Guitar World presents an exclusive tour of the PRS Guitars factory in Stevensville, Maryland. For more videos, gear reviews or guitar lessons visit guitarworld.com.
i managed to play a left handed prs at a music show in london not so long ago, and im not going to lie, it was one of the best experiences of my life, you can really feel all of the work that goes into the guitars.
PRS Guitars are the finest made guitars in the world. I love em'. I own just about every custom out there and PRS seems to have that tone and versatility that I need. Beautiful guitars too.
Im getting an Custom 24 SE for my birthday, i absolutly love PRS, i was taught on my cousins SE which was conveted into a CE so it was worth well over a grand, and my many my faviorite bands use it
I had a beautiful Santana III Whale Blue Bird-in-lays Ten Top 24 frett and a PRS Custom 22" Amber Yellow. Bird-in Lays Ten Top. They are very awesome sounding guitars using Mesa Boogie amp.
yes.. obviously everyone has their favorites.. and all manufactures have defective guitars. This video just goes to show how hard PRS trys to keep high quality control and inspection throughout the whole process of making a guitar. Pretty impressive and explains the price tag on most models. You can pull sick licks out of any of the three, but the sound some are looking for only come from 1.. for me, its PRS. Proud owner of two
I have a SE and i can still feel a great deal of quality in the guitar and the finish on the top is just like they do the american ones only their not carved the top still shows like its a prs this is the best guitar manafacturer ever.
@YongYDG yes their great I just got one used and they are totally worth it the only flaw I noticed in cosmetics on the se was the fact that around the neck area where it connects to the body its alot splochy. However mine is a sold black on the back of the guitar so they spray paint, where as the clear ones are hand painted so you wouldnt see this probably on the ones with a transparent finish.
@edwsshaw1 it will say se on it and generally the american ones have a carved top where as most se's dont. Se stands for starter edition so thats how youll know.
beautiful guitars, just one question.im i able to buy a custom 24 wtith paua inlays instead of the normal ones?or do i have to buy the whole artist package?
this prs tour and tour guide are much better than the other one. i hated the other tour b/c the dude was a car salesman, not a guitar player. this one, thumbs up.
so does btbam and opeth, but al di meola does too, and carlos santana. PRS is a good guitar because of how diverse the use of it is. you can use it for pretty much any style. even country dude.
I own a Randy Rhoads Les Paul custom and a PRS Custom 24 I enjoy playing both guitars equally and trust me they weren't 500 $ guitars either between the two I own about 13gs in guitar.Both have unique characteristics that you can exploit for different tones and sounds, in the end it all comes down to personal preference. Also the fancy dragon inlays (dragoon series) are meant to be show pieces not played guitars
@xguitarist123x orianthi is like my 2nd favortie guitarist and a huge inspiration. My favorite is nickelback i guess i am drawn to people with prs's. And you can say that orianthi is amazing a million times over and it wont get old.
Check it! I think you should reconsider after you've tried one. Se guitars are that good, you shouln't have to spend quadruple of the se price on a solid body prs.
@xguitarist123x nice i want that one however i ended up with a discontinued model of the se custom 22 not exactly what i wanted but hey for 350 dollars how could i say no. Are you a fan of orianthi by any chance?
Godins are best electrics in the world as far as playability, quality control,quality materials, and cost, period.....I'm a pro and have seven, wouldn't trade them for anything, and I've played them all. No one matches the care and passion Robert Godin has for guitar building, 'cept maybe Jean Larrivee, Robin Boucher, and private luthiers. My 20 year old LGXT is far and away the best electric I've ever played and/or seen, and in 20 years it's never disappointed.
@jprincehouston in your opinion some of us however are lovers of metal and in some cases thats just something even a noiseless pickup strat cant handle.
sure, but I know I couldn't play with a SE. I've been playing for almost 10 years and I really need to play a perfect instrument that won't prevent me from giving my best :). Anyway, for the price it's really good!
You will neevr pick up one and not be amazed at how good the they feel, they all play like a dream, shame you can't say the same about Fender and Gibson!! PRS QC is top notch, they are the best sounding and playing guitars in the world.
You will see that it's going to be your sweetest dream ever man... Mine's allready came true... Kinda hard to realize that this is not a dream. It's real...
PRS is all around the best guitar you can get. It doesn't have a huge name to it like Fender or Les Paul so your money isn't wasted on a label. Each guitar PRS makes is unique and sounds amazing. A $700 PRS semi-hollow custom body is much more diverse and better sounding than a $2000 dollar Fender. And Les Paul (rest his soul) is just not to be compared.
i managed to play a left handed prs at a music show in london not so long ago, and im not going to lie, it was one of the best experiences of my life, you can really feel all of the work that goes into the guitars.
Thank you PRS for your incredible guitars.
PRS Guitars are the finest made guitars in the world. I love em'. I own just about every custom out there and PRS seems to have that tone and versatility that I need. Beautiful guitars too.
those guitars are amazing, i played one n fell inlove w it
Had my first guitar lesson ever on a PRS CE22, and 8 years later I can call that guitar my own! Once you go PRS you never go back! :P
I got my prs se tremonti yesterday and i love it!
Thank to you for sharing this nice video.

Im getting an Custom 24 SE for my birthday, i absolutly love PRS, i was taught on my cousins SE which was conveted into a CE so it was worth well over a grand, and my many my faviorite bands use it
Man playing these guitars are freakin awsome! i tested one and its amazing, i believe it was a custom 24, guitar of my dreams man.
my dream guitar,, i will have one.. someday...
awesome
i own all 3 they're all beautiful and different in their own way!
I wish esp did a factory tour like this.
I had a beautiful Santana III Whale Blue Bird-in-lays Ten Top 24 frett and a PRS Custom 22" Amber Yellow. Bird-in Lays Ten Top. They are very awesome sounding guitars using Mesa Boogie amp.
thats the kind of job that I'll never get bored if I do my whole life
I like how they aren't all wearing the exact same "work" outfit. Makes it look like a more chill place to work.
excelent PRS the best.... powerful lens !!!!! Lucas From argentina

Was that the guy from GuitarWorld at 5:09 ?
@stephen0093 ya and he was like oh sorry didnt wanna interrupt you!
@YongYDG the Korean made SE series are great, at lest as good as les paul studio at a very reasonable price.
@stephen0093 i thought you meant paul as in Paul reed smith
Are they?
Interesting to know what the average is. : )
sure, but I know I couldn't play with a SE. I've been playing for almost 10 years and I really need to play a perfect instrument that won't prevent me from giving my best :). Anyway, for the price it's really good!
prs guitars rule!
@pietershertogen he's probably doing a thing on PRS for guitarworld. or he directed this vid.
i like not inlays in my guitar, is that bad?
Im fucking proud of that I have a PRS guitar too !! Damn that feels really better than have a GIBSON or FENDER !
You will neevr pick up one and not be amazed at how good the they feel, they all play like a dream, shame you can't say the same about Fender and Gibson!!
PRS QC is top notch, they are the best sounding and playing guitars in the world.
at 5:23 you can see Paul from Guitar World standing on the left in the black jacket lol Guess he came to check out PRS?
I don't understand all this fender vs gibson vs prs conflict... They're all great and they're all different.
i think i just saw paul at the back then from guitar world :)
