Bravo! One point that never seems to get discussed is the shape of the headstock and how the G string tuning machine aligns with the nut. I think traditional head stocks misaligned the tuning machine post with the nut, creating a twangy G...
PRS at el, reshaped the headstock so that the G tuning machine post aligned with the nut more effectively. Kudos to PRS and others who took that consideration in mind and put it into place with their design.
It certainly makes a difference and is rarely mentioned.
One other thing that I would like to note is that this guy knows what he's talking about.
Thanks!
My negative with the headstock is that it's a pain for using clip-on tuners. Same with my electric PRS. Still, very happy with the parlor size and neck.
Great review, covered the guitar benefits and weaknesses very nicely.
Just picked up the limited edition model.
Soo excited to have a parlor guitar that sounds so sweet
That I could afford
And will be appropriate in the tiny room me and my pug live in
Thanks for sharing this review ☺️
Yeah, the limited edition is cheaper, I’m so happy 😂
Also got the limited edition and pug-approved here too!
i bought the pink at GC this weekend it and its a fun little guitar that plays great. i came in to test out amps for electric and walked out with that lol. i love it
As far as I know all prs acoustics are solid back and tops with veneer sides only, bringing the classical style build to te table. I was BLOWN away from my A50e Maple it blew all Taylor's and gibsons 5 times the price away. PRS are the best...
A "human scale guitar" I love that!
$299 right now at Sweetwater, as of 9/14/2022... Have at it!
btw I will never buy a veneer guitar again. How many guitars do you need? The better your guitar is, the less you feel like needing another. Get one excellent one and be fine.
Great review. Really impressive skills as well! Thanks!
Awesome for blues!
This thing blows me away. Great piece man!
The plastic cap over the truss rod scallop in the headstock is only attached with one tiny short screw. On my guitar it came off the first day I had it. Otherwise, I found the build immaculate and the sound is sweet and mellow.
Great review, Loki.
Great guitar. Good review. ThNks
Half tone tuned low and strings 0.13. ;)
Great review. I’m thinking of picking one up. I need a little inexpensive parlor to carry around. Is it me or does it sound wonderfully ‘dark’?
Sounds nice, but I imagine if Cort just released a version branded by them, it would be like 100 - 200 dollars less. As it is a Cort with PRS graphics.
Helpful review... thank you. Anyone have an opinion on the playability of this neck vs the Taylor mini?
I've never had a parlor guitar my girlfriend has a Taylor baby. Im very interested in those oddly when it think parlor guitar it think ian anderson of jethro tull
Of course, it is not possible to know if the veneer back and sides affect the tone unless you can compare it to a solid version, which does not exist. Many guitar companies are now hedging on whether the body is solid or veneer by simply saying "mahogany" or "maple." PRS is as guilty as any.
Blues all the way...
I have a Martin made in Mexico Dreadnought with electronics but I rarely use that at all so definitely gona get the non Electronic as I save money. Plus just Gona just use this guitar to chill whilst I watch television or something
Sounded much better acoustically.
Thanks for the great review James. I already have a Baby Taylor mahogany, I find it’s great for traveling but just a little too small for my home couch playing, is this PRS parlor larger than the Baby Taylor’s? It looks like the neck is wider at the nut than the baby Taylor, which I need for my fat fingers, is the PRS much bigger or the same size as the baby Taylor?
It has the same neck as a Gibson LP. 628mm
$1100 in australia
Hey nice work on this vid ...u say a PRS wide fat neck. Can u describe this a little bit more? is like a baseball bat fat/chunky neck? I've got big hands and "fast necks" are too skinny for me and hand cramps up after a while. Thank you
Would this be a good choice for a high strung (Nashville tuning) guitar?
What is the nut width on this guitar?
Can you use it with with no amp like around a campfire?
Nice playin
Good review. Made in Cort’s factory eh. I really like the look of the Cort P6 too. Decisions decisions...
ya cort build for so many big names......you make a good point
do they make a guitar like this one purely accoustic. i am not a big fan of electro/accoustic
Bro, what string gauge did you recommend for this guitar ?
Is 0.10 good enough?
Needs 12-52 !!!
you cant use 10s on acoustic guitars theyd sound thin and powerless
That is NOT true I am a 58 year old woman, I have played for 50 years I always used 10's. Play on what feels good to you. Don't listen to other people.. I played professionally for many years... do your own thing.. @@imannonymous7707
@@imannonymous7707 if you're a fingerstyle exclusive player like me, 10's are fine and dandy
Supposedly they come strung up with 012s which has me thinking...
Does "all-mahogany" means solid mahogany or not?
top yes, sides and back no
Roto!!
anyone know what size frets are on this guitar? Thanks in advance!
7
Probably 6105
I wonder about the action with those 012s
Very very very low with the trust rod adjusment ;)
What is the action of the fret board like? Im after an acoustic thats quite low
You can adjust it very very very low (with 12 gauge strings) with the trust rod (right turn) and mine never buzzzz :)
I have the same mic.
I would love to buy one of these but afraid the neck would be to fat for me.. Too bad because I love the design and sound otherwise being a small woman, small guitars are always interesting to me.
thats the point of the design, its an electric guitar thickness neck so its very thin
I want parlor guitar so bad 😔
Hmm so I spoke too soon on the tull thing
The guitar looks and sounds very good, too bad for that prs headstock… it doesn’t fit the soft curves and shapes of a classical body…imo
Yeah it’s all about personal choice I personally love the headstock
Omg the lip smacking is too muck
ya not fond of prs neck carves....ive yet to play one i like..... too bad too cuz i love the tone n price point.
someone should tell paul not everybodys hands are as big as his.....ive yet to play one comfortably with my thumb over the top
Bought this guitar online, on the strength of this review as at the moment I cannot go to a store and try one out. When it arrived a number of marks on back and neck, bracing that I could see inside rough as a badgers arse. Sounded terrible to my uneducated ears. Atempting to send it back.
Vaneer equals price point.
I was too distracted by all the lip-smacking to appreciate the review 😬
Please.quit smacking
Again, another “review” that falsifies the ACTUAL sound of this guitar.
smart marketing prs design a toy guitar and make it look premium and jack up the retail cost.
