Beautiful PRS. And that thing he said about affordability is much appreciated. So many signature guitars are so well appointed and high end, only rock stars can afford them.
I got to demo it at a guitar store on the pedal display and it is an extremely versatile guitar. So impressed by how much went into giving the consumers a great product!
I had really seriously looked at buying this guitar a couple of years ago but got lost in the sea of guitar choices we all have now. The top is growing on me but the natural look of the back, sides, and headstock are classic and gorgeous. I want to see the wood. Zach seems like a cool and humble dude and the fact that these sell really well should tell us all something. Now, not always, but a lot of the time if people are buying this guitar, Zach and PRS must be doing something right. Great job on the video! Sweetwater is a very cool place. Been there and loved it!
@@grouchosays that's why it's an SE model. if Shinedown were to explode in popularity tomorrow, there would be Core version in his hands inside a week. he might be a great musician, but he's a mid-tier "rock star", he get's a mid-tier signature model ONLY. for reference. Mark Tremonti has an SE signature series AND a Core model signature series. because he spent time in the top-tier of rock stars. granted that was 20 years ago, and you've likely never heard of him either. you're gonna have to take it on trust he has a "bigger" name.
@@grouchosays oh. i'm not a young player, by any means. unless 50 counts as young. puts my Tremonti statement in perspctive, you probably HAVEN'T heard of him.
Owned mine for almost 3 years now, and she keeps getting better and better. My #1. Opposite of Zach, I went ahead and changed the tuners, nut, toggle, input jack, pots and caps, and soon I'll have my #7 pickups from a pre lawsuit Singlecut installed. Didn't have to do all that, but wanted to make it my own and in short, I don't see myself parting ways with it. Every time I take it out to play, it just feels like me, like I'm home.
I got one of these a couple of years ago. Had a bad back and my Les Paul was killing me. Found this guitar, like many others, I didn't know who Zach Myers was but loved the guitar. It's similar to a Les Paul only the knobs are arranged so it's easier to reach the volume knobs while playing than on the Gibson. Mine weighs in at 6.5 lbs which is one of the lighter ones. They are often in the low 7.x lbs. A really nice guitar, only thing I changed so far is the knobs for reflector knobs and put plain brass studs and a better nut on it. So mostly aesthetic changes.
"What you bought was what I play" Having your own signature guitar is good enough, but actually using them for the live shows is such a king move. Jim Adkins from Jimmy Eat World does this too ever since his signature model from Fender came out.
I had mine for 3 years, I like it more every day. I love the thicker neck and the "fender like" tone when desired. The look is exceptional! I let go of my three Les Pauls when I got this baby, never missed those.
I just ordered one of these today, wow it sounds so very clear and nice, im thinking replacing pickups is a mind set I am going to get past with this guitar, and to me those sound a lot like 57 classics, except they are not chirpy as those can be, I cant wait to get it, thanks for the review,
This might sound crazy, but I traded in a Gibson Les Paul for this one. The bridge pickup on this sings unlike any humbucker I've heard. Korean made too. It's funny listening to him talk about the brass saddles because that's actually the one thing I'd change lol. They vibrate a little too much and produce too much twang.
Been looking at this guitar ever since it was released. Finally got it last week in Myers Blue. Playability is great, especially with the satin neck. Sounds awesome. Love the feedback you can get from the semi hollow body and the neck pickup is total Eric Clapton Woman Tone.
I had a lot of issues with mine. The neck pickup wouldn’t stay level and it wouldn’t stay in tune. I had to replace the pickup springs with stronger ones and have the nut replaced. The main appeal of a PRS SE is that they claim to setup the guitars before they send them out, but I beg to differ. I want emphasize I received the guitar through a local business who just handed me the box unopened from PRS. Sweetwater, has never sent me a guitar that is unplayable.
I have one in a limited run sunburst finish. Overall, a nice guitar, but really doesn't like to stay in tune. If you replace the nut, tuners and maybe pickups, would be very nice.
Would be really cool if they came out with a few more colors for this model. I would rewire it to be single volume and tone and mini toggles for each pickup
Did he say he owns a couple 59 Les Pauls? I wonder if he meant custom shop reissues? I know Shinedown had a few hits but I wouldn't think he did that well. Or maybe he wrote the hits what do I know.
I'd imagine the nut is filed down to fit the strings. I think when he means it's not modified, he means he plays it with the SE nut, he doesn't swap it for a core nut or a different brand/material.
Tbone Shredder His band is well known in the industry for using a lot of backing tracks live. In other words, a lot of what you hear coming from the stage is not being played live. You may as well stay home and crank your hone stereo.
Hello! As of now, the PRS SE Zach Myers Signature guitars are only available as right handed models.

Talking about how a coloured knobs would take you away from the beautiful top. Okay, then how about that ugly zebra pick ups? Amber color is still woody clor and would match the trampas green top. But damn that cream and black zebra pickups just look so damn ugly, and plasticy, and cheap, etc. Call it homage to the vintage or not, it doesn't look good no matter what guitar it's in.
I have no idea who this guy is but I know one thing for sure PRS will give a signature model to anyone with basic guitar talent. By the way the color is very bad.
@@juanvaldez5422 You couldn't pay me to play a PRS on stage as I have always thought they look like very bad cheap Strat copies from the early 80's. Yes I'd play one in the studio as they play nice but look crap.
The fact that he does not want his signature guitar to be expensive really wins my approval.
Just got mine yesterday it’s amazing
He’s probably made so much more money by keeping it cheap

His explanation of the aesthetic of the instrument is really well presented. Maybe he should be a guitar designer?
isshinryukid he said somewhere I think that he has been a guitar tech back in the days?
Nikoo033
It's in a PRS video where he went to the factory to see the SE line setup room.
@@Nikoo033 yup for three doors down
i dont know who the hell zach myers is but im in love with this guitar. It reminds me of a modern day gibson howard roberts fusion
Guitarist for Shinedown. Its an awesome guitar.
Never heard of him.

@@fistovuzi Doesn’t really matter to me. I’m 73 and haven’t kept up with the younger players. Old geezer. But I still play a little.

Casually drops in while talking about the neck ‘I have a couple of 59 Les Paul’s’ 😀
Ya , must be nice eh. An easy 300k right there.
He's a collector of guitars and shoes. He's got pairs of air jordans that are worth more than my entire guitar collection and car combined 😂😂

Great guitar for the money, did not know who Zach Myers was till I bought this guitar, liked the look, colour sound and quality.

This is the most beautiful and affordable PRS SE Artist series.
I dont know Shinedown, but this guy is such a nice dude...this could be my PRS

I’m ordering this super soon. Looks sooo good and the price is the best part. Can’t wait
Did you get yours? I got mine a few days ago and haven't played anything else this week.
This might sound crazy, but I traded in a Gibson Les Paul for this one. The bridge pickup on this sings unlike any humbucker I've heard. Korean made too. It's funny listening to him talk about the brass saddles because that's actually the one thing I'd change lol. They vibrate a little too much and produce too much twang.
Perfect walk through, mine is my #1, great in every way
I really like this guitar. I actually looked at it before I bought something different, but if I had seen this video I might have bought this one.
Brass saddles, satin finished neck. This guy has good taste. Gotta check him out
Where them new colors at?? I need a backup ZM! :)
killer guitar for the money
The more I see this guitar, the more I like it.
This guitar is gorgeous
I need one of these! Zach is my hero and I've been looking for a new electric!

John Hiatt - Perfectly Good Guitar
Have this... love it!
Is there a feedback problem with it?
never heard of this guy but kool guitar!
make a hollowbody version!👍🏻
Beautiful Guitar! Could be my next purchase!
I don't think the knob thingy was diva-ish at all...his explanation made sense and gave a new perspective on the entire look of the guitar
Love mine. I need another one in blue or satin black.
I have one in a limited run sunburst finish. Overall, a nice guitar, but really doesn't like to stay in tune. If you replace the nut, tuners and maybe pickups, would be very nice.
Would be really cool if they came out with a few more colors for this model. I would rewire it to be single volume and tone and mini toggles for each pickup
QUESTION??? i just bough this exact guitar. like it. the upper knobs are volume and the lower nobs are for tone? right ? thanks
All good I'm getting one.
Anyone else drool when they see this guitar,lol. Seriously though, I need to get one of these.
KWANSU DUDE I just recently got one, it’s amazing!
You can find these under $600.00 brand new. You cant beat that anywhere for quality. I have the SE 24 08 and getting a core 10 top next.
No you don’t, stop lying
Is he still in Nickelback?
Any idea when the 2020 models will be announced? I’m extremely interested to know what the new color choices will be.
Just anounced it essentially the new s2 line just all made in indonesia
A pretty aquamarine blue!
I want one!
Did he say he owns a couple 59 Les Pauls? I wonder if he meant custom shop reissues? I know Shinedown had a few hits but I wouldn't think he did that well. Or maybe he wrote the hits what do I know.
Have you seen his guitar collection or his shoe collection?
How is he playing 11s on the stock nut. It would most certainly have to be modified for that no ?
Pretty sure his is setup for him
I'd imagine the nut is filed down to fit the strings. I think when he means it's not modified, he means he plays it with the SE nut, he doesn't swap it for a core nut or a different brand/material.
He is probably the most underrated guitar player

Own one, Love it. Vid is spot on...BUT I am changing the Pups in mine
I hope there a vintage tobacco sunburst color. Green is not just for everybody
Anyone know what that amp is?
I think it's a Bogner Atma 1x12" combo. Pretty penny, those.
yeah, i want one of these
Does it come in left-handed?

Then throw some cheap chrome covers on it and shut up lol
The reason that colour has never been used is because it looks like bile. With clear knobs..
Contact the "sales engineer." Oh, God.
blablablabla.....
so much talking such little playing
His playing is extremely average, why does he have a signature guitar?
This guy does for guitar players what Nickel Back did for singers.
Jealousy is a bitch 😂
Average? You obviously don’t listen to shinedown
Ick. Not the guitar. The social media whiz....sad...
What?
I have no idea who this guy is but I know one thing for sure PRS will give a signature model to anyone with basic guitar talent. By the way the color is very bad.
It's the best part
You have poor taste, you should get out more. It will make you feel better.
@@juanvaldez5422 Strangely I would claim the exact opposite.
@@Neil-Aspinall I figured you would. Its ok, you have the right to be wrong. Lol
