Wow, I have the same guitar, I got it because I had right shoulder surgery and my Gibson Songwriter was a little hard on my shoulder. But can you believe the tone and sustain on this guitar, really nice, I had the neck tweaked a little and got the action right, itâs a joy to play. Good luck!

I remember when PRS was a small boutique brand our (Liverpool) high end guitar shop had 3 behind glass no one was much brave enough to ask to play

Although the guitar has just been delivered by Santa, the date on the label inside is 12/21 so itâs a year old and has been presumably spent a year being shipped from China, stored in a warehouse and in the shop. The strings looked and sounded ok but I had no idea if they were good quality or not so I decided to change them.
Iâve put on DâAddario EJ16 phosphor bronze 12âs. For a small, low cost guitar it sounds great. Itâs not a strumming machine like my D28 but sounds good strummed with a pick or with a finger/thumb. It also really suits fingerstyle play which is what Iâve mostly been practising on it this past week.

Sounds like you made a lovely wee investment. Oh youâve been working on fingerstyle. Working on any particular songs from your database?

Welcome to the JG Community PRS Owners Club, Gordon. Wish you many years of happy play in inviting locations.
Interesting that the guitar is made by Cort in China rather than the PRS factory where I understood SE guitars are made in (I think Indonesia).
And even if not matching the sound of the Martin, Iâll still be keeping an eye out for an AVOYP from Sairfingers to showcase the new instrument.

Not any song in particular James. Itâs fun going through different songs and trying fingerstyle on them. My dreamers of course would be from the Eric Clapton unplugged album.
Another one I been at off and on for a while and youâve mentioned it before is Bob Dylanâs Donât Think Twice.

As I stated, I was at the guitar shop getting strings today. They did have a PRS parlor in stock, so I fooled around with it a bit. Boy thatâs a nice little guitar! Wonderful action, nice tone, and beautiful construction. The one they have has electronics, and is priced at $900.
I just canât justify buying any more guitars. The two that I have would probably like to escape. But if I could, I would.

Hi Mark. Sounds like a fun visit to the guitar store. Yes they are lovely little guitars. I think youâve been looking at a different PRS model to mine however as I paid half that price for one without electrics.

This is what my PRS can sound like. Mind you, this guy could make a bit of wire tied to a brush shaft sound good!

This video is great!! What an incredible talent guy! And yeah. He can make whatever sound good. He has plenty of videos where he makes guitars out of shovels and whatnot. And makes them sound great. Its clearly not ÂŤallÂť in the instrument, skills is also needed

Hey Gordon!

Gordon, Thanks for the video. It gives me something to dream about playing on my GS-mini mahagony. The tone on the PRS parlour acoustic sounds perfect for acoustic blues like Eric Clapton improvising Robert Johnson.
