The Modern Eagle Prototypes | From the Archives | PRS Guitars

[@benlogan430]

You’ve gotta respect a company who’s boss really knows how the products are made and how to make them. A guitar company run by the person who made the guitars! PRS is a master builder and business person. And a very interesting guy. Like an old school/modern company.

[@RockyH.]

Yeah Ben I'll fully agree with you there it is truly a rare thing to see the main guy stay "the main guy"!

[@ileutur6863]

Wow now imagine if we applied the same idea to other companies and hold employers to a certain standard of knowledge. Too bad Americans would call that "literally communism" and reject it

[@flybynight1929]

@@ileutur6863 Paul payed all his employees throughout the Pandemic, because he's as loyal to them as they are to him. That would be considered by many as 'socialism' too, but it just makes you appreciate and respect Paul even more, and reflects so positively on him and the company.

Please Paul! Do more of these, the little details about the builds are fantastic.

Happy to see/hear Brian playing both at end of video...that Modern Eagle 1st edition ....man that sounds good

[@chuckshaw1593]

You guys really need to make more of these videos. I can't get enough of the history.

[@erik2446]

Love these videos. Having Brian demo them is awesome!

[@Mcfly0856]

Not only do they look stunning, they sound incredible too!

[@AT-uy7qn]

The ME 1 is one of the best looking guitars that I have ever seen from PRS , even the private stocks . Bring back that finish

[@ernierooi2551]

Wow. The colour on that first one is amazing. They both sound awesome. Brian Ewald as usual is a monster player .

[@guitarz]

Love these from the vault videos. Fantastic playing demo

[@ericcarpenter3263]

The guitars look and sound great but that may be my favorite playing by Bryan. The delay in there and he took it to a very Punk Floyd place. Loved it.

[@evansexton7807]

Those are awesome! I can’t even imagine having something close to those!

[@RobertKeeleyTV]

The outro music at the end was fabulous sounding! I had two of the Modern Eagles with Brazilian rosewood necks, really wonderful instruments.

[@BryanEwald]

Thanks in part to the ECCOS. L-O-V-E that pedal!!

[@SD-cl5mj]

Love PRS guitars, I have a 2018 zebrawood custom 24, love your guitars thanks for making amazing guitars

[@IamMusicNerd]

I never thought anything would surpass my core with 58/15 LT pickups, but when I got my Brazilian Wood Library Modern Eagle V, my jaw dropped. And then I plugged it in and fell in love even more. The Paul’s guitar TCI pickups in the MEV are far warmer than the 58/15 LT pickups, but that works really well for a lot of the stuff I play. And the 17 pickup combinations are super useful. It’s just a stunning guitar. Now those two guitars make up about 90% of what I play.

[@imacmadman22]

Both of those guitars are amazing and beautiful, I especially liked the Modern Eagle 5, the dark grey is just incredible.

[@B_Wolfen]

Love my Faded Denim '07 ME II. Thank you for bringing these to us.

[@sailormike1089]

Man, both those guitars got that strat vibe going with a little David Gilmour sound. Love it.

[@AlmostGrewMyHair]

I love the first one. The brass, cream plastics and yellowed nitro gives it an enthalling vibe.

[@RonnieVaiArovo]

PRS = The Best Guitar Company in 2023 🤟🤩❤❤

[@stevewargo4508]

AMAZING TOOLS THAT ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL FUNCTIONAL ART PIECES……AWESOMENESS DEFINED !!!!!!!!! 😊👍🎸💚🎸👍😊

[@AudioAtmos]

So nice!! It’s cool see Paul lusting after these guitars just like me.

[@vivekteega]

Beautiful!!

[@jerrymorgan1752]

I can’t wait for your factory tours to open up again. I’d love to visit you. And just maybe get my custom 24 would library signed.

[@HeavyBells]

I have the MEII prototype used in the catalog/promo photos. Great guitar!

[@weskaminski8927]

I go to local jam sessions, or host a recording session, and the other band members, customers just love my PRS guitars.

[@vauroux]

I've got one of those, Faded Blue Jeans, from June 2006, with the tremolo bridge, Brazilian rosewood neck and suede guitar case, bought new at the London Guitar Show in 2006.. Great guitar, real easy to play, great sound paired with my 1967 blackface Super Reverb and simple pedalboard.. As PRS says in the clip, a great, updated version of a vintage hb solidbody, my only PRS but I wouldn't have any other..

[@th3m1ke]

Classic, legendary model for the company. Love these glimpses into the past!

[@Turboy65]

I've always liked the Modern Eagles. Rosewood necks are truly where it's at. That ME V prototype is a REAL stunner. As a small time custom guitar builder, I can say that PRS has easily been my biggest influencer. If I were not so opposed to moving to MD, I'd have done so long ago and gone to work for PRS and made it my career. Because Paul's sense of aesthetics, tone, and construction are such a perfecdt match for my own. I've always seen his work and said, "Yeah, I like that. This fits my tastes and thoughts on how the guitar can be improved, very much so."

[@bulenterdem1977]

I wish I were a talented and promising guitar player and wish Paul Reed Smith himself approached me to discuss for building a great sounding guitar (by the way, they sure already sound unique). It would be such an honor and experience for a guitar lover. I love this company. Mr. Smith himself is also an excellent guitar player. My favorite PRS demos are played by him. God bless Paul Reed Smith himself and the company.

[@harrisfrankou2368]

So beautiful, I could sleep in that room and have food delivered for a week , nap, wake up and try more of these beauties...I'd wanna studio in there and write one theme for each guitar in how it inspired me compared to the others. These prototypes are just amazing functional works of art. Just breaks for sunlight...😎

[@DannyBrooks1]

Nothing beats a Modern Eagle 1

[@matthewpaluch777]

😎👍💓🇺🇸🎸 LONG LIVE PRS!!! RELIC FREE SINCE 1985!

[@hellisreal6755]

just wish the made a V

[@ianminogue-corps7472]

Love my Modern Eagle one, the washed denim has reverted to natural

[@CW0123]

Geez Paul thinking to add a pot switch and thinking about the middle pickup in relation to the humbuckers slugs is 🤯 Paul is an electric guitar engineer master

[@nufcsam354]

I am so lucky to own a ME1 in Europe. It's like finding hens teeth when one becomes available. Like Paul say''s Mccarty but thicker with more sustain and darker because of the Brazilian rosewood necks. IMO one of the greatest PRS's ever

[@gregs8685]

That is gorgeous. I have a faded whale blue McCarty that looks just like that, except for the one piece top and rosewood neck.

[@abellimages]

Glad I have a 2005 Modern Eagle 1 - Mine is great, and this one stomps the ME V, in my opinion!

[@WhaleBluePRS]

I have a '98 McCarty with a one-piece top in sunburst. One of the few guitars I've ever owned that was never modded in any way.

[@PaulCooksStuff]

"there are some wonderful little gems in here that I'd like to get my hands on" Me too. 🤪

[@pleasantlindsey33]

I would love to have a replica of that ME5, color and all.

[@docdaytona108]

It’s like a wizard turned the most comfortable pair of jeans you’ve ever owned into a top shelf instrument.

[@arnauddruon8512]

MEI is the pinnacle of PRS guitars

[@peteracosta744]

I just bought a 2015 Paul Reed Smith pauls Guitar… I wanted one and finally got one. If you haven’t played the Paul’s guitar… It’s very similar to the modern eagle

[@GraphiteandCigars]

I just can't imagine having access to that room....

[@rexgould]

Man I wish I could get one of those prs shirts

[@marcelinocastillo2871]

I’ve seen a lot of criticism against Paul , they say that his ego is bigger than life, they also criticize his guitar playing, c’mon, the guy is the biggest guitar builder genius alive and he is the best on what he does…my two PRS (core and McCarty) speak for themselves, they are the highest quality guitars you can get right now!

[@nelsonramos208]

You bought wood from my friends in Puerto Rico, which guitars did you make with our wood? The mahogany here is great!

[@vhcxhbvg]

God, imagine having access to all those axes

[@aidantalbot9495]

A great instrument should be being played; nice to have an archive but give them some good vibrations regularly

[@ScottsGuitar]

I played that guitar in 2004!! Paul brought it to my high school and did a really cool class on guitars. Showed us with his little Koch amp how the greats got their tones. It’s the reason I own a 2006 513 rosewood neck (couldn’t afford ME) played it today and most days still. Whatever you imagine in your head it sounds like. Yes. That neck was outrageous. Many nights I went to sleep thinking about it just confounded by how good it felt/sounded. Now I don’t have to anymore 😊

[@lordgraga]

That's a dream neck pickup sound, wow.

[@Canadianwheelchairguitar]

I LOVE everything about PRS guitars. I bought an S2 Custom 22 Semi-Hollow online in 2020. After obvious set backs between January 5-September 30 2020 my mid-life crisis guitar arrived! Everything was great until I played it. Turns out the Pattern Regular neck wasn't for me & made the guitar unplayable for me. Nobody's fault, just wasn't comfortable from day 1 until 15 months later when I sent it to a better home to be played.

[@gravelrocks5588]

Awesome video but why did you never release the sandblasted SE guitar versions to the USA only to Europe?

[@ljpuk]

😍

[@Woltide]

Paul said the word Strat! Haha

[@CatchMeOutside361]

Can you order a replica of that Modern Eagle thru the private stock? Like same specs… one piece top and all

[@richardnagamitsu1582]

Killing me guys, wow…

[@hellisreal6755]

Thank you for not selling relics. Can you start making Flying Vs ? Everybody else is !

[@flybynight1929]

Hey Paul, I've got 4 of your guitars, including two artist packages. Can I get a free T-shirt like those who work for the company? I have to say the selection of shirts available to us proud owners could be better. Plus it's free advertising and then some, because if anyone asks me about the company, I can't rave about it enough.

[@fandrimaulana976]

Alip bata sdh lebih mengenalkan gitar produk PT Cort. Dr gitar akustik dan skrg PRS nya. Kalian seharusnya memberikan reward kpd beliau. Tks

[@xrichalex1791]

Tienes archivada una máquina de esas? Me la prestas Paul Reed Smith?

[@Michael777Simmons]

I hope Paul reads the comments on this channel. My question for him is. Do you realize how many new guitar players there are in my demographic. I'm 60 years old. I know the kids are the ones that will carry on, but the old guys like me have the money. No one is building or advertising to me. Not one of 10 guitars I have purchased this last year are PRS guitars (I do have a Horsemeat pedal. Thank you That Pedal Show) it's not that I don't think they are good . There is no one trying to sale them to me. For the last few yrs my life has been about guitars and there are so many ppl just like me.....!

[@rampman8940]

That's It? No more eagles in this video?

[@mattier3030]

Hey PRS , please refinish my McCarty Spruce hbi that is clouding please. It’s crazy for me to pay 1500$ , I’d appreciate it if free considering how much this guitar costs. Also it was your guys fault … I do love the guitar but the cloudy finish is starting to get worse🤥
