You can like Paul or not, but he’s still one of the rare living guitar builder with his name on the headstock that still sells something other companies forgot for a long time now: He’s selling dreams. When you see his guitars, even without touching them or listening to them, you want to know more about them, you aspire to get your own too. This is what Fender Strats, Gibson Les Paul and such were back in the days.

Tim is one of those people who automatically brings a smile to your face. You'd be far fetched to find a musician that bleeds passion as he does. That's why he's a great, I feel like he provides nothing short of 100% initiative to make his playing great. Well anyway, it's special to watch that's for sure.

I’ve seen people rag on Paul for his interviews and other things, but I don’t look at it as over talking interviewers, but more as a guy that loves what he does and is excited or excitable to get his points out. There’s no arguing with quality of his products and his love for music. That Dragon guitar is something else, Tim’s is amazing but Paul’s is bigger

Tim, wow! Wonderful instrument and of course wonderful playing! I’ve been a Gibson man for 50 years. Last year I bought a PRS wood library 594 semi hollow, single cut (It looks like the blue guitar Tyler’s playing except mine’s in copper burst) and I’ve never been in love with a guitar so much is this one. It’s a dead ringer between the 335 & a LesPaul! Now if I can play as well as you, I’m 68 I’ll just be happy where I’m at, learning a bit every day.

I recently bought a PRS Hollowbody SE, and it is a delightful instrument. Paul Reed Smith has done us all a big favour by providing superb instruments at an affordable price, and Tim Pierce brings them to life. I love hearing him play; I’ve just got to plug in my guitar and see where I go.😊❤

I have had a PRS SE HB II for a year now and it has transformed my guitar playing life. No guitar makes you a better guitar player but it is inspiring to have one that plays so beautifully, sounds so great and lets you become as good as you can be without getting in your way. It's pure joy to play. Unbelievable quality for the money.

@JV-rx3ov4 жыл бұрын
Congrats Tim on the stellar new guitar! I have three PRS Private Stock instruments. Two that I ordered & a McCarty Graveyard II. I have owned or played guitars by most high-end luthiers for sale today. There are two builders that sit over and above the others and that is Paul Reed Smith and John Suhr. Opening the case on one of their custom guitars for the first time is indescribable. The level of attention to detail results in near perfect instruments, in my opinion. They pay close attention to what I, as a player, request. Although my requirements aren't too far outside of the 'normal', they're just specs that make me feel more comfortable as a guitarist. While the visuals of a PRS are stunning, it's the little things in it's build and functionality that makes all the difference. The pretty package is just a bonus.

@MrFourToTheBar Personally, I prefer them - smaller, more comfortable body shape, better quality fit/finish and playability (although as Tim will say, some may prefer to fight the instrument), more options (piezo and/or Coil Splits), solid wood instead of laminates which I think handles gain better (easier to control or mitigate feedback) and has the input jack in the right place - not sticking out of the front! I think if I was looking for a 335 body shape in particular, I would look at the the Collings I-35 Deluxe or even the Eastman - solid carved wood - not laminates steam pressed... I think the 335 is a fantastic instrument, but I don't think its the 'best' option - but some will insist it is because it has Gibson on the headstock...

Then I realized, I can have good habits and I've been practicing at least an hour a day since last week. Thanks for all your great videos! See you online in August.
