A Full Review of the PRS P20 Parlor / The Guitar Breakdown

Finally! I forgot that you mentioned you were going to get into a dissecting some commercially made guitars. All expectations have been surpassed. I haven't seen anyone on the internet anywhere do any kind of intensive inquiry like this and it will bring so much value to the whole guitar community so I must graciously thank you

“We’ll be doing a lot more of these in the future.” - Please and thank you. Well done gentlemen.

Hey PRS people. For you $500 is called a mid-line guitar. But for many people $500 is called a major investment. No excuses for that sloppiness on the inside top. It doesn't cost more to just do it right. Thanks for keeping them honest, Driftwood.

It sounds so strange to me for a Luthier to say "it doesn't sound great because it's a parlour guitar." I'm not a huge fan of the shape, but to imply they are automatically a bit inferior because of the shape and size. Kinda odd

Man guys your bringing the content ! From building acoustic and electric guitars, diy amp builds , a Woodstock guitar coming soon , tiny bench concerts and now cutting guitars open! You guys never disappoint !!!! Keep up the great job!!!! Can’t wait for the next video.:)

I own one of these and i will add this to it: 1. The case zippers are ok, the attachments to the zippers break easily. I think one of the 3 or 4 are left to pull on. 2. The pickup does a lot of heavy lifting for depth on it if you want to swing over to open mics or play for friends. I wanted a parlor and got a parlor. Definitely glad i purchased it

I have one of these and am very pleased with it. I would consider myself more of an advanced beginner in terms of ability. I traded in a Taylor GS Mini towards it as I felt that one did not fit my hand size as well. The PRS definitely fits me better. I would consider it to be a step up from the GS Mini for sure. Thanks for the review.

You guys are off the hook, love it!!!! This has to be the BEST guitar review that I’ve ever seen, can’t wait for the next one!!!!!

I build pre-war style parlor guitars, quite a few of them. I’m not sure if you mean to say parlor guitars don’t sound great, because they are parlor guitars, or whether you mean that a fair comparison to a full sized guitar would be like comparing apples and oranges. But being “parlor” is not a detriment to the instrument in the least. There is a tonal quality to a well made parlor guitar that you just don’t get with a full sized instrument. And that preference by some has more to do with what the player is seeking tone wise. A parlor guitar isn’t a lesser guitar in the least. So I would say it isn’t a fair, general characterization of parlor guitars. Other than that, the craftsmanship on that top is atrocious and the review was great!

This is the most thorough guitar review process I've seen. I love it! Even though watching the guitar drop on the concrete is heart wrenching :) (funnily enough more than sawing it in half)

I freaking loved this test! Great idea you guys and unbelievably well executed! Bravo!

Every time I see back bracing appreciation it takes me back to my favorite beginner game of guitar pick hide-and-seek... Always good to know someone else spent some time in this cavernous sound hole before myself.

This series is fantastic! Love how thourough you are. This is the standard for instrument reviews.

Keep moving forward with this quality content and you'll be rewarded with huge audiences and great income. Enjoy all your offerings. Keep up the good work guys.

Best guitar review I’ve ever seen. Just top notch. Thanks!

It’s easy to forget that you guys only have 16K subscribers. With all the excellent production and new and unique ideas, I’m sure that 16k won’t stay 16k for too much longer. Keep it up!

I've owned this guitar and for my entry level skills, this guitar has sold me on parlor guitars. Knowing beer will not hurt the finish now is good for me too.

When I got mine last year it also had a very high action. .140 to be exact. PRS wanted me to send it to check out and adjust, but I just sanded down the saddle and have had no issues since. I went from hating it to loving it. I think I’m currently sitting in the .80-.90 range if I’m remember correctly.

I can just see some little kid that can't afford a guitar like that,weeping when you cut it in half.Now we all need to see your genius by gluing it back together,perfectly.........................

Just bought one. IM FLOORED! Fabulous setup right outta the box. Previously tried a Martin Parlor (fretted out at 13th fret) - played every Martin X series i could find locally and they ALL did it. Stickin w my P20- WARNING…💥 Dont get baked and order the p20 !!! Only p20 e has pickups!
