I've had a PRS Studio 2021 on order for months and it's finally here. The Paul Reed Smith 2021 Studio features the 58/18 Low Turn Humbucker and a pair of PRS NarrowFields. In this initial video, I live my first impressions of this fantastic guitar. The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

That is a lovely PRS. I have a PRS custom 24 from 2008 with the McCarty burst. It looks stunning too. I found out later after buying that the date of manufacture was a very special date for me for other reasons. I was looking to get a strat, but now maybe I have to look at this guitar. Great video Paul. Thank you.

That really is a stunning guitar. Sounds very focused and "wiry" compared to the DGT i think, but incredibly detailed. I imagine this one will cut through any mix like nobody's business...the Studio being considerably higher priced than the DGT i'm really looking forward to seeing both guitars compared. Great job as always, man.

The two are like comparing apples and oranges. The DGT's dual humbuckers are wound to match David Grissom's ES-335 which had PAFs, and they're different than the bridge pickup on the Studio. The DGT also has bigger frets and 11s, which affect the sound. I have both guitars and they're equally fun, they sound good mellow and loud, they're just different instruments and are equally capable. And they both feel great after hours of playing.

Curious if you were to pick up a Studio and had to shed one of the other two, which would you keep? I have a 594 but have been feeling like I would be slightly happier replacing it with a DGT, which I have not been able to try so far, for the meaty HB tone needs. I'm in the process of trying to find a Studio too, and I think I would make for a great trio alongside a DGT and HBII (getting rid of my 594 and cu24).

Very pretty guitar! I have the original model Studio. The "biggest" difference is the bridge humbucker. The Studio is a great rock guitar, and is so fun to play! It quacks like a Strat, can scream like a LP Jr., and can get mellow like a 335 on the front pickup. Now look into the PRS 509. :-) Between it and the Studio the rest of my PRS are living at home.
@Tiger1016.
@Tiger1016. 2 жыл бұрын
Would you say that the 509 has relatively more snap, spank, funk compared to the single coils in the Studio? Seems like it probably does from what I have gathered from other demos. Been tossed up between the Studio and 509 after multiple failed attempts at trying to gel with "real" so gel coils (strat, tele, Fiore) with P90s being closer to my liking.

I used Gibsons for years, from the late 60s, had lots of Les Paul Customs, 335s, a 345 with genuine PAFs, but now have PRS instead. I think the PRS are better balanced and more playable, and are extremely well made. The PRS DGT and the Studio are the two I recommend looking at first if you already have a Les Paul. The DGT is so comfortable and sounds like a late 50s Les Paul with a tremolo. The Studio is like a Strat with major balls and is my favorite for over-driven amps.
