I appreciate your video, but one thing to point out. Putting one small dab of super glue "in front" of the string nut where the fret board is fine if you think you are never going to replace the string nut again. Most of the time, string nuts that are glued on to that front area can latch on to and literally "chip" the top of the fret board wood if you need to remove the string nut later on. Even if you use a heat gun, you'll risk that happening. I'm an old guy, and I've learned from a few luthers over the years. Back in the early 1980s a luther that I knew that was very old man at the time (R.I.P.) told me to use regular elmers white glue because it's a non-destructive glue. I've done that for years for string nuts in both electric and acoustic guitars and a few ukuleles.. No issues. Just a tip if you think down the road, you (or the next guy) needs to replace it. I'm going to check out the rest of your channel. Happy Holidays. - Mr.Tom Writer-Composer/Self-Administered Publisher (PRO: BMI Inc. / Pub: The MLC) CAE/IPI #: 833986399 / Publisher Number: P135OQ

Thanks for the informed insight and nice to hear that the guitar works out for you, after giving it some (needed) extra care. For this price point though, there's a chance most might end up being happier with an old Stella / any of those Regal builds, plus some repairs (if needed) and tweaks so it meets contemporary 'playing practices'. I recently tried the PRS and a couple more along those lines but they don't compete, tonally. The vintage parlor I found was in horrible shape (e.g. wood blocks glued to the top) but it was still way less than $500 including refret, new bone nut - the neck was actually ok - and it even plays more comfortable than the modern builds.

I bought the vintage mahogany model towards the end of 2020 and have gigged with it 4-6 days a week, 3 hours a day since. The only issue that I have found is with the pegs being too low like you said, making it harder to change strings. Other than that (knock on wood) lol it has performed beautifully right out the box. I guess for the price point, I wasn’t expecting too much in the first place so I wasn’t very disappointed by the minor peg issue. I figure with the way these guitars are mass produced, it’s just luck of the draw on whether you get a shitty one or a quality one…

I have wanted this guitar for a long time but it seemed that there were NO REAL honest reviews out there. Thank you for this one. I will still most likely purchase this guitar anyway because of it's portability, playability and (from what I can gather from the internet as there are none available in all of Washington state to try out) decent sound. I have played some others like the Jim Dandy and the baby Taylor (JD at $179.99 or the baby Taylor at around $549.99) etc... but I did not like the sound of any of those, even though they were at the right price point. The only one that I have not tried (besides the PRS P20) is the Recording King dirty 30's (at $229.00) and the Fender CP-60S (at $170.00) only because I cannot find them anywhere. I'm not the kind of person who buys instruments on the internet without first playing one somewhere, however this one PRS p20e might be an exception, as I have several acoustic tuners that would probably fit and many acoustic bridges and pins laying around the shop. Perhaps I will find a nice used one for cheap! ...yeah right! Anyway, good job and thanks for the vid, it is very much appreciated. PEACE

I got one of these recently, and ended up returning it for a different guitar. Bought it online (without playing) and it arrived in excellent condition except for maybe needing a slight bridge saddle adjustment. It's a beautiful guitar (I got the black top) but I really didn't like the sound. After changing the strings (man, those bridge pins were a PAIN to take out) I realized that the sound wasn't going to get much better. Way too much treble and a bit too thin for my liking. I ended up going with a Taylor GS Mini (which I had played before, but though the PRS looked better). I feel like the tone from the Taylor is much more substantial with a better bottom end. In fact, I'd say the Taylor plays less like a tiny guitar and more like a full-sized/body guitar. That said, the PRS is very pretty and well-made. And, as said in the video, could be set up to one's liking. But, it wasn't for me.
