Things People Say....

[Malloc]

I’m sure there are a plenty crazier than this, but what’s the craziest or strangest thing people have said to you about PRS instruments?

I was playing with a new bassist (to me at least, he was decent actually playing) this weekend who saunters over after sound check, studies the headstock of my sig HBII, then pronounces, “Peeee—arrrrrr-esssss huh. Is that just some Les Paul clone?”

I might’ve asked if he’s lived in a cave the past 35 years.

Honestly, I haven’t really ever had anyone make any odd comments. A compliment here or there, but that’s about it.

"How come it only has 2 dials?"

"Where's the other F hole?"

 

[Alan Manning]

Only the obvious quote why do you need so many, you cant play them all at once.
My reply " I'm the guitarist version of Squiddly Diddly".
Then they google who that is.

I was told (by a better guitar player than I am) that I am a snob.

 

[veinbuster]

Mostly they say they would like to get one too.

By the luthier that did a fret dress on the Green Cu24AP in my Avatar, "PRS are ok, they just don't have very good quality control. Look at that blemish on the edge."

I had done it and it was the only ding I've put on the guitar. It's a cloudy spot in the poly, about the size of a pin head. I've never taken anything back to him.

I’d have raised my beer and said, “cheers! Thanks!”

Me: proudly wearing a PRS T-shirt.
Guy who owns an acoustic guitar: Do you actually own any, or do you just wear the shirts?

Not directly about any of my guitars, but I have had a couple of people ask why I have pink birds tattooed on my arm.

I gotta ask...

Do you have all the birds from the fingerboard?

Did you get the owl (24 fret guitars) too?

“ That’s really neat how they painted that wood to make it look striped like that“

"Why do you need an expensive guitar like that? You're not even a famous rock star." -My mother.

That sounds dirty!

I got a version of that. “Why do you need an expensive guitar like that? Is it supposed to be “better?” What makes it worth that much money?”

You should have said, "My friends Winthrop and Muffy said the same thing at the club this morning."

No, just to the 17th fret. They were getting too small too look good beyond that.

I have an answer to the third question, but it’s not very polite!

I’d have raised my beer and said, “cheers! Thanks!”

It was Bollinger, as he got the guitar out of his Bentley!

And for me, wow that sounds sweet, nice looking guitar too!

 

[CandidPicker]

She: "Are you married to that guitar?"

Me: "No, I'm not, and I only use a mic so that you can hear me."
