PRS Guitars USA Factory Tour: Stevensville, Maryland

[@miaoupha2370]

We are so lucky that PRS exists. Top notch quality guitars.

[@guitarlusteuphoria4507]

It's nice that Paul himself is fully engaged in the making of his instruments.

[@MisterTee]

Yes, they are quite good

Whoever filmed/edited/rendered this video did first rate work... the audio is particularly superb.

[@gunshow86de]

I've watched so many factory tours over the years, this is easily the best one yet.

[@lieutenantdan2217]

Proves that anything prs releases is quality

[@JoeCubicle]

Video editor here. I have told countless numbers of people that the audio is way more important than the video of a quality production. You can have many video editing mistakes forgiven if the audio is good/great.

[@_RLP]

Agreed. Great, great tour video.

[@natfingerboard]

@@JoeCubicle I'm not a professional video editor but I'm a music producer and an "audio/visual content" enthusiast, and I agree 100%, good, clear, well-leveled, mixed and mastered audio can make mediocre footage not only bearable but very enjoyable, especially for voice-overs like this.

[@andydillard2089]

I grew up in Stevensville Maryland where they make those amazing guitars, I bought a SE for my Nephew who graduated the Air Force Academy and then went on to become a F-16 pilot, Paul was so kind to sign it to him and and congratulating him, I just bought my first one a SE A40 acoustic, what an amazing looking and sounding guitar, thanks to the whole team at PRS!

[@prsguitars]

Thanks for the love, Andy!

[@TheFirstStater]

I was lucky enough to tour the factory with Mr. Higginbotham leading the way. Amazing the amount of artistry and craftsmanship that goes into each guitar. I don't play a note on a guitar but was very appreciative of the skill and love that goes into each guitar.

[@TheFirstStater]

@JTheGuitarPlayer Believe me, I've tried. I wish I could but my fingers just don't listen.

[@jordandupont7430]

Jack gave me a factory tour back in June and this man treated me like gold. Absolutely no reason to but I felt truly valued and was fascinated with his depth of knowledge and passion for the manufacturing process. The whole experience was wonderful and absolutely galvanized me as a PRS fan for life. Thanks for that experience and for this video. Merry Christmas, guys!

PRS puts gibson and fender in the mud

[@jackbinkleymusic]

@@RUARI-mi1yt personally I still prefer my Les Paul custom 57 to my 594 single cut.But they do combine the best of both worlds giving the tremelo and fingerboard radius of a fender with the Gibson-esqu headstock, rosewood and mahogany. They definitely are interesting guitars and personally I love the finishing. Especially the whale blues and faded colors.

[@bradwilliams6550]

I worked at the Gibson guitar factory in the late 90’s and played Gibsons for about 30 years. I got my first PRS in July, haven’t touched my Gibsons since.

[@evannorth5397]

I have had the same experience. Gibson all the way for years and years until I tried a custom 22, added a mccarty and a hollowbody ii since and never gonna look back!

[@HooksBill]

Watching this video, I thought about how satisfied I am with my violin amber sunburst PRS CE24 hanging before me on my wall. I've played it three times today alone and it probably won't be the last. It's a guitar you just don't want to put down. It feels great, it looks great, it plays great and it performs great. What more could you ask from a guitar maker? PRS has achieved greatness. They've earned it. With all that I still had no idea just how much scrutiny these guitars were under making their way out the factory doors.

[@kylemyers8415]

Me too. I love this company

This is amazing. I love when companies showcase their pride in a product.

[@cliess]

'96 Customer 24 owner here. Can tell you that even back then, the guitars were made with love. It plays like an absolute dream, and still looks as amazing today as it did nearly 25 years ago when I bought it from a little shop in Windsor, Ontario.....

[@ltuomela]

I picked up a PRS 13 years ago and never looked back, it just feels like home and plays like butter i love it..

[@prsguitars]

Thanks for the love! Glad you found THE guitar for you.

[@SamGlasser]

Had always wanted a PRS, from the first time I saw one, The quality was dripping from those on display. Just bought one after several decades of drooling,. SO beautiful and so nice to play.

[@cplaw3]

Was on the fence about buying a Les Paul or a 594...went with PRS. Right out of the box the McCarty fit and finish was superior and the thing just felt like it was made personally for me. Great guitars

[@funkyjones]

The quality of this video is tantamount to the quality of their guitars. Very well documented.

[@RH-5482]

I've been a Gibson guy for over 40 years, but I have to admit, my 2009 CU24 has been the most stable guitar I have ever owned. It feels solid, comfortable to play and rarely goes out of tune.

[@jasonardesch8424]

I got my PRS CE24 in Blue Matteo on 2/7/2022 mine was made on 12/9/2021 and I love it!! My dream guitar it definitely plays amazing and this video made me finally decide to buy one last week!! The best decision I’ve ever made thank you PRS your team is the best! 🎸😍✌🏼

[@kristopherdetar4346]

I might own an American made PRS someday if I sell my 6 Indonesian PRS guitars. They do it right in that factory because each one of the 6 Asian built PRS guitars I own are very stable and stay in tune year after year. If they sit in the case for months I can pull one out and it is still in tune according to my electronic tuner. That is fantastic in my opinion. Keep up the great work PRS !

[@audiophileman7047]

PRS is setting the standard for well made guitars. It is truly a team effort with a great deal of forethought and attention to detail. Building one of the best guitars in the world has just got to be a satisfying experience for the builder and the player. 👍👍👍

[@fkarlh]

Took the tour in Nov 2019. Incredible. These people love what they do and take pride in their work. I pre-ordered an S2 CU24 35th ann. Can't hardly take the waiting. If you have a chance to take the tour ... do it. After watching a bunch of video tours like this one, seeing it in person was that much more special!

[@timjonesguitar]

Great video. I've been playing for 38 years since I was 12. Always played Les Pauls, SG types, but never even held a PRS guitar in my hands. When the 2024 S2 Custom 24-08 came out it had all the specs I was looking for and I decided ordered one. Hands down the best guitar I've ever played and haven't picked up my other guitars since I received it. I just fits me, like it was custom made for me. Many other guitars were very close to what I wanted, but this PRS guitar is my guitar for life. Great job PRS!

[@imaxximus]

I have a treasured 513 that is beyond amazing, and recently had the great pleasure to meet Paul at Righteous Guitars in Atlanta, and he signed it. Wow, right? I love seeing the story of where it was made and more importantly, by whom it was made. It’s in a great home. My cup runneth over. Thank you!

[@ibanezman1025]

I just bought a 1997 CE24 and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve ever played. It just feels quality, it plays like silk, and sounds rich. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I do but you can just tell how much attention to detail was put into it.

The bass was my final guitar. No other bass will EVER come close to the sound, playability, or comfort that bass gives me. I hope that one day one of my kids will take that bass and make it their own..(after Im gone!)

Thank you for putting the talent and effort in to making every guitar that leaves your factory look, feel and play like a boutique guitar. I love my McCarty 594! It sounds incredible, it plays like a dream, and I don't think that I have tuned it more than three times in the near 2 years I have owned it.

[@rickmoore52]

Great video. Back in the late 80's I had heard about Santana playing a PRS guitar, so I was aware of them. Then in 1989 a musician friend that worked in a local music store said they just got in a couple PRS guitars and insisted I come in to try them. I immediately was impressed at the quality and playability, many levels above other guitars of the day. As a working guitarist I couldn't afford the quilted top, but fell in love with a deep blue CE24 which I play to this day.

[@RiffKing719]

@@mr.nobody68 The guitar is beautiful, but my PRS experience is a bit soured because the guitar was not even close to setup properly. I think it's partially the music stores fault but I don't see how PRS would let a guitar so far out of spec leave the factory. I'll either work on it myself, or send it to a luthier when I get time. I'm too bogged down with other projects to mess with it atm.

Big fan of Paul's work, here. I can't bond with the guitars, for some reason, but they are great instruments and the quality and innovation the company stands for are second to none. Also, the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen was the graveyard that came out earlier this year, in red and grey and with the crow and all... Very Alan Poe-esque. Superb. Truly a work or art. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

It's not about how much it cost but how much you value your investment and the love of owning and playing a quality instrument.

Jack is such a huge part of PRS Guitars and their success.. He knows his stuff being with Paul since 1985 . They have both learned from each other, from trial and error , and from other guiitarist's wants and needs from their guitars. The past few years, even the SE Guitar Department, that is run by Jack, has set the bar high on these overseas made guitars, to the point that they're giving other manufacturers "Custom Shop" guitars , a run for their money. Paul Reed Smith,l,Jack Higginbotham,Paul Miles,Len Johnson, and the rest of the employees at PRS Guitars just care and it shows on every guitar from SE-Private Stock. I've done the factory tour 6 times, and it's breath taking.

Good to see your name after many years!

[@patricksantana3337]

Thanks Bob. I checked out a couple of your videos. I never knew of these talents. Good stuff. I hope you don't mind if I bore you with some history of my past with PRS. I had a customer who had a woodworking shop in College Park. His main guy there was named Joe Knaggs. Joe and I became friends. I introduced Joe to some of the automotive urethane clearcoats and he liked them. He called me one day and said he had went to work for this small guitar manufacturer called PRS in Annapolis. Joe introduced me to Paul and Paul started a test on the Glasurit 923-85 clearcoat. He fell in love with the look and told me to never reveal to anyone the product he was using. He then switched to the Glasurit for all clearcoated guitars. Being a guitar guy yourself, I am sure you know that Joe Knaggs went on create his own high-end guitar company that seems to be doing very well. I visited him two years ago in his shop on the eastern shore. Thanks again for the well wishes and wish the same for you and your family.

[@tyronelowe7090]

Blame it on Carlos Santana. Fell in love with his sound and PRS birds inlays guitar, so I got myself a Korean SE 24 PRS flat body red one to fuel my imagination to play like Carlos. I think that the Koreans did a good job, and I believe that one day it may become a guitar collectors treasure? The all in price I paid was $500.00 Canadian.

My other two high end guitars (for me anyway) are ESP E-II's, which I love, but the PRS is just hands above. The resonance, the feel, the frets, the playability.. Its all just a notch above. Kudos PRS, such a fabulous instrument.

Out of all the factory tours I’ve watched on KZbin, I have to say this is probably my favorite.

Wow, a toothbrush! Good to know I have a pro luthier tool in the house!

[@phowell333]

Oh - so that's why it cost me so much! Proud owner of several since 2004...worth every cent. Thanks for your passion and obsession Paul!

[@chrisscofield5663]

They gave me the nicest rejection letter when I applied. I still think about it from time to time.

[@brucewayne5047]

I love how everyone at PRS seems so passionate about making their guitars the best they can possibly be. Total pipe dream, but I’d leave the UK and everything I have behind to spend my days working amongst such enthusiastic and dedicated people.

Bring some Arsenal merch, the guy at final assembly will love it.

[@spyderlogan4992]

One(1) month for the neck, ONE MONTH...and this is why PRS is best on the planet. A neck that's stable for the lifetime of the instrument.

[@jacobsmith1877]

Spyder Logan Adamovic Basses has a similar quality control. They wait for 6 months between rough cutting and assembly, and another 6 months between assembly and finishing

[@IvanChernenko]

But best guitar brand is Gibson

[@RandellVandergriff]

@@IvanChernenko No. But I like them. No they are not.

[@charlesflint9048]

I’ve just ordered a PRS hollow body standard in fire red burst. My partner said ‘haven’t you got enough guitars?’, but when I showed her the pics. she said ‘Go for it’. I can’t wait for this; I have mainly solid guitars, an SG and a Telecaster, also a Hagstrom with a semi hollow body with one f hole. This should complete my collection and satisfy me (for a while).

A question that I've always wondered, who hand writes the gold serial numbers on the headstock? Perhaps a 1 to 2 minute video could show how that process is done.

[@stephenbaldwin2009]

I'm sure that's screen printed on to the head-stock

[@aPHYSICALretawd]

@@stephenbaldwin2009 no the serial numbers are hand written on usa models

[@stevenrowe5581]

They are most certainly hand written on core models. On Private Stock models Paul Miles puts the finishing hand written touches on the back of the headstock.

[@sunnysocute246]

[@flintdavis2]

[@davidskura5373]

My PRS is 17 years old and plays like a new guitar. Their workmanship is superb.

I want to be apart of that 1st group after COVID-19 is over

[@rustinpieces]

07:58 I work in a factory myself (rotation creasing/cutting tools for packaging), and that shirt really says it all. If you wear that during your work, that says SO much about your attitude.
