This FENDER Vs. PRS showdown is WILD!🔥

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Well Mr Soenzo, like Paul said to me, "I'm not interested in beating the competiton, i started the company with the single aim of one day creating a limited edition custom model for BAND-MAID's Kanami Tono & i've realised my lifetime's goal".🙂

[@mr.sorenzo]

What a goal to strive for! The ultimate luthier achievement lol

[@GaryHolloway-810]

You may disagree, but I still don't think Fender and PRS are in direct competition all that much. There's some overlap with the Silver Sky, but I don't think most Fender fans are that into PRS's offerings. Personally, I'm not really a big fan of PRS because I don't like their aesthetic - the ornate figured tops and bird inlays and all that. Maybe it's the Japanese in me, but I much prefer a more minimalist aesthetic, which is why the only PRS I've ever owned was a CE-24 in plain black, with dot inlays, like the one Alex Lifeson used to play in the 90s. It was admittedly a nice guitar, but I found the PRS body shape uncomfortable for me to play sitting down, so I'll never buy one again. I like the DGT SE in gold with dot inlays, but again... the body shape isn't comfortable for me. Perhaps a Vela with an offset waist might be more comfortable, but they've started putting those darn bird inlays on those, too...

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@masatanida9119 That’s fair enough. I love a polite and reasoned disagreement, so thanks for taking the time and sharing this pal! 🤝🏼

[@etoineschrdlu9382]

What about the PRS SE NF3?

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@etoineschrdlu9382 also a great “strat” model. It was ranked 4th among the guitars that were released in 2024

[@CityBlades]

I get you're a PRS fanboy but if you think fender is discounting a damn thing to skew their rankings on a Reverb list you're out of your mind.

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@CityBlades bad skate day, Karen? chill😂 The article literally said that Reverb has acknowledged the Fender discounts. Some Fender fanboy thinks everyone else thinks the same about brands.

[@CityBlades]

@ lol okay bro, whatever, go play your Chad Kroeger guitars in peace, I won’t argue with you anymore

[@mr.sorenzo]

@ make sure your jeans don’t fall when you’re doing some pirouettes in those blades😂 pull em up tight

[@User57186-y]

yeah reverb means nothing, Fender dropped the price on Player I because of the Player II release. Simple as that

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@User57186-y great point. But only from July/24 when the Player II series were released. Won’t count for the first two quarters of the year

[@jimbobmago]

The pra strat is

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@jimbobmago Jim I honestly didn’t get the comment bro😂. “pra” is PRS. The PRS strat is what?

[@simonelussu8538]

I own a Prs se277 semihollow and a Gibson SG 61 reissue from 2001. The build quality of the Prs is far superior than the Gibson.

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@simonelussu8538 Thanks for sharing this! It’s nice to see that others have also had the same experience!

[@shanewalton8888]

It took two years for PRS to figure out how to make a Strat copy and another4 years to figure out how to make a lefty version. BTW Reverb stats are only really relevant in America. PRS is no where near as popular in Asia.

[@mr.sorenzo]

They’ve been in business for decades, and are on top of the food chain when it comes to the quality of their guitars. They’ve got their own shapes and philosophy of guitar making so I don’t think it’s a figuring out issue pal. Frankly I’ll take a US made Custom 24 over almost any guitar. Now it’s totally fine if you’re not a fan. Or if it’s not popular in Asia.

[@shanewalton8888]

@@mr.sorenzo They got their own shapes? lol a PRS basically looks like a pregnant Strat. Not much originality there.

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@shanewalton8888 what you call pregnant strat, is responsible for so much tone, sustain, ergonomics. They’ve got the best of Gibson and Fender paradigms in their guitar architecture. But like I said, you don’t like em. And that’s fine

[@shanewalton8888]

@ lol John Mayer disliked the pregnant PRS so much that he forced them to make a Strat copy.

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@shanewalton8888 read a book on guitar architecture. There’s a book called “Electric Guitar And Bass- Making and Marketing” by Leo Lospennato. He is a master luthier, and I really enjoyed this book. You’ll likely appreciate a good guitar more, and maybe even learn some technical terms to use against guitar brands you dislike so much online

[@bradlivey7867]

😂 might not if sold the best but it's still the best guitar you can get for the price

[@mr.sorenzo]

@@bradlivey7867 The Silver Sky? 100%! It’s the best strat out there
