Finally! I forgot that you mentioned you were going to get into a dissecting some commercially made guitars. All expectations have been surpassed. I haven't seen anyone on the internet anywhere do any kind of intensive inquiry like this and it will bring so much value to the whole guitar community so I must graciously thank you

Hey PRS people. For you $500 is called a mid-line guitar. But for many people $500 is called a major investment. No excuses for that sloppiness on the inside top. It doesn't cost more to just do it right. Thanks for keeping them honest, Driftwood.

[@Pleasestandby_bmx]

500$ is a week of work.. and not even a 40hr work week.. so no 500$ is not a major investment when you are working..

[@derrickd3gmail]

@@Pleasestandby_bmx Okay, so long as a person is working, $500 isn't a lot. Doesn't matter if the person is a student, or has a low paying job, or has a family to support, or has bills to pay. And anyway, PRS can make junk guitars, since everyone who buys them has a job and can throw away 500 on a piece of junk. Also doesn't matter if there's a slew of better guitars for the same money. GOT IT! Still not gonna waste my money on a PRS. Thanks for the info, though.

[@Pleasestandby_bmx]

@@derrickd3gmail just because you have priorities before a guitar, that doesn’t make it more or less.. 500$ is thought of in most states and even most country’s as vary little.. 500$ is again I say this a part time job worth of money in a week, sure priority’s come first, but 500$ is 500$ and it’s not an “major investment” amount of money.. it’s a beginner guitar amount of money lol

I own one of these and i will add this to it: 1. The case zippers are ok, the attachments to the zippers break easily. I think one of the 3 or 4 are left to pull on. 2. The pickup does a lot of heavy lifting for depth on it if you want to swing over to open mics or play for friends. I wanted a parlor and got a parlor. Definitely glad i purchased it

It sounds so strange to me for a Luthier to say "it doesn't sound great because it's a parlour guitar." I'm not a huge fan of the shape, but to imply they are automatically a bit inferior because of the shape and size. Kinda odd

You can tell he’s still fairly green to performance/production. That doesn’t mean he can’t still build a nice parlour despite lacking an understanding of how to use it!

[@PavelFomenkov]

A good catch. I think it's just a basic idea that only the big guitar sounds full, and all the little ones are baby toys. From this point of view, it's really not a good-sounding guitar, as much as any upright piano would never sound like a grand piano, but it's not the point.

[@raytristani]

I build pre-war style parlor guitars, quite a few of them. I’m not sure if you mean to say parlor guitars don’t sound great, because they are parlor guitars, or whether you mean that a fair comparison to a full sized guitar would be like comparing apples and oranges. But being “parlor” is not a detriment to the instrument in the least. There is a tonal quality to a well made parlor guitar that you just don’t get with a full sized instrument. And that preference by some has more to do with what the player is seeking tone wise. A parlor guitar isn’t a lesser guitar in the least. So I would say it isn’t a fair, general characterization of parlor guitars. Other than that, the craftsmanship on that top is atrocious and the review was great!

[@DriftwoodGuitars]

I agree. I’ve made a few parlors myself. I only mean that it’s not a fair comparison to a full sized guitar. No offense was intended.

[@raytristani]

@@DriftwoodGuitars oh I don’t think the guitar will be offended 😁 It’s a great review. I nearly cried when you dropped it and then cut it, but as a luthier I appreciate the fact that you cut it open and showed the world what a buyer gets from a mass produced instrument vs. a luthier made instrument. That was just sloppy and the fact no one ever bothered to voice it, it left a lot of guitar potential, unexplored on the table

[@DriftwoodGuitars]

100%

[@kellyshannon45]

I too appreciate these videos...though I’m still not sure how you scored tone. The top bracing is a mess of hastily thrown together crap. Parlours, and small bodies in particular have a real place in the spectrum beyond being children’s toys. Are you grading it 3 because it’s a parlour, or does it grade 3 in comparison to what a good parlour should sound like? And what about plugged in tone? PRS with on board electronics sounds like it’s aiming to be some sort of stage instrument. These vids are awesome, btw, but I missed your point here. I’m guessing it’s a 3 because it’s poorly braced, thickly finished with a tank like construction, mahogany top, lam sides, 14 fret join... what were they thinking? Yamaha makes a decent parlour, all solid in this price range, and the MacKenzie Marr Opeongo, at the same price without electronics, is all solid and exceptional.

[@superlead1002]

I agree that the top construction may not be to a builder's standards, however, I think you'd agree it would be exceedingly difficult, if not outright impossible, to build it better and maintain its current selling price.

[@rocinblues]

Great video, not reviewing 514 comments, but if mentioned before ... at 20:27 the drop test cracked the nut. That really stood out.

[@nopnj]

I have one of these and am very pleased with it. I would consider myself more of an advanced beginner in terms of ability. I traded in a Taylor GS Mini towards it as I felt that one did not fit my hand size as well. The PRS definitely fits me better. I would consider it to be a step up from the GS Mini for sure. Thanks for the review.

This is probably the first PRS guitar I genuinely like and don't think of it as overpriced bullcrap...they should be well known for their acoustics it seems to me xD

Funny that you should say that Dude. I played BOTH of these guitars THIS AFTERNOON. I went with the thought that I’d get the Taylor Mini too. Played with both and went with the PRS. I like….I LIKE IT A LOT. At the end of the day, the PRS works for me and as much as I enjoyed this review…..I don’t care. I really really like the new PRS and that’s all that matters. Cheers Buddy. Stay safe. Peace

[@BradBartram]

I love this in-depth review. What a true review should be. I was a bit surprised to see you didn't pull the fretboard to examine the neck construction. Given the performance of the strong tension test, that would have been a nice deep-dive. I mean, once you saw the body in half, what's pulling the fretboard at that point? lol

[@jmoffitt36]

I demo this and it's decent but ended up getting the Guild m240 troubadour and have no regrets sounds great for the size. The action is a little high and intonation off a few cents. It is perfect for slide. So I'm keeping it as is. Nothing a pro setup couldn't fix. I love the pickup.

[@zeeb0w]

Pretty cool review!

[@Condog86]

I just purchased one on sale for Black Friday. It's a sweet little guitar. I love playing it and I'm rather surprised at how it sounds. The stand out features are the ebony fret board and bridge, the cream binding, the nice gig bag and the sustain. I did lower the action some via the truss rod, but I consider that regular maintenance. Thanks for the great review of this funky little parlor!

[@chrism4948]

This video was extremely satisfying for me. I was is in the market for a small guitar last winter and was taken by the looks and specs of the P20. I already own an Indonesian-made PRS electric and find its build quality to be excellent. I didn't even flinch when I finally found an all black P20 and ordered it. When it arrived I found material sticking out of the sound hole. There was a gash under the sound hole and so I stuck a camera inside and was shocked to find the amount of material sticking out underneath the sound board and beneath braces. I'm quite certain that this would inhibit the sound board from functioning as it should - kinda nullifies the benefits of having a solid mahogany top, right? I couldn't believe that a PRS could leave the factory that way (and the dealer whom I bought it from didn't take the time to set the guitar up either. First time I played it the fingers on my left hand were black - no hyperbole) I sent it back and purchased a Mexican made Taylor from another dealer instead. Very happy.

[@natedunford3023]

When I got mine last year it also had a very high action. .140 to be exact. PRS wanted me to send it to check out and adjust, but I just sanded down the saddle and have had no issues since. I went from hating it to loving it. I think I’m currently sitting in the .80-.90 range if I’m remember correctly.

[@royhsieh4307]

based on those number its big difference..

[@stevescuba1978]

I had a PRS shipped from jersey to New Mexico, and the action was too low. I couldn't play anything past the 14th fret. Added a small strip of mahogany (maybe .080") and got it perfect. Now, I have moved the Florida, and I will be sanding that mahogany strip back off the bridge to lower the height back. I knew humidity could make the wood move, but I was surprised at this.

[@frankmccreary9050]

Nice review. I'm a musician from Maryland (home of PRS) and I play a lot. I actually own two of these guitars now and I kind of consider them "disposable" (because they're cheap). But I do love the way they play once you adjust the truss rod a little bit. I can tell you from experience a couple things that may help. The tuning pegs are problematic and break on a regular basis. PRS will send better tuning pegs as needed. I have needed that on both of my guitars. The gig bag is nice but the stitching is actually NOT very good. Both have torn at the top of the part where the arm straps come together. Parlor guitars are certainly midrange instruments but you can EQ them to fill things out a bit. I generally use a TC Electronic BodyRez pedal through a Fractal FM3 and get plenty of workable tones.

[@ironrain1x]

The tuning pegs that come with this guitar was terrible. I couldn't put in a new guitar string because one of the tuning pegs couldn't hold the string tension and kept letting it go. It ended up putting in cheap locking tuners for about 30 USD and it's been fine so far. For reference I change strings for classical guitars, electric guitars, saz baglamas, and ouds. So I'm not a newbie in that regards.

[@preachtheword2day]

Fantastic series. Thank you. When I watch the ball bearing 18 inch drop test, it might bring increased accuracy if the guitar was securely anchored somehow so that the inevitable rocking of the guitar body doesn't deflect some of the impact. This would remove the rocking movement of the guitar as a variable. Again, great series. Keep up the good work!

[@stickmanmusic5840]

Interesting observation, but then in the real world, would the guitar be anchored if something dropped on it like that?

[@ReelDealOutdoorsStories]

Painfully wonderful review. Can't wait to see the leaderboard 👀

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Thank you for this excellent breakdown video. I am a beginner acoustic guitar player, and was considering this exact guitar because I really enjoy the sound and size of a parlor guitar, especially this one as I have seen it reviewed on other KZbin channels. I have played on a Taylor GS mini, and like that one a lot and I also like the sound and size of the Baby Taylor. Anyway I was hoping you were going to touch on the bridge pins as this particular model is notorious for having a very poor bridge pin design in the way they are countersunk and glued onto the body which make them extremely difficult to remove when you want to change the strings using a pin remover which can't get under the pins. I was told you need to use needle nose pliers which nick and marr up the pins themselves. Also I have heard from more than one person that the tuner pegs snap off if you look at them funny, and are very cheaply made.
