@thetonemob Blake and I had a golden opportunity at #gearfest2023 to reunite with Paul Reed Smith nearly 8 YEARS after our last interview with him. Did we have more questions? yes, did Paul have answers? of course, was it every bit as silly as last time? maybe?

Do they argue that the scientific approach is fake, or do they just not trust a lot of the science they hear about? Ie, they think its manipulated to fit an agenda or whatever? Big difference. But I imagine some people may not believe in facts or at least that they are knowable.

I've had the chance to meet Paul at multiple Gear Fests over the years. I can truthfully say he's exactly like this off camera! I brought my beloved PRS Custom 22 Artist one year for him to sign, and he chatted with me for like half an hour about the guitar, and played it with me for a little while. Then signed it "to Jonathan, Paul Reed Smith". Such a humble and great guy!

@jonathananthony1901 Жыл бұрын

@Scott__C I completely agree. I used to live only about 45 minutes from Sweetwater and was there practically every weekend. It WAS the best customer service I had ever experienced. However, I moved away and recently bought a very expensive amplifier from them. When it arrived, there was something clearly wrong with it. After days of getting the run around from my new sales engineer (my original one I'd had for years had retired), I just called Mesa Boogie out in California. They picked up the phone, and they had me troubleshoot the amp over the phone and confirmed there was a problem with it. I had them email me, and then I sent THAT to Sweetwater. I STILL couldn't get help. I finally said f*&%-it and just called their customer service line and demanded a refund. And i still wasn't given a "full" refund. I had to eat the cost of return shipping. In the past 15 years, my band and I have spent THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars at Sweetwater building a recording studio and funding all our band equipment. After my experience, I don't feel they are any better than any other online music store these days. I could not believe I dropped $2,500 on a brand new amplifier, and when it arrived defective, I couldn't get help. What a fall from grace, Sweetwater.

paul is such an interesting character that i bought a prs se a few years ago and i absolutely love it. its 10 times better than my ibanez guitars in build quality. a bit of a high price for me but it was worth it because both of my ibanez guitars have been damaged by aging and weathering. weirdly both of the bridges had problems. my acoustic has a crack in the wood connecting all of the string holes and my electric had the vibro bar break because it was stuck in the blocks threads that i heard breaking when i was using it. (for context my electric is a geo that is about 23 years old and my acoustic is probably 5 or 6 years old at this point but i have had it since then and the bridge broke after about 1 year of owning it.) the only gripes i have about the prs se are that the push pull pot feels fairly cheap but it works perfectly fine and the toggle switch is a bit crackly. i did get mine as open box so im not upset about these faults as i got the guitar at a discount. and still the price was only a bit more than both of my ibanez guitars, so im not mad when the build quality of everything else is so much better. the neck is perfect, the body shape is comfortable, and the pickups are amazing. 100% would buy again. thanks PRS for making a good quality instrument for a sensible price.

There was absolutely no room for this in the interview, but being a country music fan I wanted to point out that that Ryan’s shirt is a reference in and of itself. The Louvin Brothers had an incredible record with terrible album art called “Satan Is Real”. The cover art is so bad that it’s become a cultural touchstone and that is undoubtedly where TMBG got their inspiration. Also, Paul is a blast to interview.

100% on pot values being matched. I use 500s on my Strats, then dial down until it sounds best. Full on , too much treble, but there's a sweet spot where the treble stays pretty much the same, but the bass blooms to give a balanced full and "right" sound. W normal 6Kish p ups its 325-375 K; which is why they now have 350K (might be 375) pots available.

@terryenglish7132 Жыл бұрын

@@JohnShalamskas Usually adding a constant to a formula changes absolute value but not the curve. An exponential curve for example and thats sort of the taper here. So I'm not so sure unless you have some mathematical proof you can show. TO the EAR and fingers there's either no difference, or the new curve is just as useful and you instantly adapt ei, it works about the same. For Fender $ level pots its not really a curve, but 3 or more linear sections, which is why it doesn't change perfectly smoothly. Thanks for questioning.

Using discarded lipstick tubes instead of making or buying pickup covers, fiberboard instead of real wood. If someone did that today they would be laughed at and called out for being fraudulent.

The wood used on acoustic guitars clearly makes a difference. But does wood affect the electrics on an electric guitar? I dont know anyone who could hear an electric guitar being played through an amp (without seeing it) and be able to tell what wood it was made out of it.

@bradt.3555 11 ай бұрын

You couldn't tell what wood an acoustic is made from. The point is it sounds different from another, and do to personal preferance some like one sound over another. All parts of a guitar affect the tone, acoustic or electric.

@fieldfullofthistles 11 ай бұрын

In the case of acoustic guitars the wood and the construction really give the guitar the sound. For an electric guitar it is the pickups that make the most difference. Solid wood doesnt make a jot of difference. Whats happened is that the manufacturers know that its a great marketing ploy to sell to guitarists and they based this on the construction of acoustic guitars and the "tonewood" idea and transferred it on to solid electric guitars. Its your money their after! At the end of the day its everyones own choice - I have moved to cheaper but still exceptionally good guitars these days - Vintage, Eastman etc. @@bradt.3555

I seen a documentary that mentioned Antonio Stradivari works, it is theorized that the wood that he gathered from a particular forest had once survived being buried in snow for many years which changed its characteristics (for lack of a better term), whereas later violin makers that even harvested wood from the same area could not produce the same sound because those trees had not experienced the same climate.
