It's nothing actually new, but it's a current walk through in the factory. King's English meets, ehm, English.

So, which tonewax does everyone prefer for their potted pickups?

Personally, I feel that cherry blossom beeswax gives a sweeter, more full bodied sound, whereas paraffin is good for a tight low-end for heavier distortion sounds, and can really tame the hollow-body wollyness you might get with clover beeswax.

Wouldn’t one want to use earwax for best tone?

Ok, I was just leaving…

V Cool! Don't have 2 hours to watch at the moment, but will definitely check it out this evening!! Thanks for posting this!!!

Peruvian ear wax is what the audiophiles recommend

Nice share Pav, I’ve got through to the finish shop and Mrs AR is glaring at me (haha).

Control knobs made of cork for the “sniffers”

Working through the video now, but it is incredible how many long term employees there are.

I love it! It's like Lee has no idea how a guitar is made and it's all new to him

 

[Mark Ray]

I'm watching it in stages. All I can say is WOW! The place looks gigantic compared to the last time I was there!

People who really know their stuff know that you specifically want Peruvian RIGHT ear wax. It’s a little more spendy than the Peruvian left ear wax but you get more open, clearer highs, and there’s just something magical going on in the mids that really elevates the tone.

Awesome!

For us Andertons videos officianados, we know he’s playing up for the camera, but for the next generation of guitar players it’s all new.

I think it’s great that a UK and US company are working together like this, for self promotion.

Robot spraying booth!

Production is most definitely up, I’ve never seen so many staff/workstations in a vid before. Good news for PRS.

I see @sergiodeblanc has ordered his leopard print guitar at 1:43:00-ish.

Hey guys - so yes Pete was amazing and that guitar is incredible.. for the people who could afford one - if it was to do anything like the BLK1 john cruz guitars they are going for 36,000 USD now! which is crazy - they too were around 10k to start but thats a serious increase... i also saw the super eagle I PRS JM sell for 15k to 17k - if anyone gets one of these they could be worth serious money in not so long... how do guitars do that lol9apps

Thanks for posting this and it came up in my YT feed so I watched yesterday while working and kept having to rewind as the work distraction would make me miss sections.

I'm off until next year and will have some time to watch it. One thing I noticed is when Cap would chime in with a knowledgeable comment\question whomever was working the station would shoot squint eyes for a sec, and then affirm he was correct. The comments still left plenty of room for explanation though.

I really wanted to see the SE QC station as that's been my main purchases lately.

In closing, thanks for sharing this!!

I thought this one was a little more in-depth than some of the others I've seen. They touched on a few things that hadn't been discussed in previous PRS videos. Very fun watch.

The approach to give all the involved workers at different stages of production a voice is nice.
The most complex thing is being concious of what is planned for each instrument.
But it's comparable to car manufacturing.

I hope they will follow up with PS and chat with Paul.

I enjoyed it—especially the chats with the employees. The guy on body to neck joint station was my favourite

 

[Sybo]

I just am not a fan of those guys……………….
