I have the 20th anniversary Core Artistan. I bought it at Thoroughbred music . Long time ago. Paul Reed Smith was there as a promotion. They had 12 of the Cores in an event. My is number 4 of 12. Mr. Smith signed the back control plate. He is very cool and passionate about his guitars. I still have it. Its in excellent condition for as much as i play it. It still looks brand new. I love the guitar. Very fortunate to have it. But i also love my L.P. and Strat. But the PRS is my favorite looking and sounding one. And easiest to play. Great guitar.

Hey brother, I am wanting to buy a guitar and this is one that I’ve had my heart set on. Unfortunately, they don’t really have any exposure beyond their own site. Would you say that this guitar is worth the price tag? Quality wise, is it similar to the martins and Taylor’s within that price range? I’m looking at the all wood version
@GuitaristGuyJames3 ай бұрын
I would get the non electric version and add a third party pickup of my preference. The guitars themselves are great. Not sure what price point they match up with against leading vendors like Martin and Taylor. The instruments are well made and play good. I personally use Maton acoustic guitars.

Hey Guy! Thanks for the video. So I have a S2 McCarty 594 10th anniversary edition coming to me. It has the American pick ups and electronics, the same as the core. In your opinion, for making the video, do you think that the core would sound basically the same as the S2 with the same electronics? Thanks!
@GuitaristGuyJames6 ай бұрын
The core I have is lighter and more resonant than the S2 I had was. The appointments of the core are just nicer all around. With the same electronics/pickups plugged in the mix I don’t the in no you’d notice a difference but the playing experience would be for the player.

The PRS S2's aren't remotely close to a real Core model PRS. I've using & loving PRS guitars since '91, way before the asian invasion SEs or the more beffudling S2 models. Anyway, thanks for telling the truth about the differences. Get tired of scrolling through a million posts like this: "Why the PRS SE is better than a Core American model", when everyone on the planet knows that's complete BS. The S2s are fine for what they are. Almost made in US, just a budget American.
