Then they drown the top in glass-like clearcoat and ruin the tone.

So the only handwork they do is sanding and yet, some of the models cost more than a car? I'm calling overpriced. I could build the exact same thing all by hand, for about 1000€ (probably less, depending on the price of the parts). I'm not saying that CNC's are a bad thing (quite the contrary for such a big company), but if the machines does all the hard work in a matter of minutes, it's wrong to put such a huge price tag on the guitar. I'm also not just hating on PRS, the same goes for Gibson, and all the other huge guitar factories producing overpriced guitars. A block of wood with some electronics on it (we are talking about solid body guitars here, mind you) should not cost more than $2000, if it's not vintage or otherwise rare.

Anybody notice the dude with the TOOL tattoo?

Must be a small section of PRS most made overseas, yes?

Cawfee Dawgg

I can not believe people are working with all that dust and adhesives without protection. F*cking idiots

JgHaverty

Lot of ignorant comments about CNC work. Theres a 99.9999% chance all your guitars were made with CNC. In fact, I only know of a few private luthiers that dont use CNC. And they charge 8000+ for their guitars... PRS's are bargains for the level of quality you get.

wot happens to all the larger offcuts from the body shaping? theres some big old pieces goin in the scrap bin. id hate to think of high quality wood like that just goin in the bin.

Rick Pierre

I am so sorry i accidentaly hit the wrong key and was cut off from finishing my comment,but as i was saying you built it all not just the body,the pick-up's and bobin,volume and tone knobs,anything that could possibly made from wood was. Again you are the man KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK,i'll be checking in on you from time to time, THANK's

16 to 18 days BUT you're doing tons of necks! So, in less than 1 month you can have 100 PRS done. or 200 or 1000 depending on how many employees you have to do a particular task along the line. It makes it sound like it's some fine wine but it's all machined like all other companies.

If I had a large sum of money, I'd definitely buy a nice PRS. They're great guitars. However, the standard PRS guitars cost the same as a meticulously built, custom guitar by Anderson, Suhr etc. PRS are a classic example of pricing something high enough that you deceive people into thinking it might actually be worth that much. These are mass-produced standard guitars priced like the very highest end custom instruments.

Bingo! If a guitarist has the means and he enjoys playing he'll most definitely buy as many as he can get away with. As long as he can put raumen noodles on the table he's set!

Quality acoustic instruments are of course hand-tuned, but a lot of the price of a great violin is the rare antique status. There's also the mystic and hype that surrounds the art, and drives up prices. Great sounding violins are being made for ~5k. One day they will be worth many times that, and not just because the wood has fully broken in.

Narcoleptigon

My ~$350 polyfoam semi-hollw has tone/sustain advantages over a pricey Gibson semi from any era because the materials are all synthetic and vibrationally consistent. Bill Lawrence era Howard Roberts Gibsons were some of the best sounding guitars, because he knew how to use physics in the design, and the top was a vibrationally consistent plywood.

Narcoleptigon

Nope. With electrics, it's often a matter of luck as to the tone/feel. Matching neck and body wood phasing is impossible. PRS are nice, but they don't know how to apply physics to produce specific vibrational patterns like with the instruments of Loyd Loar, or Bill Lawrence era Gibsons. Either way, it matters much less with electrics. You can luck out with a cheap electric that sounds better than something magnitudes more in price. I've heard so in several incidents.

i don't think so. A great player can play amazing thing on a 100$ guitar, he will produce a better sound than an average player. But no way close to a pro guitar. PRS are perfect guitar, it is more a matter of preference. When you look at the price of good violin, viola, cello, piano, etc a pro guitar is very cheap, even at 3000$... My mother viola worth 35 000$ alone
