The Best Thing Premier Guitar ever did, was to hire John Bohlinger! He's such a great guy and a bonafide host. He's so effervescent and always in a good mood!

Every time Paul is asked about the great guitars built at the PRS factory, he always mentions the 400+ people who work there. I think that says a lot about Paul as a man. Also, in a time when everyone is trying to be as vanilla as possible in terms of their personality to avoid any kind of controversy, I admire the fact that Paul isn't afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve and show us the real person he is. Top man massive respect to him! After Leo, he's probably the person who's had the biggest impact in the world of guitar.

I work at PRS; it is like being part of a big family. The company takes extremely good care of the employees. Business is good: unlike Fender, we are hiring!

John is always my favorite to watch do interviews and tours. His enthusiasm is contagious and he always does a great job of letting the person talk. John is more of a guide for where the conversation goes rather than just asking questions

No wonder these guitars are so good. They really pay attention to detail.

PRS is a different guy and can seem difficult at times, but that’s because he’s a complex serious deep dude. If he rubs you the wrong way stick around for a minute because PRS is right on. A seriously dedicated, hard worker that’s cares about his product and workers for real. PRS is top notch all the way around.

Paul had me when he replied about the 425 people in team. A humble and classy reply.

[RezaMatix]

Massive props to the whoever did sound on this. Dialogue is super crisp and clear. This was an incredibly good video too, I had a browser open looking for my dream PRS the whole time.

I'm a PRS guitar owner and I am proud of it!!!

Proud owner of two PRS guitars. Incredible instruments. Thanks to everyone involved for their hard work, skill and dedication.

The first perfectly balanced guitar I ever played was a white PRS with bird inlays at West L.A. Music in 1987. I could not believe how perfect everything about that guitar was. I plugged it into a Marshall Jubilee half stack and was blown away by the tone and the smart versatility of the electronics, how perfect the tremolo system was set up, a non-locking system in an era when Floyds dominated. It was all about tone, playability, ergonomics, and a beautiful aesthetic that was all its own. I'm thrilled to see the success of this company over the decades. I've since become a PRS owner. They are the finest guitars on the planet.

Everytime I watch videos about the prs factory and the work that goes into these guitars it always makes me want to get one

[IamMusicNerd]

I am always impressed with how much attention to detail and personal touch PRS puts into their guitars. Even the SE line. When a company starts growing from small boutique guitar maker to large scale guitar maker, it’s easy to lose that attention to detail and personal touch. So it’s nice to see they have not lost what got them to this point.

Hopefully PRS opens up tours of the factory again soon. Im in Northern Virginia and have been hoping to go up there for years since the pandemic with the hopes of Paul signing one of my 4 PRS guitars.

[rowegardner]

It really is crazy how good the build quality and control is on PRS these days. Every guitar you pull off the rack plays and sounds amazing right away. Especially appreciative of their attention to getting the intonation set right on their guitars. Coming from a les Paul custom to a mccarty 594 hollowbody II was a night and day difference in playability.

[jamanjeval]

Paul Reed Smith is the real deal. Not only is he in the league of guitar maker greats like Leo Fender, he is a pretty good player too. I wish Eddie VanHalen would have worked with him on a signature guitar. John is a great host for these these kinds of videos. He always seems genuinely engaged without being overbearing and allows the guests to shine.

I had the privilege to visit the PRS factory on my way home from somewhere??? north of Maryland and left the control cover for Paul to sign ON THE INSIDE of the cover so it would not wear off!!! I grew up 54 miles from the factory in Seaford, De. If I was able to work a 40 hour week, I'm on disability the last 12 years, I would want to work at this wonderful place where dreams are made. I own a Custom 22 Black hard tail beauty. I think I got it in 2005 or 6 can't remember but it is amazing!!!! Thank You Paul and all that you have done for those of us that love guitars and especially YOUR Bob Trice

[thinkingjack]

John is so enthusiastic, I absolutely love when he’s hosting a video. He makes my enthusiasm come out even more while watching

[CosmicNed]

Love my PRS's - I have 5 now... the only guitars I have ever bought untried as I know the QC is so damn good...

[Rocktalk]

I currently own 3 PRS guitars and they are hands down some of the best guitars I have ever played. Love seeing stuff like this and the process that goes into making these amazing guitars!
