First, this is not an anti-PRS thread.
I was just curious about all the great music created, recorded, and performed with PRS guitars.
When I was reflecting on this question myself the list was pretty damn short. Like, sadly so. I get it,
PRS has not been around as long as Fender or Gibson, as they had a 30-40 year headstart---give or take.
That being said, I still don't see/hear/notice a lot of music being made with PRS guitars, even though
they are insanely popular among a certain sector of guitar players. Why is that? Thoughts?
I wonder if PRS lacks the distinctive characteristics of something like an SG or a Telecaster? Are PRS guitars
a bit like the McMansions of the housing world that popped up all across the swelling suburbs of America
in the past 30 years? Big, shiny houses, but without any of the uniqueness and/or historical character and
appeal of even a 1200 sq ft. Bungalow?
Just seems that there is a bit of disconnect between the idea of consuming guitars versus using guitars as
tools of creativity and inspiration. Or I am missing something utterly obvious that someone else sees and
I don't???
