Between 1989 and 1996 I've bought 7 guitars. In 1997 I've built my dream guitar. Haven't bought another one since then! (Well, apart from a Hannah Montana Secret Star für decoration purposes...)
I see people say that a lot but I mean, are dots or trapazoids really that much better? They're so boring, birds are part of everyday life. and the symbolic relationship between birds and a soaring guitar solo Is actually rather beautiful
Can't imagine just talking to a guitar company like that and just telling them every feature you want and not having to care about the price and them not restricting you at all.
Check out Keisel. It’s not cheap, but it is a company that will give you a custom guitar that stands up/with custom PRS or Gibson custom guitars....at a reasonable price.
@@francischang true but it’s awesome that he has a similar enthusiasm with a regular person as Tyler as he does when talking to celebs like Santana and Mayer. I swear I’ve seen a video where it’s a procedure that Paul does inspect every private stock himself. All in all this is why I like prs.
@@KingofPho75 "Regular person as Tyler" haha - Tyler's not a regular person! He's friends with Paul (even put on a guitar camp with PRS!) and is a guitar RUclipsr with 1.3million subs. He is hardly a regular person for Paul. Hey man, I hope one day to have my own Private Stock, but I'm not holding out hope that PRS himself is going to take my order. (Paul if you're reading, I will put in an order for a Private Stock tomorrow I get the same hands on treatment!)
I'm generaly very conservative with guitars, and and I don t like modern guitars. But I have to admit this one is absolutely gorgeous. The top looks awesome, but the fretboard is just incredible. Enjoy it
PRS are considered modern? They're from the 80's... I mean, the design is still awesome but... Frankly I think this guitar is over the top. Lots of these private stock guitars are just chockful of gratuitous ornamentation - flamed necks with burst job, rainbow-coloured fretboards, uber flame on the top that gets enhanced with a coat of dark hand-rubbed dye... All for the low low price of 4 or 5 American pro-grade instruments.
If you consider the very first designs of solid body electrics (Broadcaster/Telecaster 1950, Les Paul 1952, Stratocaster 1954) they ARE pretty modern...
@@IrLosin woods like Brazilian Rosewood naturally have a section of the board that is that blonde colour. It’s often seen in beautiful old furniture, boxes etc.
$6000? Think much higher. That guitar's is well north of $15,000 street price. The average Private Stock models start at 12 grand and just rocket up from there in a hurry.
That's why you'll never get the tone you seek. You think it's just another thousand dollars away instead of wringing every ounce of sound out of what you've got with your bare hands. All of that money means nothing if you don't know why you spent it.
The only guitar that has ever brought tears to my eyes. Work of art - the bird inlays alone... and the ebony fretboard and curly maple - gorgeous. You deserve it because you can really play. Inspiring.
Tyler’s videos don’t teach you how to play guitar, they teach you TO play guitar. His videos focus on the pure sense of wonder inherent in being a guitar player.
Its inspiring to watch someone like Paul who still takes such a personal approach to his business despite PRS being such a big brand these days. A PRS guitar makes you feel like you belongs to something special, very few products nowadays have that appeal and Paul Reid Smith is the reason why it is so.
@@chefboyard1700 tripled? I doubt it. As I stated, that vid likely shows most of what he currently has. Going by what you said...that would mean that if he had 30 guitars in the last vid, you think he has 90 by now... And that he gained 60 guitars in a few years when he hadn't even accrued that many over his entire lifetime. That's past illogical into dumb. Because it's very likely he had at least 25 or 30 guitars in that last vid. And I'd put money on the fact that he doesn't have anywhere close to 90 guitars at this point. You might want to rethink that "tripled..." thing. He **might** be close to doubling what he had but triple? Nah.
My lovely hubby enjoys waking me up w/coffee & music clips (he works nights, home between 5-9am), and whilst he doesn't play guitar, he adores great pieces. He also recognises the significant impact learning/playing has made on my life, when 11 yrs old, Xmas gifted my 1st "dime store" starter, folk guitar. When I was 12 yrs old, went away to live at school, music, my penny guitar being my only solace. But, I also had my 1st ever lesson, taught my 1st 3 chords & 1st ever song..."Tom Dooley". The next day, I self taught myself "Country Roads" By John Denver, never took another class, and continued to self teach, learned his "greatest hits" playbook to please/surprise my mum on my next visit home...Annie's song her fave. A cheap 2nd hand no brand guitar allowed me to continue playing, often mostly by ear, although when 8yrs old, I could read sheet music from choir, music class. Fast forward, I moved to live in another school, and a lovely staff gal sold me her old, but my 1st cherished 12 string, similar to famous Hummingbird. Ive had Yamaha, Gibson, other 6 strings, but my heart was forever taken when a dear friend (sadly passed) bought me a Martin 12 string. I was never the same, the joy that it brought me, overcoming severe abuse, catastrophic PTSD, through so many years of pain, heartbreak, it was my only soul comfort. It was stolen in 1996. As life would take me through many more traumatic years, event and circumstances, I finally met, married a lovely british lad, moved to the UK. Knowing my pain, still grieving the loss of my Martin 12, he attempted to surprise me with a lovely, beautiful Seagull 12 string. And whilst I cherish it, the gesture, I even bought Martin silk and steel strings for it, tried desperately to "Feel it, to mold myself to it, even last week I had it out, as it has remained in its case for 13 years now, (moved to UK spring of 2008, gifted guitar that summer), But I just cannot warm to it, it's difficult to hold, touch or hear, it just doesn't feel " Right", you know what I mean? I've not held/played a guitar that has ever felt the same, it's a combination of things that made it feel and fit me, my hands, etc. I cherished being able to play a friend's Martin before I moved to the UK, and cherish that memory always:) So, whilst disability, PTSD, etc still haunt me, along with loss, grief and rage at a theft never caught/punished, every once in a while the hubby finds, very randomly, a particularly special and touching music video to wake/surprise me with, and this morning, YOURS was one of them:) It was one of the most touching and heart warming clips to watch, to see that utter perfect joy of having a dream guitar in your arms...THATS such an exquisite extraordinary moment, and as such, I've saved it AND subscribed to your channel. THANK YOU for sharing and bringing a flash of joy into others lives, and hopefully knowing my own story will allow you to cradle, cherish and appreciate your glorious dream guitar just a bit more:) warmest of karma hugs, best regards, LadyBudd:) XXX
There’s only so many guitar tones, solos, and overall sound that made me feel so hyped up. The distorted section you played, absolutely beautiful. Amazing guitar man absolutely gorgeous
Imagine sitting with PRS himself in the wood chamber discussing custom details for YOUR OWN CUSTOM guitar which will be built by master luthiers where PRS himself writes down all those details and then acts like a cool Dad, Tyler I think it doesn't get any better than this, this is peak.
This is indeed a very special moment - not only with PRS but with any luthier wo would sit down with you and work out the specs for a custom instrument, lets you browse his stock of fine wood. And the result is very well worth the price.
People only dream of this sort of opportunity. The good people at PRS seem so cool and actually passionate about making quality instruments. Congratulations on your new baby.
I've been grinning from ear to ear just watching this. Simply amazing to see and pick out your own tone wood, let alone the fact it's PRS! Thanks for sharing this, really cool you bought us on what is basically a big moment for you
I cannot begin to imagine how awesome it was to spec out and have that beautiful guitar built by the folks at Paul Reed Smith. I am truly happy (yet envious) for you. All of your hours of practice, learning your craft and building this highly successful youtube channel has paid off. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I can’t believe how far Tyler has gotten, I still remember watching his early guitar tutorials before then, and now he’s got a custom made guitar made by PRS themselves. Congratulations are in order for him.
Man, I'm just watching this and I'm feel so happy for you. I can feel that amazing moment in where you feel like a 10 year old child awaiting for his most desired toy. Not to mention how lucky you are for having Paul doing this for you, so many in the world would crave for some of those dream instruments. Someday, if God helps me, I will go visit Paul's factory and if I can I will give him a hug, and say thanks for all the beauty and art he puts on every piece they make. Btw I'm a proud owner of a 513 and a Custom 24, and I love them to death! Cheers!
It's so beautiful! He totally deserves this pretty beast. How bout calling it Jupiter cuz it's majestic? Plus purple was reserved for gods back in the day.
Wow congratulations it’s almost like a father son relationship you have with Paul it’s nice to see a company owner who actually appreciates what someone has done for there company.
That piece of striated moonlight ebony NEXT TO the piece you chose was the most beautiful piece of wood I’ve ever seen. I’m sad I’ll never own that piece of wood on a guitar or even find a piece like that ever.
Beautiful guitar, sound, and playing Tyler. I was blessed to have met Paul in around 1985 at West LA Music store. He had just started out and had put up a display of his guitars. They were incredible back then! And he was the nicest, coolest guy you ever want to meet with that kind of talent. I own a PRS Acoustic. Plays so easy. Waiting on a nice royalty check to be able to make a visit to the Private Stock room for my dream guitar! Great work Paul!
I was looking at a PRS a couple of days ago, the old lady came in and said "Don't even think it!" Me, *clicks submit order* "You have my word, I didn't think at all."
This process looks so fun and beautiful I wish I can get to the point where I feel deserving of purchasing such a nice guitar in my life congratulations Tyler 🎉🎇
I am born and raised and still live in Maryland. Welcome to the "Bay Bridge" in the rain. It is scary when it's dry. Congratulations on the "PRS". Beautiful guitar.
@@espionage6692 Really?... Wow, actually never heard it, I thought this guy had written something that is not original, and that isn't funny, and was just begging for likes
@@Gabriel-oq4id 😅Nah, if I knew it was a meme never would I have commented this Not gonna lie, I must live under a rock not to have seen this meme before
As a Marylander, seeing you shoot a video while driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in a downpour gave me heart palpitations. That bridge is terrifying in the best of conditions. Also, it feels like it's a million miles long.
It's not that bad lol. I mean, it is widely considered the scariest bridge in the country but I don't mind it. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is what freaks me out. Two lanes, two way traffic in an underwater tunnel.
I'll never forget seeing a Paul Reed Smith Blue double cutaway hanging in a pawn shop for $125. I didn't know a thing about the guitar company at the time but it's beauty and iconic birds on the fretboard we're burned into my memory. I learned what it was later and realized I passed a diamond and didn't know it. I have an idea that it had some problem, maybe electrical that diminished its price so ridiculously low. For what that guitar was versus its price, almost any repair would have been worth it. I just simply didn't know what it was at the time. Otherwise, it would have been mine.
No amount of electrical problems could drop the value of well done woodwork. The things that would drop the value would be butchered body, warped or twisted neck, and that’s about it. You can rebuild the whole of the electronics for under a grand but the woodwork is the biggie. That’s where the time gets spent.
I was really hoping it would be purple after the teaser discussion with Paul and I’m ecstatic it was because that’s exactly how I would build mine and it’s a joy to see it in the flesh - absolutely amazing
@@JC-11111 - I’ve been playing guitar for about 25 years. I don’t see the point of collect guitars just to say you have them. I’ve sold a few guitars that I wasn’t using.
@@Burnt_Gerbil If you want to see REAL complete nonsense....go over to The Tone King. He buys a guitar a week, plays it on 2-3 videos, then it goes in it's case likely never to be played again. Makes ZERO sense unless you're collecting vintage instruments for investment purposes. Dude claims he has more guitars than Joe Bonamassa! Such a waste of beautiful instruments. And....he buys them just to say he has them because anytime someone in the chat says they bought something new he says...."Yeah, I have the matching set" or "I actually have 4 of those". I used to watch him many years ago, now the channel is nothing more than him regurgitating the same 5-7 licks and saying "Look at what I bought"
@@brutus6328 - Yeah, that’s pretty nuts. I don’t understand it. Not to mention his wall of amps and only playing a few. It’s like clothing, if you’re not using it let someone else have it. This may seem crazy to most guitar players but I only have one amplifier (Orange OR15) and one Orange 4x12 cabinet. Most people have several. Crazy right!? I could buy more but I don’t see the point. How much stuff do you really need. Seriously.
@@brutus6328 and sadly, "Tone King" has no tone and isn't really an individual who's known for being a decent guitarist. He's more of a "look what I got" type of individual and sadly, I don't learn anything from his videos... Ugh. Long story short, Tone King is not inspiring to me, too say the least. :-( Best! ✌🏼

The fact that Paul sits down and talks to the buyer is a stand out alone.

He asks, and then he tells, and then you listen. Paul knows best.

I can’t believe how far Tyler has gotten, I still remember watching his early guitar tutorials before then, and now he’s got a custom made guitar made by PRS themselves. Congratulations are in order for him.
Man, I'm just watching this and I'm feel so happy for you. I can feel that amazing moment in where you feel like a 10 year old child awaiting for his most desired toy. Not to mention how lucky you are for having Paul doing this for you, so many in the world would crave for some of those dream instruments. Someday, if God helps me, I will go visit Paul's factory and if I can I will give him a hug, and say thanks for all the beauty and art he puts on every piece they make. Btw I'm a proud owner of a 513 and a Custom 24, and I love them to death! Cheers!
That paint job is the pinnacle of what i could ever want on a guitar’s face. Breathtaking and romantic
It's so beautiful! He totally deserves this pretty beast. How bout calling it Jupiter cuz it's majestic? Plus purple was reserved for gods back in the day.
Danish Pete sneaking into Tyler’s house to play that purple prs.
That’s what I was thinking 😂
Congratulations Tyler! So we’ll deserved. Been watching your videos for years. Always fun and inspiring. 👍👍🎸🎸
From one guitar TO your name to a guitar with your name ON IT. Well done buddy.
Well done
Tyler: "I'm going to play the shit out of this."
Everyone else: "Vids or it didn't happen"
I’m not a huge PRS kind of guy, but MY GOD 😩😫 this is absolutely beautiful bro, congratulations!
Wow congratulations it’s almost like a father son relationship you have with Paul it’s nice to see a company owner who actually appreciates what someone has done for there company.
I'm personally not a huge fan of the purple pattern but holy shit this is the most beautiful guitar neck I've ever seen
That fretboard is supercool. Looks like the birds are flying across the horizon
That piece of striated moonlight ebony NEXT TO the piece you chose was the most beautiful piece of wood I’ve ever seen.
I’m sad I’ll never own that piece of wood on a guitar or even find a piece like that ever.
CONGRATULATIONS, Tyler. It is gorgeous, unique, and in very good hands.
There’s a large puddle of drool forming in my break room, can neither confirm nor deny that it was me
That demo solo was freaking sweet. That dirty ass note in the middle before the fast scale was tasteful AF
That is an absolutely GORGEOUS axe, Tyler! Love your wood and color choices, so unique and distinctive. Most importantly, it sounds great! Congrats!
Beautiful guitar, sound, and playing Tyler. I was blessed to have met Paul in around 1985 at West LA Music store. He had just started out and had put up a display of his guitars. They were incredible back then! And he was the nicest, coolest guy you ever want to meet with that kind of talent. I own a PRS Acoustic. Plays so easy. Waiting on a nice royalty check to be able to make a visit to the Private Stock room for my dream guitar! Great work Paul!
Happy for ya Tyler! You’ve really done a lot for the musicians community. So you really deserve it man... Such a sick guitar 🤙
Man, that is truly a work of art, even before hearing it. That fretboard can't be beat. Good job.
That guitar instrumental part is freaking amazing!
That finish is so gorgeous. It looks like it moves. Incredible
I’ve come full circle with you Tyler. From the first PRS new guitar day to this! Congrats! Gorgeous guitar. And oh my what a beautiful case!
The way the bird looks like it's flying is so sick. Congrats!!
His dream guitar is awfully close to like 5 of his others.
Hope he finally got satisfaction.
More like all his PRS guitars lmao. 🤣
I was confused tbh, for the most part this Private Stock looks a lot like a regular PRS. Most of the Private Stocks got wicked unique colours.
DelScully i guess that is his ideal colour?
Just a les paul...
That guitar is beautiful, I love how it turned out. That Les Paul body with the purple and charcoal finish is stunning.
I was looking at a PRS a couple of days ago, the old lady came in and said "Don't even think it!" Me, *clicks submit order* "You have my word, I didn't think at all."
Lol
Jeez that’s a beautiful piece in every sense. Props to PRS for being such a massive Chad and congrats Tyler.
This process looks so fun and beautiful I wish I can get to the point where I feel deserving of purchasing such a nice guitar in my life congratulations Tyler 🎉🎇
So wonderful that this is a personal gift from Paul to you - must feel just amazing!
Even the case looks magnificent. The guitar is way better than what I imagined holy shit
No kidding. It's a masterpiece.
congrats. it's a beauty. whatever piece you're playing at the 5:00 mark gave me chills. absolutely beautiful.
Anyone know the song ?
@@liamgoosen7263 it will be original
anyone know what that typa tone is called?
Bro it really does give me chills too sounded so fkn good I want him to do a lesson on what he played at 5:00 😂
how would you get a tone like that thoooo-
We’re witnessing history for this channel right now. This is crazy to me.
It’s history until he makes like 10 more videos like this with even more beautiful and expensive guitars lol
I am born and raised and still live in Maryland. Welcome to the "Bay Bridge" in the rain. It is scary when it's dry. Congratulations on the "PRS". Beautiful guitar.
Plot twist.. Tyler gets his dream guitar and totally looses interest in playing.. takes up rc airplanes as a new hobbie!
hahaha x)))
Lol… as I just literally just finished watching a RC AIRPLANE video before watching this…
Here from your live Instagram. Just couldn't wait, I had an alarm set for This
Everyone here:We will watch your dream guitar with great interest.
Hhmmm yes, and?
@@necrom4454 it's a well known meme
@@espionage6692 Really?... Wow, actually never heard it, I thought this guy had written something that is not original, and that isn't funny, and was just begging for likes
Me: **Makes a meme**
@@necrom4454 : And I took that personally.
@@Gabriel-oq4id 😅Nah, if I knew it was a meme never would I have commented this
Not gonna lie, I must live under a rock not to have seen this meme before
PRS.....after 50+ years of playing Gibson's & Fenders and just picking up my first PRS S2, it's now my new favorite........hands down.....
9:53 "now I got this one...WITH MY NAME!" Congrats Tyler, you deserve it. Thanks for all that you do for us.
As a Marylander, seeing you shoot a video while driving over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in a downpour gave me heart palpitations. That bridge is terrifying in the best of conditions. Also, it feels like it's a million miles long.
It's not that bad lol. I mean, it is widely considered the scariest bridge in the country but I don't mind it. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is what freaks me out. Two lanes, two way traffic in an underwater tunnel.
@@EpiphoneShredzzzzz Imagine driving over that bridge having a fear of open water and heights. 😨
@@TheRedOctoberProject 😮😨
Tyler - "I'm ready to show you my guitar" also Tyler - "BOOM, Ads!"
Welcome to the world of monetization.
Daddy's got bills, baby
Paul Miles creates beautiful magic in the PS department!!!! Another awesome masterpiece!!
Damn he really did intimidate us in the live 🔥🔥🔥
What did he do?
Paul seems like such a cool guy. That guitar is unbelievable.
I'll never forget seeing a Paul Reed Smith Blue double cutaway hanging in a pawn shop for $125. I didn't know a thing about the guitar company at the time but it's beauty and iconic birds on the fretboard we're burned into my memory.
I learned what it was later and realized I passed a diamond and didn't know it.
I have an idea that it had some problem, maybe electrical that diminished its price so ridiculously low.
For what that guitar was versus its price, almost any repair would have been worth it. I just simply didn't know what it was at the time. Otherwise, it would have been mine.
No amount of electrical problems could drop the value of well done woodwork. The things that would drop the value would be butchered body, warped or twisted neck, and that’s about it. You can rebuild the whole of the electronics for under a grand but the woodwork is the biggie. That’s where the time gets spent.
I was really hoping it would be purple after the teaser discussion with Paul and I’m ecstatic it was because that’s exactly how I would build mine and it’s a joy to see it in the flesh - absolutely amazing
Tyler: This guitar is perfect. I don’t need any more. 😛
Also Tyler: **three months later** No, wait. THIS guitar is perfect. 😲
You must not own any or play guitar
@@JC-11111 - I’ve been playing guitar for about 25 years. I don’t see the point of collect guitars just to say you have them. I’ve sold a few guitars that I wasn’t using.
@@Burnt_Gerbil If you want to see REAL complete nonsense....go over to The Tone King. He buys a guitar a week, plays it on 2-3 videos, then it goes in it's case likely never to be played again. Makes ZERO sense unless you're collecting vintage instruments for investment purposes. Dude claims he has more guitars than Joe Bonamassa! Such a waste of beautiful instruments. And....he buys them just to say he has them because anytime someone in the chat says they bought something new he says...."Yeah, I have the matching set" or "I actually have 4 of those". I used to watch him many years ago, now the channel is nothing more than him regurgitating the same 5-7 licks and saying "Look at what I bought"
@@brutus6328 - Yeah, that’s pretty nuts. I don’t understand it. Not to mention his wall of amps and only playing a few. It’s like clothing, if you’re not using it let someone else have it. This may seem crazy to most guitar players but I only have one amplifier (Orange OR15) and one Orange 4x12 cabinet. Most people have several. Crazy right!? I could buy more but I don’t see the point. How much stuff do you really need. Seriously.
@@brutus6328 and sadly, "Tone King" has no tone and isn't really an individual who's known for being a decent guitarist.
He's more of a "look what I got" type of individual and sadly, I don't learn anything from his videos... Ugh.
Long story short, Tone King is not inspiring to me, too say the least. :-(
Best! ✌🏼
I feel like im just in a giant PRS commercial.where Tyler occasionally tells me im playing these licks completely wrong 🤣
Tyler “Have you ever done...”
Paul “OF COURSE WE HAVE!”
I work for a Cracker Barrel in Stevensville Michigan. Learn to love this guitar for what it is...build on the flaws...rock in peace,,,
