PRS vs non PRS

[Steve's addiction]

A couple months ago I got a wild hair and bought an Epiphone LP. Was pleasantly surprised how nice it was and sounded.... until today. Pulled out the LP and jammed around for a while and wondered how it stacked up to the 513. Well lesson learned. I thought the LP sounded good but the 513 is just lights out better sounding. I used the same settings for both guitars and though the LP was decent enough to gig with the 513 was just more articulate. I realize it wasn't a true LP but 513 was miles ahead in my humble opinion. I now really understand how good PRS'S are.

Hey Steve those guitars are really miles away not just in brand. But I do understand how the PRS really shines as they are a cut above in my humble opinion. Also different guitars I have found require different amp settings. I’m sure you could get a pretty decent sound playing around with the amp settings, that being said leave the LP in it’s case enjoy the 513! Ken

H'mmm ... I like the Kool Aid too . But a 513 is one of the few PRS Core, I ever got to fondle (it was used) . Is it really fair, to compare an Epiphone, to a Core PRS ?

Maybe a fairer "fight" would be the 513, to a USA Classic LP or whatever they call the around an $2,500 Gibson ...

I'm sure I would still like the 513 more (being DC and all, many more pickup options) l, but the comparison would be closer I would think ...

I swap back and forth between my DGT and Gibson Les Paul Standard

Much closer to parity in price and overall build quality.

Oof! It’s like somebody has been tryin’ to tell y’all other guitars are trash.

All’s fair in love and tones. Especially when you love your tones.

I like my 594 Artist model over my Custom Shop Les Paul. Just barely though.

I think the forum allows the purchase of certain EBMM models. And, due to one member who shall remain nameless, they also allow R9's.

No, that's my uncle Carnac

Chile con Carnac? It’s PRS or go home, except my 16” non- cutaway archtop for big band. The others just don’t sound right to my ears.

You’re welcome to borrow my Axis some time, if you don’t believe.

Alembic Further and SE HB II Piezo are the two that are my fave killer tonez, and are completely different and kickass in sound.

Last month, I went to the guitar store to buy a Limited Edition, PRS SE Custom 22 Semi-hollow. I also tried a SE Hollowbody II, a Beautiful, Epiphone Limited Edition, ES335 and a Rivera, with mini-humbuckers. All were nice and unique guitars. I came home with the SE Hollowbody, because it sounded a lot better to me. YMMV!

I'm with Sergio.

I have one of those too!
It's a GREAT guitar.
