1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Tough for me to vote because I haven't played a PRS yet. But I'm more comfortable playing my Strat than my Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloserToTheHEART Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I don't play guitar (I've wanted to for a while though but I can't) so I will go by design purposes and sounds from what I've heard. I love the Les Paul and the Strat. I've never cared for the Telecaster look and I hate the Jag-stang. The SG and the Jaguar are pretty good. The PRS doublecuts and singlecuts are both nice appearance wise as well. As for the sound, Both Fenders and Gibsons have a nice sounds. PRS has some unique sounds too. Gibson has been my favorite for a while but recently I've been getting more into Fender. It's a tough call but I'm gonna stick with Gibson.

thestand Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I can afford Gibson, but I play Epiphone. I just prefer a dirty sound. But because of their ownership, I went with Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drumnut Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have not owned or played many guitars. Never played a PRS, but have owned a Fender and currently own a Gibson so, between Gibson and Fender, in my opinion, Gibson makes the finer instrument.

alphseeker Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Currently have a savings account set aside just for the 513 rosewood PRS - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) There is no "Yes" option which is what I would choose. Each has their own personality and traits. I have two Epiphone made on Gibson models, but I also have a Strat too. If I could afford a PRS I would probably have one. PRS to me are kind of a hybrid Les Paul and Stratocaster. My main guitar is my Epi Les Paul. Edited February 24, 2006 by CygnusX-1Bk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I would love a PRS that's set up just like Alex's black one: 24 frets, whammy bar and the pickup toggle switch instead of that selector knob that many PRSs come with. I would choose a different color, though. If I came into some guitar money that's what I'd buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modest Man From Mandrake Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I have played all three makes, and I like PRS the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rand Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have 2 1986 PRS's and I absolutely love them. They are the best guitar made in my opinion. I'd love to get a cherry sunburst Les Paul. Never cared for strats though I owned one for a few years. In the current issue of Guitar Player Alex says that the PRS are extremely well made but that the Gibsons sound better.

My_Shrimp_Cot Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 QUOTE (Rand @ Feb 25 2006, 03:24 PM) In the current issue of Guitar Player Alex says that the PRS are extremely well made but that the Gibsons sound better. He is right. I like Fender the best, though. For Rush style music, they sometimes don't quite cut it, but there are plenty of other reasons to like Fender guitars. You can easily build your own from a SLEW of wellmade after market parts, necks, bodies, pups etc (or originals). They are affordable. I like the clarity of single coils. 25 1/2" scale. Tele twang, Strat quack. They don't weigh 13 lbs (les pauls can). Having said that I would LOVE to own a top of the line Paul. But not for 30 bills. You can keep your PRS's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaine mac Roth Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 For guitars, I've always shown a marked preference for Gibsons - the SG in particular. They have a warmth that can sometimes be lacking in the Fenders but don't break the back like the Les Paul can. let me just say, though, that I've not played a PRS yet.
