Actually, yes?
Here’s the thing - I used to think telecasters weren’t cool, until I started to notice all sorts of cool people using them and looking cool with them. Then it “clicked” and I got it.
Same thing with Gibson SGs - could only picture AC/DC. I could imagine that guitar outside of that really specific thing (nothing against AC/DC, it’s just a narrow box) Then I start noticing Derek Trucks, Kirk Douglass (the roots), players in alt-country, pop, country, early santana, and I got over my hang ups.
Right now, most of my correlations with PRS are Nickleback, my-metal and hack players at blues jams. I’m sure the guitar has more breadth than that, so I’m just trying to get over my own hang ups.
Most of my google searches bring up metal players with PRS - which I should perhaps phrase as being the wrong “cool” for me.
I just want to see a variety of people playing PRS guitars to get over what I am sure is a faulty conception in my mind.
Despite being around for years, I just haven’t paid a lot of attention to PRS players in the past, and I figured the PRS forum would be full of people who love the guitars and are able to point me to some great artists of a wide variety of genres/styles!
