The Dragons | From The Archives | PRS Guitars

For the very first time, all nine PRS Dragon guitars were in the same room together. In this episode of From the Archives, Paul and Marc discuss the history of each one and the stories behind their inspiration. Did we mention that there is a special surprise at the end of this video? This is an episode you won't want to miss!

Are you interested in buying a 35th Anniversary PRS Dragon t-shirt just like the one Paul is wearing?

Absolutely sick! At this point there's PRS, and then everyone else looking up at them.


For an old Quality/Manufacturing guy like me, I'm fascinated by the factory tours videos you can find on YouTube, because I used to set up quality departments and standard work processes for companies. PRS is still the king of the hill when it comes to their quality, attention to detail, skill level of the workers, processes, cleanliness and flow. IMO, one of the most important tell is the attitude of the workers, something that you can't hide from an outsider. As much as Paul values his workers, he earns their respect and loyalty.


Just my take.

Awesome video and great jam at the end. The harmony part was so cool.

Love the archive episodes so much. Would pay to breathe the air in there.

Brian Ewald is an awesome guitar player. I absolutely loved that. Especially the part with 2 different dragons. It sounds killer.

[aquenture]

Beautiful video. Loved the playthrough of them all at the end.

Seeing Brian play these Dragons is a real treat. The doubleneck sounds awesome, especially the 12-string! Real JP vibes there.

Thanks so much for putting this together and giving some smiles and sunshine during a trying time for everyone. Kudos and elbow bumps all around!

Guitar Center in Springfield NJ hosted a clinic with PRS. A 40.000 Dragon mysteriously grew legs and walked out the door!!! DEF A INSIDE JOB!!!

Loved the song on the end. I’ll dream about the double neck…

Ok may I say really quick that Paul is a blessing in the manufacturing world. From the two times I've met him he seems to care about literally everyone, his customers, employees, and family. Compared to some companies and their owners such as Gibson and other companies. Coupled with the fact that prs is probably the best guitar brand that is made in USA yet has an overseas cheaper version

stunning... absolutely stunning...I'm seriously floored man, those inlays are 2nd to none my friends...18 years with my PRS guitar and love

[hernindio]

This video is such a great thing to watch during this dark isolation days... Thank you PRS

Awesome trip down memory lane. My first PRS experience was a guy in the early 90's playing a great looking PRS and talking about how he was saving up for a dragon.

[satch]

When I started playing in the early 90s there was a shop near me that had a Dragon II. I thought it was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen. Still would love to have one someday.

Unbelievable... this are not only Guitars.. this is Art in best shape. I don't play guitars but is the first time I regret it. Thanks for sharing this!

[AlmostGrewMyHair]

That "Jurassic Park" one (at 9:50) is my favorite. Insane depth and presentation of that art.

[Loki_Morningstar]

When I was in high school back in the 90's I saw either a dragon 1 or 2 in a local high end guitar shop and instantly fell in love. Ever since that has been my holy grail guitar. I'll probably never be able to afford one but it doesn't hurt to dream. Thanks for making such amazing guitars.

Love the multi-dragon jam towards the end of this video. Thanks PRS!
