Are Americans allowed to say that? Aren't you afraid you'll get deported to some metric loving country?
Correct. We would be deported. And we would have to learn to say "eh" properly when it happens. That's just way too much for any of us southerners to handle.
 
My BS detector automatically turns on when I hear someone say there’s a document with “the truth”, but we can’t see it.
That said, the PRS guitars I’ve seen up close/played have all been great instruments - no doubt about it!
Between two guitarists in my band, there have been three PRS. All three had tuning stability issues. Two of the three were replaced with 7ender products, and the third is seeing its playing time reduced by a Strat. Seems to be a pretty common issue with them.

The PRS version of the 11 herbs and spices, or, the Coca-Cola recipe.

I know he sounds like a cult leader or a Scientologist.

Trade secrets though... I doubt that he has anything terribly unique at this point...but at the time they wrote it, he was probably ahead of the times. I’ve never heard Gibson or Fender associates talk like that... it blows my mind that Gibson had ignored Les Pauls request for a solid body guitar ten years before Fenders telecaster....and that he was laughed at for it..

Crazy talk or not I appreciate that he even thinks along those lines

Even low end guitars should have basic standards but I try to make sure I’m not comparing a low end version of one thing to a high end or even mid level model of something else. Were they playing low end PRS? There are a few operator errors that can occur but if switching has eliminated the problem, the problem probably isn’t them.

In any case the quality of the theory is not at fault. It’s the application.

Kilos are indeed a measure of weight. A kilometer is a measure of distance.

Kilo means 1000 of something... we use kilometres and pounds Americans use miles and kilos....in my experience anyway
