Published on 01/31/12 at 08:58Paul Reed Smith guitars have to be some of the most beautiful and exotic guitars on the market. They have such a great beauty and contour and build quality. What are the surprising things about these guitars as they seem to vary in comfort ability and ability from guitar to guitar. That is been one of the downsides to these guitars my opinion is that every time I play it always feels much different then the exact same guitar that I just played from Paul Reed Smith. It seems to be that no two are alike even if the model or is the exact same. Not to mention they are very expensive to own and at the cause that they're asking for a new guitar you better expect them to play yoga box. This is not been my experience with most of their guitars however there have been many of them have felt perfect and very comfortable but I just immediately played. So it can be hit or miss with the guitar so I suggest buying one day you've actually played and not buying one that you never played before.

SOUNDS
These guitars do you sound very similar to any Gibson guitar you have had experience with. To usually feature mahogany wood for the body and for the neck with rosewood fretboard. They generally come with humbuckers installed and even sometimes a variance of humbuckers that are specific to the Paul reed smith guitar line. Many other guitars also feature a nice quilted or flamed maple top which is one of their selling points because they have such a beauty and elegance to them that I have not seen on any other time. The sound is very thick and chewy but you can also clean up very well in a clean amplifier setting.
OVERALL OPINION
You can find PRS guitars pretty frequently because there are very highly used instrument out there in the music world. I would suggest that you play these guitars first before buying so I would immediately cancel any type of online situation. These guitars can vary from feel to feel and guitar to guitar so getting the right one is very important. But if you do find a good one with a good price and this is good to be guitar that you're probably going on for life.
