Avis
PRS version d'un classique de Paul Les
Publié le 02/12/11 à 16:10 (contenu en anglais)UTILIZATION
The main difference between this guitar and other singlecut PRS's is the 2 piece tune-o-matic style bridge. This bridge is more adjustable than the normal wraparound bridge they use on most guitars but PRS's normally dont need that much adjustment in the first place. This gives the guitar a more traditional Les Paul like feel which is what the guitar is going for. Since this is a LP style guitar PRS uses their 24.5 inch scale. This is even shorter than a real Les Paul. IT gives a bit looser feeling on the strings and the upper frets are a little closer to each other. With the pattern regular neck, what they use to call wide fat, you get a traditional Les Paul feel but the flatter radius helps the playability a lot.
SOUNDS
With the 57/08 pickups if you close your eyes you will think you are playing a Les Paul. Comparing this side by side with a Gibson the tones are nearly identical. The PRS has a slightly more pronouced tone. With a bit of drive you get that classic singing PAF tone. The pickups have that vowel like PAF quality that everyone loves. The clean tones have a nice bluesy spank to them. The pots work very well and you can ride the volume to clean up the tone and it cleans up nicely without becoming too thin.
OVERALL OPINION
Even though this is a fully priced USA made PRS it still costs about half as much as a Custom Shop Gibson and I think the quality and tone are better. You arent going to find a Gibson with a top like this. Gibson just barely started to put locking tuners on their guitars. This guitar has the classic sound with all the modern appointments that high end players expect. If you have the cash and are looking for a high end single cut this should be on your short list. With a Gibson a lot of what you are paying for is the name on the headstock. With a PRS you are paying for real quality.
