Proud owner of two of his one of a kind, Private Stock and a Core "Semi-Hollow Special" that is beyond perfect.... PRS is what Gibson would have been had Ted McCarty lived forever and ran them into today.

I really enjoyed this video of paul telling some of his story what a really genuine honest decent person he is .incredibly intelligent and very humble. I wish paul and his family and his PRS family health and happiness for their future. Live to learn and learn to live. Thankyou paul

I’m sad thinking about the day we lose this man

You are an amazing human being and entrepreneur. So proud to own to amazing core models from you that plays beyond imagination.

I’ve met Paul a couple of times and own a few of his amazing guitars and this is by far the best interview I’ve seen with Paul - compliments to your channel

extraordinary man....extraordinary guitars

the wood on that guitar at the 1 minute mark, wow, just wow.

​@SixStringTales It's the only hope of having great amplified tone, as well.

I've seen every interview with Paul that I can find, and a lot of them end up being very similar. This was really cool to get a different vibe from those other videos, and hear an interview with Paul that actually sounds new with different details and information. Great content!

Jesus Christ. What an interview. Amazing.

Reminiscing sounds familiar, those years. I am heading towards 70 soon, and the influences by my friends led us into music. We were poor, however, no one even realized any difference, we thought everyone living that way in the neighborhood. I would listen at night to my tube radio; to all the cool music, so many cool artists. What came next was my friend (Billy) built his first electric guitar and played it until he could save up to get a nicer electric. He became quite good, and I had a 1948 Martin D 518 parlor at home in a cubby hole closet ... when Billy came over one day he just freaked out when he saw it. I didn't even know why he was freaking. He then explained it to me. It was given to my dad (electrician) as a gift from a neighbor across the street, for doing some electrical work for an older woman. He refused to be paid from her, she then came over to our house days later and gave it to him the Martin. Then he put it in the closet for whoever would like to play it. I had at the time 5 brothers and 4 sister's; all of living in a 2 bedrooms and a attic space for us 5 boys ... our dad created the upstairs bedroom for us. Cool huh; but very hot in the summers. Extra blankets in the winter. Then lucky me it fell into my hands when Billy pointed out the acoustic to me. He continued to freak, and he continues to this day to play professionally across the our country. We grew up together friends now for 64 years now. I collect and play when I can. Paul, I hope all the above hasn't bored you to death. Sincerely, Best Regards Gary B Denver,CO

I love his comments about wildlife in Maryland, I was born on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and his comments are mild compared to my experiences....

Great, great interview!

What an insightful and interesting interview. Thank you.

This is the first time I heard him saying retirement is coming. The biggest motivation seems to be the grand kids. The new PRS guitar which is not a copy of a Les Paul, Tele or Strat should be released this year. It's suppose to have its own personality and will have a PRS sound. This will most likely be the last new guitar he builds thst he will puy his heart into before retirement . That should be very interesting to check out. I love my McCarty 594 and Silver Sky guitars.

Wasn't expecting this tbh.

please, someone buy Paul some new shirts

Meticulously fastidious guitar maker is a lazy description. But those who know know. And as time echoes on long after we are gone more guitar players will discover his genius. For example the three pedals PRS has made to date offer incredibly dynamic expansion to any rig. I could also say that about several of the guitar models and amps as well...Also I will mention that in a time when people began to really embrace internet shopping, specifically buying premium guitars without handling and trying them out first is something I would have never thought could happen until Paul set the standard at practically flawless
