Re: Question for Paul Reed Smith players:

PRS trem is great. Well engineered and once it's setup right, it can handle some abuse - check out what Mark Tremonti does with his!

Do some you guys who play PRS guitars think the guitar sounds better with the vibrato than with the wrap around bridge?

I prefer the sound of Strats with a vibrato over the hard tail Strats I've owned.

So does Eric Clapton, even though, like me, he never uses the vibrato.

Again, I'm not a PRS player but to me the PRS was always a sort of Fender/sort of Gibson sounding guitar...

The hardtail versions sounds slightly more Gibson while the vibrato loaded versions sound slightly more Fender.

They are not sort of this or sort of that. Trying to define them in those terms is missing the point. If you don't dig them that's cool but people need to understand that they are not trying to be something else. They are their own thing
