[3 Strikes Your Out, PRS Blows You Away Gibson]

I've a friend who plays and he has a few custom 22s, and had a McCarty, (he's had a # of PRS over the years. he loves them)

 

They were nice to look at, and no there is no doubt the fit and finish work is impeccable.

 

we traded off axes for a few weeks, I let him use one of my Gibby's.. so I had a nice custom 22 here, for about a month. I played it a lot for the first few days, but then I grabbed my 95 LP Standard and realized, "ah.. I'm back home.."

 

So never got attached to the tone and response of the one I had here. (it was gorgeous, dark grey with some beautiful figuring on top and gold hard ware..)

 

I know what a Les Paul, Strat, Tele, 335, sound like because they have a "Voice" that separates them from others....

 

When I hear something I can't put my finger on these days, I sort of assume I'm hearing a PRS... It may be just me (based on the replies here tho, I don't think it's JUST me..) They really have no characteristic tone wise that catches my ear separates them apart from others... more or less... kind of "generic.." sounding. But that's just my take, everyone goes for what they like. Nothing wrong with wanting liking some

 

I Disagree but that's ok. We all have our own tastes

That's like walking 11 miles to work because buying a car means you might hit something.

More like buying a 3k guitar that has a headstock that's relatively more likely to break than other 3k guitars, but I'm not a statistician. I'll buy one someday when I have a little more financial stability and I can afford to really enjoy it without worrying about losing my money/guitar.

Here is the link to the post the OP made on the PRS forum. The OP is just trying to incite a division between PRS and Gibson. Most of you guys seem happy to reinforce the division and say PRS are anemic or generic sounding or whatever cliches have been repeated for years about PRS. Personally, I think pitting Gibson vs. PRS is bologna. I'd love to have both and throw in a Fender or two. I like Gibson a lot, especially the Les Paul. Although I want one really bad, I am terrified of buying a really nice one because of the headstock. I'm worried I'd drop it and lose my investment. I love PRS and have a few PRSi.

 

The PRS forum seems a bit more friendly to Gibson. Not sure why there is so much PRS hate here. Obviously, PRS makes some good ****.
