PRS the best electrics...Simply amazing guitars.

Ultimately, whatever inspires you....

Yes. Tag his PRSes that much is a given.

These clips just proved to me what I already knew. It all comes down to personal preference.

While the PRS guitars sounded great in both clips, (have owned 26 PRS in my time) I preferred the R9's. They whisper to growl and do everything in between. They seem like a broader paint brush stroke. The PRS seems like a beautiful brush stroke, just not quite as broad.

Obviously just my opinion and if you hear different, that's great too. Play what makes you happy.

This Tag fellow simply cannot be reasoned with! I gave up after my last post.

I think he's now saying that he meant that he only can't tell the difference between the PRS and LP when he "dumbs down" the PRS. It really is like arguing with a cult member.

It's simple, not sure why it's flying over your heads. I can dial in extremely similar tones with all my guitars, but the PRS does things none of the others do. It has much more harmonic content, chirp on the high end, and can sound WAY bigger than a LP. Just check this out!!!
Ridiculous!!!

INSANITY!!

I end up engaging longer than I should

No kidding...at this point, both of you need to let it go...you are not going to be able to convince each other. I have no dog in this fight and I like all my guitars across multiple brands.

Can't argue with the "Insanity" statement.

I’m not even trying to convince him - I’ve said from the very beginning that I don’t object to him claiming the PRS is better not that he prefers it. Just that the inherent differences between them need to be accounted for in a tone shootout. At this point I’m just bewildered at the abject nonsense being spouted as so-called “fact” and am spending more time than I should in pointing it out.

Hey! Just grab his guitar and put up a clip of an R9 sounding that huge. Not happening.
They can't do it. If they could, I would still own one of mine.

You are simply making one excuse after the other. I'm simply comparing 2 guitars. A PRS Artist III vs. Gibson R9. I don't care if they were made in 1721 or "In the year 2525, if man is still alive." The PRS simply sounds better.

Very few, but some, yes.

Wow! Totally gorgeous. Does it play and sound as good as it looks?

 

[Frater106]

I didn’t say you can’t, I said you don’t.

Me playing rock:

Pretty sweet, but I’d try it a little faster and with a lot more swing.

No....

Throw your clip up

Yep. Exactly what this thread is lacking. Guys yapping without putting their OWN clips up.
You backed it.

 

[dougb415]

Not to be a studio snob

Are you sure about that?

 

[dougb415]

But, this crusade you are on to pump PRS and crap on Gibson every chance you get is getting tiresome.

I'm curious about the apparent tractor beam that pulls folks like you into threads like this. I guess I should be trolling the non-PRS threads to show them the errors of their ways. "No, his opinion is WRONG! And I HAVE to let him know!!!!!!!"

The only way to show these things is a comparison video.

This fails to show any of what you seem to think you hear.

Throw your clip up

Why?


Throw your clip up so I can judge if your opinions are worthy of consideration.

 

[Frater106]

Not exactly, when PRS and the boutique builders objective is to replicate the 50s sound they do a much better job than Gibson. Often times considerably better than original 50s models, based on a great deal of personal experience with all of them. Terry McInturff's Carolina is definitely the best LP style guitar ever made. My PRS McCarty 594TIC 58/15LT pickups is a very close second place.

Gibson re-issues are ridiculously over priced based upon the marketing concept and misperceptions that the 50s Gibsons are the best ever.

C’mon, now. Everybody knows that the best guitars were ‘59 Bursts made of unobtanium!

I like Gibson and PRS. (Waiting for a reply about how I’m wrong and your opinion is the only one that matters)
