A friend of mine owns a couple of Paul Reed Smith guitars, and whether or not you think they look stupid, the sounds he makes with them are not even close to stupid.
NOT CRAP.

That place up in Evanston called Flynn Guitars says they are the number one seller of PRS guitars...therefore they have been awarded the privilege of showcasing many special custom inlay models like the Dragon, Dragon deluxe, and the homoerotic naked Dragon... only two exist IN THE WORLD!
The guys in there take it all really seriously, too. It's great.
That's hilarious. Washington Music Center(otherwise a pretty great music store) says the same thing. I wonder if PRS tells that to all their retailers?
Oh, and the gtrs? Massively CRAPtastic and ugly as hell to boot.

13Another uneasy marriage of a Gibson Les Paul and a Fender Stratocaster. Why bother?

14The ugliest guitars ever made, with a cult following that creeps me out.
But if you close your eyes and play one, they are obviously made really well, and generally sound good. Hideous, hideous guitars though.

15PRS are played by the guitarists (and sometimes singers) for:
Incubus
P.O.D.
Motley Crue
Linkin Park
Good Charlotte
One needs only see the guy from Good Charlotte twirling his pristine $2000+ guitar that has been carefully stickered with bullshit faux punk bumper stickers to know who PRS are for. They are the BC Rich's for a whole other sect.
CRAP.

16No one has pointed out that PRS's most high-profile customer is Carlos Santana, and that this has been true for decades.
For a long time I've been aware that a PRS through a mess of Boogies will get me Carlos Santana's signature damn-I've-really-gotta-pee sound.

Great for running through 5000 effects pedals into a Line 6
No clean TONE to speak of
Play like a baseball bat wrapped with rubber bands...............
CRAP

But PRS suck I think theyre made in China half of the time now anyway.

18The subtlety of what exactly is wrong design-wise with the PRS guitar is exquisite. It's utterly bland and formulaic and yet completely, unquestionably vile.
I would rather play one of those Steve McVai guitars with the shopping-handle that Emmanuelle Cunt is so fond of than a PRS.
Complete CRAP.

20As far as I can tell this is a guitar designed to be a Fender and a Gibson all in one. Made out of exotic tuba wood or some such thing so the price is stratospheric.
For what they cost, you could own a very nice Gibson and a very nice Fender.
They play great, but the awful old joke about fat girls and mopeds comes to mind: fun to ride when your friends aren't looking. Maybe that means they have a place in studios.
I can't see beating one of these up on the road.
Unattainably expensive at half the price, therefore crap.
