While I was in Denmark Street, I got some interesting feedback about Paul Reed Smith guitars.<\/p>\n
Personally I\u2019ve always perceived PRS as the third big brand after Fender and Gibson \u2013 the company that managed to launch a new design into a market dominated by the two big players, and carve out a respectable slice of it. I look up to PRS and I suppose to some extent I aspire to follow a similar path for my guitar. The fact that the shops are full of PRS models costing anything up to \u00a34,000, or in some cases even more, suggested to me that there is a market for good quality guitars in that price bracket.<\/p>\n
But it seems that PRSes are now massively out of fashion and not selling, with second-hand values plummeting. Rather a shame, I think, but more importantly for me, some cause for concern! I suppose it goes to confirm that, even with a strong brand, the price has got to be right. Or maybe it just highlights the fickle nature of fashion\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
