My dear friends, German history teacher here. Prussia was the largest state within Imperial Germany, stretching from the Baltic to the Rhine. Prussian blue is a standard colour, named after the Prussian army’s uniforms (unsurprising, since Prussia was (in)famous for militarism, described as an ‘army with a state’. Prussian militarism was considered a major reason for the rise of the Nazis, and Prussia as a political entity was dissolved by the Allies after 1945. More information available on the internet, or in your local library (if it’s still there}.

Prussian militarism also saved the British from defeat at Waterloo - oh how quick we are to forget what we owe to our European allies…

Was going to comment as well, but you beat me to it. Also the Prussian king was the one elected to be the ruler in a united German state back in the second half of the 19th Century. He famously neglected the post, as he opined that a king should not be elected. In the end he budged and became the German emperor.

You did forget to mention the name of the area comes from pagan tribes inhabiting the so-called Masuria lake district in nowadays north-eastern Poland (some of the tribes also lived in today's Lithuania and Latvia). Prussians were a subject of religious crusades from both Poland, Lithuania and the Teutonic Knights, who were sent there both by the Pope to force the Christianisation further (he unlawfully gave the knights some land possessions on the Polish territory) and were invited to settle by the request from Polish/Masovian Prince Konrad III Mazowiecki, whose lands heavily suffered from Prussian rides. Teutonic Order slowly but surely started taking over the lands, developing their state structure instead of Christianizing the pagans. Poland noticed that too soon as Teutonic invasions started disturbing the peace and tried to chop off some land parts. Overall it led to the biggest medieval battle (Grunwald1410), when Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth fought back the Order, which became the Polish vassal in the aftermath. Germans were never naturally present there, they only have managed to steal the land (thanks to the intense Vatican's help!) and stay there waiting for Poland to become weaker. When it happened, they regained their control over the area and this is the Prussia you are talking about in this comment. Hence, they not only stole the land but also its name. BTW, I'm a history teacher by the trade 😉😉

Ibanez semi-hollow and hollow guitars hit different! I also did a video on the AS113-BS and I have to say, the quality of these instruments is up there! The AS113 and others guitars in that price range such as the GB10SE also get the so called "Artstart Fret Edge Treatment" which is a process all Japanese made Ibanez guitars go through. I think that's a really cool feature from Ibanez there, especially considering the price-range. Cheers from Austria!

I can explain briefly explain Prussia and Prussian blue. Prussia was a powerful kingdom that had its capitol as Berlin. Berlin naturally became a center in Prussia for universities, medical centers and research. A scientist at the Prussian Academy of Sciences, Johann Leonhard Frisch, developed a blue pigment in 1708 that he initially called "Berlin Blue." By 1709 it was being marketed as Prussian Blue, since Berlin was the capitol of the Prussian kingdom. It became quite popular as a color and fun fact, Prussian Blue was extensively used in Hokusai's famous painting "The Great Wave off Kanagawa."

The as113 is really the as153 but with spruce top. It sounds mellow but maybe not as well defined as the 153's maple top. I would run get an as153 while they are still available.

@@fritsvanzanten3573 No. The AS113BS (2022) supersedes the AS153AYS (deleted). Both Indonesian production. Same price point price rises notwithstanding. Only difference is the top wood & top colour {Stained Spruce vs Flamed Maple) and pickguard colour. The AS153 pickguard (same colour as the top) looks odd/awful to my eye. Same hardware spec. Spruce top in theory may be a tad more mellow. I don't have both side by side here to compare. I did have an AS93FM AYS (colour introduced 2022) here to compare. I can say without owner pride or bias, nothing at all shabby about the AS113BS. Or the AS93 for that matter. I kept the AS113BS.
