Unboxing guitars I NEVER thought I'd get...

Gloss body with a satin neck is 👌

I like a glossy neck. Not sure why people dont

[@Cerberus-db1bq]

Hey hey. Happy Monday

I bought a PRS Dustie Waring CE because of your video of it, and fell in love with it. I also cannot stop looking at it, it's so metal!! I'm going to have to sell some guitars, because I can see myself not playing them anymore because I love playing this one.

[@roymartin500]

That was a great episode! I'm also very jealous, I'm saving for a waring burst CE.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

@@roymartin500 I got the Jade burst. I went with the Floyd, because I don't hate it like many people. It's all I knew for years, so I've learned tricks to deal with the pitfalls of them, so I don't dread a string break. Plus, it looks more industrial and metal on this guitar. I don't like all that empty real estate on the body. That and I prefer the solid black birds, and you can't get the solid black birds with the fixed bridge on that model. It came tuned E standard, but with Waring's preferred gauge strings (had to look up what was on it), so it felt really stiff. I couldn't do bends that easily, it was harder to play, so I knew I would change the strings to 9-42. But, I ended up opting to drop the tuning to C# and the guitar came alive. I never played 11's, but they feel like 9's with the drop tuning. It plays so smooth and sounds awesome, that and I can't stop looking at it. The pics on Sweetwater didn't do it justice. It was between Jade and all Black, but I'm not a fan of the natural wood back. I hope you get one, because you'll love it. It's my favorite PRS, for sure, and I have two SE's and one SS.

[@roymartin500]

​​@@itsalwayssomething7490 Thanks for the review! I'm gonna look at the Jade and see. I've had the waring burst in mind being a fan of the initial release but they all look so good. Yeah, I own a core 08' Mira in Vintage Orange(looks V. Cherry) with Wide/Fat neck and Ghost Birds(optional) plus two individual coil split toggles. It's only six pounds but is easily the best playing, sounding and feeling guitar I've ever played. Funny thing is it was an ordering mistake from GC. I ordered an ESP case and got a PRS case with a very light guitar in it!😉. I also own a White PRS One SE, which with some minor adjustments is a really good version of an LP Junior. I have a 04 Mesa Single Rectifier series II 50watt "solo" head on a 04 Mesa Recto 2x12 horizontal cab. A few fx pedals but that amp has been so solid for me. So I want a good guitar to go with my rig that I can carry on for another 20 years and the DW CE Floyd totally fits that bill. It's an amalgamation of my mix of guitars into one really sick one. Thanks again for the review.

[@itsalwayssomething7490]

@@roymartin500 good luck. Take care. Come back here if you ever get one, and lmk what you think.

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

PRS makes some great guitars, but they’re usually too “dentist-y” for my taste. Love the satin neck on the Holcomb.

[@toxendon]

What do you mean by dentist-y?

[@TylerJohnstonGuitar]

@@toxendon Most of the high end PRS guitars look like something a dentist would buy to hang on their wall and never touch. I’m a bare-bones guitar kind of guy. Don’t need anything fancy.

[@evenzeroescanbeheroes6875]

Really excited to see what you make with those PRS guitars. They're literally becoming one of my favorite brands thanks to you and a friend of mine lol. Keep being devil's advocates 😂

[@roymartin500]

I'm not a "metal player". That being said, I love Dustie & Mark's PRS's in every incarnation. I also love Single cuts& Rectifiers so I guess I'm a bit of a contradiction. Enough bout me, I love the channel, zero pretentiousness=all good!

[@thegonzel8332]

Hi

[@MetalMunKyMetal]

I'm waiting on my Blue Burst Holcomb. The OG one i bought 3 years ago is my favorite guitar. They finally updated it with a new color. The new pickups are juste the cherry on top. I ordered it weeks ago now. First batch From Thomann is available in 1-2 week. Hopping I won't have to wait 7-10 weeks more for the second batch... Fingers crossed

[@Loftus4345]

I just bought mine 3 days ago and loving it. Never owned a PRS guitar. Tried the Mark Holcomb and the SE Pauls. Both were beautiful to play but found the Holcomb more inspiring for the type of music I play. I see myself picking up an SE Custom 24 next though! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine!

[@aspookyknucklehead1309]

ooga booga

[@caseylee12]

I've never owned a PRS. I just bought a PRS SE Paul Allender model (non EMG). It's a purple burst with bats in flight instead of birds in flight. It looks amazing. But I bought it because the pickups are really good with high gain or clean. Plus, every Korea made guitar I own is awesome. PRS SE models are high quality, and for those of us who can't afford a Core model, they're really great guitars!

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

It's all well and good seeing the unboxings, H, but how many months will it be until we see the review? (presumably many months after you get around to doing the reviews of all the other guitars you've unboxed that we're still yet to see). You're one of the few tubers whose opinion I respect as mostly unbiased, it's just a crying shame that your content is so few and far between.

[@jus10_lee]

I think the new blue finish on the new Holcomb SEs have come out much better than than previous purple/ brisket burst. Marks original USA model had a great finish, but the SEs had a much darker and less vibrant finish, I thought.

[@marklnz]

The old Walnut 7 string SE though...that finish is as close to perfect as it's possible to get, as far as I'm concerned

[@darthshaggy9970]

because the USA models use a differente paint technique, the use black stain, then sand to get the wood more defined, then the paint, then satin finish, satin always looks more deep

[@erikrummel6277]

My exact same PRS SE 594 singlecut in Blue arrives tomorrow from Sweetwater. Can’t wait!!!!!!! Have fun with the new camera Hunter!

[@DanielBobke]

I have my first blue guitar on preorder...a Schecter Reaper-6 FR S Elite in Deep Ocean Blue. I have to say - after this video I am even more excited to get that guitar!!

[@thegonzel8332]

Cool guitar :)

[@toddhall5565]

Were I not already a subscriber, the Blind Man riff would've been an immediate mash on the button, great riff choice for the new single cut! That was my BSC introduction and I've been a big fan since. Love your channel man, great job!

[@toddflowers8052]

Diggin' that McCarty in blue 💙

[@justsomesaltyboi8716]

last week i picked up my first guitar and it was the faded blue custom 24-08 from sweetwater hq in fort wayne since they were only a few miles away from me, and i picked up a boss katana 100 mk2 for my first amp. i love this thing but ive been sick with covid so my beginner mind is like, still making me dream im going to be a proper guitarist. recently though ive heard a song called stargazer by rainbow (Dio is the singer for the song) and i have been addicted with trying to learn that song. Blackmoore has made that guitar sound like a sitar in that song and it boggles my mind! very happy im in the guitar player world and discovering all these awesome licks and riffs!

[@Masterfighterx]

Veneer can be pretty much, if not, just as nice as a full top, it basically comes down to the whole finish, some stains kill the depth and satin also removes depth, I've had an Epiphone with an amazing veneer that moved a lot and then you see Harley Benton with some of their stains that just kills the depth, same goes for full thickness figured tops.

[@claudeman]

I really want to try that new Mark sig but I can never find it in the wild.

[@Someonecalledluiz]

I'm really impressed that this channel was shot all this time with a T3i, Because not once I had any problem with the image quality of your videos. This is why lighting is WAY more important than specs.

[@GRBAquatics]

Very Cool, Thankyou. Awesome Guitars and Those Pickups looked amazing. Cheers

[@K707OR30]

I have a wine red McCarty single cut SE and I just picked up the older version of the Holcomb SE. they’re both such killer guitars. At first I wasn’t jiving with the 20” radius on the Holcomb but then I changed to standard .10 strings and lowered the saddles/adjusted the neck and it feels great. I agree with your point on the import models. I have three S2s and they’re such great guitars, but I love the SE guitars just as much really. They’re damn close to the American models. So for anyone thinking an SE is an “inferior” guitar, they’re not. I could have just an SE and be stoked, they get as much playing time as my S2s

[@dominikkurz5889]

Love that Holcomb! Funny fact about your shirt: gos(c)hen means "shut the f*ck up" here in Austria 😂🎉

[@matthewcain588]

Mark's PRS sigs are really really tempting... Thankfully for my bank account, I don't really play any of my standard scale length guitars anymore.

[@lixi9881]

the reason that tim's pickups look so bare is indeed because his guitar is so stylish, he said in an interview with reverb that he didnt want to take away from the tree of death inlay and wanted to keep the rest of his guitar minimal and simple

Dude I'm so stoked to see your review of the Holcomb! I'm pretty sure that is going to be my present to myself for med school graduation. What's plaguing me is choosing between the 6 and 7 string variants. Also that McCarty is a work of art.

Both those PRSs look killer. I'm sure the Holcomb will be bomb, but I'm very interested to see what you think of the 594 :)

I actually REALLY entertained getting that Holcomb

[@oger5150]

Dude totally wanted that blue 594. Now I want both of these fiddles. Nice review.

[@oscar.leon003]

The issue with the holcomb SE is that it has a fat and wide neck in conjunction with a very flat radius. If you have a 20 inch radius you generally also want a thin and slim neck, when I tried one of the Holcomb models it felt hard to play in comparison with the Jackson juggernaut which plays way faster

[@jonin0001]

I got that new Holcomb guitar preordered at Sweetwater. I'm pretty excited seeing this. Can't wait to receive mine.

[@kidnavajo]

Hopefully they got better with QC, I love my SVN but the pots and pickup selector are garbage, I still need to replace all the electronics (besides the pickups themselves) to even make it playable again. For now it’s a mystery wether or not my bridge pickup will work when I flip the selector. It’s about a 1 in 4 chance that it makes contact lmao

[@kidnavajo]

Update: After upgrading the bridge to a Hipshot, the nut to a Graphtech Black TUSQ XL, the tuning machines to Ratio Tuners, and replacing all the electronics besides the pickups themselves this is one hell of a guitar! That seventh string just sings on this thing now.

[@shanewalton8888]
