Wonderful! Now we just have to wait for a couple of years for the SE version!

Nope. I'm finna sell some stuff.

[@sebbo1496]

have you never heard of sire, harley benton, squier etc etc? ;P

[@revelationsoundstudio]

No SE unless the sales are good on this one?

[@ianbrown1474]

+1 for an SE

[@Scott__C]

It was 4 years between Silver Sky and the SE version.

[@slim1893]

The price is simply ridiculous. Pete is a world class player; Lee's getting better in every jam.

[@Lez325]

I agree a decent Fender for less

[@pharmerdavid1432]

I doubt these are going to sell well. Without the pickguards they would look better, and if he made them in Korina and sold them for under $1,000, like the Korina One and singlecut from the 2009-2012 era, then they would sell well - I'd buy one!

[@Zarphag]

@@pharmerdavid1432 they'll do an SE version in a year or two

[@michaelsmith2785]

It's no different in price from a Silver Sky, and significantly cheaper than a Core. And I'm sure there'll be an SE eventually.

[@racerx3065]

@@michaelsmith2785 the SS is more around the £2.5k range.

[@SeanZetterlund]

I'm sure they're well-made and will make PRS a shit ton of money, just can't shake the feeling that these look a little odd and I'd rather just have a Tele. simply not for me, hope everyone that buys one genuinely enjoys their purchase though!

Of course they’ll do, they don’t need your approval 🙂

​@@colinrobinson9674worthless comment award for sure here 🙊🤤

[@thedoodl38ug]

I agree, i was genuinely shocked how undesirable they are, in my humble opinion the colours/finish are bland for PRS, the neck is way too light a colour for it too, perhaps it will look better with a dark fretboard and different colours. They also have "cheaper" look to them for a £3,000 guitar, i thought they were a new SE range for under £1000!

[@Turbo-D]

@@thedoodl38ug well said sir! 🙏🎸

[@briangilstrap5244]

These new PRS T style guitars are great. but that purple Tele he pulled out, just has a vibe to it, sounds so good

[@PrisonerD]

Agreed - straight away the Tele had the sound. The PRS sounded better than I had expected though and seems great.

[@stringlocker]

Fenders making great guitars nowadays. The American ones are a bit pricey but they are as good as any guitar out there. They didn't used to be but they finally came along.

[@tarZenization]

The Fender smokes the PRSes, not even close.

[@elevenAD]

They sound nothing alike lol, one sounds like a tele, one sounds like a dual p90 guitar! That PRS rocks way harder than the Fender and the Fender twangs way harder than the PRS. Ill buy one when they make an SE, for $3000 i want something pretty!

[@talkychris]

​@@stringlockerFender has been making great guitars for 70 years. Sure, some decades have not been as good as others. But they know a thing or two about putting together a great guitar with feel and tone.

[@mhw6160]

Lee is spot on here, it is very similar to the G&L ASAT special with MFD’s. But that one is £449 not £3100 😂

[@MrPhotonjockey]

The Indonesian Tribute is at that price point, the USA made ASAT is considerably more. Still only 2/3 the PRS price.

[@Jeb_binch]

I want to love it but… a Fullerton Deluxe ASAT Special is a thousand bucks less and comes with a hard shell case. That answers a lot of the same questions more effectively imo.

[@thebaneofyourexistence.3377]

Came here to say this.

[@WilliamJOHNSONJR]

Yep ... I'm thinking this PRS thing, will (for those not drunk on PRS Kool Aid) generate a lot of interest in the G&L ASAT Special, with the jumbo MFD's (and half the cost... both Amurrican made

[@Turbo-D]

@@pads-zr9ln fender?! who cares 😂🤷

[@LLVG83]

When I bought the Silver Sky I compared it to a €4500,- Custom Shop Strat and it played and sounded similar. What I don't get is why the NF 53 is more expensive then the Silver Sky or the S2 Vela.

[@cesarherediaaguirre4419]

Get an ibanez AZS then

[@Online_Lawyer_UK]

​@LLVG83 I think they want their investment back but aren't expecting this not be anywhere near as popular as the Silver Sky. I love Myles but don't have him anywhere near the thought process if you ask me to name influential guitarists. JM however is right up there for a lot of people.

[@Krullmatic]

You fellas killed it on that jam! I bet playing on brand new guitars you've never played was an inspiration. Nice job my dudes!

[@enlat2003]

Have been waiting for this guitar, though at that price tag... I'll be waiting a little longer until an SE version is released :( Stunning looking guitar and Myles Kennedy is such an underrated guitarist who truly deserves his own line of guitars.

[@seetherryan1]

A must have for me. I love Myles and alter bridge. Been waiting along time for a Myles signature

[@revelationsoundstudio]

I'm glad PRS did not just make a Tele clone. It's not as thin and bright but it had some character of a Tele. Love the tummy cut and slight bend where you arm rest.

[@WilliamJOHNSONJR]

But doesn't the Vela already do that ?

[@TWMTWM-eb1lw]

Well, yes. When they mentioned it, it does sound like a G&L ASAP Special. I own one and I have always said G&L doesn't get enough credit. I'm sticking with it.

[@bassmandudge]

Trust me when the hype of a new PRS dies down... so in about 30 minutes, real guitar players, using their own money, would not pick this over an ASAT unless they are just so brand blind as to be ignorant....one of my best mates bought an ASAT from Andertons, it is an incredible sounding guitar, butterscotch with full flame maple neck, hardcase all for £1200... So I agree with you...I think they are fantastic guitars and incredibly under rated.... And who the hell drops £3k on a bolt on basic, wrong shape Tele rip off....utterly crazy

[@WilliamJOHNSONJR]

Yep... I'm thinking for about half the price , the G&L will womp it... and the G&L is genuine Fender (not FMIC)

[@bassmandudge]

@@WilliamJOHNSONJR as I understand it when Leo set up G and L it helped him to implement and improve on all the things he didn't like on the originals....or at least that is what I have been told. So by its very nature it has to be an improvement in Leo's eyes...I can only tell you on the day he purchased the ASAT we must have tried 20 teles...US and mexican...none of them came close to build and sound quality of the one he bought. The PRS fan boys will lap these up ...but I simply can't get over the price...it's bloody ridiculous.

[@tisbonus]

When Pete said "Yeah, I'm being picked up" in response to Lee, I spit across the room laughing. HE didn't miss a beat. I think Pete is getting another present in purple, isn't that right Paul?

[@rafalstachura]

Pete's purple Tele sounds really good.

[@johnriley1536]

The NF-53 with the Dane was one hell of a sound. Thanks for the demo and Happy New Year

[@robertmoore2720]

[@mattmanley7118]

Interesting! Myles is an incredible singer for sure! It’s been awhile regrettably since I’ve seen what he’s up to! Besides where I first heard him being Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators!! Amazing of course! ❤ Vocals for DAYS!!!

[@halstonhilburn]

Should not have pulled out the purple tele…. Instantly was like, yup I’ll just grab the tele.

[@MrPrincepop]

I just finished watching Paul and Myles video on these models. Had to jump here at Andertons for their take on these T type PRS.

[@jeffs.3533]

Your videos are addictively awesome. Keep it up!

[@christianboddum8783]

The G&L was the first thing that came to my mind too! I think the picups remind me of the MFD P-90 sized ones.

[@mikelundquist4596]

At first glance I prefer the G&L.

[@jordancyphers]

I don't love or hate the way they look (feeling pretty middle of the road, to be honest), but I do appreciate the fact that they aren't just a blatant Tele copy. It's obvious they are Tele inspired, but not a straight copy.

[@blakeanderson7906]

Sounds good! Nice work PRS! Rock on 🤘!

[@mikeaustin4138]

I've owned 2 ASAT Specials and they're great guitars. (Still own one.) They're at least $1,000 less than these guitars so, unless you're a PRS groupie, get a G&L and spend the rest on pedals. IMHO.

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

Position 4 on Mile’s guitar would be the reason I would buy it!

[@MrTylero28]

The bridge is a what prs uses on the vela guitars. I love it. I actually built a Hardtail mustang style guitar with one. Also very reminiscent of the mastery bridge typically seen on offsets like jazzmasters and jaguars

[@riptide6161]

God those guitars sound beautiful. Thanks guys. I can't afford any of them but it's so nice to hear them getting slung around.

[@SomeKindOfMadman]

Hot damn! It’s about time, I love Tele’s, and welcome a PRS T type guitar.

[@MrPhotonjockey]

I’ll wait for the S2 or SE version…. And probably still won’t get one. As Lee stated, you can get a G&L with the same sort of bigger sound for considerably less.

[@tonychen3368]

The GAB2100C-9A is such a cool looking watch, once again congratulations to Paul and his team on both guitars, terrific sounding indeed!

[@marziograva]

Miles is an amazing artist and songwriter, really. Top lad!

[@vileindividual]

I was on the fence initially because I really don't like how they look but when I heard the price i was definitely off the fence and firmly into "why not just buy a decent fender tele instead?" camp. No way would I drop nearly $5000 AUD on that when I can get a good tele from fender for more than half that price (with nicer finish options imo). Hopefully there's a SE version down the line with some more 'traditional' finish options.

[@ScarletSpeedster997]

Completely agree. Doesn't even come with a hardshell case (only a gig bag). I'd much rather spend $2200 on a Telecaster Ultra. Not completely sold on the look of these guitars either.

[@jeremyversusjazz]

Totally. Im sooo over prs. I hate the silver skys too. Years from now no one will want these.

[@justnik8727]

$5k, no way in hell would I pay that money for this. Lots and lots of options at that price point.

[@sordel5866]

First generation of a new PRS shape is going to be sold out for a while so why should PRS leave all the profit to the secondary market? We'll see a (comparatively!) budget range eventually.

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

They look really similar to the T-style guitars that Bill Asher hand builds in California (which are about the same price). I think it would have worked as an S2 or SE design, but the price is crazy for a mass produced guitar.

[@Adipsia1]

And without a decent case.

[@steveeason2207]

So, about half an hour ago, I watch the official PRS Myles Kennedy release video. I’m thinking I need to head over to the Andertons channel, as I’m sure Pete is going to be all over this!! I think we need to petition PRS to bring out the Danish Pete signature version.… Who’s with me?

[@jonhenson1148]

I think Chapman might raise some sort of objection to a PRS Danish Pete sig

[@allenmitchell09]

The trend lately has been artist having multiple sigs from different companies. I know it’s more high profile players though.

[@ClintsGuitarsNGear]

Honestly I think there would be at least a hundred much more famous and well known guitarists who would make more sense than Pete don't you think? Pete's only known on KZbin.🤷🏼‍♂️

[@steveeason2207]

@@ClintsGuitarsNGear I’m on sense yes. But Andertons sell millions of pounds worth of guitars annually. A proportion of those are PRS, the captain, Pete and Paul have a good relationship so it would be a good PR Stunt to bring out a Danish Pete sig model. Plus Pete is known for wayyy more than just KZbin.

[@allenmitchell09]

Rick beato got a sig Gibson and he’s a KZbin guy. It just has to make money for the company.

[@arnigrittar4959]

Great videos always! I would like to know from which song Pete is playing the riff at 14:08 and 14:22. sounds somehow familiar, but I couldn’t figure out from which song it is, neither could my guitar teacher. Thanks for helping me out. BR Arni

[@ArtDonna84]

I'm a hardcore fan of Myles Kennedy and Alter Bridge, and recent convert to PRS owning 3 of them now, but the Fender Tele vs. the PRS comparison left me still in love with the Fender Telecaster. UPDATE: right after I watched your video and sent the above, I watched the PRS video with Myles Kennedy playing his Signature model and WOW, what a difference in tone. Sorry gents, but Myles rocked it and did a fantastic demo. Still love you both :)

Guys that bridge setup is used in their Velas. Have been for years.

[@Plexi417]

And they’ve reviewed the Vela on their channel! 😂

[@furbymetal83]

I dont know what to think. To me, they look like a slightly clunkier version of Godin's Artisan/Stadium models, but with a heftier price tag

[@DbeeSapphire]

Pete’s purple Fender has custom Monte pickups that duplicate the guitar’s original pickups. I bought a pair of those Monte pickups for my 58 replica. Damn nice sounding.

[@jamesnelson1443]

I simply love that the CONTROLS ARE OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!!!

[@beanapalooza6614]

Those pickups are kinda like the Kingfisher SE bass pickups. Look like humbuckers but are singles with the dumy coil added for nosie reduction

[@TurfShifter]

Reasonable price. I am of course joking. It also looks like they have made a Telecaster from memory; looks are always personal choice but to me it looks off.

[@jfinester]

I like the way they look. I was hoping they’d sound a bit more Tele-like. I have a PRS Brent Mason model that sounds more like a Tele than these do. I was sorry to see that model discontinued-they made it maybe a year. I glad I got one!

[@recub13]

It has the prs s2 Vela tail piece. The s2 Vela is half the price and amazing.

[@Plexi417]

Yeah everyone (including Lee who has reviewed the Vela!) is acting like they’ve never seen the bridge before.

Hark! Pray lend thine ear, forsooth, to this tale I do unfold. A jest, perchance, doth make mine eyes behold. Three grand, a sum so great, demanded for a mere guitar, 'tis but a mockery, akin to jesters' laughter echoing from afar. What maketh this six-stringed wooden creation wortheth such a princely ransom? Doth it sing with the voice of an angel or possess enchanting powers akin to a wand? Nay, 'tis but a vanity of men, who deemeth its worth by naught but their whim. Forsooth, let not thy pocket bleedeth dry, for there are treasures greater, awaiting thee by and by.

[@AndyInTheUK]

Interesting comments. Looks like most people are not fans. Love my Custom 24, but it can't do the tele thing, and to be honest, it doesn't sound like a Strat either. Need a Silver Sky for that. I think I won't get a Silver Sky but this T-type does appeal. One of the problems PRS has is that the guitars are all a bit too visibly gorgeous. I quite like the understated - it's just a guitar - styling. Must try one.

[@emilong]

I've wanted to see what PRS would do with a Tele for years but I'm not that excited about this particular take on first glance. Just kind of a big meh.

[@Full_Deflection]

I really don’t understand why they’d go with a dual humbucker setup. The charm of a Tele is that single coil bridge twang. Id have a hard time justifying an extra $2,000 to get this over an FMT HH from Fender if that’s the configuration I wanted.

[@bassyey]

Man, just get an American Professional II, comes with a molded case. Paul is delusional to not even include one in these price ranges.

[@christerdehlin8866]

If I could choose between anything that was played in the room, I'd go for the purple tele. The PRS models don't seem bad, but I'm not convinced they're worth the price, especially not the signature model. If I were to buy a tele I'd probably go for an Ultra from Fender.

[@eliju420]

It's almost like a tele for someone who doesn't 100% want a tele. Not bad, but I definitely liked the purple tele more. And if I didn't want to play a tele I'd reach for my Special 22 or Custom 24. I guess this is good for someone who wants something that's more like a tele, but a little different.

[@emulgatorx]

Their R&D department has done it again after already inventing the Les Paul (245), the Strat (Silver Sky) and recently the Klon overdrive (Horsemeat). Now I can finally get a 3.5k Tele that replaces every bit that makes a Tele cool (giant straight cut pick guard, slim rounded headstock, straight chrome control plate, oversized steel bridge, powerful sparkly bridge pickup with heavy base plate) and sounds almost as good but not quite.

[@mdtrx]

That purple tele... Nothing compares. But PRS is always gold as well, really like the Myles one.

[@Jonnydrums413]

The purple tele sounds soooo much better lol

[@SirVicc]

Nothing there that would get me to exchange a Tele for that.

[@TomSJazzBass]

Coming in having watched the PRS vids I wanted the MK with the 53 pups. Hearing this I just want the MK!!!!! That thing sounds mental!!!!

[@miaoleman8605]

T styles used to be my second fav after les paul style guitars but tbh they might be edging out the lp in terms of preference. Anyway thats a long way to say im so excited they finally released a t style. Gonna have to sell my soul for one of these

[@JoeButler02]

I think it's interesting how the bodies are actually slightly different. I don't think they're priced too bad for PRS. They sit in the right area in their line up. Silver Sky, Fiore, CE models are all roughly there.

[@hchoe741]

Yea the upper horn and body contour seem slightly different. Maybe to fit Myles body better?

[@charles9487]

I was wondering the same thing. The 53 is slightly offset in shape.

[@c0smicC0wb0y]

I really love PRS guitars, and where they did the Silver Sky so right, they really dropped the ball on this one. The body is is alright looking (the blue and green paint-jobs are pretty underwhelming). I'd bet money the bridge is gonna be problematic with intonation over time. The pickups are kinda terrible IMO. Way too round and warm for a T-style. Where's the chime/jangle/sparkle/snap? I'm not a Tele purist, but... coil taps? I mean... come on guys. Worst of all is the price tag, 2800-3k is astronomical! You can get a top of the line Fender Tele for that price! I get that one of these is an artist model, and I guess that's fine? I don't see this one going over well with the PRS fans that were hoping for a T-style in the same vain as the Silver Sky - missed the mark.

[@rockinfreakappotomus]

I don't think I'll bet getting one, but I like it. Looks more like a Knaggs than a tele to me. When does Danish Pete get a purple one?

[@davroshalfbeard8368]

What ever you think about prs they do make some well finished precise instruments .took me a long time to like the silver sky lol .cool trainers Pete.

[@spearmintvole9522]

I’d never buy another. Your mileage may vary.

[@thrumyeyesphoto]

$3000 for what is a pretty simple guitar seems excessive. Not sure why it would be anymore expensive than a Silver Sky.

[@Matt_on_life]

3 grand is too damn much! Also Not digging the aesthetic either, but I felt that way about the silver sky as well and now I like it 🤷‍♂️ Just got a squire offset tele and it fully scratched that itch, thankfully…

[@richardhowell9535]

The price is insane. You could get an ultra luxe and a Used JV for that price. Nuts.

[@rustyshackleford9557]

Most folks need 3000$ in guitar lessons a lot more than they need that guitar.

[@samoppedisano3994]

Great sounding guitar, but I am missing the high end sparkle in the bridge. Anyone else?

[@Russell_Optics]

I have the PRS S2 semi-hollow Vela that has the same bridge , a set neck, as well as locking tuners and it was almost 1/2 the cost of these. It makes no sense to me why these cost so much more than the Vela. The Vela is an excellent guitar with equal or better features.

[@harrymunden7905]

Love my Vela, they definitely don’t get enough love

[@Tiptronics]

Because paul is arrogant AF - and believes the rhetoric he has spun about any guitars he makes being the best. He has seen boutique builders increasing pricing (mostly because of increased costs on the size of their business) and believes his guitars are worth more now with the inflation. It’s greedy gouging AND these are ugly to boot. Here’s the thing - 90% of guitar tone snd feel can be perfected by hardware and pickup swapping, and a proper pro setup. As long as everything is made out of a solid metal (not cheap chinesium or copper) and as long as you have a decent quality pickup (iron gear are good enough) The last 10% is material quality from the rest of the guitar. Here’s the thing - that quality doesn’t have to look good. People obsess over fancy woods because they look good but in reality - you’re just looking for a hard well cured wood. That’s why roasted is actually a good pick. All it’s doing is supporting the string’s resonance. And if you play with gain - the last 10% doesn’t matter. To answer your question These are not worth the money

@@Tiptronics The neck actually looks weird to me being so "white" because are not roasted. Very good point. Not only are roasted necks better quality, but they look nicer as well. I just purchased a new Vola Vasti M3 that is superb. Made in Japan, locking tuners, intonated S/S saddles, and flawless fit & finish all for $850 direct. The neck isn't roasted, but well-cured hard maple.

@@Russell_Optics most of my maple necks are roasted, but I do enjoy a plain maple. I have a cheap kramer with an actually incredibly rock hard plain maple neck - looks great for that 80’s style. The colour is definitely a taste thing, the trend has definitely gone towards darker necks as a sign of quality - but i can see blonde necks coming back

For the same reasons that a Core Custom 24, or McCarty 594 costs twice what their S2 equivalents cost . It makes no sense to me that it seems so difficult for people to understand. Look at what goes into the Core line vs the S2 line.

As a tele person, I now understand why so many strat people hated the Silver Sky when it launched. I'm not a PRS person (and I've tried) but typically I acknowledge they are fundamentally aesthetically pleasing guitars. These however.... At least the pickups are interesting.

[@StupidGuitar]

These however… look dope. Finished that for you

[@GitShiddy]

@@StupidGuitar Book an eye appointment.

[@StupidGuitar]

@@GitShiddy don’t need one. Had one last week and they’re better than average. Thanks for looking out for me bud. It’s always funny seeing ignorant trolls sad attempts at trolling.

[@GitShiddy]

@@StupidGuitar Mate you responded to me. I genuinely don't like these guitars aesthetically. Which isn't a rare thing & is wholly subjective. You were compelled to "add a pithy comment", I did the same. There's literally no trolling here. It's a back & forth.

[@StupidGuitar]

@@GitShiddy I finished your sentence for you. Literally no trolling… kid you told someone to get an eye appointment. What a clown.

[@blindianajones]

That price is...well, pretty darn bold in this market. So many options at that price point. While Im sure the PRS feels nice and comfy, I can have 2 high quality teles for the price of this guitar (especially when buying used).

I''m now curious about the Myles version
