I Never Thought Id Say This...But I Love It (PRS NF 53)

Жыл бұрынAfter years of playing PRS guitars, and never finding one that fit me I gave up on thinking Id ever be into a guitar they built. However this past week at #gearfest2023 at Sweetwater they released the all new NF 53 and Im actually shocked at how much I dig it. Theres finally a @prsguitars I really like.

Since theres some confusion in the comments, I want to clarify. PRS did not give me this guitar, or pay for this video in any way. This was shot at Sweetwater's Gearfest 2023, where PRS was attending, I grabbed this guitar from their booth to use in this video, then returned it as soon as we were done shooting.

Even if every PRS guitar was the same, which they're not, each person's rig is unique so you have a nearly infinite combination of sonic possibilities and the opportunity to develop your own sound. Your argument is that you like other guitars because they create a lot of bad ones and you're able to find the special one that gives you your own sound? Your dislike of PRS is completely emotional and you're missing out on something amazing.

@@Kmh0277 His argument is that he doesn't like the look of most PRS and finds them characterless due to their consistency and sterile to play. That's a personal opinion and good enough reason not to like them in general. TBH I'm with him on the look - I don't find them appealing either with an OTT look and colour that simply looks garish. They are guitars with very ornate "furniture" figuring and crazy colour stains and that's not everyone's cup of tea.

I bet if you did the mods that you did to your Epi Casino to a PRS SE Zach Myers or a Custom 24/22 (or new McCarty SE) you would be over the moon with how good a guitar it is for the money. New nut, locking tuners, pickups, pots, switch and output jack. Sounds radical? If you do it yourself it's cheap and you end up with a guitar that betters many Les Pauls for 1/5th the price

I think Paul’s quest has always been to make every guitar really good quality, not make them all exactly the same. There are so many variations within a broad “category” (strat/tele/Les Paul/335) based on specs and materials. It’s built by people, with that human uncertainty attached, but they follow a set of basic rules that almost guarantee a good guitar at the end. Paul seems to really enjoy being able to pull one out of the production stream and present it cold to an audience. That’s faith in your people and your ideas.

I agree with what Rhett alluded to - consistency. If you want to buy a Stratocaster, from Squier to Custom Shop, you need to play every one you can find until you find "the one" because they're all a little different in playability, tone, that intangible mojo, etc. PRS on the other hand is the only guitar I'll buy online - the only major differences are in the flame of the top or the woods, but the quality, craftsmanship and tone is always there.
@segueoyuri 11 ай бұрын
@@DennyBob521 I understand the magic of going into a shop and leaving thinking "wow only this guitar sounds like this and it's perfect for me", but the side effect of that is having Gibsons with awful paint jobs or the mythical "PAF sound" that nobody knows what it is because each one sounds different, or Fenders with loose necks. All machines spit stuff within error margins, and I bet every cent I got that PRS goes to great lengths in order to produce such complex and fine instruments with such high standards and small deviations. Whatever you pay for it and whatever you buy, you can be absolutely certain it will sound good and be well made. And this is not a sure thing with Fender, for instance. If it was we wouldn't have a market for Suhr lol

I agree that it’s the individuality of the guitar that makes it personal to the player and that unique feel and sound are what inspires. I’ve only had two guitars that inspire me, my 1997 PRS Cu22 10 Top and my 2006 Suhr Classic T. As supernatural as it sounds, I’m convinced these guitars sought ME out. That’s especially true for the Suhr…I bought it used and when I TOUCHED it I knew…I came back to Sam Ash the next day and bought it without ever plugging it in. I just knew.

Definitely agree on the subjectivity. Most guitarist I know are hell bent on getting the ultimate single coil guitar, and I get it’s a very unique tone and sound, but I personally don’t care much for single coil guitars let alone Strats. Just like how PRS doesn’t inspire you Feder strats don’t really do for me. I always thought I would be an Ibanez player, but a friend introduced me to PRS and I’ve been converted ever since. I think PRS is one of the few that actually improves on their guitars rather than just releasing “re-issued” models like Gibson and Fender does. But for some people that’s what they are looking for, and others might be a total turn off. It’s all subjective and I think it’s cool if someone finds their dream Guitar even if it’s a brand or model that I myself would never consider.

I’d love to see prs try and improve on their headstock shapes though, or even just experiment a little. It’s such a bold choice that really doesn’t do it for so many people. It’s something I think Ibanez does right. When they make a metal guitar it’s a metal headstock, when it’s a jazz guitar it keeps with the vibe. PRS could learn from that. This guitar is arguably one of the more tasteful models along the vela, but I just can’t get over how bad the headstock design has aged over time.

As Paul Reed Smith said, he wasn't looking to copy a Tele... I got my first PRS 3wks ago...and while I cannot afford $1K+ dollar guitars, I got PRS newest SE CE 24 Standard Satin $499. I love it ! It's 7lbs which I can't stand guitars heavier than 7lbs...the body is smaller than some guitars..love the split coil tone knob...love that the whole guitar is satin plays well and stays in tune..and well, yes I like the birds ! AND for $499 it came with a really nice gig bag. So thanks PRS for offering those who simply cannot afford these high end guitars, a well made name brand instrument. For a few dollars more, you get a much better guitar than say a Squire Classic Vibe, or other guitars in the $400-500 price point.

When I pick-up a PRS guitar, it's like holding a masterpiece in your hands, and they just flat out sound great! It sounds like you're really caught up in the images of guitars played by your guitar heroes. I focus on the music, not the image.

PRS guitars are some of the best made. Yes, they are made to look beautiful and sound great. Not all of us like our guitars to look like they were dragged behind a pickup truck. PRS makes works of art you can play great music on.

The first PRS I ever liked was the Vela, I’m going to check this out for sure!! I just wish they were strung thru the body like a Tele

I'd love the $3000 first though... And for far less money, I can buy a much cheaper Tele style guitar and make it a beast. I don't know who can afford these things.

People always say who can buy a $3000 guitar…. Gas is $4.5 a gallon… i just had my annual furnace maintenance (no repair) and it was $400… It is not 1976… in todays world, $3000 for a quality instrument is cheap

@@chadbouterse8617Yeah, but you can get a killer Tele for that price that sounds better than this. This thing sounds flat and lacks the spank.

@@chadbouterse8617 lol $3000 is far from "cheap" for a practical instrument. I'm assuming you're a pianist.

@@archiiebarrett It’s not just pianos, there are many other instruments were $3,000 isn’t even a starting point for a professional level, high quality instrument. We are lucky in the guitar world that there are high quality, professional level guitars for significantly less than $3,000. I understand that $3,000 is definitely not a price that would be considered “affordable” to a large number of guitar players, and I was definitely in that group myself for the majority of the time that I’ve been playing guitar. However, I have finally gotten to a point in my life where I have more disposable income (no I’m not a doctor, lawyer, or anything like that), and I would not consider $3,000 to be out of my price range. That being said, I think there are much better options for a Telecaster (or Telecaster style guitar) in this price range especially if you are willing to consider used guitars. However, if I absolutely was forced to buy a PRS this would probably be my choice.

A friend of mine (who plays circles around me) has similar feelings about PRS. He calls them Stepford Wife guitars. I've always gravitated to the P2 series from them for the simpler approach. I love the wood on this one.

You're absolutely right, it is subjective. For me Im inspired when I play something with history & heritage behind it. Which is why I got an AM Tele. It feels n' sounds authentic to me , it's a cultural feeling is the best I can describe it.
@brandonjackson5865 11 ай бұрын
That’s super resonate acoustically usually a very good indicator that it’ll come alive when amplified. I’m one of those guys who decide if I want an electric guitar before I even plug it in. The last thing I do is plug it in to make sure the electronics work, but if it doesn’t make it past the feel and acoustic test an amplifier ain’t going to change my mind.

I just can't get to the "why" at that price point. There are other Tele's by obviously Fender and other brands that already exist, already do some different stuff, and land way cheaper and with better looks and options. But I, like Rhett, have never really understood PRS as a brand. It is definitely not my style of guitar. And I will never like those tacky neck inlays. You could buy a Reverend and an actual Fender Tele used for the new price of one of these. Or at the higher end you're into Suhr territory.

if it fits your eye, hands, ears, and the conversation between your body and guitar is pure resonance, you have found a jewel i agree the finish on that model is quite appropriate not every guitar needs to be tobacco iris flame curly burst etc...id be very happy to have that guitar. i must say it has caught my eye
