Why spend your life savings on fenders or gibsons when PRS is literally everything you could ask for in a great guitar for a steal price
>>
>>131544821
butt rock guitars
>>
>>131544835
They the job done, are built like a tank, have great pickups, never go out of tune, keep perfect intonation all the time.
>>
>>131544821
Because they are objectively ugly, and I can get a Squier at 1/4th of the price. Enjoy your overpriced boomer guitar, pops.
>>
>>131544860
I can glue a pickup to a plank and drag strings across it but that doesn't mean it will sound good
>>
>Fender, Gibson, PRS
Why not all three?
>>
>>131544821
Gibsons are beautiful instruments. PRS look like ugly gaudy trash
>>
>>131544860
>squier
A poorfag's best friend. Can literally buy one with EBT.
>>
>PRS

poor man's Knaggs

>>131544849
>have great pickups
Apparently they've made strides and Paul has improved them a lot, but pickups used to be one of PRS's weakest points

Pic related makes Gibson and Fender players seethe
Every import PRS is setup by the US factory.
Even the imports are better than Gibson and Fenders that cost nearly 3x as much.
>>
>>131545358
Why does this matter when Guitar Center or Sweetwater is just gonna do a set up anyway?

PRS is the only nigga that makes guitars that cost 6000 bucks that look like a 300 dollar schecter from 2003
>>
>>131544821
>Why spend your life savings on fenders or gibsons
i didn't? i only use those when i have record deals and the studio provides them, otherwise i just use ESPs with better heardrock pickups.

cringe

>>131545741
you're high. there is no schecter that looks even a quarter as good as the ugliest PRS
>>
>>131545300
>Knaggs

They somehow made PRS uglier and more expensive
>>
Ibanez bros?
>>
Sure but only the AT model
>>
>>131545676
Because PRS knows their guitars better and their name is on the headstock
>>
>>131544821
MIJ Squier mogs PRS for a fraction of the price
>>
For me it's my:
USA Gibson 60s Standard
Fender American Special Telecaster
Martin D-28

Feels good to have a job so I can buy whatever I want

>>131546366
Schecter copied PRS.
PRS had that head stock shape in 1982.
Schecter didn't copy it until 1999

>Squier
Nah

It's just because they're not as old of a brand as Fender and Gibson. The bulk of all the legendary rock music was played with the latter 2 brands just because they were the two main guitar brands of the era. That means those guitars will always be somewhat desired. Fender and Gibson have been coasting on that for decades.

Objectively speaking PRS make better quality guitars than Fender and Gibson these days. Especially Fender, which is why partially why Fender is trying to sue them (and everyone else) because Fender's quality control has gone downhill and they're increasingly losing their market share in Europe and Asia. So in those parts of the world you often do see Ibanez or PRS being used by younger artists.

For me, it's Charvel. And you??
>>
>>131546366
and the PRS looks significantly better. what a surprise. also as >>131546421 said they've been made since the 80s. promptly kill yourself
>>
>>131546433
People don't realize back in the late 60s/70s when rock was at its peak you basically either had Fender or if you wanted humbuckers you had Gibson. Gretsch was also an option but not preferred for rock.
That was basically it. In the 80s Super Stats took off but it was pretty much Fender or Gibson
Schecter started off making parts for Fenders before making guitars, Jackson, Charvel, all of them
PRS didn't start making guitars until the 80s and the early models sucked. They've come a long way

if your life's savings is only 3k you've got way bigger problems to worry about than buying a guitar

It's designed in Maryland built in Indonesia and setup and inspected by Americans
DOn't be mad that your Player strat got though miguel and pedros qc with lifted frets and a twisted neck.

>>131549723

Someone hasn't seen the PRS factory tour videos. Unless you count obese black women as American, which we do not

1500 dollar guitar that's completely unplayable.
No wonder Fender is suing instead of fixing their shit QC

The inspector is whiter than you.
Seems you're mad that Fender and Gibsonj ship garbage to the retailers
>>
>>131549764
Hi Paul! Guess, what, I'll NEVER buy your hideous guitars so I don't care what you say
>>
The SE stands for Shit Edition.

>>131549959
I\'ll guess you'll settle for 3k guitars that are garbage won't stay in tune and are covered in orange peel.
>>131549970
No habla espanol.

What difference does it make? You losers couldn't play for shit no matter what guitar you had in your hands lol

Paul Reed Smith? Gibson? Fender? $135 starter pack Squier? Rubber bands stretched across the top of a tin can? To use for what? You fucking up the the intro to 'Enter Sandman' for the thousandth time even though you've been practicing it for a decade?

Seriously, this is like a thread arguing over if a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla is better when you don't even have a drivers license and still can't ride a bicycle without falling off lmfao

Real talk.
