So cool to hear an interview that doesn't regurgitate the same fawning questions – this was thoughtful, interesting, and real and I'm so happy to hear Paul a little bit on his heels and unable to "take control" of a conversation. I like this Paul a lot.
That ding is kind of like the percussion on a organ
What an absolutely fantastic interview! Anna did an amazing job asking novel questions, mixing in topics outside of guitar making or music, and bringing out so much of Paul's excitement. Absolute gem of a conversation!
I've always been a strat guy but I picked up a standard 2408 last year and it's honestly my go to guitar, plays great, feels amazing and sounds stellar it makes you want another one and another Paul reed smith is a genius ????????????????
great interview thanks for posting
I get the significance of Carlos Santana to PRS guitars, but can't help think Paul overestimates (or maybe exaggerates) his impact / significance as a musician. I once heard him say Carlos is a household name…. what ? Maybe it's just me but I don't think so. YMMV
This was such a lovely interview with Paul, one of the best I’ve heard from him telling this story. I was there at the PRS event and hearing him talk about behind that 40th event was fascinating. The orianthi gifting that Blooming lotus was totally a passing torch moment, Daniela is not gonna forget that ever her reaction was a highlight ???? her playing and singing was also awesome that night! It’s really wonderful to see this shift with supporting girls/women in the ways he has and hearing about his favorite players. The comparisons of the two guitars were pretty close and the satin finish is really great on those Velas. Bird stories appreciated, love the blue jays in my neighborhood. ???? ????
I was very impressed with her questions and level of knowledge. This was fantastic!
Love his guirars ❤
Nice video!❤
Here I have a very special guitar pickup that don't have any noise(hum),it's a new technology ????

Maybe one day I will collaborate with a big guitar company, my technology(my inventions) is a game changer for guitar pickups…
I know my next PRS guitar will be that very same model (the S2 standard 22 satin) in dark blue… One day I'll have it.
I own several PRS just because of Mike Oldfield.
….get a Fender…..
Thanks Paul! I could listen to paul speak all day about guitar.
This guy is truly amazing! We love the same birds, the same sounds and the same Whisky.. let’s hope we don’t like the same woman.. ????????
Got 2 prs ( 1 paul’s and the charcoal.. they are just perfect! ).. thanks for the interview ????????
❤
I liked the sound of the S2 better, which is great news for us commoners.
How many people would demo how close their mid-line guitar is to their top of the line? Kudos to you Paul
I'm A PRS Collector,And Love Them All❤❤
I’ve owned a 2004 Custom 24, 2007 Custom 24, 2018 McCarty 594, 2020 DGT, several SE’s and one S2.
Fantastic guitars. All of them. Especially the Core models.
Thank you very much for all what you have brought to us with your wonderfull work. Viva The Warning ????????♥⚡????

I have an S2 McCarty 594 Single Cut with the Non US electronics and love it. It is my favorite

"Where Were You" is the best Jeff Beck song! ❤
Love PRS Guitar's I own two and I would love to own the new Herman Li signature but that's a little out of reach for me
Certainly among the better interviews with Paul I’ve heard. Music AND the man. Great job Anna! Paul can steer conversations when he wants, but the range of questions has him more like he was just talking with a friend, and it was enjoyable to hear. I’ve been playing PRS for 20 years now, and still discovering the brand. I just traded for a 2019 Special Semihollow LE, and it’s taken over my #1 spot. Fantastic instrument. Happy 40th, PRS!
Still yet to buy a PRS, but love what Paul and his team do.
Greeeeat interview!!! Fair enjoyed watching that!
I enjoyed this interview great video ????
They say never meet your heroes but I'd really like to meet Paul.
Great interview Anna! Great to hear Paul and you chat. More videos please!
