Re: PRS factory tour

Aweome videoes
and even more awesome the photos! nice goin there!!
met the big man himself!

you know other than the two machines, its pretty much
like a mom and pop shop feel to the place doesnt it!
Thats whats really cool about that place.
There is so much "Hands on" work in the place, truely amazing.
Gibson factory seems like something out of 1984 movie compared
to the PRS factory.

Re: PRS factory tour

Not even remotely true. The PRS SE (Student Edition, a budget line) are asian-made (Indo/Korea) but 'real' PRSes, the original thing, are 100% made in Maryland.

And there ARE PRSes with ebony boards. They're just kind of rarer.

Whoever this guy is, he's misled you. :/

Ed Roman was already put in his place once, I hear. He had his PRS dealership rights taken away because he was retopping guitars and selling them as 'factory-new'. He's got a pretty wide reputation for dissing brands he doesn't/no longer carries. He's bashed G&L guitars & basses pretty often too because he no longer can sell 'em.

Most people don't (seem) to take him seriously.
