Ordered! No, of course I haven't!

[@user-lx7kl4sp2y]

Seeing how extremely carefully Pete is playing that guitar is hilarious! I dont blame him though :)

[@riccibungag4257]

Paul's 85 versus the Modern Eagle V. I'd love to see that shootout.

[@nikitadubrovskyi4050]

I think everyone would

[@joshb6384]

I’ve been watching loads of old videos and it’s great to see that you guys do just keep getting better and better in those intros!

[@chrisjs6123]

Bought a 35th anniversary core CU24 recently. I’d never even fancied a PRS before but this one just spoke to me. As a thing to play and look at it’s a revelation. All my other guitars now just seem a bit lifeless. The 24 is so easy to play and the pickups are full of rich harmonic overtones which on the edge of breakup are a total joy.

[@SamuelCrans]

Loving this friendability between the Captain and Pete

[@RichardSheehan]

It's a ridiculous price for a guitar, but my God, what a finish on it. That's a work of art.

[@wilfred2471]

As a student and proud owner of an SE, would love to see some more vids demonstrating the tones you can get from the more mid / low price Prs models with different amp and pedal combos

[@rileyioacura]

Pete the intro is divinity to my ears!! The tones my friend are delightful!!

[@RiotBadger]

I will never recover financially from this

[@smaug9617]

I was waiting for it ! Thanks a lot for this video !

[@andertons]

Enjoy! It's always fun plugging in a pair of PRS Private Stock Guitars 🤘

[@jorgeortizdiaz3794]

That jam was a thing of beauty. Amazing!

[@simonnotthepieman1581]

I'll stay humble and just be thankful for the TC Ditto+ looper pedal you sent me out today. I've been looking forward to those coming in stock.

[@amylou7991]

Remember to keep it in its box for at least 24 hours though. You don't want it cracking.

[@AnDPineapple]

The 4K looks incredible!

[@Flopster2632]

I got a strat last year in FEB from you guys and it’s fully Nitro I drove back to reading slowly increasing the temp in the car to try to make it warm slowly just because I couldn’t resist opening it and playing it as soon as I got through the door!!! After a year the neck has gone from slightly sticky to smooth and silky and fast it’s changed with me as I have played it and I bloody love it. I couldn’t buy a guitar for staring at, I’m a guitarist it has to be played and as it ages with you it just grows in character

[@stanislavmigra]

That magnificent feel, when all controls on guitar really works. Damn, I wish I will once have the scratch for these guitars.

[@paulvandergriff1746]

Beautiful guitars and beautiful playing

[@mobilestew9294]

Hey Captain! Love you playing man, sounds so good.

[@adriangonzalez7850]

Amazing playing! I was able to exercise and push myself while listening to your guy’s guitar solos at the end... what a rush!!!!

[@johno7617]

Happy new year! Great video

[@Xnebulae-Music]

i love your show guys thank you for doing this and share you great energy happy new year , and great music always much love from france

[@rileyioacura]

For me PRS are the dream guitar to have!! I love the look of the custom 24 with a roasted flame maple neck and zirocote fretboard (I hope I spelt that correct) but another store in the uk bought them all and I couldn’t ever afford one anyway but hey still got to aspire for one!!

[@aronisalman1308]

great sound..incredible clarity

[@Mrplaysschecter]

Wooohooo! Anderton's at high resolution finally!

[@jw112mail]

For all the people complaining of the price PRS makes an SE version of this guitar for less than $1,000.

[@sethgardner8209]

Prs make an se standard for £525 on Anderson’s but it is usually like £50 cheaper

[@mikeaaron2819]

Cort make the SE range not PRS so really they’re not actually the real thing. The design and name is there but not the quality. I played an SE once and it was pretty good but it wasn’t a PRS.

[@BAMozzy69]

Stunning guitars - sound amazing too...

[@leightnite3056]

Absolutely sweet exit jam, and those axe's...Damn!

[@eduardoantonini]

Mr. Lee I cannot thank you enough for investing in 4K cameras. Thank you!!

[@JimmyWatfordGuitar]

Great looking guitars. Great playing.

[@Daviddd10]

Cap, you always talk down your playing, but I think you're not as bad as you say you are! I just started playing about a year ago, but I think you're playing is really good and I aspire to get to your level one day myself and then beyond that! Happy new year to you and Pete and the Andertons team!

[@TheBrians]

This video reminds me of the old Top Shelf Guitars videos that Andertons used to do. I kinda hope they bring that back to be honest, it was nice to just listen to a really great player do nothing but play some really nice gear once in a while. I mean, I think I can speak for myself when I say that I've been inspired by the playing in those videos more than once! There's something about playing a *really* nice rig that just brings out some amazing playing regardless of if it's just a psychosomatic effect or not.

[@woodward_alan]

Sounds fantastic!

[@Sasa-mi3xd]

The sound...ohhh that sound...it mesmerizing me...beautiful piece of art really...greetings from Morocco 😇

[@Radical_Middle]

amazing guitar. I have gibson classic plus and after changing pick ups for two different Seymour Dunkans I enjoy similar sustain and tone.

[@MrHeliosoul]

Stunning!

[@Trattis]

Great video guys! These guitars both sound and look incredible, but they are completely out of reach for most people. It would be very nice to see a video demoing the more affordable alternatives in the PRS range of guitars. This would be very beneficial to those of us that can't afford the most expensive instruments so that we too can get an idea of what in the range we like and dislike in order to purchase the right instrument for us.

[@jdean5941]

Great video as always gentlemen, maybe consider putting the key, chord progression along with a couple scales in the description when you have a jam or a loop, lets face it at this point most of us just show up for the jams haha, keep killing it!

[@MatthewSemones]

seriously... amazing instrument, awe inspiring

[@MegaWimberly]

Lee your Jam at about the 17min mark is the best you've sounded and played to my ears. Its was really nice.

[@JohnMiller-td3up]

Noticed Captain reaching to the upper bout for the selector switch !

[@muaddib667]

extreme diminishing returns

[@jhonfelo]

The PRS to rule them all is the DGT, in my humble opinion. But this Paul's guitar is something else...

[@rcoveyduc]

I love the finish on this example, but while the pickups sound great I just can't get passed the look of them. Seem out of place to me.

[@StephenMorganCanada]

I love my DGT. But it doesn’t even rule my other PRS guitars, nor some of the other brands I own. Versatile as heck though.

[@jhonfelo]

@@anotheryoutube4635 I want one really really bad, they seem to be the exact middle ground between a strat and a LP.

[@jhonfelo]

@@rcoveyduc The level of craftmanship on this one stands out from miles away. Lee seems to be playing effortlessly and enjoying it a lot.

[@rcoveyduc]

@@jhonfelo Paul doesn't make a bad guitar imo. They might not be to everyone's taste, but the QC, build quality, and class are second to none.

[@DavidHunterChunkyRiffs]

Damn they sound good. Awesome playing as always 🤘

[@IamMusicNerd]

Reminds me of the sustain that Manson guitars have. Just holds a note forever.

[@hdconley]

Beautiful

[@RealmOfMelinoe]

You should have more pedal cams as during the video we don't have a clue. Think like That Pedal Show

[@andertons]

That's something we could look into... Perhaps setting up a GoPro over the pedalboards?

[@roanclawson4087]

[@Gaslight.Guitar]

Sick jam, sick guitars! One day i will ad a PRS to my collection!

[@melvynobrien6193]

Try before you buy. Make sure the pickup selector and pots are functioning properly; mine didn't.

@@melvynobrien6193 really?? That sucks. Was it an SE or a US made one?

[@sergethiriet3740]

Darn! A new dream guitar! 😳

[@jburdsinfuse]

The conversation between Pete and Cap is the equivalent of Ferris Bueller driving the Ferrari, "you really should try one if you can, they're so choice." No shit?

[@captk5535]

It’s guitars like that that begin the age old debate of weather you should leave it on the wall as an art piece or play as a phenomenal instrument. Absolutely incredible

[@ChristosAlexakos]

Lee: "Now that we are in 4k..." Me:*Watches in 240p*

[@KRayxKodessA]

I have a prototype Tremonti Baritone, and it's honestly a total case queen. It may not have been quite as pricey as these, but it was still more expensive than a regular Tremonti.

[@aduayer]

Won’t make comments about finish and details , it’s a PRS private Stock , so this kind of things are just amazing. Won’t talk about the price tag, it’s like a Ferrari , Porsche etc. But Paul’s guitar core is one of my favorite in their catalog and I love to see it coming with those non locking tuners . If I had the money, would get one for sure, since I don’t , I keep on saving to get a core line one

[@RJBeatlefan]

As much as Lee loves the blues, he really sets himself free in ambient settings where he isn't in a blues/rock setting. As if he has been liberated from the pressures of rocking out great pentatonic solos. I remember a fender alternate universe video where he plays a blue guitar and just shoots the roof off with his solo there.

[@passnaruto1787]

The way Lee went for the pickup selector in the normal LP location

[@tonybowen455]

Paul's guitar always sounds so great to me. This one sounded so good, I went and listened to the se paul's guitar. Over yt it sounds way better to me than a dgt, but I'll have to play them irl.

[@00Mones]

Can we please get a review of the Friedman JJ JR - it has benn lurking in the background for some time now.. Love you guys!

[@duanewelsh5611]

Wow! Those sound incredible. Tone 2 die 4.

[@ysaiyad]

I love lee s playing has he tried that Pulse metronome watch a lot of people are talking about now?

[@rileyioacura]

Damn they look amazing!! Oh yeah and so do the guitars 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Zolbat]

I wouldn't mind being given one of those... I'd play all musically on it too.

[@itsmekaaa9635]

Not all of limited editions go on walls! I know I use my signature limited as my go to for live gigs. It’s got a couple dings and scratches but whatever, it sounds great so I will use it! And yes these pickups are... REALLY REALLY GOOD!

[@melvynobrien6193]

A good Tele cuts the shit out of Pr turkeys live. Blurry humbucker crap.

[@viperBSG]

I used to own a 513 Rosewood. bought it brand new for $5,000.00 It was an incredible instrument. Played it through a VHT Deliverance D-120 they where like a hand in a glove man! were they good together. Im glad to have had the experiences of owning such equipment but wished now in hind sight i never spent that kind of money on them. ended up selling them to save my house.

[@amylou7991]

But if you had bought cheapo gear then you wouldn't have had the wherewithal to save your house. PRS to the rescue!!!

[@shanedeel2]

Captain whooped Pete’s butt on the opening jam!

[@josephsantana3094]

I only recently became a PRS fan but I was missing out previously. Everything they make from the SE Standard to the Cores and USA Pauls guitars are absolutely awesome and the best in any price bracket and I feel they offer the best versatility of any guitar on the market.

[@timfletch]

Love these pauls guitars....but..one of my faavorite things is those beveled pickup rings lol

[@larrydj549]

Sounds like you guys did some seriously good acid for that jamout

[@danielroumen760]

I'm normally towards Gibson Custom , but this one is awesome !!!!!!

[@BounceBoomBounce]

It's a beautiful guitar, but I'm with some of the other people on the pickup rings. They grab way too much of my attention and cheapen the look for me a bit. I think making them a little darker would help the wood even more. I do applaud them for trying to change up the look and shape of the pickups.

[@Bliggick]

That was a Danelectro opening jam played on top of the line PRS.

[@eezamanna20]

Getting around the channels this model

[@olafburgermann806]

Great playing. Even I could afford to buy this, I'd be too scared to play it for fear of damaging it or wearing it out.

[@memopinzon]

Those are the craziest flame maple tops I've ever seen on any guitar and even on any PRS.

[@jackzango427]

If you like those check out Brian Moore Customs and Carvin/Keisels. The Brian Moore's are crazy!

[@teknomanning]

Wow, just wow,that ending jam,so beautiful.And the guitars nice too

[@zero15388]

Lovely guitars and great lava lamp where can I get one of those?

[@alelollipop1903]

Can't imagine any working musician gigging with a 13k guitar, unless you're ZZ top or something... which is too bad because they do sound amazing 🤧

[@MrButterscotch1]

Depends who they are. Greenie is worth a lot more and Kirk Hammett still gets that out of the case.

[@benlogan430]

You can write that instrument off of your tax’s if you’re a gigging musician. Wealthy and gigging players will snag these I would think? I’d be working at a (loss) for that year if I had a guitar like this.

[@sandoncrowder7839]

I would never pay that much for a guitar, but if I was these are probably the only ones I would spend it on. The sound is incredible, the pickups sound like the best of the PAFs. I'm sure people will debate but this is probably the best sounding guitars I've heard.

[@kootenaystringworks1765]

"he's getting his lipstick out" THAT is funny stuff!!

[@benjaminnevins5211]

Wow, Lee, you were really ripping on a few riffs!

IMO it doesn't matter the price of the guitar, the only thing that matters is the feel you get from the guitar and the sound that the said guitar creates when you play it. With that said, the best guitar is the guitar with which you lose yourself when playing. When you play you just create music and you enjoy the sound whether it's clean, slightly distorted or heavily distorted. I found that guitar in Schecter Super Shredder Sun Valley PT-FR Sea Foam Green that I bought from Andertons store. Also the Fender Standard Telecaster is IMO an amazing guitar. Here you go! That's my 2 cents. Take care guys!

[@NacekO]

Now that was totally my jam in the beginning :) I really like the Captains playing.

[@torbenmeldgaard8112]

I love that guitar - But even more - I love that PRS really start to use nitro. I hate the thought that the body of my own PRS probably will look pretty much the same in 50 years

[@SouthpawSatch]

I'd love a Paul's guitar model but I'm left handed and you can't get them unless you opt for a super high priced custom shop build. I'd even take the SE version but PRS won't release a left handed version in that either sadly. Beautiful instruments though

[@michaelmiles6398]
