Ok guys, this is the first time I have seen this clip of Paul live in 1983. Sounds fantastic, both playing and tone. I have a few questions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=305&v=7tuV78qL2yk
-What amp was Paul using at this time? Sounds like a Marshall....
-I remember the guitar from some article back in the 80s, what was the scale length?
-How different is the construction, electronics and carve/contours on this guitar different from today's guitars?
-That tone he is getting is near perfect in my mind for humbucker tone, (and hear it from other guitar/Marshall combos) it may be me but to my ears the factory built guitars do not sound like that...why? (Besides that its Paul's hands in the clip)
-The tones from most PRS guitars to my ears take a much more modern slant except for the DGT, which I do own. What's the deal, was it a conscious choice to get away from that classic tone?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Thanks!
