Looks like some sort of sponsorship deal. "Hey! Here's a new band everyone should know. Let's put some matching(ish) guitars and a bass in their hands and we'll ride their coattails!"

I do like a bit of tull, although with what I know now, martins guitar sounds a bit dry, would be better a bit wetter - delay reverb etc, and turn down that piano

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Looks like three cool dudes with excellent taste!

There is video on YouTube where talks about Martin Barre calling him to talk about PRS guitars. The look on Paul’s face when he talked about how Martin Barre humbly introduced himself was priceless.

August 10 birthdays are the best...

I first heard Jethro Tull in theSummer of ‘69 when I was 13. I stayed a fan for the next ten years.

Martin Barre's guitar tone always gripped me and intrigued me from the early days on when he was using a Les Paul Custom and Hiwatts. It only makes sense that he's moved on to PRS instruments. His lines are so melodic and he's a wonderful technician.

He's been playing PRS's for quite few years. I've seen his solo band twice in the last 5 years, and they are fantastic. (just as good if not better than Tull) got to meet him both times also . just a super nice, down to earth guy.
