Have to address it a certain way otherwise lawsuits can occur

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching! As always, there are more stories to come.

PRS Guitars Great, we'll be here to hear them!

Since the guitar has a lot of pickups and switches it could probably be useful for a cover band that does has s huge repertoire of songs.

ummmmm no

Yadnesh. lol what did he innovate?

Jim Yang They develop their own bridges/hardware, pickups, electronics configuration, manufacturing process and finishes. Is that enough for ya? Just because they don't invent flying cars doesn't mean there's no innovation. "Innovation is often also viewed as the application of better solutions that meet new requirements, unarticulated needs, or existing market needs."

He's a bit of an asshole though. Almost hit me with a car at Target and just fucking drove off.

@@JavaoftheLava Jeez give him a break he was probably thinking about his next guitar innovation.

Mayer himself has said it wasnt about getting Jerrys tone. It was getting a tone that suited those tunes but also reflected Mayers style. It was supposed to be a newer sound rather than a mimic of any one jerry guitar

It has a Jerry tone but less bass tones of the 80s era. Also less saturation

Angel years of saving and bunch of credit card debt 😂😂😂 but it's all paid off now but yes I have a problem

since when are too many guitars a problem? if that's true, I guess I have a problem too. strangely, my only problem is not having enough guitars.

You don’t have a problem, just the means of satisfying a harmless addiction/love that most of us players would love to to have. Rock on Bro!

I'm poor can I have one?

@@aquatichighs collectors bro.

InnerFire- Graham No you’re right I have seen that also. He definitely has another one of these with a metallic “f-hole” wether it’s a sticker painted on. No sure of there’s any other differences between the 2 though

Bryan Kraus Im pretty sure even Jerrys customs he paid 4-6k not 12

if you lose the fancy flame maple back and the JM signature sticker that's gotta cut it down a few thousand at least!

uh, back in 1980, 4-6k was an insane price for a guitar, Just sayin. i can't afford a Super Eagle, but i have managed to acquire 3 PRS DGTs ( 2 ordered new). My point is this. While this guitar is one of the Cadillacs of the PRS line up, there are several other USA made PRS guitars that sound/play awesome without needing a 6 figure salary.

Of course there are, but I was just being realistic with my request in terms of what the rest of their core line-up costs.

You bring up a good point. I would actually be surprised if PRS didn't end up offering a stripped down JM model in the core line. I think they would sell aplenty of them!

Gear Nerd My favorite Jerry tone was on the SG, plenty of those

Travis Elswick well that was only part of 69 and May of 70, hardly a signature tone or hard to get like later on, even though the playing itself was killer... its easy to get that tone so no "chasing Garcia tone" needed... it's the unique tone with wolf and tiger that are more desired by far for those after signature Garcia tone. The SG was a small phase but still great music. I prefer Wolf, Tiger and the Travis Bean with JGB myself.

Gear Nerd very well said. Fact is Garcia is one of those players that no matter what he played in any stage of his career he got that "Garcia" tone. Just his own personal touch and magic.

best way to get Jerry's sound is lots of practice

I didn't listen to Jerry Garcia up until now. Holy shit he sounds wonderful. You know a lot about his tone, did you professionally work in this field?

Hahaha didnt even catch that

+Laki Bjornson ...he sounded a whole lot better.

Could've just said *"his old guitars, old tools"* etc.. better than saying "playing his bolt ons".

timijai22 I feel the same way. Picked up a custom 24 and felt it was good but not magical. Then I picked up the 594 and I felt so sad I didn't have the money to bring it home. It turned me into a huge believer as well. I'm still shocked by the way it felt, the tone, and even the looks. I could play two notes in that guitar for hours and be satisfied.

timijai22 I thought they only made 100

I have a 2016 McCarty limited 10 top with an ebony fretboard. Literally my favorite guitar. I love the vintage sounds and the neck is freaking perfect! If you see this PRS thank you so much!

I remember when I was a kid and was reading an interview with Garcia in one of the guitar magazines, and of course they asked him this kind of question about tone, sound, etc., and Jer responded, "I think for me, it is all in the wrist." I remember laughing at that. But ya know, it is the musician, not the instrument. Always will be.

Or the amp.

Exactly. It's insane how many people are still trying to capitalize off him. Take any clean tube amp channel, boost your guitar with a tube screamer or something similar and with the right playing you should at least come close to one era of Jerry tone.

Someone GETS it.

So you're saying that Jerry had those custom guitars made just for fun?

James M saw him on the search for everything tour.. 80% of the show was on his strats. Then a bit on his Super Eagle 1 then 1 song on his “PRS Strat” which I think is horse shit. If you wanna play a Strat then quit the games lol

James M he fell out with fender? He still uses strats tho

Isorozco511 His fender endorsements were for him to ONLY show fender amps on stage even if they were for show. He didnt want to do that. So he lost all endorsements He can use any guitar/amp he wants now Before he got paid and got all equipment paid for from fender. He just had to put fenders on stage. Even if using a dumble he had to have a dummy fender on stage.

I understand that some people don't like the relics, but for the vast majority of people, a relic gibson custom shop copy of a '59 Les Paul is the closest we will _ever_ get to playing a real '59. When I think about it that way, I don't hate the relics so much. I can't shell out six figures for a guitar, but if a four figure price tag gets me even a fraction of the magic, dings, scratches and all, of a real legendary vintage instrument, I'm all for it. I've also seen interviews where Gary Rossington, for instance, talked about how he had his original '59 recreated by gibson (so that he doesn't have to bring his real '59 on the road with him) down to the scratches and real wear patterns on his original guitar, and he said he can't even tell the difference between the real '59 and the recreated '59. I think that speaks volume for guys like me who would love nothing more than being able to afford a real '59 but can't. Is relicing a guitar in that context ok with you?

@Southeastern777 Not an accurate comparison at all. Of course you wouldn't buy a car like that, there's no market for it whatsoever and the only ones people will buy are the clean ones in good shape. The same is not true in the guitar market. Also to counter your engine point, Gibson or Fender aren't selling malfunctioning guitars at all to begin with; everything works perfectly. Clean vintage guitars are worth more, but even the most beat up 59 Les Pauls go for six figures.

@@STSGuitar16 i completely agree with your assessment. None of us can shell out 6 figures but 4 or 5, much more attainable.

@Southeastern777 lol ok bud, sounds a bit like your projecting yourself onto me, but whatever man. I wouldn't buy a relic guitar with any intention of trying to impress anyone or make anyone think I'm playing a vintage guitar or anything at all like that. I buy a guitar because _I_ enjoy the guitar's sound, feel, appearance, and the vibe that it has, not because I am trying to make an audience think a certain thing about me because of what guitar I'm playing. About the last thing that comes into my head when getting a guitar is "will this guitar really impress the crowd?" It's all about the _musician's_ connection to the instrument and the vibe that it has. I don't own any relic guitars personally, but I do understand why they're popular.

@Southeastern777 says the princess who felt it necessary to come after me in the first place because you were offended that some people like something that you don't lol THIS IS WHY I NEVER FLY SOUTHEASTERN AIRLINES SMH MY HEAD

Now they do

the se line is incredible for the price. I have 3 of them as well as a custom 24 ten top. I find myself playing the se models more.

Kris Hart Worth every penny.

Aquatic Highs hold my beer

"Not ever, no way. He's Johnny Hannasticks..." Thanks for the love Tommy Noble.

Maybe not to you or me, but to someone who plays 6+ hours a day for their living I could see it being noticeable.

Chris - We agree, the preamp sounds great; Jason is a wizard! The JCF Audio preamp is an OEM part specifically made for the Super Eagle 2, so, we do not currently offer it as a modification through PTC or our parts department.

in the f hole

Jim Buongiorno John uses Dumble amps, not Fender or PRS. He might use his PRS for Dead and Co gigs, but for his own work he uses Dumble

Inflation! I used to buy gas for .88 cents a gallon!

Uncle Johns Band

Can you save up and buy it yourself instead of begging? Have a little self respect. And get a work ethic. No such thing as a free lunch.

CamboMake - Dude, lighten the fuck up. Seriously.

Nah. Everybody wants a fucking gofundme or a bum handout these days. It's pathetic. I'll lighten up when people learn how to get off their ass and make a dollar. It isn't rocket science. I did it, so can you.

Steve Rosebud amen!

And I bet you've had a lot of help along the way. Don't act like your life is reminiscent of everyone elses. Fuck off.

dirtdirt you’re just jealous, he’s a great musician...period
