I sense that Lee was starting to get irritated and I do not blame him. I like Paul very much, he has a lot of interesting things to say and I own five of his guitars but his manners in this situation annoyed me. On the other side of the coin I thought Lee was wrong to interrogate Paul about his pickup design, Lee is a partner in a rival guitar company, why should Paul give trade sensitive information to a rival after years of expensive development. Perhaps the Captain should think about his manners as well?

From a business perspective it's pretty amazing how PRS have gone out and done something (new) w/ their catalog that adds so much sustainability and new growth and security for the company and its employees. Sounds like they may even be adding employees. They're still finding a way to balance short term & long term when a lot of guitar companies aren't quite able to do as much in 2018. No doubt the guitar is great, I'd love to have one & will in time ($). But they'll be selling the HELL out of these and that's amazing. Still staying relevant & pushing boundaries, maintaining quality etc. I think that's to be applauded really.

The funniest part of the beef is that PRS didn't wake up one morning and say, "We're gonna make a strat!" This is John Mayer's signature guitar. He got what he requested - end of story. I don't understand why there's a problem. If any of you people bitching about this ever got the got the opportunity to create a signature guitar, it would be just as derivative of the guitar you play most as the Silver Sky is to John's favorite Strat. Not a single one of you would have an ounce of originality. So, to quote the mighty Frank Zappa, "Shut up and play yer guitar!"

Or it could be that he got The Dead gig and he wanted something different, which is showcased with the Super Eagle and the J-Mod, and he liked the quality and the vibe of PRS so he asked them to make something similar to his Strat. But here's the thing... Who. Cares? Don't want it? Don't buy it. It's not anybody's business what PRS, or Suhr, or Tom Andersen, or Fernandes, or Schecter, or Ibanez, or Epiphone (all have made Strat influenced guitars, or flat out copies) make. What matters is how they sound, and how they play. See Zappa quote once again.
@RRW276 6 жыл бұрын
C M I think it's that - what you mentioned about the Dead & Co sound & the Super Eagle. I also think John found someone (PRS) & a company that speaks his language and that's part of why he's gone full force with them, and it makes sense. Lee talked a bit about Clapton when Paul mentioned him, but Clapton may be at a point where he's invented (I have to say invented) all the tones he's going to create. Whereas, I believe Mayer might be heading in a new tone direction, a new stage, and PRS was able to see his vision to help him get there where maybe Fender couldn't or didn't want to. Either way, love it or hate it, it's going to be a great ride to see where John takes this next - as a huge Mayer fan & especially of Dead & Co. I've seen them twice & it's an exp I'll never forget.

PRS is a tough interview! lol He get's onto tangents which lead him to other tangents, and the ears turn off. He does seem like a genuinely good guy though, and he deserves mountains of credit for breaking into a highly competitive industry and wrecking his way into establishing a "big 3" in guitar making with the inclusion of PRS into that exclusive group. Probably my biggest consolation with Gibson being in the trouble they are currently experiencing is that no matter what happens with them, PRS will be around pushing high quality, well designed instruments to the masses. That's actually comforting to know. Great vid and thanks!

I absolutely love that Lee is really bending but not breaking to Paul ... PRS is a difficult guy to deal with and he's dominant in conversation, but hats off to you, Lee for sticking to your guns and not cowering to him.

If I didn't already have a Strat that I like, I'd definitely be interested in the Silver Sky. It checks a lot of boxes for me, personally. The pickups are vintage-voiced and seem well balanced. It has a great headstock design with locking tuners and a good nut for better tuning stability. The 7.25" radius is comfortable. The vibrato also seems to be stable. For any Strat I would buy, there would be a list of modifications I would want to do, but I would probably leave the Silver Sky as is.

Paul’s a bit triggered, huh? He needs to realize he’ll have the last laugh. Maybe his intensity is the reason PRS is such a great guitar company. Awesome freaking guitar.

I’ve heard everything there is to hear about this guitar now but I still watch every damn video...

It’s genuinely sad... because I could totally see myself trying one out, and enjoying it. But Paul comes off as so rude and sarcastic in this, despite how kind and polite Lee is... and it totally turns me off from wanting to associate with PRS.

Is it just the camera angle on a few shots or is the neck on that guitar wider as it gets farther up?

Great interview but when lee asks about the pickups at 13:18 "They're all the same" PRS response is just legend.

I never noticed before how matte the tuners are, are they plastic?

O, Captain, my Captain, could you please tell me more about the guitar Paul picks up at the 17.31 mark? Is it an SC, McCarty singlecut or a Tremonti, what the woods are on it and what the finish is on it? I'm designing a private stock in my head and would like to consider parts of that for it. 🙂

Every single tell of a passive aggressive personality is on display in Paul Smith. Nice guitars, but you can bet he is a nightmare person to deal with.

Doubt John Mayer would been able to work with him if that was true.
@danielleelizabeth9417 2 жыл бұрын
He’s probably different with John Mayer because he knows that his cash cow…duh. People treat celebrities different especially if they’re making them millions/billions of dollars!! 🤣🤣
