Goodness Knows, I Love PRS Guitars.

[László]

This will be my 30th year of making at least a substantial part of my living playing PRS Guitars and amps (I play keys for the other substantial part).

I know, it's crazy, right? Most studio rats like me have a bunch of different brands, yet I just keep chugging along like PRS is the only brand in the world.

I think - not sure - I'm as busy as those other folks who buy into the 'You must have one Strat and one Tele, and one LP, and one..." guys.

I love my work in the ad music biz. I love my clients and the people who support my efforts. I also love writing orchestral music. My life has been very lucky, and I'm fortunate to have found my voice with PRS Guitars and amps.

"You suck, Les. It's the guitars that have saved your butt."

"Yes, numerous times. And that's a good thing!"

"Are you drinking a martini right now?"

"Yes."

"Maybe try this when you're not drinking a martini."

That’s cool, Les. It’s weird to think that it was 24 years ago that I got my first PRS. Seems like yesterday. Time goes by soooo fast.

 

[Steve's addiction]

Just awesome! Glad you are getting to do it and hope you can for many years to come!

 

[veinbuster]

Yeah, I think they’re ok too.
And I’m not drinking a martini.

 

[Davey]

It's more fun with a martini though

 

[Buildermike]

Lucky dog.

The only reason I own a Gibson Flying V is because PRS doesn't make a guitar in that exact body shape.

Congratulations Les, here’s to the next 30!

[CandidPicker]

Have a ball, Les,

The business won't forget the love you've shown.

Cheers Les! 30 years is a helluva long run!

We have tons in common!

I do limit myself to no more than 1/2 of a martini glass when I have one (which isn't daily). I try to be responsible. Pepsi Max is pretty nice stuff!

It really is a nice run!

Though I will say that it also doesn't feel like a long time to me.

I've been thinking about this. My conclusion is that my actual job is Interpreter. I interpret what clients tell me and translate it into music.

Every one of you has the talent to do it. I just happen to be lucky that I'm good at interpreting.

Not that you should do it, because I don't actually need competition.

Spoken like a legend.

You should film your process sometimes, if nothing else it'll be something your kids can watch one day. Seems like something worth remembering.

My studio's been in my home from the time they were little tots, so they know the process well!

My son is a producer and artist in LA who's done pretty well, and claims I taught him, but he does have a degree in music, and I'm pretty sure he's better at it than I am!
