don’t have to work hard to get a great tone
out of them. The guitar stays in tune, it sounds
good, you feel inspired when you’re playing,
and you don’t have to wrestle with the EQ or
figure things out on your pedalboard to find the
perfect setting where it sounds amazing.
I know that comfort has to do with what you’ve
played before, and if you’re a long time Strat
guy and you find a great instrument, you’re
going to feel like that’s home base for you,
just from sheer familiarity. But, for me, one of
the major reasons I went with PRS is because
nothing on that guitar is distracting to play.
Yes, it’s a unique guitar, but there are so many
people now that play them. But when I started,
it was pretty unique for the lead worship
guy to be playing one. We keep coming back to
this in our conversation - it was important to
find a guitar that fit what I wanted to do,
and made it easier to do my job, even if
nobody else was playing them in the worship
environment then.
