it my hands, played like nothing else and I HAD to have it... Sure enough that butt ugly orange paint grew on me.
Just googled that. Is it the dark or the light green? The bright ones look stunning!
That’s one damn beauty you got there boy
the blue 24 sounds dead compared to the library one . I don't know if they are all that good .. but that one Rob is digging is worth the money . the colour will grow on you . refinishing could change the magic .
Sovereign Sentience I think the blue PRS sounds dead because of the pickups. Those are HFS pickups which are supposed to offer a modern 90s tone (very tight to cut through the mix).
I personally don't dig those pickups either, because they lack too much bass. I prefer the more common ones like the 58/15s, 57/08s etc. along with the pickups in the Library guitar.
Dam Rob, I finally heard you play YOU. I finally heard you playing you. It sounded great. Finally, in my mind, you've hit it on the head. Keep up the good work. I think I've finally come around the bend on you guys. Keep it up, do not retire yet...
Rob, that is literally the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen. Red isn't my colour either, but that shade really works. It even has gold/grey overtones when viewed from the angle of the camera. You are mental if you try to refinish it. It will never be the same again!
You guys are good,,,I am old like dirt but your wisdom is appreciated the Captain & the Chappers.
Rob sounds AMAZING on the Made in Maryland Desert Cherryburst! Fresh and organic. Who cares what color it is?? Ten albums worth of material in that guitar!
Some people like stylish guitars and it´s ok! other people like the sound, and that is what they looking for an instrument beyond the finish and the look, so, I think there are two markets. But I'm pretty sure both ways to buy a guitar are so right and you can find something amazing.
great outro solo by the captain....well done lee
The McCarty just sings and is very sweet and vocal like (even over RUclips). If it plays any where close to the sound then you got the right guitar. Great color. Wouldn't change the color. I agree with the captain that the guitar suits your style of playing and you seem to be plying with more feeling and soul.
Lee: "Why are you returning your guitar?"
Rob: "For spite"
Austin Dean Seinfeld?
I'm afraid you can't return it out of spite.
So the interesting thing for ME is what is it specifically about the expensive guitar that makes it sound so good? Tone wood ? Pickups? Neck joint construction? Strings? Frets? Fretboard?
Would be interesting to see a video where as many of these things as possible are changed out in some way in order to do a comparison...I know that it's not realistic to expect someone to pull the neck off a £5000 guitar and swap it with one from a £700 one for the sake of a youtube video.
Though I *would* give it a thumbs up if you did!
I feel like new pickups get you most of the way there in terms of sound... then it's down to "feel".
I've watched this a few times now and Rob you'll end up loving the colour. Would like to have seen the shootout with a PRS SE 245 LTD Bernie Marsden model...
That really does sound like a 5000 grand guitar. When the captain was strumming it I could hear chiching-chiching$$$!!
5000 grand = 5 million. But yes, it does sound like it's worth the money!
This video is the only place I can find that says the PRS SE standard line is being discontinued. Can anyone else confirm?
The Captain's playing has improved so much over the years... that's why everyone should practice as much as possible. I'm always impressed.
After watching this video I bought a Korean PRS SE 245 and I have to admit I love it. Even more than my Ibanez JS1200 which I never thought I'd say. Tone, feel and sound quality is absolutely amazing for this price point! 22 fret, tobacco burst finish. I couldn't afford a McCarty yet but it's in the future after playing the se245 :). If you don't want that red burst, I'd gladly volunteer a home for it right here ;). Thank you guys for turning me on to a really great guitar!
dont be stupid rob, stay with the better guitar because sounds amazing!! color can change, sound and tone is hard to change
I actually love that red color. Of course I also love the blue colors and other ones too but I really do love that red burst
Michael Runde whale blue looks nice as fuck. Wish they did that on top of a natural back/neck, like they do with the trampas green finish. Still looks great on black though, especially with those zebra pickups.
Damn dude just keep it. Its absolutely GORGEOUS, and sounds frikken spectacular. You gotta keep it.
When I was looking at millions of Guitars for inspiration on how to finish my kit guitar, I came across the cherry burst PRS, and instantly loved it!! it's one of the most beautiful finishes, second only to a Rickenbacker Fireglo.
I can't help wondering if, in the course of working for Andertons as a demonstrator, whether he's spent more or less than all the money he's earned, in Andertons.
the sad truth is that $700 is expensive for 99.99% of people is expensive
I paid about $530 USD for my Semi Hollow SE 3 years ago I love it
The most I have spent on a guitar is £380 and that was a CV 70’s Jaguar last year. PRS SE £370 and CV Jazzmaster £350.
Lee was killing that intro jam bro ! 🔥🎸
I have owned that same SE 245 for a couple of years... and this year I bought both a 2019 CE 24 and a 2020 core Custom 24. Both my CE and core have 85/15 pickups. I haven't played the $5k version because my core was expensive enough retail $4k lol... but I paid less used. So I can't comment and the $5k core. But I have spent endless hours playing my core against my SE and shockingly sound almost the same. But the 245 is fuller and deeper sounding because of the body size... it's bigger. The 245 is in everyway just as clear and punchy. The pickups are jaw dropping good for Asian pickups... just as good as American pickups in every way surprisingly. If I didn't get my core for only $1770 in mint condition I would have just stuck with the SE... the SE may even sound better... but doesn't have coil tapping. And like everyone else it makes me feel a little cooler owning the $4k axe... it's a male ego thing...like penis truck lol. I actually prefer my CE bolt on over both my core and se... because it is more tele or strat like...has more quack, chime, brightness, attack... except I like the core and se when playing D chords or anything on the high E or G strings where the CE can sound a little too bright... especially with slide or delay. But for everything else it had the most unique sound... not too bassy... kind of piano like beautiful sound. But I do like the dark, warm tones it the 245 and core too depending on the song and style I'm playing. Anyway... I love the core color that Rob didn't like. I actually bought the core color Rob wanted grey, black... but much prefer the other color any day... but couldn't pass up deal I got in mine though not favorite color. Not too be critical of your review because you guys are great... but your review was based off of lead guitar playing only. How can you really judge a guitar by lead only... unless that's all you play? If you play clean and chords... you would find that the SE sounds phenomenal and resonates extremely well...as much as any core I've played... but again maybe that particular wood library model you're playing just sounds exceptional and better than other cores.... not sure. I've heard some cores that sound terrible too depending on pickups mainly. I live there 85/15 in any guitar. I don't care for the McCarty pickups at all for some reason for playing chords... but maybe they sound good on lead...who knows...

"You're a guitarist Rob"
Screw the color! That baby sounds incredible! Keep it!!!
Rob, it looks awesome on you and you make it sing beautifully. Why would you question your ability combined with this beautiful guitar. I am extremely jealous. You rock with this unit. This guitar makes you shine. And again, it is simply gorgeous.
I am french and your poetry was perfectly audible. Big up for those undescribable subtitles, whoever came up with that 😂
The wood library McCarty is gorgeous and sounds amazing. If you can afford it do it Rob.
That red PRS is totally outstanding, it's perfect in every way. This video clearly demonstrate that every guitar has its own sounds, it's own soul even from the same brand and model.
That sound is amazing. Even over RUclips on a tablet the tone and depth on that beauty is amazing. After watching this I'm off to sell my SE Custom and get a better quality axe. Great video.
No comparison. One is fantastic but one is simply put, a perfect example of a guitar.
Two guitarists playing the exact same guitar are going to sound different. It's the talent, not the tools. You two make any guitar sound great!
That color looks great, sounds delicious! !! Dont give it up!!
There’s something definitely magical about the 594 platform. I’ve played some great PRS guitars and I’ve drooled over a good deal of them, but the 594, whatever it is about them, seems to have a much greater rate of guitars having incredible tone. I’m getting my 594 AP in whale blue in few months and I’m stoked.
When a guitar inspires you, buy it and sell something else. Period.
Was the Wampler Psychosomatic Drive in the signal chain during the video?
Seriously though.. that red Prs is on another level.
Rob, I was impressed with your french, good job!
I rly just needed this video it was such a feel good
Bokk Choiiiii!
Wow seriously? Rob doesn't like the finish? I don't even like red and i think it looks amazing.
love the £5000 the look is great and it has something the others don't, it just sounds massive
According to the PRS site, wood library is about allowing a dealer to order a stock guitar but with the standard wood swapped out for another in one or more areas of the guitar e.g. give me a 594 but use maple for the neck. It doesn't seem to be about getting better-quality timber, so maybe the reason that 594 sounds the way it does is that it isn't built entirely from the usual woods.
Rob I realize this video has been out awhile and you probably made your choice. I picked up my tele for the first time I had the exact same problem. Hated the finish loved the tones. Haven't changed anything on it but the pickguard since I bought it. Still love it today. Nothing seems to come close. Guitar picks the owner. Lol
You dropped it to E flat, on a 24.5 inch scale, with the original 9 gauge strings that it came with! Haha of course it doesn't sound up to par, because you didn't give it a chance to properly shine! It really sounds close to the American SC 245 equivalent IMO! I might also be slightly biased because I own this SE 245.. Haha 😉

I’m not one for the red as well but that is one of the most beautiful reds I’ve seen. Keep it mate!!
Rob that finish is gorgeous! I’m also one of those people that only likes natural or dark wood color a little bit of yellow, a little bit of red, old BURST colors. Not a fan of blue on a guitar. Just doesn’t seem natural. But that’s just me… :)
I've been wanting a PRS for a loooong time, I prefer a custom 24 , but if I'm going to spend upwards of 4000 dollars, it better be the color I like and play and sound the way I like. Even then, you can't really justify the price difference. 5000 dollars is extremely high for any guitar, unless it's some collectible rare investment. I will end up spending that much on a guitar, PRS, or Suhr, or a Majesty ..but it has to be more than a great playing guitar to me..it has to become a part of my musical character. Look , feel, sound, etc.
If you are going to spend that kind of money, buy the 513 instead.
orlock20 I don't really like the pup configuration on the 513..I'm more of a blues , blues rock, and some country rock..player..I'll check them out though..I like that double cutaway body style though, I like the McCarty style that Rob is playing..594 is it..There easy to find in that charcoal black top. I'd rather have a green figured top..I like the HH with the covers..just my preference..the 515 you can get for around 3000.00 which is still alot of money for a guitar. I like the 594 better.
The full fat PRS sounds killer, but I just can't get past that finish. Not very keen on any of those sort of bursts that PRS have done with the different colour round the edge.
